Watir Set value of input type="text"-CodePudding

I am trying to set an email into this span but I'm having trouble selecting it and updating it. The span id is created dynamically but the class is not

<div >

    <span id="foundation-text-input-3535" >Email*</span>

    <input type="text" aria-labelledby="foundation-text-input-3535" placeholder="" value="" autocomplete="off" data-qa="email_input"></div>

CodePudding user response：

it should be getting set via the input element, not the span, right?

browser.text_field(data_qa: 'email_input').set email_address

You can also use regular expressions as well if you need to locate things that way:

browser.span(id: /foundation-text-input/)
