Can anyone help me with why this fails? Thanks in advance.
require 'selenium-webdriver'
class Find_element
def initialize @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox @driver.get "http://google.com"
end
def by_id #By ID - driver.find_element(:id,<elementID>) @driver.find_element(:id, "q")
puts "Page title is #{@driver.title}"
end
test = Find_element.new
test.by_id
end
from lib/findElementMethod.rb:11:in `by_id'
from lib/findElementMethod.rb:16:in `<class:Find_element>'
from lib/findElementMethod.rb:2:in `<top (required)>'
from -e:1:in `load'
from -e:1:in `<main>'
I cannot reproduce your error messages, but for me the
code results in a TimeOut error, because there is no element
with id='q'. Changing :id to :name works fine (or try with
an id that actually exists on the page).

Noticed that it dident worked so well when I entered an element that
dident exist.. How should i return that it not exists without resulting
code errors when i run the test?
@driver.find_element(:id, "q")
puts "Page title is #{@driver.title}"
end
test = Find_element.new
test.by_id
end
First, you have a misplaced `end' (the last one).

Thanks for your reply, so it should be as below?
...
puts "Page title is #{@driver.title}"
end
end
test = Find_element.new
test.by_id

I did a new try with below but it insists on running the method by_id
even if i not call it? Any ides?

I do not think it does. Try including statements like
"puts 'method by_id'" and "puts 'method by_name'"
in the respective method.
When I removed the space in def by_id it passed, it dident run the code
due to the syntax error in this method. (as i understands it)
#By ID - driver.find_element(:id,<elementID>) @driver.find_element (:id, "q")
You should remove the space before the argument parentheses
(it causes an error in Ruby 1.9.3).
@driver.find_element(:id, "q")
Thanks for your help, now it works!

Hi again, this is maybe a better way to do it? When you should test if
the element are available or not? Or how should you solve it?
require 'selenium-webdriver'
class Find_element
def initialize @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox @driver.get "http://google.com"
end
def page_title
if @driver.title
puts "Page title found: #{@driver.title}"
else
puts "Page title not found"
end
end
def by_id #By ID - driver.find_element(:id,<elementID>)
if @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfba")
puts 'Did find element with Id: gbqfba'
else
puts 'Did not find element with id gbqfba'
end
end
def by_name #By name - driver.find_element(:name,<element name>)
if @driver.find_element(:name, "q")
puts 'Did find element with Name: q'
else
puts 'Did not find element with Name: q'
end
end
end
test = Find_element.new
test.by_id
test.by_name
test.page_title
