I have an ObjectMap Class

class ObjectMap  
#login  
def login;$ie.link(:text, ‘Log in’);end  
def user\_name;$ie.text\_field(:name, /userid/);end  
def password;$ie.text\_field(:name, /password/);end  
end

I have navigation and utility methods held in modules

i.e.  
module Login  
@map = ObjectMap.new  
def login(username=‘aidy’, password=‘123’)  
@map.login.click  
@map.user\_name.set(username)  
@map.password.set(password)  
end  
end

and test classes

class A\_TEST  
def initialize

```
.....
login
.....

```

end  
end

However, when I try to run the test class, I get a “test failed: stack  
level too deep”.  
Not so sure why, Could anyone please help?

Kind Regards

Usually this means you have a deep recursive call somewhere, possibly  
accidentally in this case?
