#196 awaiting-merge

LabelLocator misses Labels with nested Fields and no space seperating the two

Reported by Ben Woosley | March 13th, 2009 @ 10:16 PM

Currently, LabelLocator will detect the label here:

Label Text <any-field-tag>Field Text</any-field-text>

But not here:

Label Text<any-field-tag>Field Text</any-field-text>

Because inner_html pulls the text out like so:

"Label TextField Text"

I fix this by removing nested fields before attempting to match.

    Let's try this again:

    Currently, LabelLocator will detect the label here:

    <label>Label Text <any-field-tag>Field Text</any-field-text><label>

    But not here:

    <label>Label Text<any-field-tag>Field Text</any-field-text><label>

    A couple of problems with my changes, as they are:

    • It only removes first-level child fields, so it wouldn't catch: <label>Label Text<p><any-field-tag>Field Text</any-field-text><p><label>
    • The iteration and removal should be done with webrat/xml helpers for compatibility with rexml

    • State changed from “new” to “awaiting-merge”

    Good sized patch, needs to be further verified. But looks interesting.
