The snippet is direct from that API doc and seems to imply that I can pass
2 parameters in. What does the error "ArgumentError: wrong number of
arguments (2 for 1)" mean? Is this just a bug in this API?
Once I've located a button, "button.fire_event 'click'" does work to click
the button. So does 'onclick' instead of 'click'. I guess what is unclear
to me is what exactly Watir's fire_event will take for the event_name
parameter. Is event_name something from Watir or is it what I can see when
Firebug is logging events in the Firebug Console? Or something else?
I can try to send 'onclick', 'true', but that gives the same error:
irb(main):015:0> button.fire_event 'onclick', 'true'
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)
from
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.5.5/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:246:in
`fir
_event'
from (irb):15
from C:/Ruby/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
These are the Firebug events I'm talking about.
