Ambiguous match, found 2 elements matching css - Capybara
Solution 1
I would suggest wrapping it in a more specific finder as below:
within find('#my_unique_id') do
find(".icon-delete").click
end
That however would require you to have an id on the parent element. If you don't have this, you could go the simple route of selecting the first one on that page then calling click on that:
first(".icon-delete").click
Solution 2
First takes the same parameters as find (not elements) so to just click on the first matching element you would do
page.first('.icon-delete').click
There is a difference to take into account though, since nil is a valid response for first it won't (by default) wait for a matching element to appear. If you do need it to wait for the element you just need to pass one of the count options
page.first('.icon-delete', minimum: 1).click
Solution 3
click_on "Link Text.", match: :first

I have a test that renders two of the same elements on the page. I understand what the problem is with the error but I'm just not sure how to fix it? Here is my test:
TEST
it "deletes the correct snitch" do user = login_user snitch = create(:snitch, :healthy, owner: user.accounts.first) snitch2 = create(:snitch, :healthy, owner: user.accounts.first) visit root_path delete = page.find(".icon-delete") first(delete).click expect(page).to have_content("Please confirm this delete.") end
ERROR
Managing snitches deleting a snitch from the index page deletes the correct snitch Failure/Error: delete = page.find(".icon-delete") Capybara::Ambiguous: Ambiguous match, found 2 elements matching css ".icon-delete"
How can I pick just one of the icon delete on the page?
