Installing capybara-webkit for Ruby on Rails

Here is quick fix that I implemented to solve my problem:

Step 1 : Head over to https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit

Step 2 : Download a zip or clone the repo to your local from the master branch.

Step 3 : Open your Gemfile and update the gem configs as follows

gem "capybara-webkit", path: 'Path-To-The-Plugin-In-Your-Local-Machine\capybara-webkit-master'

Step 4 : Try running the bundle install and see if works. That's it.

error installing capybara-webkit. Can not compile

It looks like you're using gcc, which has trouble compiling some of Apple's newer frameworks.

If your CC or CXX environment variables are set, make sure they're set to cc and c++ and not something like gcc and g++.

Unable to install capybara-webkit

I had to install QT link as capybara-webkit gem uses it to compile and install.

Not able to install capybara-webkit using bundle install command in Rails 4

Installation instructions are in the capybara-webkit wiki - https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit . You'll want to install Qt 5.5.1 (5.6 is only supported if you build the QtWebKit module separately)

Error while building native extensions for capybara-webkit

I found a solution here :
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-27237

Following this specific workaround make it work on my computer.

It seems to be a bug specific to version 4.8.3, where rcc.exe path is not found correctly.

Also, you might encounter the same error as me after this:
It turns out qmake compiled the webkit server into \capybara-webkit-0.12.1\src\release.
And capybara-webkit builder expect to get this exe from the "debug" folder, see line 57 of capybara_webkit_builder.rb

I forked the git repository and change this source file to rely on "release" folder instead and it works!

Still, it took me 2 pretty bad workarounds to make it work... Maybe the installation is more straightforward using QT 4.7.X as recommended into the capybara-webkit installation procedure.
I should test it.
