Click on a piece of text in Cucumber / Capyabra

The step definition below lets you write:

CopyWhen I click on "Foo"

This is useful in Selenium features where the element you click on is not necessarily a link or button, but could be any HTML element with a Javascript event binding.

The easiest way to get this step is to use Spreewald Show archive.org snapshot . If you would like to add it manually, here is the step definition:

CopyWhen /^I click on "([^\"]+)"$/ do |text|
  matcher = ['*', { :text => text }]
  element = page.find(:css, *matcher)
  while better_match = element.first(:css, *matcher)
    element = better_match
  end
  element.click
end
