Excellent! Thanks :)

Awesome!

Thanks for this great gist 👍

Great! 👍

Awesome, thanks! (FYI, this gist was used by LaunchAcademy here)

When i use find(<name_of_object>).click, I get following error
Unable to find css "" (Capybara::ElementNotFound)
Can someone please help?

@vishakhapanat Did you find a solution for your error?

To note, things like have_css, and have_xpath also have some optional arguments which help better querying. For instance have_css(".widget", maximum: 2)

👍 👍 👍

Hiii
I want to use xpath with select method in cucumber rails so how can i use xpath with select method?

How do you wait for page to load in webrat?

To match that select with label 'Country' have an option with text 'France' selected

expect(page).to have_select('Country', selected: 'France')

👍
