SafaritWatir and text_field passwords

[Ken Chin]

Hello,

I have an issue that is stumping my brain, with SafariWatir on OSX.
I'm trying to run a simple login script that works fine with Watir on
IE PC but not on Safari OSX.

Both browsers fill out the login name correctly and IE inputs into the
password text_field but SafariWatir blows up with the following
exception:

Form
<input id="session_email" name="session[email]" size="30" tabindex="1"
type="text" style="">
...
<input id="session_password" name="session[password]" size="30"
tabindex="2" type="password">


ree-1.8.7-2010.02 > b.text_field(:id, "session_email").set("test")
=> :missing_value
ree-1.8.7-2010.02 > b.text_field(:id, "session_password").set("test")
Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: Unable to locate TextField,
using :id and "session_password"
from /Users/ken/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8....@rails-2.3.8/gems/
safariwatir-0.4.0/lib/safariwatir/scripter.rb:661:in `execute'
from /Users/ken/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8....@rails-2.3.8/gems/
safariwatir-0.4.0/lib/safariwatir/scripter.rb:303:in `focus'
from /Users/ken/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8....@rails-2.3.8/gems/
safariwatir-0.4.0/lib/safariwatir.rb:525:in `set'
from (irb):25

I have the following gems:
watirgrid (0.0.9)
safariwatir (0.4.0)
firewatir (1.8.0)


Am I the only one who is running into this issue?

Try this instead:

b.password(:id, "session_password").set "test"
