PageObject.register_widget :main_menu, MainTabsWidget , :ul
I have a page called landing page that uses the widget in the following manner....
class LandingPage
include PageObject
include PageObject::PageFactory
main_menu(:menu_tabs, :id => 'mainMenu')
def select_menu_item(item)
menu_tabs_element.go_to_tab_item item
end
end
This actually did work at one point. If you pass 'First' for select_menu_item, it will click to the page specified by first_link. If you specify 'Category/Subcat1' it will click on the category link and then subcat1.
Howerver, something changed. We are transition from watir-webdriver gem to watir (6.10) gem, and now the code gets the argument exeption
'ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1..2)'
This occurs when menu_tabs_element gets referenced in any way. I've run out of ideas to remedy this.
Stack Trace:
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1..2)

It is not clear to me which change in Watir would cause this issue. It seems more likely a change in Page-Object. At any rate, here are 2 solutions. Note that this was tested with Page-Object v 2.2.4.
Using Widgets
As pointed out by Alexis in Page-Object Issue 263, including page object accessor methods in widgets is not as straight forward as one would expect. In the MainTabsWidget class, instead of include PageObject, you need to do:
extend PageObject::Accessors # to get the accessor methods
attr_reader :platform # the accessor methods don't work without a platform
With this change, your page object should work.
Using Page Section
Page-Object has a page section feature that might better suit your needs. It simplifies some of the code (ie address the above issue).
You define a class to represent your main tabs section. Note that you do not need to register the section or have the multi-line setup as with Widgets.
class MainTabs
include PageObject
include PageObject::PageFactory
link(:first_link, :text => 'First')
link(:second_link, :text => 'Second')
link(:third_link, :text => 'Third')
link(:category_link, :text => 'Category')
link(:subcat1_link, :text => 'Subcat1')
link(:subcat2_link, :text => 'Subcat2')
def select_menu_item(tab_item)
items = tab_item.split /\//
items.each do |item|
case item
when 'First'
first_link
when 'Second'
second_link
when 'Third'
third_link
when 'Category'
category_link
when 'Subcat1'
subcat1_link
when 'Subcat2'
subcat2_link
end
end
end
end
The page object can simply become:
class LandingPage
include PageObject
include PageObject::PageFactory
page_section(:menu_tabs, MainTabs, :id => 'mainMenu')
end
The clicking of the menu would change to:
page.menu_tabs.select_menu_item('First')
(or you could continue to define a #select_menu_item method in LandingPage to avoid downstream changes)
