Re: Possible typecasting problem and anyone use Selenium/WebDriver with Beanshell?

Thanks for the response Alex. That's pointing me in the right direction.
Looks like it could be tricky to get working though. I tried your suggested
code, and it didn't quite work. No exception now, but it appears to be
caling the wrong signature / version of the method. Calling with object[0]
returns

[org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerElement@776c9cf9 -> unknown locator]

The other signatures, like the one mistakenly being called, generally are
for passing a WebElement object for manipulation by javascript. Trying to
call those versions fail with exception.

System.out.println(js.executeScript("return arguments[0].value;",d.findEle
ment(By.id("searchText"))));
// Error: EvalError: Error in method invocation: Method executeScript(
java.lang
.String, org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerElement ) not found in
class'org
.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver' : at Line: 3 : in file:
<unknown fil
e> : js .executeScript ( "return arguments[0].value;" , d .findElement ( By
.id
( "searchText" ) ) )

bsh % System.out.println(js.executeScript("return
arguments[0].value;",d.findEle
ment(By.id("searchText")),new Object[0]));
// Error: EvalError: Error in method invocation: Method executeScript(
java.lang
.String, org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerElement,
[Ljava.lang.Object; ) n
ot found in class'org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver' : at Line:

, d .
findElement ( By .id ( "searchText" ) ) , new Object [ 0 ] )
