Users on web page don't distinguish between "button" and "link styled as button". Is there a way to add check whether a "button or link" is present on page?
For example Capybara has step:
page.should have_button('Click me')
which does not find links styled as buttons.
Updated answer (should matcher is deprecated in RSpec 3.0+):
expect(page).to have_selector(:link_or_button, 'Click me')
Before:
page.should have_selector(:link_or_button, 'Click me')
Followed from click_link_or_button
which is defined here: https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/blob/master/lib/capybara/node/actions.rb#L12
def click_link_or_button(locator)
find(:link_or_button, locator).click
end
alias_method :click_on, :click_link_or_button
It calls a selector :link_or_button
. This selector is defined here: https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/blob/master/lib/capybara/selector.rb#L143
Capybara.add_selector(:link_or_button) do
label "link or button"
xpath { |locator| XPath::HTML.link_or_button(locator) }
end
It calls this method: http://rdoc.info/github/jnicklas/xpath/XPath/HTML#link_or_button-instance_method
# File 'lib/xpath/html.rb', line 33
def link_or_button(locator)
link(locator) + button(locator)
end
So i tried to check the presence of the selector and it worked:
page.should have_selector(:link_or_button, 'Click me')
Using the expect syntax
expect(page).to have_selector(:link_or_button, 'Click me')
This works without needing to define a custom matcher.
