I’m writing a test in Mac via Ruby 1.9.2-p136 using safariwatir 0.4.0<\/p>\n

So, I have a link on the page<\/p>\n

Add Content\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
which is located inside of the frame “main” and this frame is located inside of the other frame “content”<\/p>\n
I need to click this link and go to another page, but I can’t because when I use<\/p>\n
@browser.frame(:name,’content’).frame(:name,’main’).link(:text, ‘Add Content’).click<\/strong><\/p>\n
then the link is highlighted, but after that when ‘click method’ is called in safariwatir api I get the following error:<\/p>\n
undefined method `is_frame?’ for nil:NilClass<\/strong><\/p>\n
If I use xpath like this:<\/p>\n
@browser.frame(:name,’content’).frame(:name,’main’).link(:xpath, ‘\/\/a[text()=”Add Content”]’).click<\/strong><\/p>\n
then the link is highlighted too, but nothing happens (there is no error, but an another page is not appeared)<\/p>\n
this commands return<\/p>\n
puts @browser.frame(:name,’content’).frame(:name,’main’).link(:xpath, ‘\/\/a[text()=”Add Content”]’).exist? => true<\/em><\/p>\n
puts @browser.frame(:name,’content’).frame(:name,’main’).link(:xpath, ‘\/\/a[text()=”Add Content”]’).href => javascript:Dashboard.set(‘select-template-category’);document.forms[0].action=’\/qa7\/DashboardAdminAction.do’;document.forms[0].submit()<\/em><\/p>\n
puts @browser.frame(:name,’content’).frame(:name,’main’).link(:xpath, ‘\/\/a[text()=”Add Content”]’).title => Add more items to your dashboard<\/em><\/p>\n
puts @browser.frame(:name,’content’).frame(:name,’main’).link(:xpath, ‘\/\/a[text()=”Add Content”]’).text => Add Content<\/em><\/p>\n
puts @browser.frame(:name,’content’).frame(:name,’main’).link(:xpath, ‘\/\/a[text()=”Add Content”]’).html => Add Content<\/em><\/p>\n
Could you explain me what is wrong or this is a bug of safariwatir ?<\/p>\n
Thanks, Alexey<\/p>\n
