HTTP basic auth for Capybara

Question

I\'m writing some RSpec tests for my Rails 3 application and trying to switch from Webrat to Capybara. So far so good but the application uses HTTP basic auth to authorize m

Answer 1

I got it to work using page.driver.basic_authorize(name, password) instead

Update:

At the moment, after a Capybara upgrade, I'm using this pile of workarounds:

if page.driver.respond_to?(:basic_auth)
  page.driver.basic_auth(name, password)
elsif page.driver.respond_to?(:basic_authorize)
  page.driver.basic_authorize(name, password)
elsif page.driver.respond_to?(:browser) && page.driver.browser.respond_to?(:basic_authorize)
  page.driver.browser.basic_authorize(name, password)
else
  raise "I don't know how to log in!"
end
