Select box with Webrat

Testing RSpec
1

I have a select box:

– Select Topic – Pollution

I would like to select the pollution option from the list using
webrat.

I’ve tried:

select “Pollution”, :from => “temp_aspect[topic_id]”
select “Pollution”

In both cases I receive the error:

The ‘Pollution’ option was not found

Any suggestions much appreciated,

Mike

I’ve tried:

select “Pollution”, :from => “temp_aspect[topic_id]”
select “Pollution”

you should select by the id attribute, not the name attribute, so:

select “Pollution”, :from => “temp_aspect_topic_id”

should work

Thanks for the response. I think I tried that one, still get the
response:

The ‘Pollution’ option was not found in the “temp_aspect_topic_id”
select box (Webrat::NotFoundError)

Any more thought?

Do you only have one select box on the page with that id (hidden or
showing, maybe new and/or edit forms) ?
