I am using capybara to click a checkbox, however it can't seem to find it no matter what I do. I am able to correctly find both the span and the label inside the span, but not the input I actually need.
Here is the checkbox
<span class="checkbox tos">
<input id="agreement" name="agreement" onclick="agreeValidate();" type="checkbox" value="false">
<label for="agreement">I accept the <a href="http://www.dev.com:3000/terms" target="_blank">Terms of Use</a>, <a href="http://www.dev.com:3000/privacy" target="_blank">Privacy Policy</a>, and am at least 13 years old</label>
</span>
And here are some of the things I have tried
page.check('agreement')
find(:css, '#agreement').set(true)
find('#agreement').set(true)
find('#agreement').click
However, they all give me the same error
Unable to find css "#agreement" (Capybara::ElementNotFound)
I am also wondering will any of these methods fire off the onclick method, when the checkbox is clicked? I feel like find(:css, '#agreement').set(true) will not trigger the onclick event. However, I am not sure about the rest.
Update
I have also tried selecting the element through xpath. Here are the various things I have found out
find(:xpath, '//*[@id="registration"]/span[2]')
This is able to find the span element no problem
find(:xpath, '//*[@id="registration"]/span[2]/input')
This can't find the element I need, but this xpath correctly selects the element in chrome's console
find(:xpath, '//*[@id="agreement"]')
This can't find the element I need, but the xpath selects the element in chrome's console
find(:xpath, '//*[@id="registration"]/span[2]/label')
This is able to find the label element in the span with no problem.
