You can use the #html method in Capybara to get the HTML content of an element. Here's an example code snippet:

1

6
7
8
# Find the element using a CSS selector
element = find('.your-element-selector')

# Get the HTML content of the element
html_content = element.html

# Output the HTML content
puts html_content


In this example, we first use the find method to locate the element using a CSS selector. Then, we use the html method to retrieve the HTML content of the element and store it in the html_content variable. Finally, we can output the HTML content to the console.
