Browser testing for Ruby from within Windows Subsystem for Linux

This is a rough guide to setting up browser testing through Selenium on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), aka Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. It assumes the following environment:

  • Windows 10, running WSL
  • A Ruby dev environment, running inside WSL
  • Code that we want to test using a web driver, in this case Selenium, with a Capybara and RSpec test framework

The coding project folders are stored in the main Windows filing hierarchy and accessed via dev/mnt, but that makes no real difference to development and testing other than making it possible to edit the code using a GUI based editor within Windows.

The problem with browser testing in WSL is that it relies on opening and controlling a web browser, and browsers don’t work on WSL at present as it deliberately doesn’t include X Windows or some other GUI manager - it’s meant to be command line after all. So while you can apt-get firefox, trying to actually run it isn’t going to work.

PDFtk Server Install Workaround for Mac OS X

Installing PDFtk Server edittion on your Mac

This workaround install is necessary because PDFtk was pulled from homebrew-cask due to issues with it aggressively overwriting file permissions that could impact other installed libraries. See this homebrew-cask issue.
The following steps worked on Mac OS X 10.10.1 with a standard brew installation for the PDFtk Mac OS X server libary version 2.02.
All Terminal commands separated by a full line space. Some commands wrap into multiple lines.

Download and extract the Mac OS X server install pacakge
