Capybara - Poltergeist and Selenium

I'm using Cucumber to run tests and I use both PhantomJS (poltergeist) and Selenium WebDriver. One of my tests is following a redirect to a new window from a hyperlink.

Is there a way that I can write into my step definition for navigating to a window to say: If using Poltergeist, run this line of code else run this one (Selenium as default)?:

Example:

When in Selenium Browser: 

within_window(->{ page.title == 'Title' }) do
  expect(current_url).to eq('URL')
  page.driver.browser.close
end

When in Poltergeist:

new_window = window_opened_by { click_link 'Something' }
within_window new_window do
  # code
end
Solution

  • You can base your conditional on the value of Capybara.current_driver

    if Capybara.current_driver == :selenium
   do the selenium things
else
   do the poltergeist things
end
