Choose Bootstrap option with capybara - ruby-on-rails

I'm having problems selecting an option with Capybara in a form made with Bootstrap and I don't know why.
This is how the form is actually written:
<div class="control-group radio_buttons optional application_read">
<label class="radio_buttons optional control-label">Read</label>
<div class="controls">
<span class="radio">
<label for="application_read_true">
<input class="radio_buttons optional" type="radio" value="true" name="application[read]" id="application_read_true">Yes
</label>
</span>
<span class="radio">
<label for="application_read_false">
<input class="radio_buttons optional" type="radio" value="false" checked="checked" name="application[read]" id="application_read_false">No
</label>
</span>
</div>
</div>
What I'm attempting to do is select the first Radio button with "Yes" label (so Read: Yes) this way:
find("#application_read_true").click
but it doesn't affect the form in any way.
How can I select the True option under the 'Read' label? Thanks in advance.

Try this:
choose("application_read_true")
But I believe that this should work too if you have only one radio button with "Yes" caption
choose("Yes")

Customize simple form radio buttons to match the theme markup

I’m using simple forms. The following line is what I have
=f.input :live_mode, as: :radio_buttons, label: false
which produces the following markup
<div class="form-group radio_buttons optional facility_live_mode"> .
<input type="hidden" name="facility[live_mode]" value="">
<label class="radio">
<label for="facility_live_mode_true">
<input class="radio_buttons optional" type="radio" value="true" name="facility[live_mode]" id="facility_live_mode_true">
Yes
</label>
</label>
<label class="radio">
<label for="facility_live_mode_false">
<input class="radio_buttons optional" readonly="readonly" type="radio" value="false" checked="checked" name="facility[live_mode]" id="facility_live_mode_false">
No
</label>
</label>
</div>
The wrapper label is the result of setting config.item_wrapper_tag in simple_form.rb to :label which matches the markup of the custom theme I’m using.
What I want to achieve is this
<input type="hidden" name="facility[live_mode]" value="">
<label class="custom-control custom-radio custom-control-inline">
<input class="custom-control-input" type="radio" value="true" name="facility[live_mode]" id="facility_live_mode_true">
<span class="custom-control-label">Yes</span>
</label>
<label class="custom-control custom-radio custom-control-inline">
<input class="custom-control-input" readonly="readonly" type="radio" value="false" checked="checked" name="facility[live_mode]" id="facility_live_mode_false">
<span class="custom-control-label">No</span>
</label>
but I have no idea how to go about doing this. Simple form config file provides a few options for customization but nothing that can produce the output that I need.
Is there something I can do to make this happen?

Bootstrap 4 custom form with Simple Form

Bootstrap 4 introduces custom forms to customize checkboxes and radio buttons. Here is a way to generate the following templates with Simple Form?
Checkbox:
<label class="c-input c-checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<span class="c-indicator"></span>
Check this custom checkbox
</label>
Radio:
<label class="c-input c-radio">
<input id="radio1" name="radio" type="radio">
<span class="c-indicator"></span>
Toggle this custom radio
</label>
<label class="c-input c-radio">
<input id="radio2" name="radio" type="radio">
<span class="c-indicator"></span>
Or toggle this other custom radio
</label>
Thank you!
Just replace the input with form element:
<%= simple_form_for :foo do |f| %>
<label class="c-input c-checkbox">
<%= f.check_box :bar %>
<span class="c-indicator"></span>
Check this custom checkbox
</label>
<% end %>
Which will generate:
<label class="c-input c-checkbox">
<input name="foo[bar]" type="hidden" value="0">
<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="foo[bar]" id="foo_bar">
<span class="c-indicator"></span>
Check this custom checkbox
</label>
Check the bootply.
Same goes for your second example, just replace the elements with RoR's form elements.

Check_box problems to retrieve the one checked

I tried to use this form to put checkboxes on a form:
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-primary active">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off" checked> Checkbox 1 (pre-checked)
</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off"> Checkbox 2
</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off"> Checkbox 3
</label>
</div>
My problem is that when I try to get the checkboxes checked with my parameters, I always can get only one (the last one checked, example: if I check 1 and 2, I will get 2 only).
How can I do to get them in my controller?
Thanks in advance
Try giving your inputs a name attribute with unique value attributes and unique id attributes.
Example:
<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons">
<label class="btn btn-primary active">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off" id="first" value="1" name="box-selections[]" checked> Checkbox 1 (pre-checked)
</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off" id="second" value="2" name="box-selections[]"> Checkbox 2
</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary">
<input type="checkbox" autocomplete="off" id="third" value="3" name="box-selections[]"> Checkbox 3
</label>
</div>

Selecting multiple checkboxes with Capybara, weird behaviour

I am making an acceptance test on Ruby on Rails 3.0.11 with Capybara 1.1.2, and trying to select two checkboxes in a form.
Here is the view code for the checkboxes (using haml 3.1.3 and simple_form 2.0.4):
= f.input :countries,
:collection => MusicTeaser.teaser_countries,
:as => :check_boxes
The collection looks like this:
[["AT", "at"], ["CH", "ch"], ["DE", "de"], ["ZA", "za"]]
And the HTML generated:
<div class="input check_boxes optional">
<label class="check_boxes optional control-label">Countries</label>
<label class="checkbox">
<input class="check_boxes optional" id="music_teaser_countries_at" name="music_teaser[countries][]" type="checkbox" value="at">AT
</label>
<label class="checkbox">
<input class="check_boxes optional" id="music_teaser_countries_ch" name="music_teaser[countries][]" type="checkbox" value="ch">CH
</label>
<label class="checkbox">
<input class="check_boxes optional" id="music_teaser_countries_de" name="music_teaser[countries][]" type="checkbox" value="de" checked="">DE
</label>
<label class="checkbox">
<input class="check_boxes optional" id="music_teaser_countries_za" name="music_teaser[countries][]" type="checkbox" value="za">ZA
</label>
<input name="music_teaser[countries][]" type="hidden" value="">
</div>
The code to select them looks like this (pretty straightforward):
check 'music_teaser_countries_de'
check 'music_teaser_countries_za'
I expected that, on submit, the countries param would look like this:
params[:music_teaser][:countries] = ["de", "za"]
But it appears as this:
params[:music_teaser][:countries] = ["deza"]
So it seems like Capybara is doing something wrong when selecting more than one checkbox. Ideas?

Checking checkboxes with Capybara

Using Capybara I cannot for the life of me select a checkbox on my form.
In my request spec I've tried:
check("First Name")
page.check("First Name")
page.check("pickem_option_ids_10")
find(:css, "#pickem_option_ids_11[value='11']").set(true)
find(:css, "#pickem_option_ids_11").set(true)
Snippet from my form:
<div class="control-group check_boxes optional">
<label class="check_boxes optional control-label">Options:</label>
<div class="controls">
<label class="checkbox">
<input class="check_boxes optional" id="pickem_option_ids_10" name="pickem[option_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="10" />First Name
</label>
<label class="checkbox">
<input class="check_boxes optional" id="pickem_option_ids_11" name="pickem[option_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="11" />Middle Name
</label>
</div>
</div>
I got some of the find() ideas from this SO thread.
I've had some success in other specs where I have a single checkbox with a label of Active and I just say check("Active").
Had the same problem today, I looked around and this seemed to work:
find(:xpath, "//input[#value='10']").set(true)
of course you can replace '10' with anything you want - just check your HTML and use your value.
Hope that helps.
Capybara can't find checkbox "First Name" because your html is wrong. Your html should look like
<label class="checkbox" for="pickem_option_ids_10">First Name</label>
<input class="check_boxes optional" id="pickem_option_ids_10" name="pickem[option_ids][]" type="checkbox" value="10" />
In your view code
= label_tag "pickem_option_ids_10", "First Name"
= check_box_tag "pickem_option_ids_10", 10
Then check("First Name") should work.
Otherwise you can find("#pickem_option_ids_10").check
