watir-webdriver找不到或填写text_field

Question

I have a watir-webserver Ruby script I am developing, and I am having it first prompt the user for a username and password (with Ruby-Tk).

In any case, I can open the page with this code:

b = Watir::Browser.start 'https://connect.mypage.com/Home'

After that, I call the following:

t1=b.text_field(:id => 'ctl00_cphBody_txtUserName').when_present.set @entry1.textvariable

Nothing is filled in.

I have tried hard coding a name in for ctl00_cphBody_txtUsername, but that did not work either.

Using the Inspector in Firefox, the field is constructed as following:

<input name="ctl00$cphBody$txtUsername" id="ctl00_cphBody_txtUsername" class="firstFocus" maxlength="50" type="text">

The class of firstFocus is:

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            jQuery('.firstFocus').focus();
        });
    </script>

Answer 1

If I start the browser and open the page like below, I have no problems locating those two text_field's:

browser =  Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto 'https://connect.mypage.com/Home'

#Then, the first item actually has a class, so I use that
t1=browser.text_field :class => 'firstFocus'
t1.set @entry1.textvariable

Answer 2

The problem is that the locator is case-sensitive.

Notice that the id attribute value is "ctl00_cphBody_txtUsername" but the locator being used is "ctl00_cphBody_txtUserName". Due to the "N" not matching the "n", the element is never found, which is why the when_present times out.

Correcting the id in the locator will fix the issue:

t1=b.text_field(:id => 'ctl00_cphBody_txtUsername').when_present.set @entry1.textvariable
