PORuby beginner trying to call a method from another class in Ruby?

Body
copied!<p>I am trying to get the below working. Not sure where I am failing. I receive the following error:</p> <p>1) Error:</p> <pre><code>test_google(Google): NoMethodError: undefined method `new' for Method:Class google.rb:15:in `setup' </code></pre> <p>I am new to ruby, so this is pretty 101. Can someone explain to me my errors and why so I can understand. Thanks!</p> <pre><code>require "test/unit" require "selenium-webdriver" require "json" require "time" require_relative "methods" class Google < Test::Unit::TestCase def setup @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox @base_url = "https://www.google.com/" @accept_next_alert = true @driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 30 @verification_errors = [] @search = Method.new() end def teardown @driver.quit assert_equal [], @verification_errors end def test_google @driver.get(@base_url + "/") @search.search end end class Method def search @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfq").clear @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfq").send_keys "this is a test" @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfb").click @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfb").click end end </code></pre> <p>I changed the class name:</p> <pre><code>require "test/unit" require "selenium-webdriver" require "json" require "time" class Google < Test::Unit::TestCase def setup @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox @base_url = "https://www.google.com/" @accept_next_alert = true @driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 30 @verification_errors = [] @search = Suber.new() end def teardown @driver.quit assert_equal [], @verification_errors end def test_google @driver.get(@base_url + "/") @search.search end end class Suber def search @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfq").clear @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfq").send_keys "this is a test" @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfb").click @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfb").click end end </code></pre> <p>Now I am not exactly sure how to tackle setting @driver within my 'Suber' class. I assumed it would just work, but it throws: </p> <p>NoMethodError: undefined method <code>find_element' for nil:NilClass google.rb:37:in</code>search' google.rb:25:in `test_google'</p> <p>: /</p>
