So, I want to test clicking a link in a table and found this handy
example by Aslak:
http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber_rails/tree/master/features/step_definitions/lorry_steps.rb
When /^I delete the (\d+)(?:st|nd|rd|th) lorry$/ do |pos|
visit lorries_url
within("table > tr:nth-child(#{pos.to_i+1})") do
click_link "Destroy"
end
end
What if I wanted to destroy the lorry with "name 3" instead of the 3rd
lorry? I looked up ''within'' in the Webrat docs
http://gitrdoc.com/brynary/webrat/tree/master/ but there was no
description and the source is a bit mysterious.
Could someone describe what "table > tr:nth-child(#{pos.to_i+1})"
does?
by semantic pattern matching I could guess that "ol >
li:nth-child(#{pos.to_i+1})" would also work, but it would be nifty to
know why.
Thanks,
Sarah
