Question

I’ve written the sample like in documentation:

var driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://google.com");

var query = driver.FindElement(By.Name("q"));
query.SendKeys("Cheese");

Console.WriteLine("Title is: " + driver.Title);

driver.Quit();

But I always get Unable to find element with name == q error.

The IE9 is opened, google page is loaded, I can read driver.Title, but cannot find any element by name, by selector, or by id.

Any thoughts?

UPD:

Terrible thing is that this code works on my desktop (Windows 7, VS 2010 Express) and doesn’t work in virtual machine (VmWare player, Windows 2008 R2 SP 1 trial, VS 2010 Ultimate trial) 🙁

And it doesn’t work there for custom dummy <input name="q" /> page

UPD 2:

The code works for Firefox driver, but doesn’t for IE.

SOLUTION:

Seems like the site should be in “Trusted” for Windows server installation. I’m not sure why, but adding google.com to trusted solved an issue
