I read through this and I don't quite get it. If I currently run my rspec capybara tests using chromedriver, how will I change that to xvfb ?

I see the examples like Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1600x1200x32 but I'm not sure how to integrate that into my actual UI feature specs.

This link explains Firefox browser testing with Capybara: Hope the below link give you an insight of the approach. http://elementalselenium.com/tips/38-headless

Installing xvfb: Example command : For Debian based systems:

apt-get install xvfb

Redhat based systems: yum install xorg-X11-server-Xvfb

Run the script: xvfb-run ruby headless.rb

Executing the script:

Option 1 Start Xvfb on a specific display port and background the process Tell the terminal session to use the display port Run the test Xvfb :99 & export DISPLAY=:99 ruby headless.rb

Option 2 Simply type the below command xvfb-run ruby headless.rb

Option 3

Install the headless gem Update the test setup and teardown to use it Run the test
