Select2 testing with PhantomJS

[Jesper Rønn-Jensen]

I am currently creating a test suite to test pages which include the marvelous Select2 dropdown. I use Select2 both with ajax calls to search through a 65,000 item list and also use it as direct replacement for a dropdown (with 100 options).

Now, our test setup is to run

Cucumber => Capybara => Poltergeist => Phantomjs 

This way we have our browser testing to run headlessly and extremely fast.

Only thing is I cannot figure out how to test the typeahead functionality.

My interest is not as much in unit testing the select2 component itself.

But I am very interested in testing my application which now depends on select2. 

I want a way in my testing setup where I can verify that Select2 and my app integrates and works as I expect.

I would appreciate any information you could share in this subject: 

Any thoughts on how to automate testing of autocomplete features, thoughts, suggestions. And of course actual code in case you already succeeded in setting something similar up.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Did you find any solution?

We have exactly the same setup and Select2 iframe magic seems to kill Poltergeist/Phantomjs :/

If this is still actual:

I revived capybara-select2 gem https://github.com/goodwill/capybara-select2 which is not longer maintained. See https://github.com/Hirurg103/capybara_select2
