Capybara::Node::Base

A {Capybara::Node::Base} represents either an element on a page through the subclass {Capybara::Node::Element} or a document through {Capybara::Node::Document}.

Both types of Node share the same methods, used for interacting with the elements on the page. These methods are divided into three categories, finders, actions and matchers. These are found in the modules {Capybara::Node::Finders}, {Capybara::Node::Actions} and {Capybara::Node::Matchers} respectively.

A {Capybara::Session} exposes all methods from {Capybara::Node::Document} directly:

session = Capybara::Session.new(:rack_test, my_app)
session.visit('/')
session.fill_in('Foo', :with => 'Bar')    # from Capybara::Node::Actions
bar = session.find('#bar')                # from Capybara::Node::Finders
bar.select('Baz', :from => 'Quox')        # from Capybara::Node::Actions
session.has_css?('#foobar')               # from Capybara::Node::Matchers
