Checking for text on submit button in Capybara

Question

I need to verify the presence of a submit button with specific text on the page.

For example, the HTML code for the button is:

<input class="button" type="submit" value="Continue" tabindex="3"
name="nav[save]"></input>

My attempt at verification:

  it "should display the Continue button" do
    expect(page.find('input[type="submit"]').find('input[value="Continue"]')).to be_truthy
  end

However, I am encountering the following error:

Error: Unable to find css selector "input[value=\"Continue\"]"

I also tried:

expect(page.find('input[type="submit"]')).
  to have_selector('input[value="Continue"]')

But this resulted in:

Error: Expected to find css selector "input[value=\"Continue\"]" but no matches were found.

verify(find('.button').text).equals('Continue')

See the result in the command line interface:

[1] pry(#<Cucumber::Rails::World>)> verify(find('.button').text).equals('Continue')
=> true
