Question

Currently I have two tests that each individually test for a button_click within a form on the same page with no ids but both have the same text Go. So what is happens is capybara/rspec only tests the first instance of the Go button for both tests. Is there a way to find something based on the parents? I don’t want to have to modify my functional code by adding an id just for the sole purpose of testing. I was thinking of something like test_form > input[type='submit'] but that doesn’t work.

Current code:

let(:submit) {"Go"}

describe "with valid information" do
  before do
    fill_in "email",        with: "[e-mail]"
    fill_in "password",     with: "stuff"
  end

  it "should create a user" do
    expect {click_button submit}.to change(User, :count).by(1)
  end
end

Current Gems:

rails 3.2.6
rspec-rails 2.10.1
capybara 1.1.2

You can specify within which selector you want your button, see doc
