So while tooling around on some stuff, I was trying different ways to use selectors in conjunction with some array values. I came across something that I can't quite figure out.
I recreated it using http://automationpractice.com/index.php to be able to ask in general without need for people to be in my environment to emulate. So some details: Ruby version: ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x64-mingw32] Watir version: 6.11.0 Chromedriver version: 2.46.628402 I know I am not at the latest for Watir and Ruby, I've had to lock in these version. In anycase, at the url I mentioned above http://automationpractice.com/index.php I inspected the shopping cart element I noted that the element had a title of "View my shopping cart" and I copied the xpath of "//*[@id='header']/div[3]/div/div/div[3]/div/a" (double quotes changed to single The oddity that I am trying to figure out is this: @browser.element(title: "View my shopping cart").present? - evaluates true @browser.element(:title, "View my shopping cart").present? = evaluates true @browser.element("title" => "View my shopping cart").present? - evaluates true however, @browser.element(xpath: "//*[@id='header']/div[3]/div/div/div[3]/div/a").present? - evaluates true @browser.element(:xpath, "//*[@id='header']/div[3]/div/div/div[3]/div/a").present? - evaluates true @browser.element("xpath" => "//*[@id='header']/div[3]/div/div/div[3]/div/a").present? - evaluates *false* I tried this with some other elements to similar results @browser.button(:name, "submit_search").present? - true @browser.button(name: "submit_search").present? - true @browser.button("name" => "submit_search").present? -true @browser.button(xpath: "//*[@id='searchbox']/button").present? - true @browser.button(:xpath, "//*[@id='searchbox']/button").present? - true @browser.button("xpath" => "//*[@id='searchbox']/button").present? - false Can anyone enlighten me on what I am doing wrong?
