So, I navigate to a page on my test site and define a bunch of variables as page objects, like so:
site_name = browser.text_field(:id, "sitename") site_url = browser.text_field(:id, "url") etc. ... I then navigate to a new page with a browser.goto. On the new page I define some additional variables, like so: campaign_name = browser.text_field(:id, "campname") etc. ... However, if I now want to get a site_name.value it turns out that it's empty. In some sense I can understand why this is the case, but in others I can't. Can someone explain the thinking behind the decision that led to Watir being built this way? I can easily switch my variable definitions to look like this: site_name = browser.text_field(:id, "sitename").value ... but that seems to rob me of a lot of the flexibility (and code readability) that Watir has to offer. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
