The webrat API specifies this:
selects(option_text, options = {})
Verifies that a an option element exists on the current page with the
specified text. You can optionally restrict the search to a specific
select list by assigning options[:from] the value of the select lists
name or a label. Stores the options value to be sent when the form is
submitted.
Examples:
selects "January"
selects "February", :from => "event_month"
selects "February", :from => "Event Month"
But when I try to use something like:
And I select "CORP" from "Legal Form"
# features/step_definitions/webrat_steps.rb:16
This is what happens:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.choose (NoMethodError)
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/webrat-0.3.2/lib/webrat/core/scope.rb:91:in
`selects'
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/webrat-0.3.2/lib/webrat/rails.rb:88:in
`send'
So, checking out webrat.steps I see this:
When /^I select "(.*)" from "(.*)"$/ do |value, field|
selects(value, :from => field)
end
So, as far as I can make out, given the webrat API specifies that a label
is an acceptable target, this should work. But it evidently does not. Is
this a webrat problem then?
