Versatile Cucumber step regarding hovering above elements
Here's a pretty useful steps that hasn't made it into Spreewald yet.
It is best used with the auto-mapper for BEM classes in features/support/selectors.rb
When I hover above [selector] element
When /^I hover above (.*) element$/ do |selector|
page.find(selector_for(selector)).hover
end
Example:
When I hover above the album's image element
→ triggers a hover event on .album--image
