How to click link icon with laravel dusk?

Question

If I have a link:

<a href="/somewhere">Click Me</a> 

I know I can clickLink based on its text.

 public function testCanClickLink() { $this->browse(function ($browser) { $browser->visit('/welcome') ->clickLink('Click Me'); }); } 

But how can I click the link to the icon?

 <a href="/somewhere"> <i class="fa fa-plus" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> 

Answer 1

You can target href as follows:

->click('a[href="/somewhere"]')

Answer 2

This is a bit hacky, but this is what I came up with as a workaround.

• Put the id selector in the link.

   <a id="link-click-me" href="/somewhere"> <i class="fa fa-plus" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> 

• Confirm it.

• Get the href attribute.
• Visit him.

• The correct way to confirm.

   public function testCanClickLink() { $this->browse(function ($browser) { $browser->visit('/welcome') ->assertVisible('#link-click-me') ->visit( $browser->attribute('#link-click-me', 'href') ) ->assertPathIs('/somewhere'); }); }
