watir example fails

[c w]

Hi,

I am a bit frustrated as this used to be working few years ago. I try again as I intend to try to use back watir and I have no idea why starting with the second element scripts are failing on the watir example

Just run this:

require 'rubygems'

require 'watir'

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome

@browser = Watir::Browser.new driver

@browser.goto 'http://bit.ly/watir-example'

@browser.text_field(:name => "entry.1000000").set 'Watir'

sleep 3

@browser.text_field(:name => "entry.1000001").set 'Watir'

I get the following:

c:\watir>ruby watir.rb

This code has slept for the duration of the default timeout waiting for an Eleme

nt to exist. If the test is still passing, consider using Element#exists? instea

d of rescuing UnknownObjectException

ditable.rb:11:in `set'

        from watir.rb:18:in `<main>'

I just installed the latest version of ruby Ruby23-x64

It fails if I remove the sleep as well.

From the example only the first text field works.

Please advise.

Kind regards,

Cristina

"entry.1000001" is a textarea element not a text_field element.

You used to be able to use text_field for both, now you have to specify the type you want. This code will do exactly what you want:

require 'watir'

browser = Watir::Browser.new

browser.goto 'bit.ly/watir-example'

browser.text_field(name: "entry.1000000").set 'Watir'

browser.textarea(name: "entry.1000001").set 'Watir'
