    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to use Capybara to select a row within a table containing a particular name. Unfortunately, Capybara only seems to see gibberish in the table. Here's what I get for the following code:</p> <pre><code>page.all('table tr').map { |e| e.text } =&gt; ["", "y y y w y", "y y w y", "y y y w y", "y y w y", "y y w y w y"] </code></pre> <p><em>Update:</em> Here's the table it's trying to process:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table class="views-table cols-5"&gt;

Any ideas why it's is happening?</p>
