Watin element finder error

I am getting the below error when I try and find an element. My find method below.

public Element FindMenuItem(string menuItemName)
{
    var menuItem = Element(Find.ByText(menuItemName));
    var cells = ((ElementContainer<Element>)(menuItem)).TableCells;
    return cells.Count > 0 ? cells.First() : menuItem;
}

The error:

WatiN.Core.Exceptions.WatiNException: It's not possible to find the element because no element finder is available.

Solution

  • This is a known bug with Watin, get the latest build and it should be fixed. Link to bug below.
