Capybara Hover Over Element

To emulate mouse hover with Capybara use the following method:

find(:css, "#menu_bar").hover

I am using capybara (2.1.0) and selenium-webdriver (2.32.1)

Frame in Capybara

To access the element in a frame or iframe using capybara use the following within method

  within_frame('iframex') do
    fill_in "email", :with => random_email
  end

Ignore browser untrusted security certificate

To ignore the browser untrusted security certificate so that the cucumber test can be run in the test environment you can modify the env.rb to ignore the warning:

require 'selenium/webdriver'

Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
   profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
   profile.assume_untrusted_certificate_issuer = false
   Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox, :profile => profile)
end

file upload using capybara

To put the file name into the file upload dialog box with Capybara we can use the following Selenium webdriver method. We can use the Ruby code Dir.pwd to get the current working directory path.

page.driver.browser.find_element(:id, "fileUploadId").send_keys 
(Dir.pwd + "file upload path")
