Public API #26

Closed enkessler closed 12 years ago

enkessler commented 13 years ago

I am guessing that part of an adapter fulfilling the public API is passing all of the adapter non-specific specs regardless of which adapter is used? I was making some Autoit specs and when I switched the default adapter to :autoit any spec that located elements by :id failed. While :id is a valid locator that will work with the :autoit adapter, it's meaning is not the same as for the :win_ffi adapter and as such it cannot currently be used in the same way across adapters.

In particular, the TextField specs fail because they have "textField" listed as the :id which lines up with the AutomationID used by :win_ffi. The :id used by :autoit, however, is a number which changes every time the control is created and as such is problematic to practically use as an identifier.

as mentioned in other issue - :id is not part of public API. I reverted the specs to work correctly with AutoIt too: https://github.com/jarmo/RAutomation/commit/ef682a86db16044a1838abe5a76138547bad50e9
