How to use fill_in with find in Capybara (if possible)

Question

I\'d like to do the following but can\'t due to the nature of fill_in expecting a locator as the first argument.

find(:css, \"input[id$=\'donation_pledge_hun         


        

Answer 1

If you have a reference to the element itself you'd use set instead of fill_in:

find(:css, "input[id$='donation_pledge_hundreds']").set("10")

However for your specific example, fill_in should be able to find the element as you know it's ID:

fill_in 'donation_pledge_hundreds', with: "10"
