TypeError: nil is not a symbol error when runing test.
Has anyone seen this error before? I have added the method that gives
me trouble below
Running the Class :
s_name=“ItemName”+Time.Now()
dc=CreateItem.new(s_name)
with the definition
class CreateItem< Test::Unit::TestCase
attr_accessor :s_name
s_name=“SH Test”
def setup
login(“Browser”)
end#setup
def initialize(name)
@s_name=name
end #def initialize(dc)
#~ #Test to create a Item
def test_createdc(name)
#@$browser.open(“https://index.html”)
@s_name=name
s
xpath="//div[@class='view
container]//label[contains(text(),‘#{s_name}’)]/…"
assert($browser.element?(xpath))
array=getElement(xpath)
#Assert that the element has been created, check for the name
of the item
getElementName(array,$s_name)
getCreatedbyName(array,$username)
end #createdc
end #class createitem

Post the exact exception report using copy-paste, because it will
include a backtrace, and the first line will give the line number where
the error occurred.
If this is inside a library, look at subsequent lines of the backtrace
until you find a line in your own source. Then indicate which line of
the source code this is.
If I had to guess where the problem is, I would say
getElementName(array,$s_name)
because you don’t appear to have initialised the global variable $s_name
to anything, and therefore this would be the same as
getElementName(array,nil)
(@s_name and $s_name are two completely different things)

You were right, I did not assign a value to the global variable
$username, so I did that and the test ran. Thank you very much.
