Facing the question when installing capybara-webkit on Ubuntu 14.04LTS

I am running rails development environment on Ubuntu-14.04 LTS.

I added capybara-webkit to my vendor and ran 'bundle install'.

group :development, :test do
    gem 'factory_girl'
    gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 3.0'
    gem 'capybara'
    gem "capybara-webkit"
end

      

        
        
        
      

    

Package installation failed with error. I did the following and tried again ...

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libqtwebkit-dev build-essential

      

        
        
        
      

    

This time the 'bundle install' was successful. Mistake.

I added the following to the "Rails helper" and restarted the rails application.

Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each { |f| require f }

      

        
        
        
      

    

I followed the instructions in " http://robots.thoughtbot.com/automatically-wait-for-ajax-with-capybara " and created a file "spec / support / wait_for_ajax.rb" with the following content.

module WaitForAjax
  def wait_for_ajax
    Timeout.timeout(Capybara.default_wait_time) do
      loop until finished_all_ajax_requests?
    end
  end

  def finished_all_ajax_requests?
    page.evaluate_script('jQuery.active').zero?
  end
end

      

        
        
        
      

    

Then I created a spec file spec / features / guest_login_spec.rb with the following test

feature "Guest attempt login" do
    scenario "with valid email and password", js: true do
        visit root_path
        click_on 'Login'
        wait_for_ajax
        reload_page
        expect(page).to have_css "#login"
    end
end

      

        
        
        
      

    

I tried to run the test and got the following error:

Failures:

  1) Guest attempt login with valid email and password
     Failure/Error: visit root_path
     Capybara::Webkit::ConnectionError:
       /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p576/gems/capybara-webkit-1.3.1/bin/webkit_server failed to start.
     # /home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p576/gems/capybara-webkit-1.3.1/lib/capybara/webkit/connection.rb:75:in `parse_port'

      

        
        
        
      

    

I have no idea about this issue. I'm not sure if the issue is with installation or testing or configuration. I tried to find a solution in the forums, but in veins.

I will be very grateful if someone can help me configure capybara-webkit correctly on Ubuntu 14.04LTS and fix this problem.

I use:

OS:        Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on x86_64
Rails:     4.1.5
Ruby:      2.0.0p576
Bundler:   1.7.3

      

        
        
        
      

    

Gemfile.lock

$ cat Gemfile.lock | grep capybara
    capybara (2.4.4)
    capybara-webkit (1.3.1)
      capybara (>= 2.0.2, < 2.5.0)
  capybara
  capybara-webkit

      

        
        
        
      

    

Many thanks,
