Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets

Problem

You are trying to bundle install a Gemfile that includes the capybara-webkit gem, in an Ubuntu system but you get the following error:

ERROR:  Error installing capybara-webkit:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets

Solution

It seems that the latest ubuntu versions are using QT version 5 instead of 4. So in order to be able to install the gem you would need to install the qt development libraries for version 5 like:

sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev

minitest assert_routing with method included in path

Problem

When trying to use the minitest assert_routing with the first parameter representing the path as a hash that includes both the path and the method, and run the tests rails complains about SyntaxErrors.

When trying to use it as suggested in the ‘Rails 4 Test Prescriptions’ Pragmatic Programmers book (p. 172 – Minitest and Routing) which is:

assert_routing({ path: "/projects", method: "post" }, 
controller: "projects", action: "create")

the error is:

SyntaxError: 
/.../test/controllers/projects_controller_test.rb:12: 
syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'
... '/projects', method: 'post' },  controller: 'projects', act...

even when trying to have the second parameter as a hash:

assert_routing({ path: "/projects", method: "post" }, 
{ controller: "projects", action: "create" })

the error is similar:

SyntaxError: 
/.../test/controllers/projects_controller_test.rb:12:
 syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'
... '/projects', method: 'post' }, 
{ controller: 'projects', ac...

Solution

Seems that you need to pass the parameters enclosed in brackets, so the following would work:

assert_routing  ({ path: '/projects', method: 'post' }), 
({ controller: 'projects', action: 'create' })
