Rspec with Capybara not finding link or any elements

I am writing feature tests for my Rails 5 application. One feature is the ability to click a link with method POST. 

visit "/admin/client_servers/#{client_server.id}"
click_on('Request Review From Application Owner')

I receive the error "Capybara::ElementNotFound: Unable to find link or button 'Request Review From Application Owner'"

Just experimenting, I check to see if the test can find any element I know is on the screen. I have one container div with a class of 'description' and the test is unable to find the element.

The previous test passes

  visit "/admin/client_servers/#{client_server.id}"
  expect(page).to have_text("Request Review From Application Owner")

So I know the text I want to click on appears on the page. My html is setup:

<div class="mark-ready-btn server-button" id="overall-tab" data-param="overall">
    <%=link_to admin_client_servers_update_review_status_path(status: 1, id: @server.id), class: "request-review-btn", method: 'POST' do%>
      <div class="server-mark-ready" id="overall-tab" data-param="overall">
        Request Review From Application Owner
      </div>
    <%end%>
</div>

I've checked but the test is unable to find the css tags '.mark-ready-btn server-button', '.request-review-btn', or '.server-mark-ready'. I've searched this problem online and looked into Capybara and Rspec documentation. Is there something I'm missing or a improper syntax I've written in the test? I'd appreciate any help on this issue.

find("#overall-tab").click should do the work

Or if you really want to click on specific text try:

find('div', text: 'Request Review From Application Owner').click

If Capybara can't find link or button, generally means that there is no link or button. You will have to use 'click' method.

From your html example, this should work

1.first('.server-mark-ready).click
2.page.all('.server-mark-ready)[#].click (in case there is more than one div that has that class)

You can try - 

within ".mark-ready-btn.server-button" do
  click_on ".server-mark-ready"
end

Or you can use "find"

find('.server-mark-ready').click
