env.rb for running Capybara for non-rails/rack apps.

env.rb

require 'capybara'
require 'capybara/dsl'

Capybara.current_driver = :selenium
Capybara.app_host = 'localhost:3000'
Capybara.default_selector = :css

include Capybara::DSL

Thanks for this. I want to use IE8 but the above will invoke Firefox. Hw can ypu specify which browser to use for the tests?

FYI for IE,
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :ie)
end

That works only for rack based apps. When I try to use the above I get errors as the application under test isn't ruby based.

I don't have any rack based specification in the configuration. The above was used to test java based web app. Indeed it can be used against any web app to launch IE.
