Capybara Ambiguity Resolution

Question

How do I resolve ambiguity in Capybara? For some reason I need links with the same values in a page but I can\'t create a test since I get the error

NEW ANSWER:

You can try something like

all('a').select {|elt| elt.text == "#tag1" }.first.click

There may be a way to do this which makes better use of the available Capybara syntax -- something along the lines of all("a[text='#tag1']").first.click but I can't think of the correct syntax off hand and I can't find the appropriate documentation. That said it's a bit of a strange situation to begin with, having two tags with the same id, class, and text. Is there any chance they are children of different divs, since you could then do your find within the appropriate segment of the DOM. (It would help to see a bit of your HTML source).

OLD ANSWER: (where I thought '#tag1' meant the element had an id of "tag1")

Which of the links do you want to click on? If it's the first (or it doesn't matter), you can do

find('#tag1').click

Otherwise you can do

all('#tag1')[1].click

to click the second one.
