Undefined Method `set' for #<Watir::Input:0x102204a38> (NoMethodError)

[Usman Hussain]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to set a text field with the method set and it doesnt seem
to be working anymore.

The error im getting is: `set' for #<Watir::Input:0x102204a38>
(NoMethodError)

I am using Watir-WebDriver (version 0.1.1) and firefox as the browser.

My line of code is:
@browser.element_by_xpath("//div[@id= 'container']//div//input[@value=
'starofjoy.display']/../input[2]").set("true")

If I use send_keys instead of set then i end up with the text field
looking something like this:
falsetrue

BUT all i want is to change it from False to True...

has anyone else come across this problem?

Kind regards,
Usman Hussain

Don't use element_by_xpath. If you want a text field, pass the xpath
to Browser#text_field:

browser.text_field(:xpath, "/your/xpath").set("foo")

Again, reading the docs would show you on what elements the #set
method is defined (e.g. not on Watir::Input).
