In the project on which I add tests, I have some elements complicated to "get". The html of my textarea : <div class="quote"> <div class="clearfix"> <div class="icon"></div> <div class="text"> <span class="yui3-widget yui3-inputwidget yui3-textareawidget yui3-textareawidget-focused" style=""> <span class="yui3-textareawidget-content"> <textarea name="" placeholder=""></textarea> </span> </span> </div> <div class="author"> (...) other text_field </div> </div> </div> </div> For the moment, I use this line to set value @browser.element(:css => ".quote textarea").send_keys "test" In PageObject, I

As I understand it, this question is really only relevant when performing web test automation using Chrome browser due to the manner in which a click event is implemented with Selenium Webdriver and Chromedriver. To preface, I use and am aware of finding an element through the use of the Watir element function "present?", which as I understand is essentially a combination of "visible?" and "exists?".

I'm running tests in Ruby Mine 2.7.1 using Page-Object + Rspec. Environment: Windows 7 x64, Ruby 1.9.3 p551, IE 11. Gems: watir , rspec , bundler , page-object When i run tests in Chrome or Firefox everything is ok. But when i try to run them in IE, the IE window with correct page gets opened and after that i get an error specified in Subject: "Watir::Exception::NoMatchingWindowFoundException: browser window was closed" The point is that the browser is actually open at that moment and shows a correct page. (See the screencast showing what happens: http://screencast.com/t/06prRy3OMLM ) Test

I have a drop down with multiple options. Whenever you choose an option, the page reloads with data specific with that option. Currently I'm using select.list(:name, strg).set(value) and it does that part just fine, but it does not reload the page with the specific data. Anyone know how to help. When i watch it in action, it doesn't select the option either, but my logs show that it does.Thanks. Edit: Got it to work with fire_event("onclick") Without seeing the page, my guess is that you have to fire JavaScript event. Something like: select.list(:name, strg).set(value) select.list(:name, strg)

Watir noob here. I'm attempting to connect to and manipulate a newly spawned browser tab, but am a little confused about how to recognize the new tab. Here's what I have: Windows 7 (32 bit) IE 10 Ruby 1.9.3-p392/TDM-32.4.5.2 LOCAL GEMS watir (4.0.2 x86-mingw32) watir-classic (3.6.0) watir-webdriver (0.6.3) Basic gist of the Script: require 'rubygems' require 'Watir' ie=Watir::Browser.new ... First part of the script on the original browser tab is completed. The original browser tab generates a second browser tab, which I need to access. I've read a response somewhere that I need to link to the
