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

Failure/         


        

Answer 1

As considering all the above options, you can try this too

find("a", text: text, match: :prefer_exact).click

If you are using cucumber, you can follow this too

You can pass the text as a parameter from the scenario steps which can be generic step to reuse again

Something like When a user clicks on "text" link

And in step definition When(/^(?:user) clicks on "([^"]*)" (?:link)$/) do |text|

This way, you can reuse the same step by minimizing the lines of code and would be easy to write new cucumber scenarios
