So Many Devices! 🕺

status

This gem provides a list of Capybara Selenium configurations that you can use. Probably useful to run your system tests on different devices.

Installation

Here is how you can use it in RSpec but you can, of course, use it wherever you want:

Add this line to your application's Gemfile, in group tests:

group :test do
  gem 'so_many_devices'
end

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install so_many_devices

Usage

In your rails_helper.rb you can configure your preferred device for tests:

config.before(:each, type: :system, js: true) do
  driven_by :iphone_6_7_8
end

You can always use the headless version of each device by appending _headless to the device name.

config.before(:each, type: :system, js: true) do
  driven_by :iphone_6_7_8_headless
end

We use it to run our system tests on so many devices! Here is our standard configuration:

config.before(:each, type: :system, js: true) do
  driven_by ENV['SELENIUM_DRIVER'].to_sym
end

and then we can run

SELENIUM_DRIVER=iphone_6_7_8_headless bundle exec rspec --pattern "**/system/**/*_spec.rb"
SELENIUM_DRIVER=selenium_chrome_headless bundle exec rspec --pattern "**/system/**/*_spec.rb"

of course, your tests need to run on so many devices!

Available devices

Check the YML file containing all the devices. So many!

Chrome with downloads capabilities

We provide also an instance of Chrome already configured with Downloads capabilities and a SoManyDevices::DownloadsHelper that you can use in your project.

Use the following:

config.before(:each, type: :system, js: true) do
  driven_by :selenium_chrome_with_download_headless # or non-headless version
end

config.after(:each, type: :system, js: true) do
  clear_downloads
end

config.include SoManyDevices::DownloadsHelper, type: :system

and in your test (just an example...):

it 'can download a file', :js do
  visit funny_page_path
  click_link 'Download PDF'
  wait_for_download
  expect(downloads.length).to eq(1)
  expect(last_download).to match(/.*\.pdf/)
  last_pdf = File.read(last_download)
end

If you prefer to use this driver only on selected tests, you can use the following:

config.before(:each, type: :system, js: true, with_downloads: true) do
  driven_by :selenium_chrome_with_download_headless
end

config.after(:each, type: :system, js: true, with_downloads: true) do
  clear_downloads
end

config.include SoManyDevices::DownloadsHelper, type: :system

and in your test (just an example...):

it 'can download a file', :js, :with_downloads do
end

The call to clear_downloads makes sure that all the downloads are removed from the downloads folder. All downloads are performed in the tmp/downloads folder of your project.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Do you think our devices are not that many? 😡

Please contribute by adding more devices to the list, so that they can be even more...many...😕...and the next person coming cannot say "they are not that many..."
