I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and I need to get rspec and capybara working with QT5. I have installed QT5. but when I run rspec/feature/whatever_test get this warning:

WARNING: The next major version of capybara-webkit will require at least version 5.0 of Qt. You're using version 4.8.6.

However:

~ % TDIR=/usr/share/qtX qmake --version
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.2.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

~ % qtchooser -l
4
5
default
qt4-i386-linux-gnu
qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt4
qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt5

I have tried the qtchooser -qt=qt5 does not change anything. How can I switch to qt5, and have capybara use it?

thanks guys

So after installing qt5, you can verify by commands above. I had to uninstall capybara-webkit gem uninstall capybara-webkit. Upon reinstalling I got this mess: 

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    /home/chris/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/bin/ruby -r ./siteconf20151007-20641-1jdvtt5.rb extconf.rb

key here was: Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets

see this

What you need to do is run sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev then bundle install or gem install capybara-webkit.

Capybara doesn't use qt, the capybara-WebKit driver does. You need to uninstall and rebuild capybara-webkit

  • Hey thanks for the response, any ideas how to do that. I just Uninstalled and now it's throwing all kinda of errors, when I try to reinstall. – ChrisCPO Oct 07 '15 at 17:32
  • hmmm -- https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit - actually states that it won't build with qt5 on 14.04 - not sure if that is current or out of date – Thomas Walpole Oct 07 '15 at 17:39
