SideToCapybara

side2capybara translates a Selenium .side file into executable capybara tests. It is by no way meant to write the final system tests for you but take it as a good starting point.

If you do this:

side2capybara path/to/saved/*.side

you may get that:

test 'checkout' do
  visit('/')

  # css: .tile:nth-child(4)
  # xpath: //a[contains(@href, '/products/P23A-S_FW1819')]
  # xpath: //a[4]
  find('.tile:nth-child(4)').click

  # linkText: Buy now
  # css: .buy
  # xpath: //a[contains(text(),'Buy now')]
  # xpath: //form[@id='new_product_item']/div/a
  # xpath: //a[contains(@href, '#')]
  # xpath: //form/div/a
  click_on('Buy now')

  # css: tr:nth-child(11) > td:nth-child(3)
  # xpath: //form[@id='new_order']/div/div[3]/div/table/tbody/tr[11]/td[3]
  # xpath: //tr[11]/td[3]
  assert_selector('tr:nth-child(11) > td:nth-child(3)', text: '123.45 €')
end

Translation contribution

The translations for minitest are currently placed in lib/side_to_capybara/minitest.rb. Feel free to add more or update the existing translations. To add a new translation open the .side file in your favourite text editor. It's a JSON file. Search for the command you want to add and define a new method with the name of the command in minitest.rb. For a more detailed description of how to add a new command translation please look at the minitest.rb file.
