Sometimes you may need to debug Capybara tests by observing browser behavior.
#### Live debug
You can pause Capybara and view the website on the browser by using the
`live_debug`
method in your spec. The current page will be automatically opened
in your default browser.

Note:
`live_debug`
only works on javascript enabled specs.
#### Run `:js` spec in a visible browser
Run the spec with
`CHROME_HEADLESS=0`
, e.g.:
```
CHROME_HEADLESS=0 bundle exec rspec some_spec.rb
```
The test will go by quickly, but this will give you an idea of what's happening.
You can also add
`byebug`
or
`binding.pry`
to pause execution and step through
the test.
#### Screenshots
We use the
`capybara-screenshot`
gem to automatically take a screenshot on
failure. In CI you can download these files as job artifacts.
Also, you can manually take screenshots at any point in a test by adding the
methods below. Be sure to remove them when they are no longer needed! See
https://github.com/mattheworiordan/capybara-screenshot#manual-screenshots for
more.
Add
`screenshot_and_save_page`
in a
`:js`
spec to screenshot what Capybara
"sees", and save the page source.
Add
`screenshot_and_open_image`
in a
`:js`
spec to screenshot what Capybara
"sees", and automatically open the image.
### Fast unit tests
Some classes are well-isolated from Rails and you should be able to test them
