# copy and paste this into your terminal to start an IRB session and use Capybara's DSL to write tests interactively

# I prefer using chrome...
# First you need to install the chromedriver https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

# Unzip, and move the executable somewhere in your path... 
# e.g.
mv ~/Downloads/chromedriver /usr/local/bin

irb
require 'capybara/dsl'
include Capybara::DSL

#register the chrome driver
Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome)
end

Capybara.default_driver = :chrome
