#rails

๐Ÿค” Situation

When you want to debug with real display.

The setting is like this.

#spec/rails_helper.rb Capybara.register_driver :headless_chrome do |app| Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new( app, browser: :chrome, options: browser_options, http_client: Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new ) end browser_options = ::Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new.tap do |opts| opts.args << '--headless' end

๐Ÿ‘ Solution

Comment out opts.args << '--headless' line.

#spec/rails_helper.rb Capybara.register_driver :headless_chrome do |app| Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new( app, browser: :chrome, options: browser_options, http_client: Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new ) end browser_options = ::Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new.tap do |opts| # opts.args << '--headless' end

I think a better solution would be adding configuration to specify js_driver in rails_helper

Capybara.javascript_driver = ENV.fetch('CAPYBARA_DRIVER', :headless_chrome).to_sym
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

then you just specify env to display chrome browser in the terminal

CAPYBARA_DRIVER=chrome rspec spec/*_spec.rb
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
