I’m trying to write a really basic Wallaby test to check that an anchor link navigates the user to the right page. My link:

<a href="/cases/new-case" class="button button__primary ">
  Add a new case
</a>

My test:

session =
  session
  |> visit(~p"/cases")
  |> assert_has(Query.link("Add a new case", count: 1))
  |> click(Query.link("Add a new case"))
  |> assert_has(..predicates to test new page ...)

The problem is that although the assert_has succeeds, and I can see that the link is visible in the browser, the navigation to the new page does not happen - even if I insert a sleep.

This seems like a pretty basic test automation, so I’m really not sure why the link follow is not working. I know I can just visit() the URL of the destination page, but in this test I want to text the UX of clicking on the link. But I have no hypotheses left to explore as to why the link is not being visited, and would welcome any suggestions.

I’m on Ubuntu, using chromedriver-120.0.6099.109 and an identical version of Google Chrome
