cannot load such file -- capybara-webkit (LoadError)

[autumn-hoerr]

Hey Ted,

This looks great. I got the following error when I was trying to get it setup:

cannot load such file -- capybara-webkit (LoadError)

Once I manually added capybara-webkit to my Gemfile everything worked okay. I see it's marked as a dependency in the gemspec, but it didn't seem to take in my case.

Nevermind, reading all of the documentation is probably a good idea. You might want to make it clearer on http://intridea.github.com/green_onion/ that if you want to use capybara-webkit you do have to manually include it as you mention on https://github.com/intridea/green_onion

Hey Dan!

Yeah, at one point before flexible browser configuration, capybara-webkit was a dependency, but now you can use any of the drivers specified (as well as creating your own). I think I may need to make this more clear, so I'm going to reopen this issue. I've kept Capybara as a dependency, but someone could easily use WATIR if they wanted to as well.

Let me know what you think about the gem, and how it works for you!

Hi, awesome tool, thank you very much for creating this!

I just installed the latest gem version (0.1.4) and it still required capybara-webkit. I read the latest source on github and saw that poltergeist is now also supported. Would it be possible to release an updated gem with that very useful change? Once you're at it, I'd suggest making poltergeist the default driver since PhantomJS is 1000 times easier to install than Webkit/QT and works just as well.

I'm also a little confused that you have different drivers at all. Since you're going through Capybara, shouldn't that abstract the driver for you, and green onion just use whatever driver is configured for Capybara?

Thanks for the input! That might be a good idea about using poltergeist as the default. Along with the easy configuration, it is a bit faster in the benchmarks as well. I'll look more into it after the holiday. I'll also accept a pull request for that change to the defaults. ;) For now, you'll have to install the poltergeist gem manually, if you decide to use it.

The drivers are fully configurable, just in case someone wants to use WATIR or another browser automation tool instead of Capybara.

Please let me know how you might be using GreenOnion, and feel free to add more suggestions to the issues.

From my phone. Please forgive any typos.
