Well this is a simple blog post. I needed a behat test to click an edit button in a table row... and I was struggling to figure out just how to make it work. Then I found the attached link which had the following code examples. I have copied these solely to make sure they persist incase their website ever goes away or down or whatever.

The table in question:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>hello</td>
        <td><a href="http://www.hello.com">view</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>2</td>
        <td>world</td>
        <td><a href="http://www.world.com">view</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>3</td>
        <td>inanzzz</td>
        <td><a href="http://www.inanzzz.com">view</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>4</td>
        <td>welcome</td>
        <td><a href="http://www.welcome.com">view</a></td>
    </tr>
</table>

The feature file:

Feature: Test feature
 
  Scenario: Scenario description
    Given I am on "/"
    Then the response status code should be 200
    And I click "view" on the row containing "inanzzz"
    Then I should see "Behat"

The Context Code:

use Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext;
 
class FeatureContext extends MinkContext
{
    /**
     * @When /^I click "([^"]*)" on the row containing "([^"]*)"$/
     */
    public function iClickOnOnTheRowContaining($linkName, $rowText)
    {
        /** @var $row \Behat\Mink\Element\NodeElement */
        $row = $this->getSession()->getPage()->find('css', sprintf('table tr:contains("%s")', $rowText));
        if (!$row) {
            throw new \Exception(sprintf('Cannot find any row on the page containing the text "%s"', $rowText));
        }
 
        $row->clickLink($linkName);
    }
}
