The Session class represents a single user's interaction with the system. The Session can use any of the underlying drivers. A session can be initialized manually like this:
session = Capybara::Session.new(:culerity, MyRackApp)
The application given as the second argument is optional. When running Capybara against an external page, you might want to leave it out:
session = Capybara::Session.new(:culerity)
session.visit('http://www.google.com')
When threadsafe is true
the sessions options will be initially set to the current values of the global options and a configuration block can be passed to the session initializer. For available options see Capybara::SessionConfig::OPTIONS:
session = Capybara::Session.new(:driver, MyRackApp) do |config|
config.app_host = "http://my_host.dev"
end
The Session provides a number of methods for controlling the navigation of the page, such as #visit, #current_path, and so on. It also delegates a number of methods to a Document, representing the current HTML document. This allows interaction:
session.fill_in('q', with: 'Capybara')
session.click_button('Search')
expect(session).to have_content('Capybara')
When using capybara/dsl
, the Session is initialized automatically for you.

Navigate to the given URL. The URL can either be a relative URL or an absolute URL The behaviour of either depends on the driver.

For drivers which can run against an external application, such as the selenium driver giving an absolute URL will navigate to that page. This allows testing applications running on remote servers. For these drivers, setting app_host will make the remote server the default. For example:
Capybara.app_host = 'http://google.com'
session.visit('/')
If always_include_port is set to true
and this session is running against a rack application, then the port that the rack application is running on will automatically be inserted into the URL. Supposing the app is running on port 4567
, doing something like:
visit("http://google.com/test")
Will actually navigate to http://google.com:4567/test

Just as with #find
, if multiple elements match the selector given to #within, an error will be raised, and just as with #find
, this behaviour can be controlled through the :match
and :exact
options.
It is possible to omit the first parameter, in that case, the selector is assumed to be of the type set in default_selector.
