Instance Method Details

#find_element(how, what) ⇒ Element #find_element(opts) ⇒ Element

Find the first element matching the given arguments

When using Element#find_element with :xpath, be aware that webdriver follows standard conventions: a search prefixed with “//” will search the entire document, not just the children of this current node. Use “.//” to limit your search to the children of the receiving Element.

Overloads:

  • #find_element(how, what) ⇒ Element

    Parameters:

    • how (Symbol, String) —

      The method to find the element by

    • what (String) —

      The locator to use

  • #find_element(opts) ⇒ Element

    Parameters:

    • opts (Hash) —

      Find options

    Options Hash (opts):

    • :how (Symbol) —

      Key named after the method to find the element by, containing the locator
