How to click on the second link with the same text using Capybara in Rails 3?

Question

In a view file I have:

= link_to \'View\', post
= link_to \'View\', comment

In a spec file (I\'m using Capybara):

click_on          


        

Answer 1

There's probably a few ways but I usually scope something like this.

within(".comment") do
  click_on("View")
end

There's quite possibly/probably alternatives as well. I usually do my acceptance testing from cucumber, so my steps typically look like

When I follow "View" within the comment element

Where I have a step that translates within the comment element to a scoped call to the step itself (which I think is built into the latest capybara web_steps)
