Watir related question

Ruby

hi,

I have written the piece of code which is given in
“http://watirwebdriver.com/mobile-devices/”

require ‘watir-webdriver’
require ‘webdriver-user-agent’
driver = UserAgent.driver(:browser => :chrome, :agent => :iphone,
:orientation => :landscape)
browser = Watir::Browser.new driver
browser.goto ‘tiffany.com’

Once this page got opened, I started to print the elements type

b.elements.each do |e|
puts e.class
end

It’s printing

Watir::HTMLElement
Watir::HTMLElement
Watir::HTMLElement
Watir::HTMLElement
.
.
.
.

all elements are Watir::HTMLElement, If this is the case, how can I
locate the element in using my code?

Right click the target element in your browser and click “inspect” to
look at things like the class, id, name, etc. Then select that element
with code like: b.text_field(class: ‘thisclass’, id: ‘thisid’)

If you want to see the html class of an element, not its Ruby Class; use
e.attribute_value(“class”)

hi Joel,

You taught me new way of identifying the elements,

I know b.text_field(:id,‘adc’) but I don’t know b.text_field(id: ‘adb’)
this way of identifying, thank you so much, this works for me.

hi Joel,

It’s working perfectly in scite editor, But If I paste this line in my
Eclipse
throws the syntax error

10: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’

b.span(class: “ui-btn-text”,text: “Get InstantQuote”).when_present.click

Any idea how to resolve this?

5

that form of hash syntax started with 1.9.2, so you’re probably using an
older parser within Eclipse.

6

Is there any way to change this Joel?

This is Great!!!

Use the rocket syntax if you’re using an old parser

{ class: “ui-btn-text”,text: “Get InstantQuote” }

becomes

{ :class => “ui-btn-text”, :text => “Get InstantQuote” }
