[wtr-general] Can't .click an a in watir-webdriver

2012-12-04 Thread Nigel Smith
First off: I'm using twitter bootstrap to create a JS modal. When the modal 
pops up, I can close it by (mouse) clicking on the following element:

a class=btn href=javascript:void(0); data-dismiss=modalClose/a

The problem is, I can't do a .click on that element using watir-webdriver - 
it just blocks indefinitely. I can fire an onclick event, but that causes 
other issues. 

Any ideas why .click doesn't work? Any pointers on how to investigate whats 
going on?

Looks like tonight its 2/2 to me for causing the issue ... 

I had a closer look at the code, and got a suspicion that maybe I was not 
clicking the right object. I went to the twitter bootstrap examples page 
and ran a similar test, and it worked fine. So, I did a more explicit 
selection for the element I was after, and surprise surprise found that the 
click() was working fine.

We've got a few of those modals declared in the same page, and I guess I 
was not selecting the right one to call click() on...

Thanks for getting back so quickly Željko. Cheers.
