Capybara / poltergeist / phantomjs double_click missing

Like the title says capybara is having trouble finding double_click:

undefined method `double_click' for #<Capybara::Node::Element:...>

Click works just fine as do most other methods. I'm using capybara 2.1.0, poltergeist 1.6.0 and phantomjs 1.9.7. Any ideas?

Welcome to StackOverflow. It may help if you add some code snippets to your question so people can analyze. Right now, they have to guess. - peter_the_oak
I think maybe you can check your plugins version, make sure it's lastest, it's a solution sometimes... - ethan
I upgraded to capybara 2.4.4 and now I get not implemented: base.double_click NotImplementedError: NotImplementedError - Alex Smith

For posterity here's the solution:

I set javascript_driver:

Capybara.javascript_driver = :poltergeist

but not default_driver:

Capybara.default_driver = :poltergeist

Are you sure you have a valid Capybara element that can be clicked on?

page.find('#lst-ib').double_click

The above works on Google.com

For double click event, the below approach might help you solve your problem. I know its bit late but for people who might face similar issue in their automation work

On latest ruby capybara and selenium version use

element = page.find(:xpath,"//a[contains(text(), locator)]")
page.driver.browser.action.double_click(element.native).perform

for Old version pls use the below code:

element = page.find(:xpath,"//a[contains(text(), locator)]")
page.driver.browser.mouse.double_click(element.native)
  1. Find the element with either xpath or css.
  2. Use page.driver.browser.mouse.double_click(element.native) to perform the action
