  • always_include_port (Boolean = false) - Whether the Rack server's port should automatically be inserted into every visited URL unless another port is explicitly specified.
  • app_host (String, nil) - The default host to use when giving a relative URL to visit, must be a valid URL e.g. http://www.example.com.
  • asset_host (String = nil) - Where dynamic assets are hosted - will be prepended to relative asset locations if present.

  • default_retry_interval (Numeric = 0.01) - The number of seconds to delay the next check in asynchronous processes.
  • default_selector (:css, :xpath = :css) - Methods which take a selector use the given type by default. See also Selector.

  • enable_aria_label (Boolean = false) - Whether fields, links, and buttons will match against aria-label attribute.
  • enable_aria_role (Boolean = false) - Selectors will check for relevant aria role (currently only button).
  • exact (Boolean = false) - Whether locators are matched exactly or with substrings. Only affects selector conditions written using the XPath#is method.
  • exact_text (Boolean = false) - Whether the text matchers and :text filter match exactly or on substrings.
  • ignore_hidden_elements (Boolean = true) - Whether to ignore hidden elements on the page.
  • match (:one, :first, :prefer_exact, :smart = :smart) - The matching strategy to find nodes.
  • predicates_wait (Boolean = true) - Whether Capybara's predicate matchers use waiting behavior by default.
  • raise_server_errors (Boolean = true) - Should errors raised in the server be raised in the tests?
