I’m sure we’ll cross paths. Liked your talk tonight at Ignite too!

BTW, I got it to work with Capybara (0.4.0) with WebDriver (0.1.0) like this:

find_field(field).native.value =~ /^#{value}$/

It seems it is more complicated to do it outside of a browser test…

Ganesh, I tried using your Capybara snippet of this and get the following error:

undefined method ‘xpath’ for # (NoMethodError)

Which version of Capybara are you using? I am using 0.4.0 with selenium-webdriver version 0.1.0.

Thanks man, you really made my day! I had been googling around for this for quite a while.

It is always good when one of my friends tells me I have spinach in my teeth, and I would always do the same for them!

Thanks! I’ll try this ASAP. A first experiment seems to work without side effects. -Jens

Jen, try this tweak:

ObjectSpace.each_object(Order) {|o| parent_order = o if o.new_record? && o.line_items.include?(self)}
