Kind of a strange one, but in my views I have a tick (✔) and a cross (×) used as links (in lieu of images). Is there any way of finding these elements and testing them using RSpec and Capybara-webkit, or should I try and target say the title attribute instead and ignore this route?
My test in question looks like this:
context "casting a vote", js: true do
before do
sign_in user
click_link '✔'
sleep 0.2
end
it { should have_content("Vote cast!") }
end
The failure message I get is (predictably):
Failure/Error: click_link "raw('✔')"
Capybara::ElementNotFound:
Unable to find link "raw('✔')"
Thanks in advance for your help.
Capybara doesn't see the HTML, it runs thru the DOM, which then sees the actual values those things encode. You must send the raw code as a UTF-{8,16} string containing the code point itself.
Most languages would present an HTML
'✔'
as"\u10004"
, so try that.
