Selenium can't find fields with type number

Question

I\'m having a problem getting Cucumber to find fields with the HTML5 type=\"number\". I\'m not a big fan of the way they look in the browser, but I have a few field

Answer 1

Ok, I have found firefox has an option to disable number input field support: 'dom.forms.number'.

So if you add the following lines in your env.rb, number input gets disabled and tests work again.

Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
  profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
  profile["dom.forms.number"] = false
  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox, :profile => profile)
end
