What is a common testing anti-pattern that Capybara's automatic waiting is specifically meant to help avoid?
What is a Capybara "driver," and what role does it play in how tests actually execute?
What does a typical Capybara feature test for a login flow conceptually verify, from start to finish?
What is a realistic tradeoff to weigh when deciding how much of a test suite should consist of full Capybara feature tests versus narrower unit/controller tests?
Why does Capybara's design philosophy emphasize interacting with the page the way a real user would (e.g. finding a button by its visible text) rather than relying heavily on implementation details like CSS class names or element IDs?
What is a common integration between Capybara and the Ruby on Rails testing ecosystem, particularly RSpec?
What is a "headless" browser (like headless Chrome, commonly used with a driver such as Cuprite or Selenium's headless mode) in the context of running Capybara tests, and why is it commonly used in CI?
What do Capybara methods like `click_button`, `fill_in`, and `click_link` collectively enable a test to do?
What is Capybara?
When might a test need to switch to a JavaScript-capable driver (like Selenium or a headless Chrome-based driver) instead of Capybara's default Rack::Test driver?
What does Capybara's automatic "waiting" behavior (built into finder methods like `find` or assertions like `have_content`) address?
What is a general principle Capybara's design illustrates about balancing test realism against test speed/complexity in browser-based testing generally?
