Cucumber Capybara find checkbox by other than id, name, or label

I'm trying to check a checkbox in my cucumber test, but I cannot figure out how to tell it to search by anything other than the id, name, or label. I keep on getting this error:

cannot check field, no checkbox with id, name, or label 'xxxx' found

I have added an attribute of 'identifier' to each checkbox, with unique values, and would like to find the box by these terms.

Realizing this question is rather old, an answer may still be useful to someone, somewhere. I found the following to work:

find(:xpath, "//input[@identifier='my_checkbox_identifier']").set(true)

Do you mean that you've added a new attribute named identifier to each checkbox? If so then you may be able to find them using a CSS locator:

find(:css, "[identifier='#{my_checkbox_identifier}']").set(true)

(set-ing the checkbox to true checks it, use false to uncheck it.)
