Class Method Details

.add_selector(name) { ... } ⇒ Object

Add a new selector to Capybara. Selectors can be used by various methods in Capybara to find certain elements on the page in a more convenient way. For example adding a selector to find certain table rows might look like this:

Capybara.add_selector(:row) do
  xpath { |num| ".//tbody/tr[#{num}]" }
end

This makes it possible to use this selector in a variety of ways:

find(:row, 3)
page.find('table#myTable').find(:row, 3).text
page.find('table#myTable').has_selector?(:row, 3)
within(:row, 3) { expect(page).to have_content('$100.000') }

Here is another example:

Capybara.add_selector(:id) do
  xpath { |id| XPath.descendant[XPath.attr(:id) == id.to_s] }
end

Note that this particular selector already ships with Capybara.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The name of the selector to add

Yields:

  • A block executed in the context of the new Selector

.string(html) ⇒ Capybara::Node::Simple

Wraps the given string, which should contain an HTML document or fragment in a Capybara::Node::Simple which exposes all Capybara::Node::Matchers, Capybara::Node::Finders and Capybara::Node::DocumentMatchers. This allows you to query any string containing HTML in the exact same way you would query the current document in a Capybara session.

Example: A single element

node = Capybara.string('<a href="foo">bar</a>')
anchor = node.first('a')
anchor[:href] #=> 'foo'
anchor.text #=> 'bar'

Example: Multiple elements

node = Capybara.string <<-HTML
  <ul>
    <li id="home">Home</li>
    <li id="projects">Projects</li>
  </ul>
HTML

node.find('#projects').text # => 'Projects'
node.has_selector?('li#home', text: 'Home')
node.has_selector?('#projects')
node.find('ul').find('li:first-child').text # => 'Home'

Parameters:

  • html (String) —

    An html fragment or document
