Rspec Target Font Awesome Icon Link

Question

Is there a way to have rspec click a specific font awesome icon? I'm very new to rspec so I apologize if this is a very basic question.

I tried click_link '.fa-envelope' but it seems like that is looking for the name of the link.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Here's the html of the link I'm trying to click:

  <div class="col-sm-4 align-center">
    <a class="email-link" href="/contact"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i></a>
  </div>

Answer 1

You also can use title attribute :

<div class="col-sm-4 align-center">
  <a class="email-link" href="/contact" title="Send email"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i></a>
</div>

Then in your feature spec you can write :

click_link 'Send email'

Hope this helped !

Answer 2

Assuming you use capybara so you can use finders instead:

find(".email-link").find(".fa-envelope").click
