Caviidae

This is a gem that provides helpers for acceptance testing Visualforce apps with Capybara, RSpec and the Databasedotcom gem. It makes use of the databasedotcom gem to allow you to use fixtures that are automatically cleaned up between specs.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'caviidae'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install caviidae

RSpec Usage

Include the following in your spec_helper.rb:

require "capybara"
require "capybara/dsl"
require "capybara/rspec"
require "caviidae"
require "caviidae/rspec"

Capybara.default_driver = :selenium
Capybara.app_host = 'http://myapp.com'

Caviidae.configure do |config|
  config.client_id      = ENV['SFDC_CLIENT_ID']
  config.client_secret  = ENV['SFDC_CLIENT_SECRET']
  config.username       = ENV['SFDC_USERNAME']
  config.password       = ENV['SFDC_PASSWORD']
  config.security_token = ENV['SFDC_SECURITY_TOKEN']
  # Specify any sObjects that should be materialized before running any tests.
  config.materialize    = ['User', 'Account']
end

Then create your request specs:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "My App", :type => :request do
  let(:account) do
    Account.new(:Name => 'test', :OwnerId => User.first.Id).save
  end

  # After each test runs, any created sobjects will be removed.
  it "does something with the account" do
    visit '/'
    page.should have_content(account.Name)
  end
end

Any records that get created from the frontend will need to be manually deleted. Something like this should work well enough:

it "creates an order" do
  visit '/create_order'
  within('#form') do
    fill_in 'First name', :with => "TestXXX_First"
    fill_in 'Amount', :with => 1
  end
  click_on 'Submit'
  order = Order.last
  order.FirstName__c.should eq("TestXXX_First")
  order.delete
end
