Can't use Cucumber with Webrat and Selenium

Hi,

I followed the instructions at
http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/setting-up-selenium to get
Selenium and Webrat to work with Cucumber. I have no problems using
Webrat but when I switch to use Selenium, I get the following error
message when I try to access the browser(e.g. calling visit(login_path))
in a step definition.

Die angeforderte Adresse ist in diesem Kontext ungültig. - connect(2)
(Errno::EADDRNOTAVAIL)
E:/SOFTWAREENTWICKLUNG/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:56:in timeout' (eval):2:in visit’

(for those who don’t speak german: The requested address is invalid in
this context.)

I also tried to use Cucumber and Selenium without Webrat and it works
without any problems.

I’m using Rails 2.3.0, Cucumber 0.2.3, Webrat 0.4.3 and RSpec 1.2.2 on a
WinXP machine.

I would be very pleased if anyone had an idea about the reason for this
failure.

Well I can’t help you but I do have a similar problem. In my case
Cucumber-Selenium works, Cucumber-Webrat works but Cucmber-Webrat-
Selenium doesn’t work because Webrat issues requests to www.example.com
and Selenium starts up a mongrel on localhost:3001, connects to it via
Firefox and then throws up when it gets a request to go to
www.example.com.
I need to find a way to change the host name that Webrat uses when it
connects via Selenium.

In env.rb

Webrat.configure do |config|
config.mode = :selenium
config.application_environment = :test

Tell where the application is running on for selenium to test

config.application_address = “#{app_server_host}”
config.application_port = “#{app_port}”

Tell where selenium server is running on, when not specified defaults

to nil (server starts in webrat process and runs locally)
config.selenium_server_address = “#{selenium_server_host}”
config.selenium_server_port = “4444”

Set the key that Selenium uses to determine the browser running

config.selenium_browser_key = ‘#{browser}’

end

Hello,

I has spork 0.5.0 and worked fine. now I updated to spork 0.5.7 which
seems to break the existing setting. The stack trace looks like this:

It’s missing application_controller. THe environment.rb is loaded
before require ‘spec/rails’. Any idea?

Thanks

If so, just remove the conditional from the line that requires environment.rb

If that’s not it, you may want to try the spork google group:

It’s probably because of this:

Yup, removing the condition fixed the problem. Thanks!
