How to access element using Watir and XPath

问题

I have some HTML that looks like this:

<h1 id="header">Header</h1>

I would like to click it using Watir and XPath.

回答1:

After watir-webdriver 0.5.1 selecting random element with an xpath was updated to:

browser.element(:xpath => "//h1[@id='header']").click

Also not XPath, but works:

Not using XPath, but it works:

browser.h1(:id, "header").click

Another example using xpath here:

browser.element xpath: "//div/cite[contains(.,'some text')]/ancestor::div[@class='rc']/h3/a"

Checkout this simple framework that I uploaded to Github: https://github.com/atfuentess/watir_cucumber_automation/

The stack used is: watir/cucumber/rspec

Perhaps it can help someone.
