Handle Redirects Via Standard Rails Integration Tests? about capybara-webkit

[jferris]

Hey - capybara-webkit uses capybara's Server class to choose a port and boot up an application server to run tests on. In general, you shouldn't have to do anything with the URL. Capybara will hit your application using the address and port it set up, and Rails will generate URLs using the same host and port as the request by default. Are you able to run tests using another capybara driver like Selenium or Akephalos? That would help isolate the problem.

Oh no, I never ever used any of those as I have been waiting for the holy grail (this gem) for some time. I've written 2 rails apps, one in 2.3.11 and the other in 3.1.0.beta1 that illustrate what I have to do to make capybara-webkit work in standard rails integration tests. I'll post the links here as well as a blog link on the topic when I finish up.

I am making good progress now, but I would be interested in knowing if any of my elegant-hacks™ are on target or not :)

OK, this is a non issue. _url redirects are handled fine.
