setValue exits with { '0': undefined }

[xrado]

.type('#email','info@example.com') works just fine, but if I replace it with .setValue('#email', 'info@example.com') outputs { '0': undefined } and exits the execution

tested with phantomjs and chrome

Thanks for your report. I´ve checked it & yes, you are right, this method calls something internally that does not work correctly, will be fixed in the next release.

Hi, is there any news on this being fixed @asciidisco ? I'm trying to find a way to select a value in a select box but using setValue is throwing the error mentioned above.

Is there an alternative method to selecting a dropdown value?

[asciidisco]

Ah sorry, I totally forgot about this one. I´m really sorry :/ I´m giving a high priority on my list & get back to you asap.

Since this is still open, I assume that it hasn't been addressed yet. However, I think I have found a workaround for it. This is more directed to @teneightfive ...

Lets say you have:

<select id="myselect">
  <option value="one">One</option>
  <option value="two">Two</option>
  <option value="three">Three</option>
</select>

And you want to select the second option, "two". Do:

.click('#myselect')
.click('#myselect option[value="two"]')

That is what worked for me!

Edit: This currently won't work with FireFox.

Ran into this one yesterday while checking out DalekJS. My workaround was using the execute() method which executes a JavaScript function within the browser context.

So if you are using jQuery on the page you’re running the tests it is as simple as:

.execute(function () {
    $('#selector').val('');
})

Fixed in canary
