Run Rails RSpec + Capybara feature specs on Browserstack

Browserstack

Setting up:

• Rails
• RSpec
• Capybara
• Browserstack

AIM: Run RSpec feature specs locally on browserstacks remote browsers.

Step 1: Get it working in local mode.

Run the rake task which switches the capybara driver to use browserstack. rake local

The rake task simply sets ENV['TEST_DRIVER'] = 'browserstack', this triggers in the rails_helper.rb to no longer use plain old selenium and the switch over to use browserstack.

The browser configuration for the remote browser that will be used is in config/browserstack/local.config.yml.

Requirements:

1. Setup a browserstack account.
2. Export the required env variables.

export BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username> &&
export BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>

TODO:

1. Parallel tests.
2. Get it working with CircleCI
