Selenium wasn't playing very nice with lightboxes during one of my tests, it just said it wasn't visible! Thanks! That helps all you have to do is wait silly:
When I wait until I can see "new_category"
And the step definition:
When /^I wait until I can see "([^"]*)"$/ do |selector|
page.has_css?("#{selector}", :visible => true)
end
Checking for a selected option within Cucumber/Capaybara is quite simple:
Then "hello" should be selected for "article_category_id"
And the step definition:
Then /^"([^"]*)" should be selected for "([^"]*)"$/ do |value, field|
assert page.has_xpath?("//option[@selected = 'selected' and contains(string(), '#{value}')]")
end
You could easily extrapolate this for use within an unselected value, just by removing the selected bit:
Then /^"([^"]*)" should be seen within "([^"]*)"$/ do |value, field|
assert page.has_xpath?("//option[contains(string(), '#{value}')]")
end
