Including a module in a Capybara Minitest TestCase

[Mark Pitsilos]

Hello,

I am trying to include a custom helper module in my test_helper.rb so that I don't need to do it per test.

However re-opening class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest doesn't do the trick.

Instead I am reopening Capybara::Rails::TestCase to get it to work.

# FIXME: The following does not work

#class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

class Capybara::Rails::TestCase

  # Include support modules for features

  include FeatureHelpers

end

Any idea why my initial approach is not working and a cleaner approach to do this would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

I know this is old, but for future Googlers...

From https://github.com/blowmage/minitest-rails-capybara:

Capybara is intended to be used for automating a browser to test your application's features. This is different than the integration tests that Rails provides, so you must use the Capybara::Rails::TestCase for your feature tests.

And further down:

 While not recommended, you can add Capybara to your integration tests. To do this add the following to your test_helper.rb file:

 

class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

  include Capybara::DSL

  include Capybara::Assertions

end
