rspec users - Jan 2007 - Integration Testing - Wait, Watir, or Selenium

I''m evaluating what to use for integration testing:

SafariWatir
- integrates nicely with RSpec
- doesn''t work with Ajax because of Safari event firing issues

Selenium
- Works with Ajax
- doesn''t integrate with RSpec

What is the best guess timeframe for RSpec integration testing?
Will it be able to test Ajax application in the early iterations?

Thanks,
Brian Yamabe

Hi,

What did you mean by Selenium integration with rspec?

You can install the selenium gem.  Then you can control the start/stop
of selenium server and use the driver to drive the browser,

http://selenium.rubyforge.org

Cheers

Rspec and selemnium (via selenium-rc) do indeed play nicely together.
See the spec-ui directory in svn trunk.

Thanks for both the replies.  I saw Selenium on Rails, but missed the  
Selenium gem.

Selenium on rails uses the original selenium HTML driver and provides
API for generating the HTML

Selenium Ruby bundles the selenium server and the Selenium ruby RC as
well as providing additional API for domain based web testing
(http://selenium.rubyforge.org/doc/domain-based-web-testing.html)

I have contacted them to see if two projects can work together in some way.

I e-mailed the author about this and he fixed it over Christmas.  Try  
version 0.2.1, it works for me.
