[Wtr-general] Long, strange field name issue
Hi all! I'm using the new Excel interface class to retrieve data from a spreadsheet for testing our web app. One field on our website is giving me fits. I've verified with IE Developer that the field is Business Income/Extra Expense/Rental Value_0 The line in my script (#126) that writes data to this field looks like this: ie.text_field(:name, Business Income/Extra Expense/Rental Value_0).set(account[bldgBI]) When my script gets to this point, I get the following error: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1166/./watir.rb:4054:in `doKeyPress': undefined method `length' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1166/./watir.rb:4026:in `set' from C:/WatirScripts/CreateQuotes.rb:126 from C:/WatirScripts/CreateQuotes.rb:76:in `each' from C:/WatirScripts/CreateQuotes.rb:76 Does anyone know if my problem is the length of the field name or if it's because it includes /'s? Is there any way around the problem? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! -Tiffany ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

Did you try it with single-quotes instead of double-quotes?

Re: [Wtr-general] Long, strange field name issue
Thanks so much for the suggestion and quick resonse, but I tried single quotes and got the same error. I've also tried finding the object using :class (not great since I may have multiple fields with the same class) and :title. When I used :class, I got the same error as before. When I used :title I got an error saying it was unable to locate the object. -Tiffany ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Long, strange field name issue
the exception is caused by the value you are trying to set account[bldgBI] being nil you can test is by doing this first puts oh no - its nil if account[bldgBI].nil? - Original Message - From: Tiffany Fodor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 11:04 am Subject: [Wtr-general] Long, strange field name issue Hi all!

Re: [Wtr-general] Long, strange field name issue
D'Oh! I was so focused on that field name that I didn't notice I forgot to update my script with the new name of that row in my spreadsheet. I was trying to enter a value that didn't exist in my hash. It works fine now. Thanks so much for your help and quick responses! -Tiffany ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
