Hi!
I'm using cucumber + selenium and I love it. However I'm looking to
add some methods (example: click_and_wait etc) to the lib. Therefore
looked around a bit and I got two questions:
Firstly about rspec-ui, I'm a little confused, does rspec-ui overlap
with its propose with webrat with cucumber or I'm missing a point?
Rspec-UI is just a set of helpers and startup scripts for using browser
based testing frameworks (such as Selenium or Watir) in Rspec. Webrat is
a Acceptance testing tool which simulates the browser in memory (rather
than running through a real browser).
The current rspec-ui project was setup before stories or features so the
project was focused on interacting with the browser in specs (Which we
don't do now).
So Rspec-UI while it still has some useful helpers is rather out of date
with Rspecs current directions.
Secondly, are there any plans to "officially" support selenium along
with webrat? (or perphaps cucumber project is just waiting someone
with such needs to stand up go for it.)
Interestingly Webrat can drive Selenium:
http://github.com/brynary/webrat/tree/master/selenium_spike.rb
It still however cannot do all the JavaScript magic and complex UI
interactions that selenium can do.
