Capybara/Selenium: Hovers and drags spend 250 ms on every pointer move

Selenium's Actions API animates every pointer move to make it somewhat realistic. Capybara uses this for

• hover
• drag_to
• right_click
• double_click
• click with an offset (x:, y:) or modifier keys

Each of these waits 250 ms for a test-only animation which we usually try to disable anyway. You can make it instant if you want:

# spec/support/instant_pointer_moves.rb

if Gem::Version.new(Capybara::VERSION) > Gem::Version.new('3.40.0')
  raise 'Please check if Capybara::Selenium::Node#browser_action still builds every action chain (InstantPointerMoves)'
end

module InstantPointerMoves

  private

  # Capybara builds every action chain here
  def browser_action
    super.tap { |action| action.default_move_duration = 0 }
  end

end

Capybara::Selenium::Node.prepend(InstantPointerMoves)
