The error message is saying that it can't find the text field with the
name 'q'. For some reason, it doesn't exist in the browser contained
by your variable ie. Are you sure that your browser is on the page
you think it is?
One way to troubleshoot this is with an irb session. Run your test
and when it fails, open an irb session in a command prompt. Then try
the following commands:
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.find(:title, /Google/)
ie.text_field(:name,'q').exists?
I've copied both of your scripts into an irb session and they ran
without any problems - even without the sleep commands (you shouldn't
need those). Try stepping through your scripts, line by line in irb
so you can watch what happens in with each step.
Hope this helps,
