mattheworiordan/capybara-screenshot

This system is a Ruby gem that integrates screenshot capture and HTML page saving into various testing frameworks, including RSpec, Cucumber, Minitest, Test::Unit, and Spinach. It provides configurable drivers for capturing browser states on test failures, supports saving outputs to local storage or Amazon S3, and enhances test reports with embedded images or links. The library ensures compatibility across multiple versions of its supported testing tools through extensive multi-version test matrices.

This period focused on a major architectural refactor of the capybara-screenshot library, introducing S3 upload capabilities and extensible callback hooks. The work also involved restructuring driver registration and screenshot capture methods, while establishing multi-version testing infrastructure for RSpec and Cucumber.

This period focused on establishing a robust testing foundation by initializing RSpec suites and expanding support for Cucumber, Minitest, Test::Unit, and Spinach. The work involved developing custom reporter formatters to integrate screenshot data directly into test outputs and implementing comprehensive unit and feature tests to verify compatibility across multiple framework versions.

This change introduces a new set of RSpec reporter modules (Text, HTML Link, HTML Embed, JSON, and TextMate Link) that integrate screenshot paths directly into test output. The Text reporter now prints screenshot file paths in the console, while the HTML reporters embed images or provide clickable links to saved screenshots in failure reports. The JSON reporter includes screenshot metadata in its output, and the TextMate reporter adds functionality to open screenshots directly in the editor. These reporters use a shared base module to enhance RSpec's failure handling methods, ensuring consistent screenshot information is available across different output formats.

The gem now includes a \.rspec\ file that sets the default RSpec output format to 'documentation' and enables color, ensuring consistent test reporting for users. Additionally, an \Appraisals\ file has been added to define test matrices for RSpec (3.0, 3.3) and Cucumber (1.3, 2.4), allowing the library to be validated against multiple versions of these frameworks during development and CI.

The capybara-screenshot library has been updated to version 1.0.27, introducing a significant architectural refactor that adds S3 upload capabilities via the new \S3Saver\ class and introduces extensible \after\_save\_html\ and \after\_save\_screenshot\ callbacks. The integration logic has been restructured to use \prepend\ for Capybara session overrides and dedicated reporter modules for RSpec formatters, while the \world.rb\ helper has been removed in favor of the new DSL methods.

The project now uses Appraisal to run tests against multiple versions of testing frameworks, ensuring compatibility across different environments. New gemfiles have been added to support Cucumber 1.3 and 2.4, RSpec 3.0 and 3.3, and Spinach 0.8, alongside an updated 'latest' configuration. This allows the library to verify that it works correctly with these specific versions of the testing tools, rather than just a single default setup.

The library has been restructured to centralize configuration and driver handling within the main module. Screenshot capture is now managed via explicit \screenshot\_and\_save\_page\ and \screenshot\_and\_open\_image\ methods, replacing previous implicit behaviors. Driver support has been expanded and standardized, adding native registration for Selenium (including Chrome and headless variants), Poltergeist, Webkit, and Terminus, while explicitly marking RackTest and Mechanize as unsupported for screenshots. The system now supports advanced configuration options such as autosaving on failure, custom filename prefix formatters, timestamp and random suffix appending, and S3 upload capabilities. Additionally, the library respects the modern \Capybara.save\_path\ preference for output directories, falling back to the deprecated \save\_and\_open\_page\_path\ for older versions.

Add Cucumber support environment configuration; Added Cucumber integration tests for screenshot functionality; Added feature tests for Minitest and Test::Unit integration; Added integration tests for RSpec integration; Added test support for screenshot capture on Spinach failures; Added test support infrastructure for Aruba and Capybara integration; Added tests for Spinach integration and screenshot handling; Added unit tests for RSpec reporter implementations; Added unit tests for screenshot core, S3 integration, and pruning logic; Initialize RSpec test suite with Capybara and Aruba configuration.

The gemspec now specifies runtime dependencies on \launchy\ and version-flexible \capybara\ (supporting versions 1.x through 3.x based on Ruby version), while removing the hard dependency on \cucumber\. Development dependencies have been expanded to include \timecop\, \sinatra\, \test-unit\, \spinach\, \minitest\, and \aws-sdk-s3\, and the Gemfile adds \rack\, \rake\, \appraisal\, and \aruba\ to support testing matrices. Metadata such as license and documentation URIs are also added to the gemspec.
