how do a click on a link in webdriverIO

I am trying to click on a link in a web page with webdriverIO. I can navigate to google.com page and then I enter a search term.

But when I try to click on a link containing the text I want, it doesn't click the link.

What am I doing wrong:

Here is my code:

var webdriverio = require('webdriverio');
var options = {
    desiredCapabilities: {
        //browserName: 'phantomjs'
        browserName: 'chrome'
    }
};
webdriverio
    .remote(options)
    .init()
    .url('http://www.google.com')
    .setValue('*[name="q"]','webdriverio')
    .click('*[name="btnG"]')
    .pause(1000)
    .getTitle().then(function(title) {
        console.log('Title was: ' + title)
    })
    .getText('=webdriver.io').then(function(text) {
        console.log('Title was: ' + text); // outputs: "WebdriverIO"
    })
    .end();

I am running webdriverIO with node.js v6.9.2 and selenium stand alone server 3.0.1.

Thanks.

Found it!!!

use:

.click('[href="http://webdriver.io/"]')

this format worked for me.

Looks like they changed the name of the "google search" button to be 'btnK'. Try replacing 'btnG' with 'btnK' in your click command and see if it works. 

<input value="Google Search" aria-label="Google Search" name="btnK" type="submit" jsaction="sf.chk">
