Integration tests with Javascript via Test :: Unit and Capybara in Ruby on Rails

With RSpec and Capybara, I used to write the following code to test capabilities on pages where javascript was run:

feature "Some Feature" do
    scenario "testing some scenario", js: true do
        # code
    end
end

Now using Test :: Unit with Capybara, how do I achieve the same result? Because when I do test 'checks some feature on some scenario', js: true

it doesn't work.

EDIT

So, I was able to get by with the following:

setup do
    Capybara.current_driver = Capybara.javascript_driver
end

teardown do
    Capybara.current_driver = Capybara.default_driver
end

test 'checks some feature on some scenario with javascript goin on' do
    # code
end

Is there any other solution without this boilerplate code?

Ok, I resolve this by defining a method in test_helper.rb

which terminates the test in the capybara driver by assigning:

def js
    Capybara.current_driver = Capybara.javascript_driver
    yield
    Capybara.current_driver = Capybara.default_driver
end

And using it like:



test 'checks some feature on some scenario with javascript goin on' do
    js do
        # code
    end
end

I read that minitest-data might be useful here, but I haven't dug anymore.
