May be semantics, but you mentioned clicking on a link to call a button, which
could be a problem if the element truly is a link. If it's a link then you
should try to access it that way:
book_rows.a(value: /view/i).click.
There might be more than one table with that id:
@browser.tables(id: /academic/i).length
Not sure if this'll help or not but you can try something like it with your
table object and maybe it'll help you see what's going on:
table.trs.to_a.each_with_index do |tr, idx| puts
"---------------------------------" puts "INDEX:\t#{idx}" puts
"TEXT\t#{tr.text}" puts "BUTTONS\t#{tr.buttons.length}" puts
"BVALS:\t'#{tr.buttons.map(&:value).map(&:value).join(', ')}'" puts
"LINKS\t#{tr.as.length}" puts
"LVALS:\t'#{tr.as.map(&:text).map(&:value).join(', ')}'"end
