Subject: Re: [Watin-users] TextField not being detected

it has to do with the input type; the new HTML 5 types are not in the old verison of Watin,a dn i haven't seen a newer , official release that directly supports the new types yet.


input type="email"



that's not recognized by watin, and you have to add a custom class which inherits watin to watch for it and the other new HTML5 input types instead.



here's how i might use that class to get/set a textbox extension class object :



 on this page for example they had input type="email"(which is unknown to the default watin)

 and input type="password",(which watin natively understands



  myIEBrowser.GoTo("https://SomeWebSite/Login/"<https://SomeWebSite/Login/>);

            //myIEBrowser.TextField(Find.ByName("username")).TypeText("lo...@so..."<mailto:lo...@so...>);

            myIEBrowser.ElementOfType<TextFieldExt>(Find.ByName("username")).TypeText(LoginUser);

            myIEBrowser.TextField(Find.ByName("password")).TypeText(LoginPass);



            myIEBrowser.Button(Find.ByName("submitButn")).Click();







and here's my extension class in c#;





using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using WatiN.Core;



namespace HPPWatin.DemographicsAutomation

{

    //html5 tags

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "text", Index = 0)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "password", Index = 1)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "textarea", Index = 2)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "hidden", Index = 3)]

    [ElementTag("textarea", Index = 4)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "email", Index = 5)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "url", Index = 6)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "number", Index = 7)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "range", Index = 8)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "search", Index = 9)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "color", Index = 10)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "textbox", Index = 11)]

    [ElementTag("input", InputType = "tel", Index = 12)]

    public class TextFieldExt : WatiN.Core.TextField

    {

        //public TextBox() : base() { }

        public TextFieldExt(DomContainer domContainer, WatiN.Core.ElementFinder finder) : base(domContainer, finder) { }

        public TextFieldExt(DomContainer domContainer, WatiN.Core.Native.INativeElement element) : base(domContainer, element) { }

        public static void Register()

        {

            Type typeToRegister = typeof(TextFieldExt);

            ElementFactory.RegisterElementType(typeToRegister);

        }

    }



}

I am using watin to automate logging on to this site and getting some data:

https://id.atlassian.com/login



Unfortunately watin doesn't detect the email address field (username) as a TextField and so I can't use TypeText to type in a username.



There are no problems when using the password field.



I can't see any obvious discrepencies between the way the two fields are created in the html:

<div class="field-group ">

<label for="username">Email address</label>

<input class="text full-width-field" type="email" name="username" id="username" autofocus  placeholder="Email address" maxlength=255/>

</div>



<div class="field-group ">

<label for="password">Password</label>

<input class="text full-width-field" type="password" name="password" id="password"  placeholder="Password"/>

</div>



Is there a reason why this wouldn't be detected as a TextField by watin?



Thanks for your help,

Ben
