RSpec/Capybara can't find link to image

I want to use RSpec and Capybara to simulate clicking on an image, but I cannot do it.

My error is this:

Failure/Error: click_on "icon_red_heart.png"

     Capybara::ElementNotFound:
       Unable to find visible css "#image-button"

spec/features/posts_spec.rb

scenario "push an image" do  
  visit posts_path
  expect(page).to have_current_path(posts_path)
  find('#image-button').click
end

likes/_likes.html.erb

   <%= button_to post_like_path(post, like), id: "image-button",method: :delete, remote: true do %>

      <%= image_tag("icon_red_heart.png")%>

I don't know how to how to specify the image.

Please teach me.

As @jonrsharpe indicated, you are not referencing the button properly. The most resilient way to reference an element is to give it an id and reference it by that id.

Also, the button created by button_to may have no content, in which case you'll need to tell Capybara that the button is not visible.

Change the button_to line to this:

<%= button_to post_like_path(post, like), id: "image-button", remote: true do %>

Then change your test to read as follows:

scenario "push an image" do
  visit posts_path # Use the name of your path here
  find('#image-button', visible: false).click
end

Incidentally, using method: :delete in your button_to link doesn't do what you would expect. The method is automatically set to POST, which is presumably what you want.
