Trying to get selenium working in rails 3 - "WebMock::NetConnectNotAllowedError"
I'm trying to use selenium for the first time in a rails 3 app. (I've used it before with rails 2). I'm in an rvm which of course has its own gemset.
I first ran a task with capybara, without selenium:
#./spec/requests/homepage_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
describe 'home page', :type => :request do
it 'should welcome the user' do
visit '/'
page.should have_content('Buddy')
end
end
This ran fine. I then added a ":js => true" option to the options for describe, which is supposed to make it run using selenium (as far as i know). And got this error:
Failure/Error: @page.start_new_browser_session
WebMock::NetConnectNotAllowedError:
Real HTTP connections are disabled. Unregistered request: POST http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/ with body 'cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=%2Afirefox&2=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000&3=&4=' with headers {'Accept'=>'*/*', 'Content-Type'=>'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8', 'User-Agent'=>'Ruby'}
You can stub this request with the following snippet:
stub_request(:post, "http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/").
with(:body => "cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=%2Afirefox&2=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000&3=&4=",
:headers => {'Accept'=>'*/*', 'Content-Type'=>'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8', 'User-Agent'=>'Ruby'}).
to_return(:status => 200, :body => "", :headers => {})
============================================================
It's my first time using capybara and i think my config is just wrong somehow. Maybe missing some essential gems? I was following this blog post: Capybara (and Selenium) with RSpec & Rails 3: quick tutorial
Any ideas?

Answer
With this...
WebMock.disable_net_connect!(:allow_localhost => true)
you allow real web access to your localhost. It's perfect when you need to use Selenium for you application and, at the same time, mock external resources.
