Choose by clicking label if input is hidden

[lpender]

Hi!

I'm trying to choose a hidden radio input by it's label with Capybara Webkit, but I'm getting Capybara::Webkit::ClickFailed: Failed to find position for element ... because it is not visible.

Here is a simple case for reproduction:

  <form>
    <input id="one" type="radio" name="form"/>
    <label for="one">Click me!</label>
    <input id="two" type="radio" name="form"/>
    <label for="two">Click me!</label>
  </form>

  <style>
    input {
      display: none;
    }
    input:checked + label {
      color:blue;
    }
  </style>

The spec would have a line something like:

choose 'one'

Would be great to get this working! No issues with vanilla Capybara.

Thanks!

Hey @lpender. There are a couple of things going on here. choose 'one' will still try to click the button. Providing the label text is an alternative, but in this case it's duplicated, and ultimately this will still end up with a click on the button itself. Instead, you can click on the label. In your case, find('label[for=two]').click will choose the hidden button.

@mhoran A giant thank you for this sir! Wasted so much time before I finally found this.
