a helper to assit in integration testing (rspec / capybara) wysihtml5 text editors.

wysihtml5_helper.rb

module Wysihtml5Helper
  def fill_in_wysihtml5(text)
    #js must be enabled
    page.execute_script("editor.setValue('#{text}')")
  end
end

This only selects the last editor on the page right? What about if there were multiple editors?

@dannio you can use the following in order to access the editor of a specific element:

var editor = $('#some-textarea').data("wysihtml5").editor;
editor.getValue();
editor.setValue('Test');

You are my hero. Was going nuts trying to interact with this in Capybara.

Getting
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: editor

Assuming it's not instantiated yet, though it certainly should be...

(Thanks to @zedtux) if you got ReferenceError: Can't find variable: editor, you can try this:

page.evaluate_script %{(function() {
  var editor = $('.test-textarea').data("wysihtml5").editor;
  editor.getValue();
  editor.setValue('A text');
})()}
