    copied!<p>I know that <code>/Interface \d/</code> occurs three times on the page. But I don't know how to test for this with Capybara in Cucumber. Here was my first attempt:</p> <pre><code>Then /^(?:|I )should see \/([^\/]*)\/ (\d+)(?:x|X| times?)?$/ do |regexp, count| regexp = Regexp.new(regexp) count = count.to_i if page.respond_to? :should page.should have_xpath('//*', { :text =&gt; regexp, :count =&gt; count }) else assert page.has_xpath?('//*', { :text =&gt; regexp, :count =&gt; count }) end end </code></pre> <p>However, this returns false for my <code>Then I should see /Interface \d+/ 3 times</code>.</p> <p>I figured out that this is because <a href="http://rdoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Node/Matchers%3ahas_xpath%3F" rel="nofollow"><code>has_xpath</code></a> uses <a href="http://rdoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Node/Finders%3aall" rel="nofollow"><code>all</code></a>. Putting this in my test:</p> <pre><code>puts all(:xpath, '//*', { :text =&gt; regexp}).map {|e| pp e} </code></pre> <p>results in </p> <pre><code>#&lt;Capybara::Element tag="html" path="/html"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="body" path="/html/body"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="div" path="/html/body/div"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="div" path="/html/body/div/div[2]"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="table" path="/html/body/div/div[2]/table"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="tbody" path="/html/body/div/div[2]/table/tbody"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="tr" path="/html/body/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[1]"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="td" path="/html/body/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[3]"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="tr" path="/html/body/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[2]"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="td" path="/html/body/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[3]"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="tr" path="/html/body/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[3]"&gt; #&lt;Capybara::Element tag="td" path="/html/body/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[3]"&gt; </code></pre> <p>So I am getting a count of every step along the way to the elements that contain my text. :-\</p> <p>I thought maybe <a href="http://rdoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/master/Capybara/Node/Matchers%3ahas_content%3F" rel="nofollow"><code>has_content</code></a> would save me, but it doesn't accept a count.</p> <p>Help!</p>
