Deprecation warning for capybara-webkit requiring Qt version 5

When I run rspec, I get the following message:

The next major version of capybara-webkit will require at least version 5.0 of Qt. You're using version 4.8.6.

I was not aware I was using Qt, so know nothing of the implications of upgrading it.

How do I upgrade it and what precautions should I take before doing so?

Solution

  • equaleffect's comment above led me to ImNaN answer, i.e.

    Comment out the capybara and capybara-webkit gems from your gemfile. Then:

    bundle
    gem uninstall capybara-webkit
    gem uninstall capybara # if it complains about dependencies 'gem uninstall' them first
    brew remove qt
    brew remove qt5 # if you've been playing around

From a clean environment (restart your terminal):

    brew install qt5
    brew linkapps qt5
    brew link --force qt5

Uncomment capybara and capybara-webkit in the gemfile and then:

    bundle install
