rspec users - Jun 2011 - RSpec 2.6 + Capybara 1.0 incompatibility

Hi.

I use RSpec-Rails 2.6.1 together with Capybara 1.0.0.

Whenever I start my integration (request) tests I get the following
error:

Failure/Error: page.execute_script(''$
("div.editable:first").trigger("mouseover");'')
     Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnexpectedJavascriptError:
       $ is not defined

It seems that it can''t find jQuery in there. Another strange thing is
that it doesn''t start the browser at all when telling Capybara to use
the Selenium driver.

Why do I write this here!? Because when I switch back to RSpec 2.5
everything runs fine again. Do I have to re-configure something for
RSpec 2.6? Any clue what the cause could be?

Regards,
Kai

Here is also the spec helper I use for my integration tests:

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= ''test''
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require ''rspec/rails''
require ''webrat''
require ''capybara/rspec''
require "database_cleaner"

Dir["#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/support/**/*.rb"].each {|f| require f}

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.filter_run :focus => true
  config.run_all_when_everything_filtered = true
  config.filter_run_excluding :exclude => true
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = false
  config.mock_with :rspec

  config.before(:all) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  end

  config.after(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
    Sunspot.remove_all!
  end
end

Webrat.configure do |config|
  config.mode = :rails
end

Webrat and Capybara are not compatible, as they each do similar things in
different ways. This wasn''t a visible issue in rspec-rails-2.5 because
capybara was only mixed in to request specs, but 2.6 mixes it into view and
helper specs as well.

HTH,

Thank you, David. After removing the Webrat stuff everything runs
perfectly again.
