NoMethodError: undefined method `object_respond_to?' for nil:NilClass when using text_field set method

[Basim Baassiri]

This is the code i was using

    require 'watir-vapir'

    @browser = Watir::Browser.new

    @browser.goto 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVo0Mlm-S2A'

    @browser.button(:id,"watch-share").click

    @browser.button(:class=>"watch-share-button yt-uix-button",:index=>2).click

    @browser  = Watir::Browser.attach(:title, 'Login | Facebook')

    @browser.text_field(:id, "email").set <username>

    @browser.text_field(:id, "pass").set <password>

    @browser.button(:name, "login").click

    @browser.link(:class, "UIShareStage_InlineEdit inline_edit").fire_event "onclick"

    sleep 2

    # change the video title to my own

    @browser.text_field(:class, "inputtext inline_edit").set('test_check_facebook_shared_link')

    # i get the exception here

    #click away so it gets set

    @browser.div(:class, "UIShareStage_Title").fire_event "onclick"

    @browser.button(:value, "Share").click

This is the exception i got
