    This has been submitted for about a month now. Is there any reason its being ignored?

    • Tag changed from click_link to click_link, patch, pull, verify
    • State changed from “new” to “open”

    first branch looks good.

    2nd branch looks fine as well. The question is does it align with the api for the other modes.

    Hey Andew,

    Sorry for the delay. I do not want to expand the current click_link API to support more location strategies implicitly, but I'd like to support this with another API.

    Here's what I'm thinking:

    
    click_link link_with_css(".class_name")
    

    Not a huge fan of the duplication of "link" but that's the best I've got so far.

    Can you please open a ticket about adding a method to lookup a link by CSS if that's useful to you, so we can track it separately? Thanks.

    Cheers,

    -Bryan

    Couldn't you accept these patches and then decide to refactor the api afterwards? The patches do work, have been tested and are useful (been used in our current project for a while). In the meantime the new api doesn't exist yet. When you decide what this new api is I'm sure you can then refactor to get things just how you want them

    I can't see the case for not including the patch, although the prospect of reliable CSS selectors to do this sort of work are exciting, but it is leaving us all hanging a bit those of us who have had to fork webrat, and can't benefit from master changes without a load of grief keeping up to date could really use this patch.

    On what grounds are you not thinking of including this in the main distribution?

    Also it strikes me that link_with_css is a silly name, why not something like the following

    
    
    click_link 'Shopping Cart' # Behaves as it does presently
    
    click_link :class => 'shopping_cart'  # Class Selector `.shopping_cart`
    click_link :class => '.shopping_cart' # As Above.
    
    click_link :id => 'shopping_cart_1'  # ID Selector
    click_link :id => '#shopping_cart_1' # ID Selector
    
    click_link :href => '/cart/item/\d+' # Select anything that matches that pattern
    
    

    Just a thought, that is what my implementation went...

    One of the things we want to avoid is having to deprecate apis. Pulling in the patch as it is would require us to do so. Having a stable and standard api for webrat across all of the drivers and application frameworks has been a major goal for the last year.

    changed the milestone just for the tests. no problem changing it back if this is confusing.

    An excellent and very helpful forum! Thank you for sharing useful information! I also want to share something useful with you! You can try this out if you want to get rid of mistakes in the text, make it better and more professional. The tool specializes in active voice, and with the help of special algorithms it helps to find it and indicates errors in it. Also, the tool is able to independently generate an active voice and integrate it into the text. It is very simple and convenient, especially when there is no time to check.
