Installing QT5 on Travis-CI to use Capybara Webkit with React Components
Because this took me so long to figure out, I'm posting it. On some capybara feature tests, my react components would not render (on Travis).
Eventually I figured out that this was because I was missing qt5 on Travis (Ubuntu 12.04)
Anyhow, after about 3 HOURS of tinkering, this is what works. The main thing to remember is you have to put dist: trusty in your config.
# put this in your .travis.yml near the top
dist: trusty
# and this in the before_install options.
# The QMAKE line is required to get capybara-webkit to work with qt5
before_install:
- sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
- sudo apt-get update -qq
- sudo apt-get install -qq libqt5webkit5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev
- export QMAKE=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake
