Find all elements on the page matching the given selector and options.
Both XPath and CSS expressions are supported, but Capybara does not try to automatically distinguish between them. The following statements are equivalent:
page.all(:css, 'a#person_123') page.all(:xpath, '//a[@id="person_123"]')
If the type of selector is left out, Capybara uses {Capybara.default_selector}. It's set to :css by default.
page.all("a#person_123") Capybara.default_selector = :xpath page.all('//a[@id="person_123"]')
The set of found elements can further be restricted by specifying options. It's possible to select elements by their text or visibility:
page.all('a', :text => 'Home') page.all('#menu li', :visible => true)
@overload all(, locator, options)
@param [:css, :xpath] kind The type of selector @param [String] locator The selector @option options [String, Regexp] text Only find elements which contain this text or match this regexp @option options [Boolean] visible Only find elements that are visible on the page. Setting this to false (the default, unless Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements = true), finds invisible _and_ visible elements.
@return [Array] The found elements
# File lib/capybara/node/finders.rb, line 110 def all(*args) query = Capybara::Query.new(*args) elements = synchronize do base.find(query.xpath).map do |node| Capybara::Node::Element.new(session, node, self, query) end end Capybara::Result.new(elements, query) end
Find an {Capybara::Element} based on the given arguments. find will raise an error if the element is not found.
If the driver is capable of executing JavaScript, find will wait for a set amount of time and continuously retry finding the element until either the element is found or the time expires. The length of time find will wait is controlled through {Capybara.default_wait_time} and defaults to 2 seconds.
find takes the same options as all.
page.find('#foo').find('.bar') page.find(:xpath, '//div[contains(., "bar")]') page.find('li', :text => 'Quox').click_link('Delete')
@param (see Capybara::Node::Finders#all) @return [Capybara::Element] The found element @raise [Capybara::ElementNotFound] If the element can't be found before time expires
# File lib/capybara/node/finders.rb, line 25 def find(*args) synchronize { all(*args).find! }.tap(&:allow_reload!) end
Find a element on the page, given its id.
@param [String] id Which element to find @return [Capybara::Element] The found element
# File lib/capybara/node/finders.rb, line 70 def find_by_id(id) find(:id, id) end
Find a form field on the page. The field can be found by its name, id or label text.
@param [String] locator Which field to find @return [Capybara::Element] The found element
# File lib/capybara/node/finders.rb, line 36 def find_field(locator) find(:field, locator) end
Find a link on the page. The link can be found by its id or text.
@param [String] locator Which link to find @return [Capybara::Element] The found element
# File lib/capybara/node/finders.rb, line 48 def find_link(locator) find(:link, locator) end
Find the first element on the page matching the given selector and options, or nil if no element matches.
@overload first(, locator, options)
@param [:css, :xpath] kind The type of selector @param [String] locator The selector @param [Hash] options Additional options; see {all}
@return [Capybara::Element] The found element or nil
# File lib/capybara/node/finders.rb, line 131 def first(*args) all(*args).first end
