Rahul,
it looks like you are testing using Cucumber, and it's really a Cucumber
question.
It looks like it should work, instance variables in Cucumber live for a
duration of one scenario, if I'm not mistaken.
If you want, you can try to switch from Ruby instance variables to class
variables: @@successful_page, etc. Class variables will live during an
entire Cucumber run.
If it does not work, post an entire stack trace to a Cucumber mailist,
please.

Hi Guys,
I have got a problem that I run into frequently using the page object
pattern for Watir and was wondering if anyone could help.
I have a booking page on which a user could click book button to book
an event. If the user is eligible for the booking, a Succesful booking
page is returned and if not then Requirement not met page is returned.
Currently following the page object pattern I have different page
classes for each page. So my code goes like this:
My feature file:
Scenario 1:
When I book event #(member eligible)
Then Successful booking page should be displayed
Scenario 2:
When I book event #(member not eligible)
Then Requirement not met page should be displayed
My Ruby file:
When "I book an event" do
@booking_page.book_event
end
Then "Successful booking page should be displayed" do
@successful_page.should be_displayed
Then "Requirement not met page should be displayed" do
@requirement_not_met_page.should be_displayed
end
My book_event method that evaluates the page to be returned is like
this:
def book_event
book_button.click
if @browser.url =~ /requirementNotMet/
@requirement_not_met_page=Pages::WhiteLabel::Community::RequirementNotMetPage.new(@browser)
else
@successful_page=Pages::WhiteLabel::Community::SuccessfulBookingPage.new(@browser)
end
end
Now this does not seem to work and I get method not defined for Nil
Class error. So I guess in the book_event method, the page objects
from teh two classes are not being assigned to the variables.
Any ideas how I can do this?
Thanks in advance
