'select' fails when trying to target options that contain HTML escapable characters
Reported by Josh Nichols | September 11th, 2009 @ 12:14 PM
I was trying to do something like:
select("(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)", :from => "Time zone")
But it was always failing despite the existing and there being
an appropriate . After digging around, I discovered the problem was
here in
webrat/core/locators/select_option_locator.rb:24
Webrat::XML.inner_html(o.element) == @option_text.to_s
The left hand side of this equality check was returning "(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)" which != "(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)".
I'm able to get this working by doing:
select(html_escape("(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)"), :from => "Time zone")
However, this feels kinda nasty. Ideally, I shouldn't have to be HTML escaping the stuff I pass down into webrat.
