BTW, I got it to work with Capybara (0.4.0) with WebDriver (0.1.0) like this:

find_field(field).native.value =~ /^#{value}$/

It seems it is more complicated to do it outside of a browser test…

Ganesh, I tried using your Capybara snippet of this and get the following error:

undefined method ‘xpath’ for # (NoMethodError)

Which version of Capybara are you using? I am using 0.4.0 with selenium-webdriver version 0.1.0.

Thanks! I’ll try this ASAP. A first experiment seems to work without side effects. -Jens

Jen, try this tweak:

ObjectSpace.each_object(Order) {|o| parent_order = o if o.new_record? && o.line_items.include?(self)}

Thanks for the tip. I suggest that you use the following regex to insure that you don’t get false positives:

/^#{value}$/

e.g. Without the anchors, if the selected value is “Mrs” and I expect “Mr”, it will still match and return a false positive result.

Hi,

your method works, but it triggers hundreds (in my case) of superfluous SQL requests due to the “.include?” statement like “SELECT child.id FROM children WHERE (child.id = NULL) AND (child.parent_id = xxx)”.

Is there a way to avoid these requests?

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I’m actually using Capybara so I had to rework your step to get it to work. For those other Capybara users out there… this is what you need:

Then /^”([^"]*)” should be selected for “([^"]*)”$/ do |value, field|
find_field(field).node.xpath(“.//option[@selected = 'selected']“).inner_html.should =~ /#{value}/
end

Cheers,
Ganesh
