How to perform actions on specific row in table without using index?

Hi,

I would like to perform action on a given table of results.

The markup looks like this for one row item

Currently, I have code that checks that the row item exists, and I interact with the actions (delete, edit) using index.

.expect((page.rowItem.withExactText('Test C')).exists).ok({timeout:10000}, 'Container did not add')
.click(page.buttonWrapper.withText('Delete').nth(0))

This works fine for this test case because only one row item will ever be returned.

However, this isn't a nice solution when multiple results are returned if i was to make changes in future.

Preferably, I would like a solution that looks for a specific row by title and then interacts with buttons only within that row.

Would this be possible?

Thanks,

Well you've already located the row, so I think you could do a find within the row:

.click(page.rowItem.withExactText('Test C').find("button").withExactText('Delete'))

and thus do it for any row.
