Watin support for IE 9 - Part 2 (Specific)

Watin Runtime Version: v2.0.50727 Browser: IE 9

I have found a specific issue: BaseIEController.IE.Element(fieldname).Exists throws an Exception as under: "It's not possible to find the element because no element finder is available."

The fieldname here is a Regex for a link,开发者_如何学编程 a simple Regex where the Link's Id is passed. This works with IE 8.

I cannot use the Final Release of Watin 2.0 since the LogonHandler is not complete (not fully functional as mentioned in the Release Document. I have tried testing it as well).

Any idea on how I can get this Element thingy to work??

Thanks, K

Today I have upgraded to IE9 on my windows 2008 system and run all the 745 WatiN 2.x unittests and found no issues (accept for one dialog handling the javascript::return dialog fired by onbeforeunload event).

Let me know if you have more specific info/ code example will help too to reproduce the issue you reported.

Thank you for the response. Firstly, Awesome job with Watin :)

I am trying to run the test using VS2008 and IE 9. The goal is to Click a Link but before that I am verifying if the Link is exists. The Regex I use for this link is LnkSignIn = new Regex(".*linkSignIn$"); I then use BaseIEController.IE.Element(fieldname).Exists where the fieldname is an Attribute Constraint (in this case the Regex). This would return a true or false if the Link is found. If found, I then click the Link. Instead it returns the Error MyTestInitialize threw exception. WatiN.Core.Exceptions.WatiNException: WatiN.Core.Exceptions.WatiNException: It's not possible to find the element because no element finder is available.. at WatiN.Core.Element.WaitUntilExistsOrNot(Int32 timeout, Boolean waitUntilExists) ... This works just fine with IE 8. Further, I noticed that if I change Element to Link, it returns true. But since this is a generic method, I want to keep it as element. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks.
