Checking HTML select values with Geb test

I'm trying to verify the contents of a select box with Geb. I have a solution that works but I feel like there should be a cleaner solution. Some things I've tried don't seem to work though. So this is my solution for now:

In the content part of my page I have this.

// language selector
langSelector { $("#lang-selector") }
langSelectorValues { $("#lang-selector option") }

Then to see if a language is present I'm doing something like this :

// check for english
langSelectorValues.filter(value: 'en')

I guess I was expecting a more direct way to check for the value en directly from the select element (langSelector). This way works, but is there a cleaner way?

Solution

  • You could for example do:

    langSelectorFor { value -> $("#lang-selector option[value='${value}']") }

    And use it like:

    langSelectorFor("en")
