Websickle -> Webrat

Open miah opened this issue 12 years ago • 2 comments

"I’d like to remove WebSickle and replace it with Webrat. There is a webrat branch on the main fork (github.com/dbrady/tourbus) that is 90% complete. Once that’s done we can start massaging the API to be a little more friendly. [done (but now that it is, it needs a refactoring–Tour should probably inherit from Webrat::Mechanize, not delegate to it.)]"

This is a good example of how fast the ruby ecosystem moves. Webrat was the new hotness 3 years ago; now it may be the legacy bustedness. We should also look at capybara-webkit and any other potential newer replacements, and/or see if any javascript-capable options are out there.

I too would recommend capy-webkit. It's fast, works well headless, and would handle JS. @miah this is what our test suite uses, so that may (or may not ;-) help.
