Hello all.
Wondering if anyone else has solved this.
Some websites (including the intranet app I am working on) have a form in
the top corner of the site that is buttonless. If you focus on this form
enter text and hit enter, it submits. usually used for quick search boxes.
Question, has anyone managed to tie that into a cucumber feature?
Scenario: Using the quick search box
Given I am logged in
And I visit the home page
And there is someone called 'Bob Smith' to search for
When I put 'Bob Smith' into the quick search box
And I hit enter
Then I should be shown the search results page
And there should be 'Bob Smith' on the page
it's the 'And I hit enter' that is bugging me :)
Any ideas?
I've encountered the same problem. I generally try and pull the abstraction
up a bit a say something like:
When I submit a quick search for 'Bob Smith'
But here I'm assuming that its not really important to the customer how they
submit the form just that they can.
WDYT?
I agree with Matt. Unless it was really really really important to the
customer how the thing was submitted I wouldn't try to automate the
pressing of the enter button in the browser. I would more or less
just say what I was doing rather than how I was doing it. I might end
up with:
Given I'm a logged in user at the home page
And there is someone called 'Bob Smith' to earch for
When I do a quick search for 'Bob Smith'
Then I should see that 'Bob Smith' is found in the search results
If you're wondering how you submit the quick search (since it has no
button) then here's a suggestion that Ben Mabey gave me back in
September: use <noscript> tags to have a button on the page that
Webrat can submit, but that the browser won't render.
Here's a link to that comment:

And if you are using Selenium:
key_press :search, 13
