[PATCH] Link#matches_text?() use @element.text

Reported by MOROHASHI Kyosuke | November 17th, 2008 @ 03:25 AM

Hi. Thanx for good library.
I start to use webrat with Cucumber onto my rails project.

I mainly speak Japanese and I have a trouble that Webrat::Link.matches_text?() do'nt recognize Japanese anchor text.

So I wrote a patche to use @element.text that decodes character reference in @element.inner_html.

And I think it's better to be replace,
AS IS

  • Webrat::Link#text uses @element.inner_html

TO BE

  • Webrat::Link#text uses @element.text
  • Webrat::Link#inner_html uses @element.inner_html
  • Webrat::Link#matches_text? users both text and inner_html

How do you think? If I get your agree, I'd like to write another patch.

    Thanks for the patch. I agree with your suggestion. I'll set this ticket to "awaiting patch" for now.

    I'm wondering if Link#matches_text? should use inner_html at all, or simply look at the decoded text only. Making that switch would mean another approach is needed to click an image link, for example. Will spend some time thinking about that more over the next couple days. We can worry about that later though.

    Cheers,

    -Bryan
