[wtr-general] Re: :after? and :before? methods not supported for all elements?
I just had a case where I wanted to check needed fields, for example there's a form something like this: now if i press submit, then the form will have an error message something like "all necessary fields need to be filled", and the form will be something like this: * * So i wanted to make some helper method in my test to check if those * marks are there and saw that there is a method called :before? and :after? and thought that i could use them: def field_needed?(el1, el2) span(:after? => el1, :before? => el2).exists? end That actually seemed to work, but i wanted to make it even better and implement :between? to Watir::Element, when I noticed that it doesn't seem to work with at least text_fields (didn't try anything else, but i'm also suspecting that the problem seem to exist with Watir::InputElement).

I think that i've seen that beforeText and afterText are the methods, which doesn't seem to work correctly, maybe youre confusing with these? Also, no comments or any other indications that :before? or :after? is broken in current Watir source code either: http://github.com/bret/watir/blob/master/watir/lib/watir/element.rb > > > In other words - it works okay with span, but not with input field.

I've never actually used :after? or :before? either. We are still reporting issues in Jira, which does need some maintenance soon.

Then this :after? usage looks like a bug. Zeljko, do we still use jira for that?

Wiki should be up to date. If something is wrong, please fix it. If you need any help with the wiki, just let me know. These are the pages that mention :after? http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Watir+Methods+Supported+by+HTML+Element http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/How+and+What http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Ways+Available+To+Identify+HTML+Element At http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Watir+Methods+Supported+by+HTML+Elementyou can mark elements that work with :after?.

Forgot to mention that it doesn't matter if you use comma or a hash in this case - result is the same.

[wtr-general] Re: :after? and :before? methods not supported for all elements?
That's what was my question - is it expected behaviour that text_field should not be accessed this way. If you look here http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Ways+Available+To+Identify+HTML+Element then there is an example of using :after? (although not :before?, though this is also available), but if you look here http://pettichord.com/watirtutorial/docs/watir_cheat_sheet/WTR/Methods%20supported%20by%20Element.html then there isn't anything related with :after? or :before?. So i don't know :-) Maybe these pages are out of date, but nevertheless :after? and :before? are there in Watir::Element and they work with span, for example. You can easily try this simple html: span1 And then this Ruby code: require 'watir' b = Watir::IE.attach(:url, /blah/) puts b.span(:after? => b.text_field(:id => 'text1')).html puts b.span(:after?, b.text_field(:id, 'text1')).html # expecting to find text_field#text2 puts b.text_field(:after? => b.text_field(:id => 'text1')).html And the output for this code is this: span1 span1 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/locator.rb:127:in `after?': wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) (Argumen tError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ locator.rb:127:in `send' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ locator.rb:127:in `match?' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ locator.rb:112:in `locate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ locator.rb:110:in `each' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ locator.rb:110:in `locate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ locator.rb:108:in `catch' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ locator.rb:108:in `locate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ locator.rb:105:in `each' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ locator.rb:105:in `locate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ container.rb:742:in `locate_input_element' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ input_elements.rb:5:in `locate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ element.rb:49:in `assert_exists' from (eval):2:in `html' from C:/projects/aplikatsioonid/ui-tests/blahhh.rb:9 In other words - it works okay with span, but not with input field. Is there anywhere most up to date documentation so everyone would know if it's supported or not? If there is some outdated documentation, can it be deleted from the web? Anyway, it would be great if it worked with every element.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: :after? and :before? methods not supported for all elements?
I've never needed to do this type of access for text_field container.text_field(:after? => (element)) is Watir supposed to conform to this syntax? have you tried a comma instead of hash? container.text_field(:after?, (element)) yeah, looking at the code it appers: in span we use TaggedElementLocator while the text_field uses InputElementLocator and they both use diff def match? implementations. Can you provide the html you test against? (well, a relevant snippet) and if indeed this syntax should be the way to access textfield then please open an issue marekj Watirloo: Semantic Page Objects in UseCases http://github.com/marekj/watirloo/ Support Watir Project http://pledgie.com/campaigns/2982 On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 8:53 AM, Jarmo Pertman wrote: > Sorry, stacktrace got truncated.
