Version 2.5.5 with Firefox driver does not find input fields on form about hsac-fitnesse-fixtures HOT 9 CLOSED

It stopped working. Does nothing happen, or is an error shown?
Is the 'fieldname' the text of a label, or a technical selector, or the text of of a table heading, or ...?

from hsac-fitnesse-fixtures.

Nothing happens, and there is no error. The next step times out waiting for a change.
The field is:
<input class="text" type="text" name="fieldname" tabindex="1" size="20" autocomplete="off">

I notice that the text tag is not terminated. I am fixing that to see if it makes a difference.

I don't see the field in your comment? Maybe you need to add some pre-formatting to the post.

Can you try with 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT (I would potentially expect more problems there, but it is using a newer Selenium).

I did a quick check with a page, HsacExamples.SlimTests.BrowserT.ests.ScriptTest, its 'enter as' still works in firefox for 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT

The text tag is fixed, above.
What is the URL or download procedure for 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT ?

from hsac-fitnesse-fixtures.

I built 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT, and still have no luck with "enter as" on my page.
Fixing the page, and trying HsacExamples.SlimTests.BrowserTests.ScriptTest...

Did the page work with a previous version? Selecting an input based on its name attribute has not worked since 2.4.0. Can you try:
|enter|${value}|as|name=fieldname|

Input tags don't need to be terminated in HTML5, since they're not allowed to have content. Silly, but that should make no difference.

(I hope you meant that name selection has worked since 2.4.0.)
jumping for joy-
It worked when I changed my test to:
|enter|${value}|as|name=fieldname|

This is great - thanks.

from hsac-fitnesse-fixtures.

Before 2.4.0 you did not have to use the name= prefix to select by name.

The reason this is now required is that I want to define my tests using texts/words as visible to the end-user, and the name is not visible.
Any chance your input has an associated label, or is in a table row where another cell is a th, or...
How would an end-user refer to this input field? How do people using a screenreader know what to put in this input? The fixture attempts to allow you to refer to the input in your tests using these concepts.

from hsac-fitnesse-fixtures.

My input is indeed associated with a label, and the script finds the field through the visible label.
I found the behavior changed when upgrading from an old version of HSAC.
Thanks.
