Rspec/Capybara matching data across rows and columns

Question

I've got HTML looking something like:

<div class="row">
  <div class="column">
    Customer Alice
  </div>
  <div class="column">
    Status: enrolled / signed
  </div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="column">
    Customer Boris
  </div>
  <div class="column">
    Status: signed
  </div>
</div>

Having some challenges with matching across rows and columns.

When using Rspec/Capybara, I update details for Boris so that his status becomes enrolled / signed i.e.

<div class="row">
  <div class="column">
    Customer Alice
  </div>
  <div class="column">
    Status: enrolled / signed
  </div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="column">
    Customer Boris
  </div>
  <div class="column">
    Status: enrolled / signed
  </div>
</div>

This is easy to confirm on-screen visually, by a human.

Since I am using Capybara and Poltergeist :), how do I easily match to confirm that Boris's status is expected to be enrolled / signed for the spec?

Answer 1

Something like

row = find('.row', text: 'Customer Boris')
expect(row).to have_text('enrolled')

would do what you want - if you wanted to do it all in one you could pass a regex for the text match so

expect(page).to have_selector('.row', text: /Customer Boris.*enrolled/)

or something like that
