See Yak Shaving Failing Integration Tests with React and Rails
See the .travis.yml file, at the bottom, to see what driver is used by Travis.
DRIVER=selenium bundle exec rake
Codeship is set to use the default driver.
The current default driver is poltergeist_errors_ok.
Support is included for the following drivers:
- Selenium Chrome (
DRIVER=selenium_chrome rspec
) - Selenium Firefox (
DRIVER=selenium_firefox rspec
) - Poltergeist (
DRIVER=poltergeist rspec
) - Poltergeist no animations (
DRIVER=poltergeist_no_animations rspec
) - Poltergeist errors ok (
DRIVER=poltergeist_errors_ok rspec
) - Webkit (
DRIVER=webkit rspec
). Note, webkit has more errors than the other drivers.
You may want to experiment with using the different drivers.
- The current retry count is 4, configured in spec_helper.rb.
- When developing new tests, you do not want retry a failure multiple times.
- Set this env value:
export RSPEC_RETRY_RETRY_COUNT=1
- Set this env value:
You may want to see the chromedriver-helper docs and run chromedriver-update to get the latest version of the Chrome driver.
Poltergeist is awesome because it will crash on JS Errors. Poltergeist is not aswesome because phantomjs is currently having race conditions on crashing a lot.
Polteregeist is consistently crashing due to issue 830 and issue 232. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the future.
support/poltergeist.rb:34
contains code to restart phantomjs with the hopes that this will cause a failing test to pass.
