How to simulate sharing geolocation with Capybara?

My scenario calls for user giving permission for the app to user his location. This dialog looks different in every browser. How do I go about testing it with Capybara?

So, I liked the page.execute_script version above... however I discovered this didn't work with turbolinks.

After much Googling I came up with this as an alternative:

page
  .driver
  .browser
  .execute_cdp(
    'Page.setGeolocationOverride',
    accuracy: 100,
    latitude: latitude.to_f,
    longitude: longitude.to_f
  )

I'm not a big fan of this solution since it's accessing part of their "private api" which of course they recommend against... but it works for now.

UPDATE: At present this works for the selenium_chrome driver, but not selenium_chrome_headless... back to the drawing board.

I've successfully used this in a Cucumber step definition:

page.execute_script "navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition = function(success) { success({coords: {latitude: 50.455755, longitude: 30.511565}}); }"

I would mock/stub it if I needed it for the test suite flow and didn't want to call the API. Unfortunately, with all goodnes of the automatic testing there are still a few % that need to be done manually. At least that I what I learned from my experience.
