I use:
self.txtLogin_element.when_present.set(email)
But when it executes I get a warning:
*** You are calling a method named set at C:/login_page.rb:12:in `specify_email'.
*** This method does not exist in page-object so it is being passed to the driver.
*** This feature will be removed in the near future.
How to specify a new variant with when_present
Variants:
self.txtLogin_element.when_present = email
self.txtLogin.when_present.set(email)
do not work.
Assuming that txtLogin_element is a text field (PageObject::Elements::TextField), there is no set method. The Page-Object gem sets text fields via the value= method instead. Therefore, to remove the warning, use:
self.txtLogin_element.when_present.value = email
If you have made the switch to Page-Object v2.0 and therefore Watir v6.0, when_present is no longer needed. Watir now waits for elements to be present before interacting with them. You can now simply do:
self.txtLogin_element.value = email
Which ultimately means that you can just use the methods generated by the accessor:
self.txtLogin = email
