Being new to the world of Watir and Cucumber, I am currently in the process of running an automation script to create Live IDs. The link that I want to click on the webpage is labeled "New" and it should take me to a form where I can add a new contact for my Live account.
<ul class="c_cc" role="presentation" styple="overflow:visible;">
<li class="c_sm c_mcp" id = "new">
<a id href="#" class="c_nobdr t_prs">
<span class="is_c" dir="ltr" style="padding-right: 5px;">
<img class="is_img" src="https://p.pfx.ms/is/invis.gif" onload="this.onload=null;$Do.when('$IS.Init',0,this);" style="width:26px;height:26px;background-position:-1px -1px;background-image:url('https://p.pfx.ms/h/command4.png');" alt="New contact" title />
</span>
"New"
</a>
<span class="c_ms"></span>
</li>
</ul>
Below is the watir code snippet that I wrote to click on the "New" link:
@browser.div(:id, "c_header").div(:id, "c_cb0").ul(:class, "c_cc").span(:text, "is_c").when_present.click
However, executing this code resulted in the following error:
Watir::Wait::TimeoutError: timed out after 30 seconds, waiting for {:id=>"is_c", :tag_name=>"span"} to become present
Subsequently, I modified the code as follows:
@browser.div(:id, "c_header").div(:id, "c_cb0").ul(:class, "c_cc").span(:text, "New").when_present.click
Unfortunately, this revised code did not successfully click on the "New" link, preventing the appearance of the next form and consequently halting the progress of the remaining code execution. Can anyone provide insight or a solution to resolve this issue?
I later realized that a new window was popping up, which caused the element to be unidentifiable in the previous window. Appreciate the help from everyone who contributed their input.
