I'm on Ubuntu Linux/Firefox 13 and WATIR.
I have a Webpage that contains links to about 16 iframes.. all linked like
this....
Clicking "11" will bring up an iframe that has both a name and id equal to
"page_11"
<a href="javascript:nextPage(8);">9</a>
<a href="javascript:nextPage(9);">10</a>
<a href="javascript:nextPage(10);">11</a>
<a href="javascript:nextPage(11);">12</a>
Clicking the number will put the iframe into the page and on the page is
another box for comments (main page)
Here's what I ** DO ** know because I have verified it by the script. The
page will come up showing all 16 links. I have my WATIR script to click the
11th link. It does that, it fills in the text boxes, it will then go back
to the main page by using the browser.frame(:index,0).locate method and
fill in the comments box which resides below the place where the iframes
are filled in.
None of this is a problem.
The problem is trying to get the script to then click the link labeled
"12". (It needs to go through these iframes sequentially)
It can't find the links on the main page again (or buttons for that
matter). I end up with ....
[remote server]
file:///tmp/webdriver-profile20120730-32067-1haylz3/extensions/[email protected]/components/command_processor.js:5780:in
`unknown': Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted
with (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::ElementNotVisibleError)
My script (the relevant parts) are below....
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir-webdriver'
require "webdriver-user-agent"
require 'headless'
require 'thread'
#Firefox 13 path below. Doesn't work with 14
Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox.path =
'/home/janie/Downloads/firefox/firefox'
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile.native_events = false;
browser=Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile
browser.goto("http://myurl/test";)
browser.link(:text,"11").click
browser.frame(:name,"page_11").locate
puts "Text fields "
puts browser.frame(:name,"page_11").text_fields.length
$counter=0
#This if loop works like a champ
if browser.frame(:id,"page_11").text_fields.length > 0
puts "Found and iterating through Text Boxes"
while $counter < browser.frame(:id, "page_11").text_fields.length do
browser.frame(:id, "page_11").text_field(:index,
$counter).set("Robot_Test")
end
end
#Now go back to the main page
browser.frame(:index,0).locate
#The below works too so I know I am back on the top level/parent
if browser.text.include? "This is the main page"
puts "--> Test Passed. Found the test string"
else
puts "--> Test Failed! Could not find:"
end
#Now we are back in the main page again
browser.text_field(:name,"COMMENTS").set("ROBOT_TEST")
#The above works great
#And now the problem.....
browser.link(:text,"12").click
Kaboom! I get the can't find element error above.
For some reason, it no longer sees the links on the main page or buttons.
Any idea what could be causing this? I have been searching for this all day
and this about the ONLY thing left before I can run this script everything
else works great.
Does anyone know how to get around this behavior in Watir?
Many thanks!
