Page Object .navigate() returning a type error: 'undefined is not a function'

[rhazes]

My test calls my page object and then attempts to call the method .navigate() but an error is returned on that line that says 'undefined is not a function'.

Is this a bug with Page Objects in Night watch? The documentation states that I can use this method if I have a url property in my Page Object: http://nightwatchjs.org/guide#using-page-objects.

for reference: I am using nightwatch 0.7.9. Here is what my test looks like:

//homeTest.js*

module.exports = {

  'demoGoogle' : function (client) {

    var google = client.page.home();

    google.navigate()

    client.end();

  }

}

//home.js*

module.exports = {

  url: "http//google.com"

}

 

*this is pretty much exactly how the examples provided are using it, am I missing something obvious?

folder structure:

- pages 

    - main

        - home.js

    - project

        - project.js

- tests

    - main

        - homeTest.js

- nightwatch.json

//nightwatch.json (snippet)  

{

  "src_folders" : ["tests"],

  "output_folder" : "reports/nightwatch_junitXML",

  "custom_commands_path" : "custom_commands",

  "custom_assertions_path" : "",

  "page_objects_path" : ["pages/main", "pages/project"],

  "globals_path" : "globals/globalsModule.js",

  },

THANK YOU!!!! 

I was thinking something long those lines and added the command property to it, but once that didn't work, I bailed.

I appreciate it!

it'd be nice if the docs were updated to reflect that.
