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)
@param [:css, :xpath, String] kind_or_locator Either the kind of selector or the selector itself @param [String] locator The selector @param [Hash{Symbol => Object}] options Additional options @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 @return [Capybara::Element] The found elements
Find an {Capybara::Element} based on the given arguments. find will raise an error if the element is not found. The error message can be customized through the +:message+ option.
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) @option options [String] :message An error message in case the element can‘t be found @return [Capybara::Element] The found element @raise [Capybara::ElementNotFound] If the element can‘t be found before time expires
Find a button on the page. The link can be found by its id, name or value.
@param [String] locator Which button to find @return [Capybara::Element] The found element
Find a element on the page, given its id.
@param [String] locator Which element to find @return [Capybara::Element] The found element
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
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
Find the first element on the page matching the given selector and options, or nil if no element matches.
When only the first matching element is needed, this method can be faster than all(*args).first.
@param [:css, :xpath, String] kind_or_locator Either the kind of selector or the selector itself @param [String] locator The selector @param [Hash{Symbol => Object}] options Additional options; see {all} @return Capybara::Element The found element
