I am using Capybara to write test in my application, but now i have a situation in which i need to read id of an element within capybara like

myid = page.find("#parentNode").first(".childClass").id

Consider i have the below HTML structure

<div id="parentNode">
 <div id="childNode1" class="childClass">1</div>
 <div id="childNode2" class="childClass">2</div>
</div>

Please Note : I am not trying to read the content of the child node, but the id. The above shown is for example.

Expected Output : childNode1 (id of first element with class childClass

    You are almost near the answer. The only change is instead of calling id as method, you have to call it as attribute as follows

    page.find("#parentNode").first(".childClass")[:id]
