Using this gem, whenever a capybara cucumber scenario fails, the HTML for the failed page and a screenshot (when using capybara-webkit) is saved into /tmp/capybara.
This is a huge help when trying to diagnose a problem in your failing steps as you can view the source code and potentially how the page looked at the time of the failure.
gem install capybara-screenshot
or update your Gemfile to include:
group :test do
gem 'capybara-screenshot'
end
That's it!
A simple Rails 3.1 example application has been set up at https://github.com/mattheworiordan/capybara-screenshot-test-rails-3.1
Git clone the app, and then run Cucumber rake cucumber or RSpec rspec spec/**/*_spec.rb and expect failures.
Then check the tmp/capybara folder for the automatic screen shots generated from failed tests.
