[wtr-general] Switching To Frames in Watir-WebDriver

2011-10-06 Thread Jeff Nyman
I just wanted to check if it's a known issue that switchTo.frame does
not appear to work with Watir-WebDriver. This does appear to work with
Selenium-WebDriver.

Here's the command I try in Selenium that does work:

  @browser.switch_to.frame(ModalDialogContent)

I try a slightly modified verison of the command for Watir:

  @browser.driver.switch_to.frame(ModalDialogContent)

This does not seem to work at all.

Here ModalDialogContent is the name of a frame within the browser
window when my application starts up. I'm early enough in framework
design that I can switch to Selenium if need be but I wanted to make
sure I was doing this correctly in Watir before I did so.

Any thoughts or suggetsions are most welcome.

Watir has its own API for dealing with frames:

  @browser.frame(:id = ModalDialogContent).button.click

If you reach into the WebDriver API and switch manually, watir-webdriver
will get confused.
