Question

I have this input of type “Submit” that Watir cannot see. I can identify it by ID, but it doesn’t turn up in browser.text_fields, or by any other idenfication method. The ID is dynamically generated so I cannot use it for testing. Any ideas on how to make this readable? I’m willing to change the WATiR source code if necessary.

<INPUT id=t8CPm value=Submit type=submit>

I have obviously tried text_field(:value, 'Submit') and text_field(:type, 'Submit'), and I get an “Unable to locate element” error.

Answer 1

Did you try treating it as a button element? Inputs of type submit are generally considered to be a button because the browser generally renders them that way.

try

 browser.button(:value, 'Submit').flash

and see if it works for you
