Error using capybara-webkit for scraping in ubuntu server amazon Capybara::Webkit::ConnectionError (/path/webkit_server failed to start.):

Question

I have this code in my controller:

browser = Capybara.current_session
browser.visit url[0]

And it gets error in visit method.

I've installed lib qt5 in my server, i know that i need to use an xserver, but i've installed without changes in the log.

Any suggestions? I think is a server configuration or lib. PD: in development mode, in my laptop, everything works perfectly, it brokes in production mode.

Thank's guys for giving me clues. 1. Change webkit to poltergeist gem. It have the same result, but better functionality in servers. https://github.com/teampoltergeist/poltergeist 2. Install phantomjs (dependency for poltergeist) by binaries. https://github.com/teampoltergeist/poltergeist#installing-phantomjs

And that's all.
