#rails

πŸ‘ Way1:

Capybara::Node::Actions#check is easy and similar way with Capybara::Node::Actions#fill_in for the textbox.

example.

 # will check a descendant checkbox with a name, id, or label text matching 'German' page.check('German') # will check `el` if it's a checkbox element el.check()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

πŸ‘ Way2: Workaround

But, when somehow it doesn't work, try to find the pair label, and click it. It should be work because a checkbox is usually pair with label.

 <input type="checkbox" value="1" name="workaround[item_id]" class="workaround" id="workaround_1">
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
 find("label[for='workaround_1']").click
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
