A capybara driver that uses WebKit via QtWebKit.
capybara-webkit depends on a WebKit implementation from Qt, a cross-platform development toolkit. You'll need to download the Qt libraries to build and install the gem.
If you're on OS X, download the non-debug Cocoa package. Note that installing Qt via homebrew takes more than an hour, so we don't recommend it.
If you're on Ubuntu, you can install the libqt4-dev package. For other Linux distributions, download this package.
If you're like us, you'll be using capybara-webkit on CI.
On Linux platforms, capybara-webkit requires an X server to run, although it doesn't create any visible windows. Xvfb works fine for this. You can setup Xvfb yourself and set a DISPLAY variable, or try out the headless gem.
Add the capybara-webkit gem to your Gemfile:
gem "capybara-webkit"
Set your Capybara Javascript driver to webkit:
Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit
Tag scenarios with @javascript to run them using a headless WebKit browser.
