Testing Safari WebDriver Integration in Capybara Framework

This test suite implements comprehensive Safari WebDriver integration testing for the Capybara testing framework. It validates Safari-specific behaviors, browser interactions, and WebDriver compatibility while handling known Safari limitations and edge cases.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite covers core Safari WebDriver functionality including:

  • Browser session management and configuration
  • Form interactions and file uploads
  • Storage handling (localStorage/sessionStorage)
  • Frame switching and window management
  • Date/time input handling
  • Shadow DOM interactions

Implementation Analysis

The implementation uses RSpec shared examples and custom matchers to validate Safari-specific behaviors. It leverages Selenium WebDriver’s Safari capabilities while accounting for browser-specific limitations through strategic test skipping and pending states.

Key patterns include driver registration with custom options, timeout configuration, and storage clearing behavior testing.

Technical Details

Testing tools and configuration:

  • Selenium WebDriver with Safari driver
  • RSpec test framework
  • Capybara integration testing DSL
  • Custom browser options and capabilities
  • Configurable timeout settings
  • Storage management options

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test suite exemplifies several testing best practices:

  • Comprehensive error handling and skip conditions
  • Modular test organization using shared examples
  • Clear documentation of browser-specific limitations
  • Flexible configuration options
  • Proper test isolation and state management
