Error installing gem capybara-webkit

Question

I am new to ruby, but while trying to install capybara to run test on my system I get the following error. Im running OSX

my_app$ gem install capybara-webkit         


        

Answer 1

I was able to get qt and capybara-webkit installed and working on OS X. I had to install Xcode so the build for

gem install capybara-webkit

would finish.

I also set this in my environment

Capybara.javascript_driver = :webkit

brew install qt5 to get latest qt.

The docs for it say that it conflicts with qt4, so be sure to remove that first with

brew uninstall [old qt]

Then it needs to be symlinked with

brew link --force qt5

Answer 2

I've got error in my mac OS X 10.12, and this fixed the problem.

brew install qt5
brew link --force qt5
gem install capybara-webkit

Answer 3

QT was the answer for me, thougtbot provide a comprehensive installation options here:

https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit

Generally depending on where you have home brew, this worked for me:

brew update
brew install qt
gem install capybara-webkit

Answer 4

For Debian & Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install g++ qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x

Answer 6

For OSX, I had to

sudo gem install capybara-webkit -v '0.7.2'

without sudo it would error
