watir-webdriver-0.6.4 text_field无法设置日语字符

Question

I have been using watir-webdriver-0.6.4 and chrome browser to test my webpages.

Below is my code slice

@admin_browser.text_field(:name, "member[name]").set "そん"

It works fine if I replace "そん" with English characters, but with this code it behaves like this:

As you can see it changes into "]".

I ever searched in Japanese Google and they said I should use .value = "そん" instead of .set "そん" . But sadly this still doesn't work.

PS The ruby version is ruby 1.9.3p429. gem update watir-webdriver said nothing to update, so I believe watir-webdriver is the latest. I just downloaded the latest webdriver from here . My os is windows7 32bits.

PS again:

I just tested it on firefox and it works perfectly. Besides, I remember this code ever worked fine on chrome about a week ago and until just now I didn't update my ruby, watir-webdriver or chromedriver. So maybe the cause is the update of my chrome browser? I'll download an earlier version of chrome and try again.

Answer 1

Problem solved, a matter of Chrome version. I installed Chrome 29.0.1547.62 and all works fine. I guess this is a bug of latest chrome or the interface has been changed and the chromedriver developer is not noticed
