How to click a link within a hidden div via capybara

I am using capybara, rspec, and poltergeist in a Rails 4 application and am trying to click on the following link button via capybara.

<div class="form-group">
  <input id="invoice_invoice_items_attributes_0__destroy" name="invoice[invoice_items_attributes][0][_destroy]" type="hidden" value="false">
  <a class="btn btn-warning remove_fields existing" href="#">Remove Invoice Item</a>
</div>

If I have the following in rspec/capybara, it finds the hidden element:

find(:xpath, '//input[@id="invoice_invoice_items_attributes_0__destroy"]', visible: false)

If I try this, it doesn't find the link element:

find(:xpath, '//input[@id="invoice_invoice_items_attributes_0__destroy"]/a', visible: false)

The end goal is to do this:

find(:xpath, '//input[@id="invoice_invoice_items_attributes_0__destroy"]/a', visible: false)

How do I get there?

Your a tag isn't inside of the input field, so unless form-group div is hidden, you should be able to just do:

click_link 'Remove Invoice Item'

If form-group is hidden, then try:

find(".remove_fields", visible: false).click
