geckodriver-helper

Build status Gem Version

Easy installation and use of geckodriver, that provides the HTTP API described by the WebDriver protocol to communicate with Gecko browsers, such as Firefox.

Description

geckodriver-helper installs an executable, geckodriver, in your gem path.

This script will, if necessary, download the appropriate binary for your platform and install it into ~/.geckodriver-helper, then exec it.

Usage

If you're using Bundler and Capybara, it's as easy as:

# Gemfile
gem 'geckodriver-helper'

then, in your specs:

Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox)
end
