TinyMCE select text and activate link dialogue with javascript

I'm trying to write an automated (using cucumber/capybara/selenium) test that will select some text in a tinymce box, click the link button, and open 开发者_C百科the link selection page.

But the link button only becomes active when some text is selected...so round one:

tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.select(tinyMCE.activeEditor.dom.select('p')[0]);

This selects the text of the first paragraph (good enough for my purposes) but the link box is still disabled. So then I tried to manually activate it:

tinyMCE.activeEditor.controlManager.setActive('link', true);

This still didn't enable the link button. As a last ditch effort, I tried to modify the classes:

$("#mce_generic_html_link").removeClass("mceButtonDisabled");
$("#mce_generic_html_link").addClass("mceButtonEnabled");

But that didn't help either.

You'll need to enable the button:

tinyMCE.activeEditor.controlManager.get('link').setDisabled(false)

This solved my problem:

tinymce.activeEditor.nodeChanged();
