Release date: 2013-04-09
Changed
* Hard version requirement on Ruby >= 1.9.3. Capybara will no longer install
on 1.8.7. [Felix Schäfer]
* Capybara no longer depends on the `selenium-webdriver` gem. Add it to
your Gemfile if you wish to use the Selenium driver. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements` defaults to `true`. [Jonas Nicklas]
* In case of multiple matches `smart` matching is used by default. Set
`Capybara.match = :one` to revert to old behaviour. [Jonas Nicklas].
* Options in select boxes use smart matching and no longer need to match
exactly. Set `Capybara.exact_options = false` to revert to old behaviour.
[Jonas Nicklas].
* Visibility of text depends on `Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements` instead of
always returning only visible text. Set `Capybara.visible_text_only = true`
to revert to old behaviour. [Jonas Nicklas]
* Cucumber cleans up session after scenario instead. This is consistent with
RSpec and makes more sense, since we raise server errors in `reset!`.
[Jonas Nicklas]
Added
* All actions (`click_link`, `fill_in`, etc...) and finders now take an options
hash, which is passed through to `find`. [Jonas Nicklas]
* CSS selectors are sent straight through to driver instead of being converted
to XPath first. Enables the use of some pseudo selectors, such as `invalid`
in some drivers. [Thomas Walpole]
* `Capybara.asset_host` option, which inserts a `base` tag into the page on
`save_and_open_page`, eases debugging with the Rails asset pipeline.
[Steve Hull]
* `exact` option, can specify whether to match substrings or entire text.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* `match` option, can specify behaviour in case of multiple matches.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* `wait` option, can specify how long to wait for a given action/finder.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* Config option which disables bubbling of errors raised inside server.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* `text` now takes a parameter which makes it possible to return either all
text or only visible text. The default depends on
`Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements`. `Capybara.visible_text_only` option is
available for compatibility. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `has_content?` and `has_text?` now take the same count options as `has_selector?`
[Andrey Botalov]
* `current_scope` is now public API, returns the current element when `within`
is used. [Martijn Walraven]
* `find("input").disabled?` returns true if a node is disabled. [Ben Lovell]
* Find disabled fields and buttons with `:disabled => false`. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `find("input").hover` moves the mouse to the element in supported drivers.
[Thomas Walpole]
* RackTest driver now support `form` attribute on form elements.
[Thomas Walpole]
* `page.title` returns the page title. [Terry Progetto]
* `has_title?` matcher to assert on page title. [Jonas Nicklas]
* The gem is now signed with a certicficate. The public key is available in the
repo. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `:select` and `:textarea` are valid options for the `:type` filter on `find_field`
and `has_field?`. [Yann Plancqueel]
Fixed
* Fixed race conditions when synchronizing across multiple nodes [Jonas Nicklas]
* Fixed race conditions in deeply nested selectors [Jonas Nicklas]
* Fix issue with `within_frame`, where selecting multiple nested frames didn't
work as intended. [Thomas Walpole]
* RackTest no longer fills in readonly textareas. [Thomas Walpole]
* Don't use autoload to load files, require them directly instead. [Jonas Nicklas]
* Rescue weird exceptions when booting server [John Wilger]
* Non strings are now properly cast when using the maxlength attribute [Jonas Nicklas]
