clicking links in mechanize with :text=> nokogiri.css('a.l')

[Edouard Dantes]

Hi,

i cannot click links in mechanize through their text content.

i tried the following but get error with link_withtext => '') method
or using the whole text content obtained through nokogiri parser method
css('a.l') that points to google results.

what am i doing wrong?

thanks for input


#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
$KCODE='UTF8'

@agent= WWW::Mechanize.new
@[email protected]('http://www.google.com/search?q=parsing')

puts @agent.click @page.link_withtext => 'parsing') <===??

@page.parser.css('a.l').each do |l| puts @agent.click(l).inner_text end
<===??

There is no link with text 'parsing'. Just tried that google search
and there's a 'Parsing' result on the first page.
@page.link_withtext => 'Parsing') returns a WWW::Mechanize:age::Link
