Frame object always checked before you can use it.

Subject: [wtr-general] Creating Frame objects before a page with a frame exists
Hi,
Having trouble creating a frame object before a particular page
contains the object.
The framework contains an object repository which contains all the
objects and methods that act on a particular page.Using textfields,
links, buttons etc work fine, because this is not checked on the page
if it exists when the object is created.But when creating a frame
object, it is checked against the current page if the frame exists,
which does not allow you store the frame objects.
Below is an example-
class Videopage
def initialize(brow)
usrtxtfield = brow.frame(:id, "loginframe").text_field
(:id,"lgnId1")
srchtxtfield = brow.text_field(:id, "topQuery2")
end
#... other methods doing complex steps like login etc
end
Now the test code will require the above file.
require 'watir'
require 'watir/ie'
require 'Videopage' #--- object repository file
class Checktest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_thisframe
Watir::Browser.default = "ie"
mybrow = Watir::Browser.new
vid = Videopage.new(mybrow)
mybrow.goto("http://video.aol.com";)
mybrow.link(:text, "Sign In").click
sleep 5
end
end
This returns an error "in `locate': Unable to locate a frame using id
and loginframe. (Watir::Exception::UnknownFrameException)"
Is there a way to avoid the frame object from checking if the frame
exists on the page when it is being created?
Check only when doing an action on the frame or object within the
frame.
Want it to act like text_fields, buttons , links etc ....
The other way to store the frame object i found was, by using it as a
string.
Is there any other way ???
example -
txtfield = 'mybrow.frame(:id, "loginframe").text_field(:id, "lgnId1")'
eval(txtfield).set("newone")
Thanks,
Tony
