Update to work with chosen jquery plugin. If don't know the id of the select and find option by text rather than id. Whitout using execute_script

jquery_chosen_helper.rb

# Example:
#  chosen_select 'select[name="projects"]', "ProjectA"
#

def chosen_select (css_select, option_text)
  element_id = page.find(css_select)['id']
  page.driver.browser.mouse.down find("##{element_id}_chzn").native
  within("##{element_id}_chzn") do
    find(:xpath,"//li[text()=\"#{option_text}\"]").click
  end
end

Does this happen to work using Capybara 2.0?

Hi @sjtipton
It was tested in Capybara 1.1.1.
If you test it in Capybara 2.0, please let me know if it works.
Thanks!

For current version of capybara and choosen this working:

  def chosen_select(css_selector, value)
    page.evaluate_script(%{$('#{css_selector}').val('#{value}').trigger("chosen:updated");})
  end
