Hi,

describe(‘posting a message’, () => {
it(‘saves the message with the author information’, () => {

  const message ='feature tests often hit every level of the TDD Testing Pyramid';
  const author = 'username';

  browser.url('/');
  browser.setValue('input[id=author]', author);
  browser.setValue('textarea[id=message]', message);
  browser.click('input[type=submit]');
  assert.include(browser.getText("#messages"), author);
  assert.include(browser.getText("#messages"), message);

I would like to ask how the praogram knows that the value of id author and message are send to id messages ?

Thanks for your comments.

Hi, I think that’s a mistake in the answer. The correct answer should be using browser.getText('#author') to check the author string.
