Codeception - How to address a field with non-unique name

Question

I want to test a list of records with codeception. I have a form and have unique rows like this

<tr id="row1">
  <td class="description">
    <input name="description" type="text" value="some text">
  </td>
</tr>
<tr id="row2">
  <td class="description">
    <input name="description" type="text" value="some more text">
  </td>
</tr>

so the name of the field is the same while the id of the row is not. When I try to

$I->fillField("#row1 input[name='description']", "some other text");

it fails with

Field by name, label, CSS or XPath '#row1 input[name="description"]' was not found on page.

I believe the answer is just around the corner but I am struggling to find it. Any hints or ideas?

Thanx,

m!

Answer 1

You could use the CSS selectors td:nth-child(1) or td:nth-of-child(1) .

Also beware (IRC) that PHPBrowser only can use fillField on fields contained inside a form.

Answer 2

You can try to use with xpath like:

$I->fillField("//*[@id='row1']//input","Input text here");

In case you really want to play with CSS, you can try with following code:

$I->fillField("#row1 input","Input text here");
