"entry.1000001" is a textarea element not a text_field element. You used to be able to use text_field for both, now you have to specify the type you want. This code will do exactly what you want:
require 'watir' browser = Watir::Browser.new browser.goto 'bit.ly/watir-example' browser.text_field(name: "entry.1000000").set 'Watir' browser.textarea(name: "entry.1000001").set 'Watir' On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 10:39 AM, c w <cristina.wa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am a bit frustrated as this used to be working few years ago.
