Note: While the solution in this card should still work, we prefer another solution now: Hide your Selenium browser window with a VNC server.

If you would like to hide the annoying selenium browser window that always gets the focus and prevents you from working, you can use the headless gem. This note provides some instructions how you can get it to work with your cucumber accepta...

If you want to use this with capistrano 2.x just replace the touch command:

-    run "touch #{current_path}/tmp/restart.txt"
+    run "passenger-config restart-app --ignore-app-not-running #{deploy_to}...

In medium-sized to large Rails applications, asset compilation can take several minutes. In order to speed up deployment, asset precompilation can be skipped. This card automates the process.

Capistrano 3

namespace :deploy do
  
  desc 'Automatically skip asset compile if possible'
  task :auto_skip_assets do
    asset_locations = %r(^(Gemfile\.lock|app/assets|lib/assets|vendor/asset))

    revisions = []
    on roles :app do
      within current_path do
        revisions << capture(:cat, 'REVISION').strip
      ...

These steps are now part of Spreewald.

The step definitions below allow you to test the filename suggested by the server:

When I follow "Export as ZIP"
Then I should get a download with the filename "contacts_20110203.zip"

Capybara

Then /^I should get a download with the filename "([^\"]*)"$/ do |filename|
  page.driver.response.headers['Content-Disposition'].should include("filename=\"#{filename}\"")
end
