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)

@overload all([kind], locator, options)

  @param [:css, :xpath] kind                 The type of selector
  @param [String] locator                    The selector
  @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. Setting this to false
                                             (the default, unless Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements = true), finds
                                             invisible _and_ visible elements.

@return [Array[Capybara::Element]] The found elements

Alias for find_field

Find an {Capybara::Element} based on the given arguments. find will raise an error if the element is not found.

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) @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 button 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] id 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.

@overload first([kind], locator, options)

  @param [:css, :xpath] kind                 The type of selector
  @param [String] locator                    The selector
  @param [Hash] options                      Additional options; see {all}

@return [Capybara::Element] The found element or nil
