[wtr-general] Re: Issue trying to click on a span element using safariwatir

The dot character in a regex (.) is a wildcard so you need to escape it.

That will probably not fix it as the regex dot will match the literal dot, so it should still work as-is.

Hi! Since you're already using a regex, could you do this: browser.span(:text, /butterfly/).click or do you have multiple spans with 'butterfly' in the text? If so, could you specify the one you want using it's index? browser.span(:text = /butterfly/, :index = 3).click Also, it might help to determine if this issue is limited to safariwatir or if it happens in other flavors of watir as well.
