 ## Gotchas
 
-### Phantom.JS (used by Teaspoon & Rspec) chokes, returning vague JavaScript errors
-
-If you see very generic JavaScript errors (e.g. `jQuery is undefined`) being thrown in tests, but
-can't reproduce them manually, you may have included `ES6`-style JavaScript in files that don't
-have the `.js.es6` file extension. Either use ES5-friendly JavaScript or rename the file you're
-working in (`git mv <file.js> <file.js.es6>`). 
-
-Similar errors will be thrown if you're using 
-any of the [array methods introduced in ES6](http://www.2ality.com/2014/05/es6-array-methods.html)
-whether or not you've updated the file extension.
+### Spec errors due to use of ES6 features in `.js` files
+
+If you see very generic JavaScript errors (e.g. `jQuery is undefined`) being 
+thrown in Teaspoon, Spinach, or Rspec tests but can't reproduce them manually, 
+you may have included `ES6`-style JavaScript in files that don't have the 
+`.js.es6` file extension. Either use ES5-friendly JavaScript or rename the file 
+you're working in (`git mv <file.js> <file.js.es6>`). 
+
+### Spec errors due to use of unsupported JavaScript
+
+Similar errors will be thrown if you're using JavaScript features not yet 
+supported by our test runner's version of webkit, whether or not you've updated
+the file extension. Examples of unsupported JavaScript features are:
+
+- Array.from
+- Array.find
+- Array.first
+- Object.assign
+- Async functions
+- Generators
+- Array destructuring
+- For Of
+- Symbol/Symbol.iterator
+- Spread
+
+Until these are polyfilled or transpiled appropriately, they should not be used. 
+Please update this list with additional unsupported features or when any of 
+these are made usable.
+
+### Spec errors due to JavaScript not enabled
+
+If, as a result of a change you've made, a feature now depends on JavaScript to 
+run correctly, you need to make sure a JavaScript web driver is enabled when
+specs are run. If you don't you'll see vague error messages from the spec 
+runner, and an explosion of vague console errors in the HTML snapshot. 
+
+To enable a JavaScript driver in an `rspec` test, add `js: true` to the 
+individual spec or the context block containing multiple specs that need 
+JavaScript enabled: 
+
+```ruby
+
+# For one spec
+it 'presents information about abuse report', js: true do
+    # assertions...
+end
+
+describe "Admin::AbuseReports", js: true do
+   it 'presents information about abuse report' do
+        # assertions...
+    end
+   it 'shows buttons for adding to abuse report' do
+        # assertions...
+    end
+end
+```
 
+In Spinach, the JavaScript driver is enabled differently. In the `*.feature` 
+file for the failing spec, add the `@javascript` flag above the Scenario: 
 
+```
+@javascript
+Scenario: Developer can approve merge request
+    Given I am a "Shop" developer
+    And I visit project "Shop" merge requests page
+    And merge request 'Bug NS-04' must be approved
+    And I click link "Bug NS-04"
+    When I click link "Approve"
+    Then I should see approved merge request "Bug NS-04"
 
+```
