Testing

We use RSPEC for testing.
The integration test is done via capybara-webkit. In order to run the test inside features folder you need to run rspec prefixed by xvfb-run -a command.

• rspec spec/models and xvfb-run -a rspec spec/features
  or just:
• xvfb-run -a rspec to run all the tests in the same time.

💎 When running bundle install capybara-webkit gem will require some native extensions like Qt and others.
Follow the instruction given here if you encounter difficulty during installation: https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit.
