Codeception Laravel4 module issue. Line 7 makes this fail for me. It only responds to the label's body. Not name or id of the input. 20 second video example: http://d.pr/v/hn0q

<?php

$I->amOnPage('/register');
$I->see('Register', 'h1');

$I->fillField('Password:', 'password');
$I->click('Register');
$I->seeCurrentUrlEquals('/login');

It's ok. To match element by ID you should use CSS selector, or XPath locator.
Basically, smth like this:

<?php

<?php
$I = new TestGuy($scenario);
$I->wantTo('perform actions and see result');
$I->amOnPage('/posts');
$I->see('All Posts');
$I->click('Add new post');
$I->fillField('#title', 'Hello world again');
$I->fillField('#body', 'And greetings for all');
$I->click('Submit');
$I->see('All Posts');
$I->see('Hello world');

At first element is searched by label/text/etc (depending on element). There are pretty complex XPath locators in Mink and BrowserKit to guess the proper element. But if they fail Codeception retries with matching by CSS. If CSS matching fails, Codeception tries to use it as XPath.

Bruteforce that works:)
