private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver
{
Url = filename
};
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
Watcher_Changed(driver);
}
private void Watcher_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
driver.navigate().refresh(); // Can not use driver
}
I tried to use driver in another method using the above code but it does not work, what can I do to make it work?
You create driver as a local variable inside a method, this will only be accessible inside this method. To be a little more precise it is actually visible in the scope it is defined in, you should definitely read on that.
To make driver accessible to all functions you should either pass it around or better create it inside of the class your methods are in.
You can use sender. Something like this:
private void Watcher_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
var driver = sender as IWebDriver;//Or sender as ChromeDriver
driver.navigate().refresh();
}
You need however specify the FileSystemEventArgs as your second parameter. For example:
Watcher_Changed(driver , null);
null as it's second parameter, just to make the code compile-able.
ChromeDriver like this var driver = sender as ChromeDriver;IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriverI'm not sure but you can try using this
What you are doing is defining and declaring driver variable inside the scope of button click.so,it will not be accessible from any other method...
assuming you are calling watcher_changed function as watcher_changed(driver,"") else it will give you error
