Introduce Node#has_element?
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While other, more specific, selectors and matches exist, it's very
common for test suites to fall back to CSS's support for attribute
matching.

For example, it's common for suites to find `<img>` elements by their
`[src]` value through concatenating a CSS Selector string:

```ruby
have_css("img[src=#{image_path}]")
```

Sometimes, including double quotes into the String isn't necessary, but
when it is, it leads to escaping, combined `'` and `"` usage,
alternative syntaxes like `%{...}`, or calls to `String#inspect`:

```ruby
have_css("img[src=\"#{image_path}\"]")
have_css('img[src="#{image_path}"]')
have_css(%{img[src="#{image_path}"]})
have_css("img[src=#{image_path.inspect}]")
```

The `:element` selector thrives in circumstances like this:

```ruby
have_selector :element, "img", src: image_path
```

In my experience, it's uncommon for teams to even _be aware_ that the
`:element` selector exists, let alone make longer-form calls like
`have_selector` that require both the `:element` and `"img"` argument.

This commit proposes the `Node#has_element?` and `Node#has_no_element?`
methods to power `have_element`, `assert_element`, etc. The hope is that
the generated Ruby documentation will popularize the use of the
`:element` selector.
