click_button doesn't click the button element in Selenium mode

Reported by Josh Clayton | April 29th, 2009 @ 10:43 AM

It looks like the button.js locator only looks for input[type=submit|image]. It seems like it would also match if a button[type=submit] is on the page.

    • Tag changed from click_button, enhancement, featurerequest, selenium to click_button, enhancement, featurerequest, selenium, stale, verify

    Josh/ncancelliere, It would help quite a bit if you could include some broken and working html and test code. As it is I'm not really sure what the specific issue is or how to test for it. Thanks for the input!

    Within the view:

    
    <!-- new.erb -->
    <% form_for :customer do |form| %>
      <%= form.label :name %>
      <%= form.text_field :name %>
      <button type="submit">Create</button>
    <% end %>
    
    
    # feature
      Scenario: Customer is created with valid data
        Given no customer exists with a name of "My New Customer"
        When I go to the new customer page
        And I fill in "Name" with "My New Customer"
        And I press "Create"
        Then I should see "Successfully created!"
    

    This fails for Selenium because it cannot find the 'Create' button. The JS associated with this issue is located at WEBRAT_ROOT/lib/webrat/selenium/location_strategy_javascript/button.js; this JS only finds input element with a type attribute of submit or image; it should also match on the button element.

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

    if you go into spec/integration/rails, you can run the selenium test task. Not all things pass, but that is where you would add a test.

    Need to verify patch

    I believe #254 fixes this. If not please message and we'll re-open.
