Method: PageObject::Accessors#text_field

Defined in:
lib/page-object/accessors.rb

#text_field(name, identifier = {:index => 0}, &block) ⇒ Object

adds four methods to the page object - one to set text in a text field, another to retrieve text from a text field, another to return the text field element, another to check the text field’s existence.

Examples:

text_field(:first_name, :id => "first_name")
# will generate 'first_name', 'first_name=', 'first_name_element',
# 'first_name?' methods

Parameters:

  • the (String) —

    name used for the generated methods

  • identifier (Hash) (defaults to: {:index => 0}) —

    how we find a text field.

  • optional —

    block to be invoked when element method is called
