How to locate twitter login button using Watir and Ruby?


I'm trying to locate the twitter login button using a gem called Watir.

This is the button markup:

<button type="submit" class="submit EdgeButton EdgeButton--primary EdgeButtom--medium">Log in</button>

This is my code:

# Click Login Button
browser.button(:class => ['submit' 'EdgeButton' 'EdgeButton--primary' 'EdgeButtom--medium'],:tag_name=>"button").click

I receive this error:

Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: timed out after 30 seconds, > waiting for Watir::Button: located: false; > {:class=>["submitEdgeButtonEdgeButton--primaryEdgeButtom--medium"], > :tag_name=>"button"}> to be located; Maybe look in an iframe?> > C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/watir-6.10.3/lib/watir/elements/element.rb:664:in > rescue in element_call' > C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/watir-6.10.3/lib/watir/elements/element.rb:680:in >element_call' > C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/watir-6.10.3/lib/watir/elements/element.rb:125:in > click' C:/Users/bnbih/Desktop/ig_bot/auto_follow_tw.rb:34:instart' > C:/Users/bnbih/Desktop/ig_bot/auto_follow_tw.rb:77:in <top > (required)>' > C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/ocra-1.3.10/bin/ocra:1211:in >load' > C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/ocra-1.3.10/bin/ocra:1211:in > <top (required)>' C:/Ruby24-x64/bin/ocra:23:inload' > C:/Ruby24-x64/bin/ocra:23:in `'


Solution

  • You can locate using text, write the following code,

    browser.button(text: 'Log in').click
    

    If you still want to use class locator then

    b.button(class: 'submit EdgeButton EdgeButton--primary EdgeButtom--medium').click
