< select class="select_xpath_class" name="myMethods[select_method_id_23749837]" id="select_method_id_23749837"> Please select... Select1 Select2 Select3 </select>
Capybara method of select won't work:
page.select("Select1", :from => "select_method_id")
This is because it will only find the exact match of the id.
To solve this we can use the find method directly with xpath:
find(:xpath, "//*[contains(@id, 'select_method_id')]").select("Select1")
I couldn't get this solution to work but this is how I solved it (this was one of the first hits on google so I thought I'd help some other poor soul)
ReplyDeletepage.select("Select1", :from => find('select[id^="select_method_id"]')[:id])
I'm just getting started with cucumber so original solution might be better if you can get it working otherwise try this.
