Why doesn't this simple Webspec script work?

Why doesn't this simple Webspec script work? It runs but it wont
click the button.

---------------

import org.watij.webspec.dsl.WebSpec;
public class GoogleTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
WebSpec spec = new WebSpec().mozilla();
spec.open("http://www.google.com");
spec.find.input().with.name("q").set.value("Dogs");
spec.find.button().with.name("btnG").click();
}

}

The error I get is :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Expectation
failed: Element should exist before calling CLICK
at org.watij.webspec.dsl.Tag.shouldExist(Tag.java:332)
at org.watij.webspec.dsl.Tag.click(Tag.java:260)

I found a solution but why did I need to have the single-quotes inside
the double-quotes? This is really un-intuitive and the documentation
on your site says nothing about this type of enclosure. I got it
working but there must be an easier way isn't there?

Here is the working code, with difficulty:

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
WebSpec spec = new WebSpec().mozilla();

spec.open("http://www.google.com"); //opens google.com in
Mozilla

spec.find.input().with.name("q").set.value("Dogs");

//spec.timeout(5000).find.button().with("name",
"btnG").click();
Tag loginBtn = spec.find("input").with("name=='btnG'");
loginBtn.click();
spec.pauseUntilReady();

}

I am a little confused on what issues you are having? The
documentation http://watij.com/webspec-api/ has examples in almost
every section for doing this. Take a look at the very first example
under "Finding Tags" :

Tag input = spec.find("input").with("name=='myinput'");

[djangofan]

Your right. My confusion was that my initial guess was do do it this
way:

spec.find("button").with("name", "myinput")
or
spec.find("button").at(0).click()

But both of those didn't work, despite their intuitiveness...

But, your right, the lesser intuitive answer worked:

spec.find("input").with("name=='myinput'");

All the ways you mentioned should work as well...if not please send us
some example html that reproduces your issues...thanks,

Google's search button is an html tag of "input" not "button"....so

spec.find.button().with.name("btnG").click();

...should instead be:

spec.find.input().with.name("btnG").click();

I can't believe I didn't notice that. Sorry!

[djangofan]

In the Google example that I gave that started this thread, I used
this example to click the button on the Google search page, but it
fails:

spec.find.button().with.name("btnG").click();


Maybe you can talk about why that would fail? What exactly was wrong
with that code statement above?
