Phpunit click on anchor tag element instead of submit button

My Form doesn't have a Submit button. Instead I used an anchor tag.

<a href="#" 
        onclick="javascript:submitOfQuestion();"
                                    data-toggle="dropdown"
                                    class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"><i
                                    class="fa fa-upload icon-white"></i> Upload </a>

And I wrote the below test method.

/** @test */
public function testUploadQuestion(){


    $this->visit('/upload_question')
        ->select('Computer', 'subject')
        ->select('7 - 10', 'ageCategory')
        ->type('Test Case Test Question 1', 'question')
        ->attach('C:\xampp\htdocs\IntelliKid\public\test_resources\Capture2.JPG', 'file[]')
        ->type('Test Case Test Answer 1', 'ans1')
        ->type('Test Case Test Answer 2', 'ans2')
        ->type('Test Case Test Answer 3', 'ans3')
        ->type('Test Case Test Answer 4', 'ans4')
        ->press('Upload')
        ->see('Success!');

}

But I get the following error.

1) UploadQuestionTest::testUploadQuestion
InvalidArgumentException: Could not find a form that has submit button [Upload].

You probably figured this out by now. But another user might have a similar problem, try replacing your: ->press('Upload') to ->click('Upload') When you just say "->press" it expects to receive a button.

Try this and see if it works first. If I were you I'd also go to the view and give my href link an id="Upload" so that your unit test can identify it when I say ->click('Upload')

I hope this helps. ~T
