Setting longer HTTP timeout in capybara

Setting longer HTTP timeout in capybara

# We need this to fix the random timeout error that we were seeing in CI.

Capybara.register_driver :selenium_with_long_timeout do |app|
  client = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new
  client.timeout = 120
  Capybara::Driver::Selenium.new(app, :browser => :firefox, :http_client => client)
end

Capybara.javascript_driver = :selenium_with_long_timeout

Thanks for sharing this. Just came across this when I did a Google search on how to change seleniums default timout.

Same reason here.
Not sure, but also

Capybara.default_wait_time = 10

Using Capybara 1.0.0 or later, it is Capybara::Selenium::Driver not Capybara::Driver::Selenium.

See release notes ("Changed") for 1.0.0 at https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/blob/master/History.md

Also, Capybara.default_wait_time is how long Capybara waits for AJAX calls to modify the DOM when testing conditions and has nothing to do with Timeouts.

Note that a recent capybara change requires Capybara::Selenium::Driver instead of Capybara::Driver::Selenium

does this work the same with the capabilities syntax? where does read_timeout go now?

@epipheus I'm not sure. I've moved out of the Ruby ecosystem so can't confirm where it goes now. Sorry...
