This is high on my list to make this work. Many people expect it to work 
this way and are surprised when it doesn't.

Last week i paired with Elisabeth Hendrickson and Andy Tinkham and we 
started working on what it would take to implement this.

The support for working with events in Ruby's WIN32OLE library is extremely 
limited.

You can take a look at the code for IE#capture_events -- this pretty much 
pushes the limits of what you can do with events using the current WIN32OLE 
implementation. Undoubtedly, .Net gives much better support for COM.

It would be really cool if someone were to beef up the WIN32OLE library to 
provide better support here -- this would require some C programming.

Go to the page with 'Yes' button.
Click 'View > Source' in IE.

If you can find something like this: <input type="submit" value="Yes" > 
then this will click it: ie.button(:value,'Yes').click

If your button is JavaScript pop up, then go here for help:

My 2 cents...for whatever it is worth.

 

I started using Python's PAMIE framework to automate.  However, the
support was sporadic (the guy working on it was very busy and couldn't
devote enough time to support the framework).  Eventually I ran into a
roadblock with popups (ironic given the volume of messages on this
subject)--the framework had not evolved enough to support this activity
yet.  I also looked at SAMIE (way too cryptic), IEUnit (same roadblock
as PAMIE) as well as a bout 15 other frameworks all boasting to have
what I needed at a price.  Enter Ruby.  WATIR is by far the most
complete web testing framework out here--that doesn't cost an arm and a
leg.  And this forum is the most active and well supported that I have
seen.  You can post a question and is just a short period of time get
someone (most of the time the architects of the framework!) who will
steer you in the right direct, give you a work around to get over any
roadblocks, or add it to the framework if it doesn't currently exist.
That is the reason I switched and tell everyone interest (and those not)
that Ruby is the way to go!  Save your money, get WATIR!

Bret, Jonathan:

 

Thanks for these notes. I personally like Ruby's object oriented
approach.

 

The only 'flip' I found about ruby that I find is the relatively scarce

resources / documentation when compared to Python. Almost all searches

point to a different version of the 'pragmatic programmer'. Are there
other

online resources that you guys could point me to? For example, when
trying

to do something with the Win32 API callbacks, I couldn't find much help.

 

Thanks

I take it, you are talking about page definitions, declarative style. I 
was thinking to write little something for our project that would allow 
me to declare UI elements in various pages, such as:

test/watir/gui_maps/login.yml :

url : /login.aspx
user_name : @ie.text_field(:id, 'user_name')
password : @ie.text_field(:id, 'password')
submit_button : @ie.button(:id, 'submit')

test/watir/test_login.rb

ie = IE.new
GuiMaps.set_app_root APP_ROOT_URL
...
# go to login page and perform login
GuiMaps.connect(ie, 'login') do |login_page|
  login_page.user_name.set_value('me')
  login_page.user_name.set_value('mypassword')
  login_page.submit_button.click
end

# now we should be at main page
GuiMaps.apply_map(ie, 'main') do |page|
  ...
end

...and so on

Is that roughly what you are after?

Best regards,
Alex

I have a scheme that doesn't require this code to be in separate ruby files 
at all. I've tested it out and it works.

Right now, using this code looks like this:

ie.remote_eval <<-END
   button(:name, 'foo').click
END
dialog.button('Yes').click

I'd appreciate comments on this interface, and the names it uses 
(remote_eval, dialog).

Note that the first button click is run in a separate process (that 
blocks). This allows the script actions to appear in a logical sequence, 
rather than the inverted one that you need when the dialog button click is 
in the remote process.

1) In my script A, I have these commands that call a do_click method:

w = RptFunctions.new

icon = "/icon_customize.gif/"

w.do_click(icon)

 

2) In the do_click method, I have this statement which clicks on an icon
(there are 5 possible icons it can click on)

ie.frame("main").frame("body").frame("tabs").image(:src, icon).click

 

The problem is that the above statement always clicks on the first icon
eventhough, the /icon_customize.gif/ is the 5th icon

 

However, if I change the do_click method to specify to the "exact" icon,
then it works:

ie.frame("main").frame("body").frame("tabs").image(:src,
/icon_customize.gif/

 

But, I need to be able to be able to click on any one of the 5 icons, so how
do I do this without having to specify the exact icon.

Thanks, Shao.  It didn't work either.

I decided to do a CASE statement inside the called routine and set the icon
to the specific one depending on the icon number that I send in from the

That seems to work.

class TC_Analysis < Test::Unit::TestCase

    def test_a_analysis1

            ...lots of WATIR code here - methods, etc.

        End

End

 

3) TestPlan.rb containing both of these test cases should like this?

require 'test/unit' 

require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'

require 'watir/windowhelper'

require 'watir/testUnitAddons'

require 'login.rb'

require 'analysis.rb'

 

class TC_TestPlanA < Test::Unit::TestCase

    def test_a_analysis1

       what should be here in this space?

    end 

 

   def test_b_login1

       what is should be here in this space?

    end    

end

 

4) One the DOS-prompt, I do this:

> TestPlan.rb

 

I know I am missing something crucial here because nothing is running.

What Wayne has done so far is send_keys. Whereas AutoIt has a lot more in 
it. It can attach to windows by title. It can pull text from dialogs. Lots 
of stuff. I plan to make heavy use of AutoIt in the updated popup code that 
will be released post 1.4.

A pure Ruby solution would be more ... pure, but we need to be pragmatic.

If the Ruby guitest gets to the point that it approaches AutoIt, then i'll 
look at using it.

Even better, there is this RubyForge project called 'breakpoint', 
http://ruby-breakpoint.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?HomePage, which opens 
an IRB session inside a running Ruby program. With it, you can do 
something like

test/watir/long_convoluted_test_script.rb

require 'watir'
include Watir

config = load_configuration
database = connect_to_database
ie = IE.start('http:/foo.bar.com/login')
ie.text_field(:id, 'username').set_value('me')
...
...
...
# somewhere in the middle
require 'breakpoint'
breakpoint
...

and this will execute the script until breakpoint and then open an IRB 
session in which the actual values of ie, configuration, database are 
available and even can be modified. As well as any other variable 
visible from the breakpoint location. Exiting the IRB continues the 
program.

This is often the easiest way to get to the state that you want to play 
with. Besides, you can do conditional breakpoints
breakpoint if <some arbitrarily complex condition>

Bottom line: don't leave home without it.

The correct way is:

ie = IE.attach(:title, "WindowTitle")

I discussed this at length last week with Brian Marick.

He claims that you should be able to do ctrl-c in IRB and have it reset, 
without losing history etc. This would be useful if you get in a situation 
where you have unmatched quotes and parens and the like. He gets this all 
the time on his Mac and has seen it work right on Windows too.

The problem is the windows batch script intercepts the ctrl-c before IRB 
can get it.

The solution is to directly start irb without using the batch file. Thus:

C:\>ruby c:\ruby\bin\irb
irb(main):001:0> lets mess things up("
irb(main):002:1" a
irb(main):003:1" why isn't irb working?
irb(main):004:1" ^C
irb(main):004:0> puts 'now it is fixed'
now it is fixed
=> nil

Not a specific answer, but the Ruby list (comp.lang.ruby mirrored on the 
main Ruby mailing list, which you can get subscribe info from 
www.ruby-lang.org) is a great place to get help of any sort. Usually 
very responsive and informative. It's where I go if a quick Google 
doesn't turn up much.

I think you are interested in ARGV[], which is an array containing all 
the command line arguments given when the ruby program was invoked.

If you typed test_program.rb One Two Three, then ARGV[] would be the 
array ["One","Two","Three"]

It's very easy:

require 'login.rb'
require 'analysis.rb'

that's it.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Inheritance
Message-ID: <42ef3e9b.43d9dd46.0b55.570a@mx.gmail.com>

This is not a watir, but a ruby question.

In application under test, some items have attachments, some have
description, and some have both.
I know ruby does not support multiple inheritance, so I made class
ItemDescriptionAttachment that has some redundant code ("attr_reader
:attachments" and "@attachments=attachments").
Can class ItemDescriptionAttachment inherit "attr_reader :attachments" and
"@attachments=attachments" from class ItemAttachment?
Thaks.

This is my code:

class Item
	attr_reader :title
	def initialize(title)
		@title=title
	end
end

class ItemAttachment < Item
	attr_reader :attachments
	def initialize(title,attachments=nil)
		super(title)
		@attachments=attachments
	end
end

class ItemDescription < Item
	attr_reader :description
	def initialize(title,description=nil)
		super(title)
		@description=description
	end
end

class ItemDescriptionAttachment < ItemDescription
	attr_reader :attachments
	def initialize(title,description=nil,attachments=nil)
		super(title,description)
		@attachments=attachments
	end
end

the title is the tooltip for the checkbox. We support this on other objects, so it should be simple to make it work on checkboxes too

<input type=checkbox title = 'a tooltip'>

.link(:text, "Space Between Words").click

 

Works for me, but if you're lazy:

 

.link(:text, /Space/).click

 

As long as the first link the regexp matches is the one you want clicked.

How can I click on a text-link in ruby, which contains a space between two
words?

Thanks!

I still can't get "Asserts" commands to work in the irb.  

I got all the "require" statements correctly (they return true), but here
are some asserts statements that don't give me back anything.

Maybe I don't know how to use them or decipher whether it's true or false:

 

irb(main):046:1> assert_true(ie.contains_text("none")

irb(main):047:2> assert_true(ie.contains_text("%%%none")

Give this a go:

$ie.image(:src ,/FBK-and/).click

You may have to change the reg-exp if there are other images with the
same ( or similar) name

Hi!

I have this problem clicking this image... pls see attached htm for
added info. here's the line of the image I want to click... 
  <TD COLSPAN="2"> <a href="javascript:AddText(' AND ')"><IMG
SRC="../../images/RBJ_FBK-and.gif" WIDTH="48" HEIGHT="18"

I tried
    $ie.link(:url,"javascript:AddText(' AND ')").click
    $ie.button(:url,"javascript:AddText(' AND ')").click

but it says unable to locate object. The only difference with this
object is that the link does not appear in the status bar during
mouseover. Thanks.

I haven't been able to get assertions to work in IRB when using Watir
either.  I do a require for both Watir and test::unit, but it gets into a
strange state. I wanted to do this for live demos, but have had to hand-wave
at this point, and then run a script that prints out the assertions. Maybe
someone else has a suggestion.

 

Out of curiosity, why do you want to do this in IRB instead of saving the
tests in test files?

I think an input type=image is actually a button. I need to add examples of this to the docs, so try:

ie.button(:src , /save_continue/).click

I dont have the code here with me right now, so Im guessing a bit...

Even better, there is this RubyForge project called 'breakpoint',
http://ruby-breakpoint.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?HomePage, which opens
an IRB session inside a running Ruby program. With it, you can do
something like

test/watir/long_convoluted_test_script.rb

require 'watir'
include Watir

config = load_configuration
database = connect_to_database
ie = IE.start('http:/foo.bar.com/login')
ie.text_field(:id, 'username').set_value('me') ...
...
...
# somewhere in the middle
require 'breakpoint'
breakpoint
...

and this will execute the script until breakpoint and then open an IRB
session in which the actual values of ie, configuration, database are
available and even can be modified. As well as any other variable
visible from the breakpoint location. Exiting the IRB continues the
program.

This is often the easiest way to get to the state that you want to play
with. Besides, you can do conditional breakpoints breakpoint if <some
arbitrarily complex condition>

Bottom line: don't leave home without it.

You need to balance your parentheses.

What is the syntax for if-else statements?  I am getting syntax errors
when I have the following:

if var1 != 'nil'
	test_env = var1
	test_site = "http://web#{test_env}-at/"
else
	test_env = "qae"
	test_site = "http://web#{test_env}-at/"

Cool, that worked...thanks!

What if I have two buttons that are the same, but pushing one button
adds from LIST1 and pushing the other button adds from LIST2?  Here is
the source below:

<a href="javascript:moveDualList('frmSkills',

I think an input type=image is actually a button. I need to add examples
of this to the docs, so try:

ie.button(:src , /save_continue/).click

I dont have the code here with me right now, so Im guessing a bit...

Does that work if you also use Watir? I can get one or the other, but not
both.

You're missing an "end" to close it off...

if var1 != nil
    something
else
    something else
end

You can also do something like this (which is easier if you have
multiple conditions)

case var1
    when nil, "nil"               # do this if var1 = 'nil' or var1 = nil 
           something
    when 1, 3                     # do this if var1 = 1 or var1 = 3
           something
    when 2, 4                     # do this if var1 = 2 or var1 = 4
           something
    else                             # do this if var1 isn't any of the above
           something else
end

looks like in this case you will have to use an :index

ie.image(:index, 1 ).click    # add from LIST1
ie.image(:index, 2 ).click    # add from LIST1

:index is ugly, so maybe this is a place where your deelopers can add an id to either the image tag or the link tag, like this:

this.document.frmSkills.skillProf,this.document.frmSkills.skillProf,
 false, masterProfSkillsList);">
       <img   id=from_list_1

Can someone help me with the security alert box that pops up after I log
into a webpage?  The pop-up has "Security Alert" for the window title
and 'Yes' and 'No' buttons.  I would like to have Watir hit the 'Yes'

The 'Yes' button wasn't pushed, and when I pushed yes manually and the
script ended, some stuff printed on the screen:

You need these 2 attached files that will make it work;

You need to put both in the C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir directory

 I don't think they are in the 1.3 version (probably in tarball).

Also add the code below, it works great for me. 

 

require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'watir/windowhelper'
 
t = Thread.new(){
    puts "Started thread for win helper"
    system('ruby winHelper_security.rb')
}
 
ie=IE.new()
m = Thread.new(ie) {
  ie.goto("https://www.mysite.com")  
}
m.join
t.join

Subject: [Wtr-general] Accolades to the WaTiR Developers and Community !!
Message-ID: <000601c597c4$698e6110$6501a8c0@TopGun>

WaTiR Rocks!

I started using Watir back in February as a "Skunkworks Project"
in order to reduce the test time after a push to "Production".
I added more test cases daily and started using the same scripts
in our "Staging Env".  The progress continued until I was using
the same WaTiR scripts for a larger and larger portion of regression
testing in the "Test Env". The only unfortunate part is that I have had
to do this on nights and weekends due to staffing reductions (but it's
getting less and less as more automation is added)

About a month (or so) ago I downloaded version 1.3!

Access to the Hidden fields allowed me to login to my Single Sign
On (SSO) portals (up to that point I was logging in manually and
using the ie.attach ability - which was still better than testing
manually!) Now I can regression test end-to-end!

With the AutoIT capability addon and community posts I was able to use the
file upload capabilities and extrapolate how to accomplish file download
functionality and subsequently compare "test" files using the Ruby
FileUtils.cmp capability!

Needless to say, WaTiR is a great Test Automation Framework, the Developers
are very responsive, the Community is very helpful as well and I have learned
quite a bit.

I plan to make a test tools presentation that includes WaTiR in Dallas at
the Metro-SQA meeting in October!

Thanks All!

I haven't gotten a computer setup with WATiR yet, but I wanted to see
if I could get an answer before I got to it...

#1 - If I do something like ie.link( :id, "blah" ) will it find the
link regardless of frame on the page? or do I have to add stuff to
specify the frame & then the link within it...

#2 - If an auth dialog pops up, can I fill in the fields @ run time ... 

I know if the browser shows the login as part of a web page, I can set
the text and submit, but I want to know, if it's truly AUTH based
HTTP, will it let me fill in THOSE?

I know I can do that with information in the URL, but I want to know
about the dialog option.

1. no - you must specify the frame, like
ie.frame(:index,2).link(:id,'blah').click
2. yes, but you have to use the Autoit tool to help you, its not too
hard though.

Wow, thanks for the quick response ...

So, with the .link or .frame or .blah calls, what do they return if it
can't find the item ?  or if it finds multiple?

If it cant find it, it raises an ObjectNotFoundException.
If there are multiple, it returns the first one. There have been
suggestions we should raise an exception if there are multiple. Im not
sure, as there is nothing preventing you from having the same name or id
on html tags in the page.

I don't mind the return the first one ... 

But, it really would be beneficial to be able to say, I don't know
which frame this is in ... ( I've got situations where the dev team I
support is moving things around a LOT ) ... so, If I can just say, I
know it's called "BLAH" then find it whereever, but I'm sure I can
code that up myself ( I just see it as useful ).

Thanks for the blazing results...

As soon as I get my testing dialed in, I'm going to show this to the
company I work for ... I think I can get a pretty major following for
this. ( we're a mid-large sized eComm company located in Seattle ).

>From what I've seen so far, WATiR looks like it's going to solve a LOT
of problems for me.

Thank you for developing it.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Accolades to the WaTiR Developers and Community !!


WaTiR Rocks!
 
I started using Watir back in February as a "Skunkworks Project"
in order to reduce the test time after a push to "Production".
I added more test cases daily and started using the same scripts
in our "Staging Env".  The progress continued until I was using
the same WaTiR scripts for a larger and larger portion of regression
testing in the "Test Env". The only unfortunate part is that I have had
to do this on nights and weekends due to staffing reductions (but it's
getting less and less as more automation is added)
 
About a month (or so) ago I downloaded version 1.3!
 
Access to the Hidden fields allowed me to login to my Single Sign
On (SSO) portals (up to that point I was logging in manually and
using the ie.attach ability - which was still better than testing
manually!) Now I can regression test end-to-end!
 
With the AutoIT capability addon and community posts I was able to use the
file upload capabilities and extrapolate how to accomplish file download
functionality and subsequently compare "test" files using the Ruby
FileUtils.cmp capability!
 
Needless to say, WaTiR is a great Test Automation Framework, the Developers
are very responsive, the Community is very helpful as well and I have learned
quite a bit.
 
I plan to make a test tools presentation that includes WaTiR in Dallas at
the Metro-SQA meeting in October!
 
Thanks All!

I want to add a frame iterator object as soon as I get the chance:

Ie.frames.each {|f|  ....  }

When that's, there, it would be simple for you to add your 'click a link
in any frame' method. It wont be this release though.

I don't mind the return the first one ... 

But, it really would be beneficial to be able to say, I don't know which
frame this is in ... ( I've got situations where the dev team I support
is moving things around a LOT ) ... so, If I can just say, I know it's
called "BLAH" then find it whereever, but I'm sure I can code that up
myself ( I just see it as useful ).

Thanks for the blazing results...

As soon as I get my testing dialed in, I'm going to show this to the
company I work for ... I think I can get a pretty major following for
this. ( we're a mid-large sized eComm company located in Seattle ).

>From what I've seen so far, WATiR looks like it's going to solve a LOT

Thank you for developing it.

I've actually found that having to specify the frame in question turns
out to be a blessing, not a curse.  It's easy enough to do, and it is
one of the features that really sets Watir apart from similar tools.

I'm not saying it's bad to be able to specify a frame ( I want x in y
)  ... I'm saying, if you have more of a moving target, the ability to
say I want x in whatever frame I can find it in ...

I wouldn't want things that way, but I know of some dev teams that
just can't leave anything alone, so you've go a large problem with
supporting a moving target.

That would be cool.

Iterators on ALL of the browser objects would be good. (frames,
buttons, text_input,  images, etc. ).

Excellent. I look forward to getting my test system up and running.

AutoIT was mentioned, is that a free thing or a pay thing ... Not that
I have a problem with paying for things, but it is a sizable
investment for a company the size of which I work for.

Excellent. I look forward to getting my test system up and running.

AutoIT was mentioned, is that a free thing or a pay thing ... Not that I
have a problem with paying for things, but it is a sizable investment
for a company the size of which I work for.

Hi,
  How to specify the order/sequence of execution of tests while running all tests in a folder at once? Right now the tests in the folder are executed in the order of their names alphabetically.
Is there a way to specify the sequence of execution of tests?
 
 
Thanks in advance

How can I click on a text-link in ruby, which contains a space between
two words?

The problem is, in the HTML source it says "one&#x20;two", so
.link(:text, "one two").click doesn't work.

Works for me, but if you're lazy:

 

.link(:text, /Space/).click

 

As long as the first link the regexp matches is the one you want
clicked.

Jonathan knows this, but for every one else, this does the same thing, more 
simply:

>if ie.contains_text("Programming Ruby")
>     puts("TEST PASSED. Found test string 'Programming Ruby'")
>else
>     puts("TEST FAILED.")

This seems to trip a lot of people up. Jonathan, do our docs describe the 
simple way before talking about asserts?

It's non-conformant HTML if it has duplicate id's on a page (duplicate 
names are kosher).

This will be harder than the other iterators because frame collections can 
be nested. If you only search document.frames[], you won't actually 
traverse all of the frames.

You can write a function that does just this.

You seem to have confused our open-source library with a closed-source tool 
that only lets you do what the vendor thinks you should want to do.

Don't try to convince us this is a good idea -- just do it.

Most of these are already in place.

I have a question of my own. Would you like to see kind of thing work?

   target = nil
   ie.text_fields.each {| tf | target = tf if tf.name == "foo" and tf.title 
== "bar"}
   target.set("hooray") if target

You can use src:

ie.image(:src, 'image_src').click

+1 :)

I'd also put in a request for table cells...sometimes I work with
tables that have more rows/columns than the row_count and column_count
say they do.  When I try a table[x][y].exists? I get an error

Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D31A@EX5V.rl.gov>

I ran into this in my test also.  What I ended up doing is naming my
tests:  	
	def test01_SomeMeaningfulTestName
		Code to test stuff
	end
 
	def test02_SomeMeaningfulTestName
		Code to test stuff
	end

	def test03_SomeMeaningfulTestName
		Code to test stuff
	End
	
	Etc.

Note:  'alphabetical' appears to be ascii based meaning your results may
be unexpected if you use numbers to try and force a specific order of
execution.  Which means 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12...will actually be
executed as 1 10 11 12 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.  To get around this you would
need to do this:  01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12...

Forgive me if the seems overly obvious to you but it is usually the
simple and obvious things that mess me up ;-).

Hope this helps,

Hi,
  How to specify the order/sequence of execution of tests while running
all tests in a folder at once? Right now the tests in the folder are
executed in the order of their names alphabetically.
Is there a way to specify the sequence of execution of tests?
 
 
Thanks in advance

ah, good point. Should it perhaps only iterate the top level frames?

and if you wanted lower level frames, you would apply an iterator to that frame. Seems like this way would save me work;-) But probably be less intuiitive.

All,

Forgive me if I am asking an obvious question, this is my second
attempt to post this and get some sort of answer to my issue.  Now I
personally have a problem. I need to automate the login for further
testing, but I cannot figure out how to access the 'Log In' button
which has been defined in the Cascading Style Sheets.  Any help would
be appreciated. I have included HTML, CSS, and Javascript code.

I think there should be 2 ... one for top level frames and one that is
exhaustive.

Not that both features are necessary out of the gate ... top level
frames would be a good start .

Message-ID: <24d35ac24d5539.24d553924d35ac@shaw.ca>

most watir objects support a click method, so 

ie.image(:id, /pic/).click

should do what you want ( replace image with what ever element you need, radio, text_field etc)

a <td> should have a click method, so if you can figure out its index you can do

ie.table(:index,t)[row][col].click

You'll have to fixure out the row and col values and the value for t

It would be better if you can get an id added to that cell

I agree, assign unique ids for each image ... should make things quite
a bit easier.

Can you give a quick example of calling specifically the cell with the ID ?

OK, well that means reworking the iterators -- i suggest we do this before 
creating more.

The problem with the current iterators is that they iterate over COM 
objects, rather than over, say Watir::TextField objects (which is 
implicitly what my example would require). This would require Wrapper 
objects, like those we already have for Form.

Personally, i think we should not be exposing COM objects, except as a 
'back door' to let people muck with the iternals -- we should not be 
inviting people to mess with them.

I agree, but what I would suggest for the handling of dynamic content
is that, in the event that the block for an iterator causes a page
(re)load, that an exception should be thrown kicking things OUT of the
block ...

PageContextChangedError or something like that... 

that way you can iterate happily as long as you don't cause a load,
and if you do, you get kicked out of your iterator.

... makes sense to me.

Also, I agree, the underlying COM shouldn't be exposed.

Another complication of this is that some frame properties are not 
accessible from the frame itself, but rather from its container. This is 
because, internally, there is a Frame element and a Window element referred 
to by the frame and contained in the Frames array. To see what i mean, look 
at what i recently had to do to allow Frames to be accessed by id instead 
of name -- kinda hairy.

The design principle with Watir is that we try to make Watir be intuitive, 
even if that means our code isn't a simple mapping to the OLE objects.

Ultimately, i think we need to start taking a more experimental approach. 
We need to be able to release an implementation and discuss it and modify 
it, *before* we commit to supporting it.

Right now i am working on new dialog support code. I think everyone will 
like both the new API and the new functionality that will come with it. If 
so, we then face what to do with the old WinClicker and WindowHandler code, 
which i would like to deprecate.

Or if we supported ie.cell(:class, 'loginOnOut').click.

I recently ran into another case where it would have been convenient to use 
the class name to specify an element. Any other interest in this idea?

I think it's a great idea. I couldn't deal with CSS with other tools - this is a
big strength of Watir.

... will the new dialog functionality replace the AutoIT stuff as well ?

I fully agree with that, if all I wanted was access to the COM stuff,
I could do that without WATiR.

So, where/how is the repository ( SCM ) run now?

I mean, if this is an experimentation thing, we need to get setup to
go and pull source to try the experimental version, and leave the
"release" version for the people that don't want to play with new
features that will most likely change before release.

So, does this new functionality replace the AutoIT stuff or does it
wrap it ... or what ???

I'm MORE than happy to help with coding as well. I'm not familiar with
how things normally work with RubyForge projects ( or at the general
open source level either ) ... I've mostly worked in closed source
environments...

But, I'd be GLAD to help make the current Best-In-Class solution the
Best Solution Possible.

Thanks for pointing it out. I copied and pasted the rescue version into IRB
from an example because I was too lazy to type it in. :)

No, I'll update the user guide today. I was also going to update the attach

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to specify the order of execution of the tests?

I do the same thing. 

I have a pet-peeve with the xUnit design that runs the tests in a
pseudo-random order. I understand the motivation behind it, and I have
proper setup and teardown in unit tests, but when doing functional tests I
often need to chain tests. I'd rather that tools like JUnit etc. allowed me
to specify running them in order or not instead of forcing me to do the
"right thing".

Subject: [Wtr-general] require on the fly touble..
Message-ID: <593b9ae8050803103028629ffc@mail.gmail.com>

I have a script that runs..somewhere in the middle I excute a function
which creates a file with global variables.  It creates it fine.
I then require this file.  No problems there, but when I try to use
any of the global variables that are defined in this new file I get an
error saying it is nil... Here's what I'm doing basically

def someFunction()
   cls = someNewClass.new()
   cls.createMyFile()   # writes global variables to it
   tempdir =  Dir.pwd.match('.*Watir/CBT/').to_s    # find the
directory I just wrote to
   file = tempdir + "newlyCreatedFile.rb"
   require file

   puts $newlyDefinedGlobalVariable.to_s
 
end

error:  C:/Watir/CBT/Tests/../../CBT/CBTCallLogObject.rb:91:in `+':
cannot convert nil into String

Also I note that it's changing my current directory by going up two
folders then going back down two..although I don't tell it to since
I'm using tempdir as in the code above...

any ideas?

Shao

They don't force you.

You can subclass the Suite method and use your own algorithm for ordering 
the tests. That's what i'd do if it bothered me. Test::Unit is extremely 
customizable.

I haven't committed the new dialog code yet. You'll have to be a bit more 
patient.

No, I'm just trying to get ANY version installed on my box. I wasn't
worried about the new stuff yet.

I've just got a freshly imaged laptop and I'm trying to get things running.

So, I am/was looking for ideas to help figure out why watir won't install.

Message-ID: <20050803185038.SAJZ10231.priv-edtnes56.telusplanet.net@tintin>

I've updated the User Guide:
-included the simple example of printing assertion results below
-fixed the error in the attach section
-added more information to the test::unit section
-added information on accessing elements by index or before or after text
-added an Online Resources section with a link to the FAQ and mailing list
search instructions
-added a section on popup windows

A lot more could be done, but at least there's some fixes and more info for
the next release.

Ok, I just ran the installer ( versions .15 & .14 ) and after I've
gotten Ruby installed, when I run the watir installer ( install.rb )
it says it can't find Fox

Any ideas? I'm running XP.

Actually, no. There is no code in Watir for accessing elements by class. (P 
is a subclass of Span/Div).

However, P and Span and Div all allow you to access the class of an element 
using the incorrectly named 'style' method. (I'll fix this shortly.)

I was talking about the methods in the "css_test.rb" unit test which was
written for a real-world example. We couldn't handle those kind of error
messages with SilkTest.

The more CSS support we have, the better!

Is any one using the beforetext or aftertext attributes?

I recently tried the before and after text and it didn't work in my 
particular case. I did a bit of investigation and saw that it did work in 
others.

These attributes are part of the Microsoft DOM, but they are not part of 
the standard WC3 DOM. Consequently, there is not good documentation on how 
they are supposed to work.

Message-ID: <20050803191857.TQMZ1870.priv-edtnes51.telusplanet.net@tintin>

I've found Builder to work well for writing out XML files, and REXML for
reading.

 

To use Builder with Watir, first you need to install gems and Builder.

 

The "Builder" project is here: http://rubyforge.org/projects/builder/

 

Installing it requires that RubyGems is installed:

http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3

 

The parent tag is written with opening and closing tags, and then the child
tags are written between them. 

 

I downloaded the Builder package (it has a ".gem" file extension), and saved
it to a directory. 

I downloaded the latest RubyGems release (zip file), unzipped it to a
temporary directory (ex. "gems_temp"), and then opened a DOS console. In the
console, I changed to the temporary directory (ex.

C:\gems_temp\rubygems-0.8.10\ ) and typed: "setup" at the command prompt and
hit enter. 

This installed Ruby Gems. 

 

I installed Builder by then entering this: "gem install builder" at the
command line.

Actually the installer looks for both.

Found the problem ... it installed fxruby under gems.

So, it won't find it until require 'rubygems' is included at the top.

It's working wonderfully now.

So, is there a good online tutorial for the AutoIT stuff?

I've found Builder to work well for writing out XML files, and REXML for
reading.

 

To use Builder with Watir, first you need to install gems and Builder.

 

The "Builder" project is here: http://rubyforge.org/projects/builder/

 

Installing it requires that RubyGems is installed:

http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3

 

The parent tag is written with opening and closing tags, and then the
child tags are written between them. 

 

I downloaded the Builder package (it has a ".gem" file extension), and
saved it to a directory. 

I downloaded the latest RubyGems release (zip file), unzipped it to a
temporary directory (ex. "gems_temp"), and then opened a DOS console. In
the console, I changed to the temporary directory (ex.

C:\gems_temp\rubygems-0.8.10\ ) and typed: "setup" at the command prompt
and hit enter. 

This installed Ruby Gems. 

 

I installed Builder by then entering this: "gem install builder" at the
command line.

REXML logging is already in the examples directory. If there is sufficient
interest and Bret and Paul don't object, I could include an example using
Builder in the examples directory.

I am testing assertions in the class Test::Unit::TestCase.
 
I get output at the end that looks like this:
 
Finished in 14.001 seconds.
1 tests, 3 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
 
Does anyone know how to disable the automatic printing of the time, while still printing the results of how many tests passed?  It is causing problems for me when I try to diff output files.  Thanks.

Here is an example. When you have RubyGems and Builder installed, rename the
"xml_logging.zi~" file to "xml_logging.zip", extract and run.

 

Hope this helps. 

 

With REXML, I wasn't able to get a solution that printed out a suite results
file and a test case results file using Suites in Test::Unit. One of the log
files would be blank. I'll have to try again.

You need these 2 attached files that will make it work;

You need to put both in the C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir
directory

 I don't think they are in the 1.3 version (probably in tarball).

Also add the code below, it works great for me. 

 

require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'watir/windowhelper'
 
t = Thread.new(){
    puts "Started thread for win helper"
    system('ruby winHelper_security.rb')
}
 
ie=IE.new()
m = Thread.new(ie) {
  ie.goto("https://www.mysite.com")  
}
m.join
t.join

This is a reset button. In the current release you need to do
Ie.reset(:value , 'Cancel').flash

In the next release, the code you are using will work as we have
combined reset objects in with button

You can use :beforeText although Bret has said today this seems to be
unreliable, so it may not work.

Ie.checkbox(:beforeText, 'Name 1').flash

Haven't you recommended ie.checkbox(:name, 'similarname', 35).flash for 
this before?

What is the normal process for upgrading from one version to the next

This is a reset button. In the current release you need to do
Ie.reset(:value , 'Cancel').flash
In the next release, the code you are using will work as we have
combined reset objects in with button

Message-ID: <F473D30D9E5CBF42931605523FE78FB3070C21@tfphmanilmul02.ERF.THOMSON.COM>

this is regarding watir and browser session contamination problems. please read.
-> http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-June/002240.html

I used this code: this is to ensure it opens different html files

w=WinClicker.new
w.winsystem("start explorer #{thread_number}_#{i}.html ")
      
sleep(thread_number)
ie_array[i] = IE.attach(:title , "#{thread_number}_#{i}" )

ie_array[i].goto(site)



I thought this would solve the session problems. I was wrong.
Although I spawned different IEs, it still reflects same session IDs for all of them. how come?

I understand it's the same as typing in the run command of windows "start explorer blahblah".
I did it manually and it returned different sessions which I hope it would also return during the automation. Please advise. thanks.

Hi,
I just installed v1.4 as well, and ran the same tests as you. Got the 
same results with the following exceptions:

Didn't get this one.

So I ended up with:
157 tests, 950 assertions, 3 failures, 0 errors.

At one point during the test run I had to manually click the OK and 
Cancel buttons off of the page 'unitTests/html/popups1.html', to get the 
test run to continue.

You can use :beforeText although Bret has said today this seems to be
unreliable, so it may not work
Ie.checkbox(:beforeText, 'Name 1').flash

I have had this not work sometimes though, so I comment out a block using
RDT in Eclipse, or Ctrl+Q in SciTE.

Thanks for all the reports about unit test failures.

The failures in the frames tests listed below are test bugs, and can be 
ignored. The indexing in show_frames had been incorrect. And the tests for 
them had the wrong expected results (so they were passing, incorrectly). 
Paul fixed the show_frames code, but didn't fix the tests, so they started 
failing (because the corrected output did not match the incorrect expected 
results). I've just committed corrections to the tests to CVS, and they 
will be in the next release.

The other failures being reported are more confusing. They seem to be 
intermittent, and if memory serves, we've been seeing them, intermittently, 
for a while -- or at least some of them. Please continue to report them 
until we get them sorted out.

if m.join and t.join does the actual pushing of the 'yes' button on the

You need these 2 attached files that will make it work;

You need to put both in the C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir
directory

 I don't think they are in the 1.3 version (probably in tarball).

Also add the code below, it works great for me. 

 

require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'watir/windowhelper'
 
t = Thread.new(){
    puts "Started thread for win helper"
    system('ruby winHelper_security.rb')
}
 
ie=IE.new()
m = Thread.new(ie) {
  ie.goto("https://www.mysite.com")  
}
m.join
t.join

Dev is going to add ids in the next release.  In the meantime, I'm gonna
have to use index...

How do I know which index number goes to which button? There are
actually several other buttons on the page ("Add", "Remove", "Cancel",
"Continue"...)

looks like in this case you will have to use an :index

ie.image(:index, 1 ).click    # add from LIST1
ie.image(:index, 2 ).click    # add from LIST1

:index is ugly, so maybe this is a place where your deelopers can add an
id to either the image tag or the link tag, like this:

this.document.frmSkills.skillProf,this.document.frmSkills.skillProf,
 false, masterProfSkillsList);">
       <img   id=from_list_1 
 src="/registrationbean/jsp/images/LOB/buttons/at-us/en/US/add.gif"

Hello,

Sorry, if this is obvious - I'm new to ruby, watir, and windows - I'm
coming from perl on unix.

What have I missed here?  I ran the example concurrent_search test and
got the following:

Hmm. I don't know why that wouldn't work. Could you try using
ie.reset(:name , 'reset').flash

Or maybe install the 1.4 release and just use 
ie.button(:name , 'reset').flash

This is a reset button. In the current release you need to do
Ie.reset(:value , 'Cancel').flash In the next release, the code you are
using will work as we have combined reset objects in with button Paul

Yep, that does work in most situations ( the 35 being the value for the
checkbox) However in this situation Fred said that the values are
generated dynamically, so I assumed they may not be the same between
page loads.

We've discussed before how the 35 appears meaningless, and the more I
see it I thing I would prefer the syntax that has been proposed:
ie.check_box(:name, 'foo', :value 35)

 note I didn't put a comma or anything in between value and 35, as Im
not sure what would be best
   ie.check_box(:name, 'foo', :value , 35)
     or
   ie.check_box(:name, 'foo', :value => 35)

Haven't you recommended ie.checkbox(:name, 'similarname', 35).flash for

Well, it works for me ;-)

The error is that watir couldn't find the text field where you enter the
search term. 
I live in canada, and I always get redirected to google.ca, so maybe
something similar is happening for you and the search box has a
different name...
Other than that I cant really help...

Hmmm, I get the error if there's no browser window open at the start.
If a browser window is already open, it runs without error.  Is this the
expected behavior?

No, it should create the browser for you. What win/ruby versions?
Does the regular googleSearch.rb work?

Hmmm, I get the error if there's no browser window open at the start. If
a browser window is already open, it runs without error.  Is this the
expected behavior?

Is there a way to override the built-in wait() after I click on a button
from the browser?  I tried putting ie.wait(2) after click but it didn't
work.

OK, I was wrong, the behavior is intermittent. Sometimes it works and

i would say it should either be
   ie.check_box(:name, 'foo', :value, 35)
or
   ie.check_box({:name => 'foo', :value => 35})

(and either way, i'd make it work for all attributes and elements, not just 
check boxes.)

Comments? I actually lean for the latter: it's a hash, which is a 
convenient data structure. It may be new to the typical Watir user, but 
there is a lot of Ruby support for it, and experienced Watir users should 
know about it anyway -- there are lots of places where it can be useful for 
testing. (Segue to Testimonial from McMahon...)

My guess is that this is a timing issue of some sort and ultimately a bug 
(race condition) in watir.

One thing you can do is put small sleep statements in there.

For example put a "sleep 0.1" right before the failing line and then see if 
you can reproduce the problem. If not, that proves it is a race condition. 
(We still would need to figure out exactly where the problem is, however.)

Yep, in my situation, the checkbox are dynamically generated and re-indexed,
so I need a unique identifier so as the to have repeatable case.

Yep, that does work in most situations ( the 35 being the value for the
checkbox) However in this situation Fred said that the values are
generated dynamically, so I assumed they may not be the same between
page loads.

We've discussed before how the 35 appears meaningless, and the more I
see it I thing I would prefer the syntax that has been proposed:
ie.check_box(:name, 'foo', :value 35)

 note I didn't put a comma or anything in between value and 35, as Im
not sure what would be best
   ie.check_box(:name, 'foo', :value , 35)
     or
   ie.check_box(:name, 'foo', :value => 35)

Haven't you recommended ie.checkbox(:name, 'similarname', 35).flash for
this before?

Hmm. I don't know why that wouldn't work. Could you try using
ie.reset(:name , 'reset').flash

Or maybe install the 1.4 release and just use 
ie.button(:name , 'reset').flash

This is a reset button. In the current release you need to do
Ie.reset(:value , 'Cancel').flash In the next release, the code you are

Subject: [Wtr-general] Anyone using Watir with javascript HTML-editor
	(textarea)?
Message-ID: <42F31F0D.6000509@extend.no>

Hi,
I'm new to Watir and Ruby, but from what I can see so far we could 
really benefit greatly from using Watir to automate testing of our 
web-based products.

Our main product uses a javascript HTML-editor (much like TinyMCE[1]) to 
let the user create documents to be published.

So far I've not managed to in any way to interact with this HTML-editor 
using Watir. Neither manipulating text in the textarea nor accessing the 
toolbar buttons works. When trying to input text in the textarea I 
always get an error like this:

   irb(main):026:0> ie.text_field(:id, /elm1/).set("Test")
   WIN32OLERuntimeError: focus
       OLE error code:800A083E in htmlfile
         Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not
         enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.
       HRESULT error code:0x80020009
         Exception occurred.
           from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3399:in
           method_missing'
           from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3399:in `set'
           from (irb):26
           from  :0

I realize I might be trying to access the wrong object here, but I've 
tried others with no luck. I've also tried using name instead of id.

If anyone can help me sorting out this problem that would be greatly 
appreciated.


[1] TinyMCE is a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG
     editor control released as Open Source under LGPL by Moxiecode
     Systems AB. It has the ability to convert HTML TEXTAREA fields or
     other HTML elements to editor instances.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Accessing Pop up Dialog Controls
Message-ID: <NIBBKGMOELJJNLCEMJPBGEPFGMAA.fredckp@yahoo.com.sg>

Hi,

I was following this thread to click on a JavaScript invoked Confirmation
Dialog.
JavaScript on Page, looks something like this.
****************************************************************************
************************************
<SCRIPT language=JAVASCRIPT>
		function validate_form() {

		dml=document.forms['SIDsForm'];
		len=dml.elements.length;
		var i=0;
		for(i=0;i<len;i++)
		{
                    if(dml.elements[i].checked){
                    return (confirm("Selected will be removed!"));
                    }
		}
        	alert("Please Select to remove.");
		return false;
<!--
			if (document.Form.groupsid.checked ){
                            return true;
			}
			else {
			alert("Please fill in the Name.");
				return false;

			}
-->
		}
</SCRIPT>
****************************************************************************
************************************

I have got a point where the Confirmation dialog was prompted, but no
clicking action was performed.

startClicker("OK")
ie.button(:value,"buttonconfirmdelete").click

I understand that 1.4 has this 'watir/WindowHelper', how does it applies in
this case.

Thanks.

Regards,
Fred

============================================================================
============
When you say 'Popup Window' do you mean: 1) a JavaScript Alert, Confirm,
or Prompt? Or 2) do you mean another browser window that has form
information which gets posted back to the parent that has the 'Add"
button on it?  The following have worked for me in both situations.



If it is #1 then this works for the JavaScript type popup:



#define the popup method first (this is right out of
unittests\popups_test.rb)

def startClicker( button , waitTime = 3)

      w = WinClicker.new

      longName = $ie.dir.gsub("/" , "\\" )

      shortName = w.getShortFileName(longName)

      c = "start rubyw #{shortName }\\watir\\clickJSDialog.rb #{button }
#{ waitTime} "

      puts "Starting #{c}"

      w.winsystem(c)

      w=nil

    end



#then call it just before your button click

            startClicker("OK" , 3)

            $ie.button("Submit").click



If it is #2 then this works for the browser window 'Popup'

            #parent window clicks the button

$ie.button( "Add Causal Codes" ).click

sleep 3



#child form window pops up and get posted pack to the parent

cw = IE.attach( :title, /PER Causal Code Management/i )  #this could
also be a URL

cw.selectBox( :index, 1).select(/A1/ )

cw.selectBox( :index, 3).select(/B1/ )

cw.selectBox( :index, 11).select(/C01/ )

cw.button( "Add Causal Codes" ).click

cw.button( "Close Window" ).click



Hope this helps.

Hi All,

   I would like to know how to access the standard controls available in
the Popup Window.

   I tried to get the Handle of the Popup window & tried accessing the
controls(Eg:ComboBox) using Winclicker Class , but I am getting the
error message as  " undefined method `getWindowTitle' for
WinClicker:Class (NoMethodError) " .

$ie = Watir::IE.start('...')

#On Click of this Add button, new popup window is opened
$ie.button(:caption, "Add").click

#Getting the Handle of the newly opened Popup window
hTheActiveWindow = Win32API.new("user32", "GetActiveWindow", [], 'I')

#Getting the Title of the Popup window
wincaption=WinClicker.getWindowTitle(hTheActiveWindow)

#Now using this Popup window handle, I can get all the child handles &
then call setComboBoxText(hwnd , settext)

Can anyone help me in this regard.  Thanks for any of  your suggesstions

Ramya

My Watir always opens the IE in the background, can I make him open the IE in front of all windows?

I put the script in a loop to run 20 times - typically, there'll be 2
errors out of twenty.  Could someone else try this:

for %i in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20) do ruby
concurrent_search.rb

I put in a "sleep 1" between the ie.start and the ie.test_field and
still got failures.  

A few other things that didn't work (I'm just fishing): 
- putting ie.wait after the the ie.start
- replace ie.start with ie = IE.new; ie.goto

Changing the number of threads to 1 did work -->> no errors
Changing the number of threads to 2 did NOT work

I'm using the current stable version of ruby (1.8.2-14, I believe) and
the watir 1.4.  I'm running win2k (service pack 4) on an old 730
MHz Gateway with 256 Mb memory

I have now been able to reproduce this problem.

When it occurs, there is blank IE window. It saws 'http://www.google.com/' 
in the address bar, but the page is blank, and it is not loading. A refresh 
corrects the problem. This is  different from what i thought might be 
happening (adding waits and sleeps won't correct this).

I'm guessing that this is a multithreading bug in IE itself, that shows up 
more often on machines with limited resources (like yours).

I don't really see a way to change Watir itself to avoid this problem. To 
some degree it doesn't look like an automation bug. In other words -- if 
you manually ran several browsers this fast, i suspect you'd see the same 
problem.

I could advise you how to workaround the problem in specific cases. In this 
situation ie.text == '', so you add a check to detect this situation and 
retry in your script (or trap the error and ignore it).

That did it.  Both of your suggestions worked fine - either wrapping
the ie.text_field and ie.button statements in "unless ie.test == ''
then" or in "begin,rescue,end" bypassed this problem.  Perhaps one of
these could be included in the example - demonstrating the need to
test for the existence of an object before trying to use it  :-)

Thank you - I appreciate your help - I'm new to ruby, watir, and windows
(my native tongue is perl - my native land is unix) and don't yet have
a feel for what's "normal"

Hello again,

I've been trying and trying to get this to work but am still having no joy.

I've been working around this problem for the last few months but it's
really limiting what I can achieve with the tool.

Can anyone one please help with an idiot proof guide to getting this to
work? I see this question has been added to the faq so I assume it's is
common problem.

I'm positive that autoit is installed because around half the unit tests in
the jscript_test.rb unit test seem to work and that test is not throwing an
error.

All that happens is that the security dialog appears and the test hangs
indefinately.

Can anyone please explain how to do this and what each step in the process
is doing?

Thanks

Iain

Here it is. I think I used a program called 7za to zip it, but it obviously
didn't work quite right!
The new release will have the windowshelper that you need

Paul,

This zip file apears to be corrupt. Would you mind reposting?

Also, I notice that version 1.3.1 was released today. Does this release
include the updated WindowHelper.rb file you refered to below?

Thanks

Iain,

Here is a zip that contains some ruby files that will clear the security
alert for you. You'll also need to get the latest code from cvs, especially
the WindowHelper.rb file

In future versions of watir we hope to have this code a bit clearer and
easier to use

Hi Guys,

Firstly, let me say thanks for the tool and the new release. I've been
eagerly waiting for the new functionality and can't wait to get started with
it. I've never programmed before but in the last month, through using your
tool, I've learnt the basics of Ruby and am amazed by the results I've been
getting.

Up until now there's only been a few things I've wanted to do with Watir but
haven't yet been able to.

1. Enter the network login information when accessing my test site.

2. Accepting Security Certificate warnings in Security Alert popups.


I understand that both these issues have been addressed by the new build.
I'm trying to figure out how to do this so have gone to the Watir API and
the sample unit tests to try and find some similar code but I'm having some
problems getting them to work.

1.) Unfortunately the WindowLogonExample.rb unit test isn't working for me.
The clio.lyris.com login prompt appears but nothing else happens. Is anyone
else having this problem?


2.) I couldn't find any working examples for Security Alerts but in the API
I can see the clearSecurityAlertBox method in the WinClicker class.
I've tried to following

$ie = IE.new
$ie.goto($Z_Login)

w = WinClicker.new
w.clearSecurityAlertBox()

The security alert appears immediately after I navigate to Login URL of my
test site but like before nothing happens. If I abort the test I get the
following output:

getWindowHandle - looking for: Security Alert Found window:

I'm having the same problem. 
 
I've verified the 2 files are in the location you refered to. I recently
installed Watir 1.4 and WindowHelper.rb is already there but I've copied
winHelper_security.rb
 
The error message is :
 
Started thread for win helper
ruby: No such file or directory -- winHelper_security.rb (LoadError)
 
Any ideas?

You need these 2 attached files that will make it work;

You need to put both in the C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir directory

 I don't think they are in the 1.3 version (probably in tarball).

Also add the code below, it works great for me. 

 

require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'watir/windowhelper'
 
t = Thread.new(){
    puts "Started thread for win helper"
    system('ruby winHelper_security.rb')
}
 
ie=IE.new()
m = Thread.new(ie) {
  ie.goto("https://www.mysite.com")  
}
m.join
t.join

Message-ID: <99DF6C0285C2CE4C99F02D78385719660181ABC4@hue.cybersoft-vn.com>

Hi All

Currently, I define the fix path of test data. But in this way is not so
good when we run test script in other computer with difference folder.

Currently, The structure of my test script like this

--testScript
  -- TC1
     -- TC1.rb
  -- TC2
    -- TC2.rb
  -- ..
  -- Util
    -- config.rb
  -- Testdata.xls

In config.rb, I define like this

$input_test_data_path = 'D:\TestScript\testdata.xls'

And use $input_test_data_path in TC1, TC2,...

Does have anyway to define the test data location more suitable

Thank you for help

Hue

Dear All,
I need split Character & Numeric from string to 2 elements.

My string in some case as like this:
Case1: A13   -> The result must be in array: [A, 13]
Case2: ACB12334 -> The result must be in array: [ABC, 12334]

Here's one way:  

string = "ACB12334"
string =~ /[A-Z]/
alphas = $&

string = "ACB12334"
string =~ /[0-9]/
numerics = $&

Hi
I follow your ways, but it seem don't work

Here my script
string = "ACB12334"
puts string
string =~ /[A-Z]/
puts string
alphas = $&
puts alphas

string = "ACB12334"
puts string
string =~ /[0-9]/
puts string
numerics = $&
puts numerics

And I got the result:
ACB12334
ACB12334
A
ACB12334
ACB12334
1

I get the normal Windows- "Open file"-dialog. How can I now select a

Try this (make sure you have 'file.txt' in 'C:\'):
 
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.start('http://validator.w3.org/')
ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\file.txt')
 
There seems to be a bug when path contains spaces:
 
1) this works just fine
ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\Temp\file.txt')
 
2) this returns error (in pop up window with title 'Choose file') -
C:\Documents File not found. Please verify the correct file name was given.
ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\Documents and Settings\file.txt')
 
So, for now, until bug is removed, just make sure your files for upload do
not have spaces in path.

irb(main):070:0> b = a.split(/\d/)
=> ["ABC"]
irb(main):071:0> b.push(a.sub(b[0],""))
=> ["ABC", "123"]


which gives you the two entries in the array "b".  Not sure how else to do it :)

Subject: [Wtr-general] IE Security Dialog box (HTTP basic
	Authentification/Watir)
Message-ID: <20050808123107.20588.qmail@hosting334.com>

Hi,

  I'm new to watir and ruby, and I'm having the following issue:

The application under test uses HTTP basic authetification for the login.

This causes IE to put up a dialog box requesting the user and password.

And I don't know how to manipulate this particular window from Watir


a search in the maillist has returned this post:

http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-March/001081.html

Is this the current way (using WinClicker)?

Where I can download the WinClicker?

Regards,

JP

What do you mean with:

(:id, "uploaded_file")?  

If I use (:index, 2) (I can't use the name here) I get the "Choose
file"-dialog box and a DOS-cmd-box showing all windows he finds (?).
Thats all, I have to select a file by myself. There are no spaces in
path, as far as I see.

Try this (make sure you have 'file.txt' in 'C:\'):

 

require 'watir'

ie = Watir::IE.start('http://validator.w3.org/')

ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\file.txt')

 

There seems to be a bug when path contains spaces:

 

1) this works just fine

ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\Temp\file.txt')

 

2) this returns error (in pop up window with title 'Choose file') -
C:\Documents File not found. Please verify the correct file name was
given.

ie.file_field(:id,'uploaded_file').set('C:\Documents and
Settings\file.txt')

 

So, for now, until bug is removed, just make sure your files for upload
do not have spaces in path.

How can I open a file by using a file_field?

If I use:

ie.file_field(:name, fieldname).set(complete path)

I get the normal Windows- "Open file"-dialog. How can I now select a
file, or type the name using watir?

Or must I use something different?

Thanks!

(:id, "uploaded_file") is how you can access file field at
http://validator.w3.org/, it is just an example.

That cmd window showing all windows should be there for a few seconds, and
then it dissapears, and the file is selected. Try example from my previous
post and wait for cmd window to close (about 10 seconds at my box).

Hi all,

We started evaluating Watir for porting a large subset of our automated 
tests
from Quicktest. In the process, we had to build supporting classes on 
top of
Watir to suit our needs. We are sure that these additions will be 
beneficial to
all in the community. (In fact there were a lot of other people who have 
run
into similar issues). Therefore, we decided to release this enhancement as
an opensource work. The framework is available for download at

  http://www.wet.qantom.org

WET, as it is called, is a great compliment to Watir. 

WET has the following features in a nutshell:

1) Object identification using multiple parameters
2) Object repository to store objects
3) Better popup handling
4) Easy manipulation of checkpoints
5) Results presented as HTML
6) Datatables
7) Test exeuction is controlled by a single
test definition file.

We have found this framework very helpful and hope this is
going to be a great add-on and help all the users in the
community.

Thanks
Raghu Venkataramana

Within the WATiR distribution there are a number of examples as well
as an extensive unit test directory.

If you look in the unit tests for WinHelper ... it will show you what
you are after.

Basically, you need to create a Thread that runs WinHelper and use
it's logon method ( which provides it with the title of the window to
watch and the username & password to use in the dialog )...

Then in a separate thread actuall cause your IE object to go to the URL .

It's pretty simple and as I said there is an example of this within
the WATiR unit tests.

The code isn't hard to follow.

I notice that in the last release the style attribute was converted to class_name for div elements.

I'm trying to use it to get the css class of a div, but I can't seem to get it to work - it doesn't return anything. Is 
it just me or is it broken?

string = "ABC12345"
numPos = string =~ /\d/ 
alpha = string.slice(0,numPos)
number = string.slice(numPos, string.length - numPos).to_i

Subject: [Wtr-general] New, improved support for popup dialogs
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050808213355.03110fd8@127.0.0.1>

I've committed the initial version of new code for supporting popup dialogs.

Using this code:
- You don't have to use separate 'mini-scripts.'
- You don't have to spawn a process.
- You don't have to spawn a thread.

This is all done for you behind the scenes.

You use it like this:

         require 'watir/dialog'
         $ie.remote_eval <<-END
                 button(:value, 'whatever').click
         END
         dialog.button('OK').click

Note that remote_eval takes a string argument. This is the same:

         ie.remote_eval "button(:value, 'whatever').click"

The code in the string is evaluated in the context of an equivalent IE 
object in an independent process.

See dialog_tests.rb for more examples.

I am very interested in getting feedback on the names of the interface for 
this functionality: "remote_eval", "dialog", etc

Get the development tarball:
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/watir/watir.tar.gz?tarball=1&cvsroot=wtr

This code currently supports simple dialogs. Next is to add support for the 
authorization dialogs -- a frequently requested thing. I really would like 
to have unit tests for this, which means i need a quick server that does 
authorization. Anyone know how to roll one with webrick?

Within the WATiR distribution there are a number of examples as well as
an extensive unit test directory.

If you look in the unit tests for WinHelper ... it will show you what
you are after.

Basically, you need to create a Thread that runs WinHelper and use it's
logon method ( which provides it with the title of the window to watch
and the username & password to use in the dialog )...

Then in a separate thread actuall cause your IE object to go to the URL
.

It's pretty simple and as I said there is an example of this within the
WATiR unit tests.

The code isn't hard to follow.

Subject: [Wtr-general] New, improved support for popup dialogs
In-Reply-To: <5.1.0.14.2.20050808213355.03110fd8@127.0.0.1>
Message-ID: <42f86084.7484fc46.4861.ffffe4dc@mx.gmail.com>

It is just what I need.
But...

This is my script:

require 'watir/dialog'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.remote_eval "ie.link(:text, 'Delete this list').click"
dialog.button('OK').click

Error appears after running it: undefined local variable or method `dialog'
for main:Object (NameError)

When I add:

include Watir

to my script (as in dialog_tests.rb) it works fine.
Am I doing something wrong, or should I just add 'include Watir' to my
scripts?

Subject: [Wtr-general] New, improved support for popup dialogs

I've committed the initial version of new code for supporting popup dialogs.

Using this code:
- You don't have to use separate 'mini-scripts.'
- You don't have to spawn a process.
- You don't have to spawn a thread.

This is all done for you behind the scenes.

You use it like this:

         require 'watir/dialog'
         $ie.remote_eval <<-END
                 button(:value, 'whatever').click
         END
         dialog.button('OK').click

Note that remote_eval takes a string argument. This is the same:

         ie.remote_eval "button(:value, 'whatever').click"

The code in the string is evaluated in the context of an equivalent IE 
object in an independent process.

See dialog_tests.rb for more examples.

I am very interested in getting feedback on the names of the interface for 
this functionality: "remote_eval", "dialog", etc

Get the development tarball:
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/watir/watir.tar.gz?tarball=1&cvsroo
t=wtr

This code currently supports simple dialogs. Next is to add support for the 
authorization dialogs -- a frequently requested thing. I really would like 
to have unit tests for this, which means i need a quick server that does 
authorization. Anyone know how to roll one with webrick?

Hi,

 

I just ran the filefield_test.rb in the unittests folder.  When the file
executed, another command window opened and started to print out a bunch
of text while the "choose file" window was opening.   The "choose file"
window remained open for about 10 seconds, and at this time the command
window just kept on printing some stuff out.  I don't know if the file
was finally selected because after 10 seconds, the windows closed.  Has
anyone else encountered this problem?

 

Here's a snippet of the printout:

It's not a nomal Windows error, ist says: "file can't be saved (1120)" 

  I don't think that helps, there are no spaces in the file path, or is
there a problem using file names like "one_two.xls"?

Nuemann, Zelko,

I have been able to set all the file fields in the fileupload.html 
unittest sample
without any problems.Could it be a file permissions issue that you are 
running
into (I saw you mentioned - file can?t be saved (1120))


In fact I just dont have any issue with any kind of POPUPS


I tried all variants of file names like,
one_two.xls
dir with spaces\test.txt
I dont have any problems at all. Could it be a permission issue: Here's the
sample I tried for the file_fields:

-----------------------
require 'WET'
include WET

Browser("title:=Test page for File Fields").File("index:=1" 
).set("c:\\dir with spaces\\dir 5\\one_two.xls")

my_dir="c:\\dir with spaces\\"
all_dirs = [ "dir1", "dir2", "dir 3", "dir 4", "dir 5"]
file_name = "test.txt"

count = 1
all_dirs.each do |d|
f = my_dir + d + "\\" + file_name
puts f
Browser("title:=Test page for File Fields").File("index:=" + 
count.to_s()).set f
count = count + 1
if count == 3
count = 4
end
end
--------------------

My directory listing is
c:\dir with spaces
c:\dir with spaces\dir1\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir2\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir 3\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir 4\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir 5\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir 5\one_two.xls
---------------------

You have to define method BEFORE you can use it:

# define method first
def method1
end

# then you can use it
method1

Hi Hue,

Have you also set the RUBYLIB environment variable?

QWT_HOME always points to your WET installation directory.

If your system does not already have RUBYLIB environment variable set,
then RUBYLIB will point to the same directory as QWT_HOME.

On my machine, when I do a set command, I see the following:

    QWT_HOME=D:\Wet\ruby
    RUBYLIB=D:\WET\RUBY

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi Satti,
Follow your hint, I got the WET ran. I use this method for show all
objects

Browser("title:= Client").show_all_objects()

I got the result 
-----------Objects in  page -------------
HTML Document     name=leftframe      id=                 src=mainmenu
HTML Document     name=rightframe     id=                 src=blank.html


So I define the script like this

...
Browser("title:=Elpida EES
Client").Frame("leftframe").show_all_objects()

When I run it, I got the error 

DEBUG: OLE=
-----------Objects in  page -------------
D:/Applications/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1844:in

fined method `document' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

all_objects'
        from D:/Project/Elpida EES
Fab2/Automation/MyScript/sample/sample.rb:5

Actually, when use only watir, I develop the script as like this, It
work

ie.frame("leftframe").show_all_object


Does have any incorrect at here?

Thank you for help

Hi Hue,

Thats great that u got that working. 

For all the objects you have to specify ("name:=value") pair.  So in 
that way even your frame would be like

Browser("title:=Elpida EES Client").Frame("name:=leftframe").show_all_objects()

We have not done extensive testing on frames but the way that the code has written you should be able to use frame with the
id , index, name and any html tag.

Try that out and let us know how it goez

Thanks
Satti

Iain;

I think this is what you are talking about, and it sounds like something
I've seen. This isn't much consolation for now (hopefully something better
will appear for this with Bret's work on popups), but I have also had
problems in the past with the Security Window when testing an app without a
security certificate installed. It would work on Win2K, but not XP. To
workaround it (and since end users don't see that window because a
production system has proper security certificates), I installed a
certificate on my test machine.

Now that Bret has commited some new changes, I'd recommend trying those out
to see if they work. If you've been having problems in the past, you'd be an
excellent test candidate. :)

Message-ID: <42f8b771.01ed3121.3ded.0b31@mx.gmail.com>

I looked at dialog.rb and changed

	dialog.button('OK').click

to

	Watir::Dialog.new.button('OK').click

and now it works even without

	include Watir

It is just what I need.
But...

This is my script:

require 'watir/dialog'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.remote_eval "ie.link(:text, 'Delete this list').click"
dialog.button('OK').click

Error appears after running it: undefined local variable or method `dialog'
for main:Object (NameError)

When I add:

include Watir

to my script (as in dialog_tests.rb) it works fine.
Am I doing something wrong, or should I just add 'include Watir' to my
scripts?

Subject: [Wtr-general] New, improved support for popup dialogs

I've committed the initial version of new code for supporting popup dialogs.

Using this code:
- You don't have to use separate 'mini-scripts.'
- You don't have to spawn a process.
- You don't have to spawn a thread.

This is all done for you behind the scenes.

You use it like this:

         require 'watir/dialog'
         $ie.remote_eval <<-END
                 button(:value, 'whatever').click
         END
         dialog.button('OK').click

Note that remote_eval takes a string argument. This is the same:

         ie.remote_eval "button(:value, 'whatever').click"

The code in the string is evaluated in the context of an equivalent IE 
object in an independent process.

See dialog_tests.rb for more examples.

I am very interested in getting feedback on the names of the interface for 
this functionality: "remote_eval", "dialog", etc

Get the development tarball:
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/watir/watir.tar.gz?tarball=1&cvsroo
t=wtr

This code currently supports simple dialogs. Next is to add support for the 
authorization dialogs -- a frequently requested thing. I really would like 
to have unit tests for this, which means i need a quick server that does 
authorization. Anyone know how to roll one with webrick?

The problem with the file upload is solved, it was my mistake. But still I have to select the file by myself in the "Choose file" window. After I clicked "open" it continues. 
The same problem occurs when running filefield_test.rb from the unittests folder, I still have to select the file (or even select the right folder before) by myself, before he continues uploading the file.
If it is because of permissions, what permissions do I need to use this?

Betreff: Re: AW: [Wtr-general] fileField problems

Nuemann, Zelko,

I have been able to set all the file fields in the fileupload.html 
unittest sample
without any problems.Could it be a file permissions issue that you are 
running
into (I saw you mentioned - file can't be saved (1120))


In fact I just dont have any issue with any kind of POPUPS


I tried all variants of file names like,
one_two.xls
dir with spaces\test.txt
I dont have any problems at all. Could it be a permission issue: Here's the
sample I tried for the file_fields:

-----------------------
require 'WET'
include WET

Browser("title:=Test page for File Fields").File("index:=1" 
).set("c:\\dir with spaces\\dir 5\\one_two.xls")

my_dir="c:\\dir with spaces\\"
all_dirs = [ "dir1", "dir2", "dir 3", "dir 4", "dir 5"]
file_name = "test.txt"

count = 1
all_dirs.each do |d|
f = my_dir + d + "\\" + file_name
puts f
Browser("title:=Test page for File Fields").File("index:=" + 
count.to_s()).set f
count = count + 1
if count == 3
count = 4
end
end
--------------------

My directory listing is
c:\dir with spaces
c:\dir with spaces\dir1\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir2\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir 3\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir 4\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir 5\test.txt
c:\dir with spaces\dir 5\one_two.xls
---------------------

Subject: [Wtr-general] Very slow speeds
Message-ID: <A691DDF15ACC1B43BFDAFF7C9C684DD20D9BF5@igdser.intruguarddevices.com>

I am having a problem with slow speeds using watir (both 1.3 and 1.4). I have a page with about 2000 text fields 1000 of those have ID tags the other do not.  Navigating to this page is very fast however when the script is entering data into the fields via ID tags it is very slow, about one text field per 15 seconds.  Is this just too much for watir to handle quickly or should I be seeing faster speeds?
 
Thanks,
Josh

Subject: [Wtr-general] Very slow speeds
Message-ID: <2bffe612c003f1.2c003f12bffe61@shaw.ca>

I suspect its too big for watir. We need to go through each field to examine its id.

There is potentially something we can do, but Id have to look to see how we would manage it.

In some instances, we are able to use the getElementById method of IE, but this only works on top level items - ie It wouldnt work for ie.table().text_field(:id..)

Message-ID: <E1E2WwG-0005HR-TU@visor.electric.net>

I'm getting an error whenever I add require 'watir/dialog' to any script

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in
`require__': No such file to load -- watir/dialog (LoadError)
	from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in `require'
	from V2_Setup.rb:8

I'm guesing that it's due to the way I installed it. I've never installed
Watir from the development tarball before, I always use the installer.

Can you please let me know where I should be extracting the files to?

Thanks

Iain

Subject: [Wtr-general] New, improved support for popup dialogs

I've committed the initial version of new code for supporting popup dialogs.

Using this code:
- You don't have to use separate 'mini-scripts.'
- You don't have to spawn a process.
- You don't have to spawn a thread.

This is all done for you behind the scenes.

You use it like this:

         require 'watir/dialog'
         $ie.remote_eval <<-END
                 button(:value, 'whatever').click
         END
         dialog.button('OK').click

Note that remote_eval takes a string argument. This is the same:

         ie.remote_eval "button(:value, 'whatever').click"

The code in the string is evaluated in the context of an equivalent IE
object in an independent process.

See dialog_tests.rb for more examples.

I am very interested in getting feedback on the names of the interface for
this functionality: "remote_eval", "dialog", etc

Get the development tarball:
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/watir/watir.tar.gz?tarball=1&cvsroo
t=wtr

This code currently supports simple dialogs. Next is to add support for the
authorization dialogs -- a frequently requested thing. I really would like
to have unit tests for this, which means i need a quick server that does
authorization. Anyone know how to roll one with webrick?

Message-ID: <51A0D9881DD5F1498CA1AAC9D30AFD2C1DBAE3@corhouexs08m.corp.epec.com>

Hello,

I've just started working with WET and am impressed.  It is a great
accomplishment and contribution to the WATIR testing community.

The HTML based results and DataTables are high on my list of 'features' 
I'll use immediatley the XML object repository is next, but takes a bit
more to setup to play with.

Though I am reluctant to say so I'm having a problem with the resplendid
toolkit.  Seems when I run my test.qwt file everything
worksz...particulary like the html results file.  Cool!  However, I have
one problem and a question.  I'm getting stack overflow errors after
clicking a button and its waiting for the page to refresh.  The refresh
takes about 3 seconds.  The overflow message appears to be caused by
wait. 

Helow I've included: 

1.) Text from the html log; 
2.) Stack overflow message from the console
3.) Test.QWT script


1.) Text from the html log;
===========================
Creating new browser window
Navigating to http://localhost/WebUI/Portal/
Clicking WebLink(text:=Vendor: Maintenance)
Setting WebEdit(name:=txtMasterId) to 350
Clicking WebButton(value:=Retrieve)
stack level too deep => Error



2.) Stack overflow message from the console
=========================================== 
stack level too deep

this keeps repeating this until the page refreshes...and then prints...



e:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1849:in
`waitForIE'
E:\TAG\ep000120\_INSTALL\WATIR\WET/qantom/webobjects/WebObject.rb:46:in

E:/TAG/ep000120/_INSTALL/WATIR/WET/qantom/WetRunner.rb:39


3.) Test.QWT script
===================
Browser.new().goto("http://localhost/WebUI/Portal/")
Browser("title:=//").Link("text:=/Vendor: Maint.+/").click
Browser("title:=//").Frame("index:=3").TextField("name:=/txtMasterI.+/")
set("350")
Browser("title:=//").Frame("index:=3").Button("value:=Retrieve").click



Sorry, I'm not very versed in Ruby so I couldn't diagnose what's going
on here...but could use some help

Again, Thanks for your generosity to the community with this exceptional
tool.

I have my test cases set up the same way and it doesn't matter if you
define the method before or after.  I"ve seen that error before and
it's as simple as changing:

method1

to

method1()

Hi Kim,

Thanks for Your good words.

Actually Hue found the same problem and we just fixed it.  We posted the 
Latest Zip files in WET's download area.
Download the new files and then install it.  That should work fine.  And 
keep them comming.

Thanks
Satti

Thanks, hindsight is a wonderful thing ...

I can get dialog_tests.rb to run without issues now although the installer
gave an error message.

Is this anything to be concerned about?

You need to run the install.rb script.

Thanks Bret, it was me and not Watir. I was setting the elements class in javascript using setAttribute("class", "the 
value") rather than "className". So of course it didn't work.

I do think there is something hokey with div's though because trying to print out a div throws

NoMethodError: undefined method `style' for #<Watir::Div:0x2d7b660>
     c:/tools/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2211:in `span_div_string_creator'
     c:/tools/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2222:in `to_s'

It seems that you missed a reference to style when you were changing it to className.

Thanks for a great tool.

You should be fine.

I've committed a fix to the installer to avoid this problem in the future. 
The problem is due to the fact that the rdocs aren't in the tar ball.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Watir::Form questions
Message-ID: <20050809151350.7ca251b8@localhost.localdomain>

I would like to be able to use form objects in my tests, but have
become confused - as the questions below will no doubt illustrate.
I have some tests that I've written in perl using www::mechanize that I
would like to port to ruby.

The Watir api docs (rdoc) show the following for Class Watir::Form:

Form Factory object

    * ieController - an instance of an IEController
    * how - symbol - how we access the form
(:name, :id, :index, :action, :method)
    * what - what we use to access the form

1.  what is "IEController"?  is this a part of the watir distribution?
2.  the first argument passed to initialize is "container" - what is
this?
3.  the watir unittests don't use Watir::Form, the formtest calls
ie.form.  what's the connection between the two?  how are a Watir::Form
object and the object returned by ie.form related?

A simple example of the use of Watir::Form would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Warren

If your html looks like this:
<form name=abc1 method=post action =/do/something>
<input type=text name = the_text_field>
</form>

you would use a form like this:

ie.form(:name , 'abc1').text_field(:name , 'the_text_field').set('567')

There are more examples in the form_test.rb unit tests


what happens is the form method of ie creates the form object you are talking about, so you dont really need to worry about creating it yourself

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD3447109AA0CA@iris.win.barra.com>

Back again with this issue.

 

One of our engineers did some testing and here are his comments:

 

"The error occurs in the watir.rb file in the wait() method, around line
1470. The wait() method is called after the goto method has been issued and
is waiting for all the frames in IE to show that they are ready. It is
walking the list of frameset com objects when it reaches one object that
does not understand the document call. This generates the error. It does not
happen when I attempt to use watir to localhost. All the frameset objects
provide a document."

 

Bret, I am not sure how to go about "debugging" this further?  We are still
struggling with this and cannot use WATIR unless we resolve this issue.
Your suggestion of using 'goto' the frame's url and then go from there
cannot be implemented in our application since the same frame URL is used
for different tabs and therefore cannot be differentiated enough for the
"goto" statement to work.
I hope this makes sense.  Also launching many IEs is kind of messy and slows
down the automation script which defeats the purpose of using WATIR.  Your
help is appreciated.

I saw the form method being used in the form_test.rb unittest, but
didn't see how Watir::Form fit in.  I see the light!  :-)

Thanks, I appreciate your help

Subject: [Wtr-general] New, improved support for popup dialogs
In-Reply-To: <5.1.0.14.2.20050809131207.0369ad00@127.0.0.1>
Message-ID: <E1E2cT3-0005cQ-Uj@sarge.electric.net>

Thanks, 

One more question, does this only work with buttons that trigger dialog
boxes?

I've ran dialog_test.rb to completion without any issues and also created my
tests that clear dialogs after clicking a button. However, in the
application I'm testing there's a link which triggers the dialog box.

I've finally found a way to successfully clear this using the older method

i.e.

	controls = ie2.frame(:name, "Controls")
		
	Thread.new { system("rubyw \"#{$mydir}\\jscriptExtraConfirmOk.rb\"")
}
	controls.link(:index, 2).click()


I've tried to replace this with the newer method

i.e.

	controls = ie2.frame(:name, "Controls")
	
	controls.remote_eval "link(:index, 2).click()"
	dialog.button('OK').click

but get an error

NoMethodError: undefined method `document' for nil:NilClass
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1237:in `title'
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/Watir/Dialog.rb:43:in `remote_eval'
    LMDC_Invites.rb:292:in `test_LMDC_submit'
    LMDC_Invites.rb:136:in `each'
    LMDC_Invites.rb:136:in `test_LMDC_submit'

Are the any special rules for this scenario? Or for clearing security alerts
/ submitting network logons?

cheers

Iain

You should be fine.

I've committed a fix to the installer to avoid this problem in the future. 
The problem is due to the fact that the rdocs aren't in the tar ball.

Instead try this:

         ie2.remote_eval "frame(:name, 'controls').link(:index, 2).click()"
         dialog.button('OK').click

The key point is that remote_eval is a method of IE, and not of any other 
class.

I get it now, thanks for correcting me.

I think I'm getting closer to success, the code you provded below now clicks
on the link that triggers the popup but instead of clearing it, I get a
different error...

	ie2.remote_eval "frame(:name, 'Controls').link(:index, 2).click()"
	dialog.button('OK').click

gives

Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException:

Bret,
Im assuming you've named remote_eval that based on what it is doing. I dont find it a very intuitive name. Maybe something like one of these:

ie.execute_command( )
ie.run_command()
ie.delayed_execution()  # is it actually delayed??

THis does look really good, thanks for doing it. This had always ben the weakest part of watir, an now we have a nice solution

Paul

There is a method in Ruby which is called 'eval'. It takes a string and 
evaluates it as Ruby code.

IE#remote_eval is based on this, hence the name. Python and Perl and Lisp 
all have eval methods that do the same thing, so the name is pretty well 
established and understood by anyone who has used any of these languages. 
Eval is short for evaluate, which is the name for what you do when you run 
code in an interpreted language. The equivalent with a compiled language 
would be "compile, link and execute."

This varient of eval does two things in addition:
1. It evaluates in a separate process spawned by a separate thread.
2. It evaluates in the context of an IE object that is the equivalent to 
the one that invoked the method. It actually uses Ruby's instance_eval to 
do this.

People who want to learn more about what this method does would do well to 
learn more about eval and instance_eval, so it might be good to base the 
name on these methods.

Here are some other possible names:

         remote_instance_eval
         sub_process_eval
         process_eval
         parallel_instance_eval

In a way, Watir shouldn't force users to even have to understand this 
concept (and i have ideas for how to eventually get there), but since it 
does now, i'm reluctant to sugar coat it too much.

I'm not sure what a 'command' is in Ruby. It's a not part of the Watir or 
Ruby lexicon.

IE#remote_eval can actually take any ruby code as its argument (in string 
form), including multiple method calls separated by semicolons or 
conditional logic or what have you. (You can embed 'puts' statements in the 
string to debug errors.)

>ie.delayed_execution()  # is it actually delayed??

No. Actually the argument code and the subsequent code are running in 
parallel and either might actually be the next to be executed. Neither is 
delayed.

Hi Hue,

The error that you get indicates that the second level frame (name:=search)
could not be identified. Could you try a

Browser("title:=Client").Frame("name:=leftframe").show_frames()

and see if the name is not misspelt or duplicate? If it is a
duplicate, then you could try to add the second index identifier, 
eg.:- Frame("name:-search", "index:=1"). 

Let us know if it works. 

Thanks
Raghu

Ya, I really don't like the name either, as it (deeply) exposes the
implementation, IMHO. That said, here's my hypocritical votes:

* spawn_eval
* forked_eval
* eval_newthread
* newthread_eval
* run_on_new_thread

That said, why not just lie to us (as object models are wont to do) and have
the API match my intent:

ie.alert.dismiss_when_shown(:value, "OK") 
ie.button(:name,"btnfoo").click

If you have a bug that you really want to see fixed, here's what you should do:

1. Send email to this list (wtr-general). Sometimes we can fix it fast, or 
we can give a workaround, or someone will tell you that you made a mistake. 
Sometimes we'll just say "yeah that's a bug."

2. File a bug report on Rubyforge. You can just paste your email report 
there (esp. if we said it was a bug). You can also send an email to this 
list with a link to the bug if you want. (Like this: 
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2219&group_id=104&atid=487)

It's not annoying or whiny to do both. It's helpful.

Bret

I propose we remove IE#capture_events and related code. I understand that 
IE.attach is always a better method -- easier to use; more likely to work. 
Objections?

This is an interesting idea. It does require the inverted sequencing that i 
was trying to avoid, but the result is, overall, probably easier to understand.

Is "ie.alert" more intuitive than "ie.dialog"? What about "ie.popup"? One 
principle that i've tried to following in naming Watir methods is to use 
the HTML or JavaScript names for things. The JavaScript name is in fact 
"alert" (and "confirm").

ie.alert sounds good to me.
 
I haven't had a chance to use this new code yet...can I do a show_all_objects on the popup?
Can it select items in drop down lists yet?
 
Cheers,

Have you tried using the -f command line switch? This speeds up our unit 
tests by a factor of 2, but the optimizations focus on text fields, so you 
may see an even better improvement.

You are talking about Modal Web Dialogs. These include HTML.

The only way i know of for handling them is to, first, use ie.remote_eval 
to click the link or button that posts the modal (so it doesn't hang your 
script), and then use ie.send_keys to send key events to the window to make 
it go away. I don't know of any way to access the data on these kinds of 
dialogs.

The only idea i have for a really good solution would be to make sense of 
this code:
   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q249232/

But i fear that this can't be converted to Ruby directly and therefore 
would require a C library for Watir -- and i'm too dumb for that. Volunteers?

I say, as popups are very different from alerts, that they should be treated
very differently. 

Other thoughts:

ie.upcoming_alert(...).click
ie.handle_upcoming_alert(...)
ie.dismiss_upcoming_alert(...)

If you're really trying to avoid the inverted sequencing, the holy grail is
simply

ie.button(:id,"foo").click #html button causes alert()
ie.alert(:value,"OK).click

This is an interesting idea. It does require the inverted sequencing that i 
was trying to avoid, but the result is, overall, probably easier to
understand.

Is "ie.alert" more intuitive than "ie.dialog"? What about "ie.popup"? One 
principle that i've tried to following in naming Watir methods is to use 
the HTML or JavaScript names for things. The JavaScript name is in fact 
"alert" (and "confirm").

Message-ID: <2d806522d7ed09.2d7ed092d80652@shaw.ca>

Bret, 
your recent addition of the onBlur event to text boxes got me thinking. 

Does IE fire the onBlur event already with out us adding it, if you explicitly set focus to another item. Eg, using the code BEFORE the addition ( I havent tried this )

ie.text_field(:index,1).set('hi')
# does the blur on text_field get fired by the next line?
ie.button(:index,1).focus  

It seems, that this should work, but because of the way we access IE maybe it didnt happen. Id like to make sure so we dont end up firing multiple events.

Paul

I don't know for sure whether IE (meaning Microsoft IE, not Watir::IE) 
would automatically fire the onBlur event. But I was under the impression 
that it never sends extra events when accessed via COM as we do. That's why 
we have to explicitly fire events. True?

I also don't understand how multiple onBlur events would lead to trouble. 
This would be like clicking into and then out of a text field right? 
Usually harmless.

The thing to do is to attach some code to the event in question and then 
observe when it is fired. Right?

its certainly easy for us to verify this, I was just hoping you'd already done the work :-)

Firing these extra events can have some unexpected results, Id seen one which led me change the radio/checkbox events a few weeks back.

Hi Hue,

Have you also set the RUBYLIB environment variable?

QWT_HOME always points to your WET installation directory.

If your system does not already have RUBYLIB environment variable set, then
RUBYLIB will point to the same directory as QWT_HOME.

On my machine, when I do a set command, I see the following:

    QWT_HOME=D:\Wet\ruby
    RUBYLIB=D:\WET\RUBY

Let me know if this works for you.

I've had unintended results as well, especially when developers use a lot of
JavaScript to trigger different results. I've seen problems where an
"onClick" and "onFocus" event was trap and handle a double-click. The extra
fire_events caused all clicks to be trapped as double clicks. In another
case, one has fired before another in a way unintended by the script which
caused a race condition error in the JavaScript handling. These are somewhat
rare, but underline why I prefer doing fire_events by hand in some cases.
Most of the time I'm happy with them kicking off without having to worry
about it, but there are some cases where they produce unintended results.

Message-ID: <b539c61e050810105962f32a5c@mail.gmail.com>

I've got a situation where I'm doing the whole dual-thread thing for
WinHelper ...

but, sometimes it doesn't like it if there is already a window open
... If I close all of my IE windows then run the script it seems to be
happier.

Also, sometimes, in the login fields from the auth dialog, sometimes
the text is garbled...

Is this stuff that's fixed in 1.4 ?

and, I haven't seen any documentation on how to upgrade between versions... 

Should I simple blow out my lib/ruby/1.8/watir directory and do another install?

Let me know... 

Thanks.

For a while, new bug reports were automatically being sent to this list.

This stopped when we tightened security on the list to block spam.

Now it is working again. This is important, because recently people have 
been posting bug reports to the tracker, but neither Paul nor i new they 
were there.

So, 

Is there a clean way to deal with some of the things I'm running into ?

Is there anything I can do to help with any of these kinds of things?

A clean way to deal with this is under development. You can look at what we 
have so far, which is the development tarball, but not 1.4.

Or you can stick with the WinHelper approach, which works, even if it is 
awkward.

Message:
Brett, I have read the thread, and found there what I needed.
Now there's another question. I'm using remote_eval from within a frame, 
and an object I need clicked is not clicked. No error returned:

ie1 = ie.frame(:name, "MyFrame")
require 'watir/dialog'
ie.remote_eval <<-END
   ie1.image(:id, "ImageID").click
END

ie is attached to a frame window, not to the frame source; ie1 is a frame. 
What's wrong?

I tried attaching ie to the frame source URL, but it does not work.

Thanks for your help.
Anna.

----

Try

   ie.remote_eval "frame(:name, 'MyFrame').image(:id, 'ImageID').click"

I tried that already, and there's no error but the image is not
clicked - or at least there's no result of it being clicked: it does
not open a new window it's supposed to open.

Message-ID: <99DF6C0285C2CE4C99F02D78385719660181B650@hue.cybersoft-vn.com>

Dear All,
My application table display data as like this

-----------------------------------------------

        |  V1   | V2 ..
| Row 1 | -------------------------------------

When I use method: table(..).to_a
I got this result:
=> [["Col 1", "Col 2", "Col 3",..], ["Row 1", "V1", "V2",..], ["V3",
"V4",..],"Row 3", "V5", "V5",..] ]

Looking this result, I found this value ["V3", "V4",..] missing 1
column.

So any solution for this table, that mean I would like the value get
from table always don't missing any column and row in case have row span
or column span
Ex: With the case above, I would like the value I got from table as like
this:

[["Col 1", "Col 2", "Col 3",..], ["Row 1", "V1", "V2",..], ["nil", "V3",

"V3", "V4",..],"Row 3", "V5", "V5",..] ]

Thank you for help.

I took a quick look at this, and I don't know how we would do it. Using
my example table below, The table itself only has 2 cells on the row
after the rowspan.

Even other methods like the one below only show it has having 2 cells, I
guess cos in reality it does only have 2 cells.
irb(main):011:0> puts ie.table(:index,1).row_values(3)
c2
c3


Sorry I couldn't help more

Paul



<html>
<body>
<table border=1>
<tr>
  <td>c1<td>c2<td>c3
<tr >
  <td rowSpan=2 >2 rows<td>c2<td>c3
<tr>
                <td>c2<td>c3
<tr>
 <td>Normal<td>c2<td>c3

The file upload using a file field still doesn't work, it's stopped by the "choose file" window.
In the command box that appears it says i.e. "getWindowHandle - looking for: Choose file"
May be he doesn't find it because in my German Windows version this window is called: "Datei ausw?hlen" 
Can that be the reason?
 
Thanks!

I think this is it. We have another report from a french speaker:

   http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1713&group_id=104&atid=487

Can you tell me how to create a string that contains an a-umlaut if i don't 
have a german keyboard?

using alt codes ...  like hold alt and type 0254 ( and release alt
)... that's how you type extended characters.

Subject: [Wtr-general] clearSecurityAlertBox() doesn't work?
Message-ID: <24d0cb38050811130841164bb1@mail.gmail.com>

Ok guys help me out..

I am trying to set up a login script to learn to use Watir as i plan on 
switching from SAMIE/Perl to Watir/Ruby. Here i have simple script made just 
to test how it would react and work with simple login to any site.

Expected:

The script should emulate user and login to the mentioned site. After 
successful login, it should either detect and log whether it was on correct 
URl or not. Also, it should check for string "today!" in the text on that 
URL. But according to this script, it always fails.

1) It doesn't take care of SSL popup. Should it be working, if so, what do i 
need to add/remove/edit in following script to make it work?
2) How can i set it to check whether it is on expected URL or not? I have 
assert ie.url in my script but that didn't seem to work and always gave a 
fail.

require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'

#logger includes
require 'example_logger1'

class TC_SSO_example < Test::Unit::TestCase

def start
#open the IE browser
$ie = IE.new
filePrefix = "test_logger1"
#create a logger 
$logger = LoggerFactory.start_xml_logger(filePrefix) 
$ie.set_logger($logger)
end


def test_Login

start
test_site = 'http://www.SeattleSymphony.com'
test_success_URL = '
http://www.seattlesymphony.org/symphony/index.aspx?month=9&year=2005&tries=1
'
$logger.log("")

#ie = IE.new
$ie.goto(test_site)
$ie.link(:text, "Login").click
$ie.text_field(:name, "template:tx_LoginName").set("mytestlogin")
$ie.text_field(:name, "template:tx_Password").set("mytestlogin")
$ie.button(:name, "template:btn_Login").click
#wc = WinClicker.new
#wc.clearSecurityAlertBox() <---- on enabling this and above, it starts 
dumping lots of irrelavent stuff.
#clearSecurityAlertBox() <---- obviously doesn't work as it.

begin
assert($ie.contains_text("today!"))
assert($ie.url(test_success_URL))
$logger.log("Passed. User has sucessfully logged in")
$logger.log_results("test_Login", "mytestlogin", "test_URL", "TEST PASSED.")
rescue => e
$logger.log("*FAILED*." + e.message + "\n" + e.backtrace.join("\n"))
$logger.log_results("test_Login", "mytestlogin", "test_URL", "TEST FAILED.") 
#logs to both the XML file and corelogger 

end

$logger.log '## End of test Login'
$logger.end_log #close XML log file
end


end

Apologies in advance for a rank newbie question. I've
skimmed the mailing list and noticed various references to
this problem, but nothing that helped me.

I'm using Ruby 1.8.2-15 and Watir v1.4 on Windows XP. I'm
testing a website that triggers a "Security Alert" window.
I'd like to dismiss (automatically click on the Yes button)
this window.

I've tried the code below, but hang on IE.start, so the

Is there another way to dismiss the Windows security alert

Hi ALL,
My structure folder as like this
My Script
-- config
   -- configLoad.xml
-- Util
   -- report.rb
-- testcases
   -- tc1.rb

I define the report.rb as like this

$LOAD_PATH << '..' if $0 == __FILE__
...
Configurator.load_xml_file('../config/configLoad.xml')
..

In tc1.rb
I use some method in report.rb

When I run it from console, don't have any problem
But when I run it within rbt (one plugin for Eclipse)
I got this error

D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/log4r/configurator.rb:56:in `initialize':

Is any incorrect with my script?
Thank you for help

Well this line stands out to me:

    ^
   this slash  is different than the rest..that's my guess :)

That would be my guess as well. I haven't used RDT in about a month, but I
remember having path problems once in a while.

I think Hue is right.

    D:\MyScript/Util/config/configLoad.xml

I have seen this output many a time and seems like 
the way Ruby interprets the path. In the cases when 
I hit the problem, it was simply that the file _was_ 
missing.

Message-ID: <99DF6C0285C2CE4C99F02D78385719660181BB0A@hue.cybersoft-vn.com>

Hi,
I think the problem cause with 

D:/Applications/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/log4r/configurator.rb

don't know the base directory. 

When I run the TC.rb from console the ruby interpreter get the current
directory as base path. So it executed without problem.

And in case I run it within Eclipse IDE. I think Ruby interpreter or
Eclipse Plug-in got the wrong base path so this problem occurs as like
this

D:/Applications/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/log4r/configurator.rb:56:in
`initialize': No such file or directory - ../config/configLoad.xml
(Errno::ENOENT)

Thank you for help
Hue

It does the navigation ok, just doesn?t do the set on a text field - is
that right? What about other controls? Can you read values from a text
field?

What OS are you using?

Subject: [Wtr-general] test::unit question
Message-ID: <63915d6a05081208192e57f9af@mail.gmail.com>

This may have been covered in the mailing list before, I searched all
the messages I have and didn't find anything (is there a reason there
isn't a searchable archive for this mailing list?)

I am a Watir newbie, and also, not an OO programmer.  I apologize up
front for what is likely to be poor terminology. My first script was
straightforward, I included everything in one script, and I used the
test::unit assertions to good effect. I had to have a class to do
this.

My coworker who is more script savvy (he's a Perl programmer) came up
with what seems to me to be a good way to organize our scripts, with
modules in a lib directory that we can use from our scripts.  These
have no classes.  I can't get test::unit to work in them, even if I
add classes to both the modules and the main scripts.

I am confused on when to use modules vs. classes or if there is some
way to use them concurrently.  I have looked at all the examples that
came with Watir, but they all appear to be self-contained scripts. 
Are there any examples that might help us with knowing the best way to
organize our tests to maximize reuse and maintainability?
thanks
Lisa

Yes the navigatio seems OK, the error raised even if i try to get the content of a text field,
Ie.text_field(:name, 'name').getContents() 

Again here the stack trace:
Microsoft Windows XP [version 5.1.2600]

D:\siouxWatir\scripts>t2.rb
## Debut test: Sioux Test

Step 1: connexion a sioux:
Step 2: loggin
d:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:805:in `each': Failed to get IEnum Interface (RuntimeError)
    HRESULT error code:0x80004002

        from D:/siouxWatir/scripts/t2.rb:24

At line 24 of file t2.rb i have:
	ie.text_field(:name, 'j_username').getContents()    


Nota: the error raised even if i try to simulate a click on a button with the line:
   ie.button(:name, 'Connexion').click

The initial error is on line 805 of watir.rb, looks like watir can't get the DOM tree?

About the OS is Windows XP, SP1, french version.
Ruby version 1.8.1.2-15 
Watir 1.4.2
I just did what's is tell in the "User Guide" step1 to Step4 except that the problem arrived since step3 (dont pass the unittests step)


Is the problem link with services on windows XP?? The use of the COM interface may be need some extra
Setup, by the way i am the administrator of the machine.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Help Lib Path incorrect?
In-Reply-To: <99DF6C0285C2CE4C99F02D78385719660181B9A8@hue.cybersoft-vn. com>

You are using relative paths: these are relative to the current directory 
-- not the location of the file. The current directory is where the file is 
"run" from. When you run from the console, you are probably running from 
the directory containing the file. By default, eclipse runs from the top of 
the project hierarchy, although this can be changed. Choose the Run... menu 
item, select the arguments tab, and change the 'working directory'.

Or you can use this:

   $LOAD_PATH.<< File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 == __FILE__

This makes the path relative to the location of the file, rather than the 
current directory.

Subject: [Wtr-general] WATIR is slow ???
Message-ID: <a49dde1605081209492be17471@mail.gmail.com>

I started using Watir to automate a small portion of my projects tests. It 
has been wonderfully helpful, and I'd like to thank the Watir team for 
making it available.

I do have, however have a problem. When I execute my program, it takes a 
REALLY long time to run. It is setting about 400 fields, and it was painful 
to watch it move slowly from field to field. I already tried setting it 
"fast mode" and "background" mode and it sped up significantly, but it was 
still slow. 

Fortunately, I generated the WATIR script from the HTML form using JScript. 
As a result of generating it, I used :name to access all of the fields I had 
to set. Unfortunately, I had hand-edited my generated script to put 
'realistic' values into all of the fields, so it would have been a PITA to 
write new methods to set all of the fields. The fix I used was to overwrite 
the WATIR text_box, select_list, radio and checkbox methods to access the 
DOM directly instead of 'typing' the values into the fields. This changed 
the execution time from about 3.5 minutes to about 15 seconds. Thanks to the 
power of Ruby, I didn't have to edit my code generator and regen.

Was there an easier path? Some flag of which I'm unaware?

Thanks so much,
Jared Nuzzolillo

The (admittedly hackish and cruddy) code I used to modify it:

class IE

def text_field(toss, name)

fld = self.ie.document.forms.namedItem("frmApply").elements.namedItem(name)

class << fld
def set(val)
self.value = val
end
end

fld
end

def checkbox(toss,name)

fld = self.ie.document.forms.namedItem("frmApply").elements.namedItem(name)

class << fld
def set
self.checked = true
end

#haven't tested this one yet
def clear
self.checked = false
end 
end

fld
end

def radio(toss,name)
fld = self.ie.document.forms.namedItem
("frmApply").elements.namedItem(name)["0"]

class << fld
def set
self.checked = true
end

#haven't tested this one yet
def clear
self.checked = false
end 
end

fld
end

def select_list(toss,name)
fld = self.ie.document.forms.namedItem("frmApply").elements.namedItem(name)

class << fld
def select(txt)
self.options.each{|i| i.selected = true if i.text == txt }
end
end

fld
end
end

Watir itself is probably the best example. Usage of classes and methods within
test::unit are as follows:
ie = Watir::IE.new #the "Watir" here is a module, and the "::" scope operator
shows the usage

A Module and a Class are similar. For what you describe, I think of modules
almost like a namespace. There is more on this site:
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/tut_modules.html

The modules in the lib directory should look like this:

module MyModule

class MyClass

    def my_method1
    end

    def my_method2
    end
end

end #of module

You would invoke methods in that module in test::unit like this:

require 'test/unit'
require 'test_lib' #file that contains MyModule
require 'watir'
#test unit code here
#to use the module above:
a = MyModule::MyClass.new
b = a.my_method2

Hope that helps. The Pickaxe link I sent is something I use a lot.

This is really cool, thanks for sharing it.

I would very much like to provide an easier mechanism to allow people to 
change Watir behavior just like you did here.

	I started using Watir to automate a small portion of my projects
tests. It has been wonderfully helpful, and I'd like to thank the Watir
team for making it available.
	
	I do have, however have a problem. When I execute my program, it
takes a REALLY long time to run. It is setting about 400 fields, and it
was painful to watch it move slowly from field to field. I already tried
setting it "fast mode" and "background" mode and it sped up
significantly, but it was still slow. 
	
	Fortunately, I generated the WATIR script from the HTML form
using JScript. As a result of generating it, I used :name to access all
of the fields I had to set. Unfortunately, I had hand-edited my
generated script to put 'realistic' values into all of the fields, so it
would have been a PITA to write new methods to set all of the fields.
The fix I used was to overwrite the WATIR text_box, select_list, radio
and checkbox methods to access the DOM directly instead of 'typing' the
values into the fields. This changed the execution time from about 3.5
minutes to about 15 seconds. Thanks to the power of Ruby, I didn't have
to edit my code generator and regen.

Hue,

I think i actually wrote the original table to_a code. I wrote it for a 
specific table, and Paul checked it in. It was never intended to work in 
the general case.

I don't quite understand why Paul says it couldn't be fixed the way you 
want it to work. I think his concern is that it still wouldn't work in the 
general case. Figuring out how this should work in general is a hard design 
problem.

I do think any of us could write a function that worked the way you wanted. 
But this is really something that you should be able to write yourself. One 
way would be to edit the standard watir.rb. But probably a better idea 
would be to change the Table#to_a method separately. Here's how. In a 
separate file:

   class Table
     def to_a
       # replacement code
     end
   end

Then look at what we have a figure out how you might want to change it.

I hope someone can make use of it. If I was using nearly any other language 
I would have had a much harder time getting things running. 

Thanks again for Watir!

Yes, and I even tried hiding IE with the "-b" flag and with ie.ie.Visible = 
false.

While it did provide a significant speed increase, it was still taking 
approx 3.5 minutes to execute. I really wanted to avoid supporting the "Ruby 
is too slow" myth when I showed the tool to my boss, so I had to speed it up 
considerably; that is what led to the code changes.

Thanks
Jared

Message-ID: <20050812211027.FUHO29979.priv-edmwes25.telusplanet.net@tintin>

Using "Head First Java" as a guide, here is one simplified way to think
about modules, classes and methods:

Here is a module:
module MyModule

end 

Q. What goes in a Module?
A. classes go in modules

module MyModule

class TestClass

end #of class

end  #of module

Q. What goes in a class?
A. methods go in classes

module MyModule

class TestClass

    def method1
       
    end #of method1   

end #of class

end  #of module

Q. What goes in a method?
A. statements go in methods

module MyModule

class TestClass

    def method1
       statement1
       statement2
    end #of method1   

end #of class

end  #of module

Q. How do I access methods in a module?
A. Provide access to the source file: include 'my_module_file'

You might have more than one module in a file (or in memory), so we access
the class in the module we want using a scope operator :: like this:
MyModule::TestClass

And create a new instance of the class like this:
new_class = MyModule::TestClass.new

Execute method1 like this:
new_class.method1

The problem is actually a security issue on the machine that is executing

We fixed the "access is denied" issue by adding the URL that is causing the
problem as a "trusted site".

This is done in Tools/Internet Options/Security/Trusted Sites (then add the

This is very puzzling to me. It doesn't look like Watir can't get to the 
DOM tree. It is failing on

   ie.document.body.all

This returns a COM object, but i has no IEnum Interface.

It seems like maybe you are running a very old version of IE. Watir needs 
5.5 or later. But i think you get that automatically with XP SP 1. A puzzle.

Hi All,
I have the one way work around in this case.
Normally, I still use method to_a read data in table.
So I flatten it to 1D array.

In the expected result, I also put it in 1D array.

By the way, I can compare value of both arrays.
Anyway, in some cases the compare result may be incorrect.

Ex: actual result:  [[1], [2], [3]]
    Expected result [[1,2,3]]

When I flatten & compare them, I get the correct but incorrect result.
:) 


Best regards,
Hue

I have a similar story. I was fortunate enough to be able to use Robot,
SAMIE and WATiR on the same project. A few months down the line and the
scripts that run everyday are...WATiR ! Michael Kelly's article really got
me using Ruby.
 
SAMIE is also very good, and the best about it is that Perl already has very
mature supprt for DBI and it has Win32::GUITest. I still use Perl for all
the database stuff. Ruby's DBI is not there yet. But I would like to use
WATiR and Ruby more and more in the future. Unfortunately Ruby is as cryptic
to me as Perl is to most people. I have looked at PAMIE too, as I am doing a
series of tool reviews for the TestFOCUS magazine.

My 2 cents...for whatever it is worth.

 

I started using Python's PAMIE framework to automate.  However, the support
was sporadic (the guy working on it was very busy and couldn't devote enough
time to support the framework).  Eventually I ran into a roadblock with
popups (ironic given the volume of messages on this subject)--the framework
had not evolved enough to support this activity yet.  I also looked at SAMIE
(way too cryptic), IEUnit (same roadblock as PAMIE) as well as a bout 15
other frameworks all boasting to have what I needed at a price.  Enter Ruby.
WATIR is by far the most complete web testing framework out here--that
doesn't cost an arm and a leg.  And this forum is the most active and well
supported that I have seen.  You can post a question and is just a short
period of time get someone (most of the time the architects of the
framework!) who will steer you in the right direct, give you a work around
to get over any roadblocks, or add it to the framework if it doesn't
currently exist.  That is the reason I switched and tell everyone interest
(and those not) that Ruby is the way to go!  Save your money, get WATIR!

Bret, Jonathan:

 

Thanks for these notes. I personally like Ruby's object oriented approach.

 

The only 'flip' I found about ruby that I find is the relatively scarce

resources / documentation when compared to Python. Almost all searches

point to a different version of the 'pragmatic programmer'. Are there other

online resources that you guys could point me to? For example, when trying

to do something with the Win32 API callbacks, I couldn't find much help.

 

Thanks

Hello,
 
I'm working on a project that uses r.a.d.treeview (a treeview library for ASP.NET) and I'm wondering how I can use Watir to do drag and drop events.
 
Here's some of the javascript code I see in the HTML source:
oncontextmenu="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','context',event)" 
onselectstart="return false;" 
onmousedown="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','mdown',event)" 
                        id=RadTree1Div 
onkeydown="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','keydown',event)" 
ondblclick="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','mdclick',event)" 
onmouseover="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','mover',event)" 
 
Thanks for any help!

Hi All,
Currently, Watir input data into control so slow. Bc it input one by one
character.

But we can do this for increase watir input data into control by change
a little bit core code of watir
I change a little bit code in watir.rd and got the speed increase very
fast. I think the Watir develop team can look at it again, If found it
is useful, Watir team can update the core Watir in next release.

My change code as like that:

def doKeyPress( value )
	...	
# ---- Remove this orginal code -----------
	#for i in 0 .. value.length-1   
	#   sleep @ieController.typingspeed   # typing speed
	#  c = value[i,1]
	#@ieController.log  " adding c.chr " + c  #.chr.to_s
	# @o.value = @o.value.to_s + c   #c.chr
	#fire_key_events
	#end
# ------- My change code -------------------------------- 
	@o.value = value
	fire_key_events
end

Anyway, I just test it with a little bit code

Subject: [Wtr-general] Any way to drag items to other items?
Message-ID: <32a81fc32aa7dd.32aa7dd32a81fc@shaw.ca>

there is some basic support - for dragging text from one text field and dropping it on another. You could probably use that as a basis for writing some more advanced features. I doubt Bret or myself will get enough time to do it in the near future

Hello,
 
I'm working on a project that uses r.a.d.treeview (a treeview library for ASP.NET) and I'm wondering how I can use Watir to do drag and drop events.
 
Here's some of the javascript code I see in the HTML source:
oncontextmenu="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','context',event)" 
onselectstart="return false;" 
onmousedown="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','mdown',event)" 
                        id=RadTree1Div 
onkeydown="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','keydown',event)" 
ondblclick="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','mdclick',event)" 
onmouseover="rtvDispatcher('RadTree1','mover',event)" 
 
Thanks for any help!
-Dominic

if you dont care about javascript events, you can just use 

ie.text_field(:index,1).value='123'  # it might be .value(123) I cant remember

You can also use the -f switch or change the typing speed value

the original code is there to make sure that all the javascript events ( keypress, keyup , keydown etc ) get executed correctly

Of course, that makes perfect sense. Thanks Paul. That's exactly what I 
needed!

Mark, I did not have exactly your problem, but you may want to look at
winClicker.rb and its getWindowHandle() method. After you get a
handle, you can use something like clickWindowsButton_hwnd() from the
same lib to click buttons in it or other methods.
This is just a thought. I'm investigating how I can use winClicker
with some of windows in my app, and I don't have much experience with
it (yet ;-))

Anna.

winclicker contains some very scary, badly written code. Id try to avoid it if possible.

You might be able to attach to an embedded browser by using attach - or possibly a modified form of it and attach using the :url ( assuming you know the url of the embedded browser) Im sure you could also do something by fiding the hWnd of the embedding application, and then finding the child hWnd of the browser, and maybe using a modified form of Watir::IE::attach

Oh, good news (about badly written code) ;-)

Paul, how can I attach an IE if I know the window handle? That would
really help. There seem to be no other way to locate the modal IE
window I'm working with.
This does not work:

hndl = wc.getWindowHandle('MyList -- Web Page Dialog', '')
puts hndl
wtitle = wc.getWindowTitle(hndl)
wc.makeWindowActive(hndl)
ie.attach(:title, wtitle)

This code returns an error that there's no window with this title even
though the handle is not -1.

Thanks,
Anna.

are you trying to access a window open with showModalDialog()  ?

If so, someone recently posted some code they used to get this working using autoit - check the archives from the last 2 weeks. If you cant find it I probably still have it at home

Yes, this is what I'm trying to do. I'll check the archives on
"autoit" and hopefully will have my questions answered...
Thanks for your help!

    I'm using Ruby 1.8.2-15 and Watir v1.4 on Windows XP. I'm
    testing a website that triggers a "Security Alert" window.
    I'd like to dismiss (automatically click on the Yes button)
    this window.

    I've tried the code below, but hang on IE.start, so the
    clickWindowsButton never gets a chance to dismiss the
    window.

    Is there another way to dismiss the Windows security alert
    window?

    require 'watir'
    require 'watir\winClicker.rb'
    include Watir
    w = WinClicker.new
    ie=Watir::IE.start('http://xxxx')
    w.clickWindowsButton("Security Alert" , "&Yes" )
    ie.text_field(:name, "username").set("username")
    ie.text_field(:name, "password").set("password")
    ie.button(:name, "Action").click
    ie.close

Hi Fred,

(I am pasting the posting that I had submitted a few days back)
WET is a great compliment to Watir. WET has the following
features in a nutshell:

1) Object identification using multiple parameters
2) Object repository to store objects
3) Better popup handling
4) Easy manipulation of checkpoints
5) Results presented as HTML
6) Datatables
7) Test exeuction is controlled by a single
test definition file.

We have found this framework very helpful and hope this is
going to be a great add-on and help all the users in the
community.

WET is available at http://www.wet.qantom.org

Hello,
 
Seen as WATIR cannot handle the modal dialogs with select lists I thought I'd try out WET.
 
However I can't get past the login screen.
 
The login screen has a login button with this source
<A class="Button" href="javascript:login( 'password' )">Login</A>

in WATIR, to click this is simple
ie.link(:text, 'Login').click
 
How do I click it in WET?
 
Cheers,
Tim

Yes it's really looks like a puzzle, damm!
I using internet explorer ie version 6.0.28 wich direction may i take to try to
Get futher on watir, is it more simple test than i can try to identify more forward the cause of this exception?

This is very puzzling to me. It doesn't look like Watir can't get to the DOM tree. It is failing on

   ie.document.body.all

This returns a COM object, but i has no IEnum Interface.

It seems like maybe you are running a very old version of IE. Watir needs
5.5 or later. But i think you get that automatically with XP SP 1. A puzzle.

Message-ID: <D44594CCB56C3547A2F75D2B379147F677C02B@EXCHANGE.NETeller.com>


Hi,

When you open a new ie window and your homepage is blank 

require 'watir'
$ie = Watir::IE.new

you can use $ie.url=="" to detect that the blank IE is open

When you close this window ($ie.close), how can I detect that the window
is closed?

you can use

ie.span(:index,xxx).text

it would be better if your developers addeda an id, then you can use
ie.span(:id,'request_id').text

 security alert box
Message-ID: <1641BB0AA7287848817A63C3EE9677D5075F6A28@hqp-ex-mb05.na.msds.rhi.com>

Hi,
 
I am trying to use the following to click on a form submit button, then
to hit ENTER once the security alert box pops up:
 
ie.image(:src, /submit/).click
ie.send_keys('{ENTER}')
 
When I do this, it seems that ie is waiting for the browser to be ready
and the send_keys command doesn't execute.  So, I tried doing this to
force the browser ready:
 
ie.image(:src, /submit/).getOLEObject.click
ie.send_keys('{ENTER}')
 
When I do this, the security alert box doesn't pop up fast enough, so by
the time it does appear, the send_keys command has already executed.
This works for on of my test pages that has a security box alert coming
up instantly, but for the page I am having trouble with, has the
security popup appearing after 2-3 seconds after hitting the submit
button.  Does anybody have any suggestions as to clearing this alert
box?  (I've used Autoit, and it works, but I would like to have my
script run with just watir and ruby installed).
 
I also tried this, but it also makes the browser wait for a very long
time:
 
ie.image(:src, /submit/).getOLEObject.click
ie.wait(2)
ie.send_keys('{ENTER}')
 
Thanks for any help...

Some questions came up during a demo of WATIR. 

Our automation team would like to know whether WATIR can do the following
functions:

 

1.       Launch external applications from a test script such as Excel,
Word, etc.

2.       Include variables, functions, web/window declarations and/or
additional test cases from other test scripts (E.g. - "uses", "script:")

3.       File I/O (E.g. - Logging, test input/output data, expected results,
etc.)

4.       Exception handling (WATIR errors distinguished from system or OS
errors)

5.       Customizable result states (E.g. - warnings)

6.       Command line support (launch, quit, run one, run multiple, output)

7.       Access & scope declarations (private, public, protected, friend,
etc.)

8.       Integrates & interacts directly w/ desktop applications & Operating
System on some level (command line? Process id? Can it tell the OS of the
machine running WATIR is Win2K or XP, etc.)

9.       Change script to trap System Error when table is not accessible

10.   Investigate launching 2 scripts at the same time (use two different
instances of IE)

 

I believe most of the answers are YES, but I am not sure about 4, 8 & 9.
Your answers are appreciated.  Thanks.

4 - yes, if I understand the question correctly
8. Ruby can certainly tell Win 2000 from XP, and has a lot of nice 
methods to interact with the file systems (much better than Java and 
C#). Since Win32API is available to Ruby, you can use that to achieve 
anything else.That's the beauty of having a real programming language in 
your automated tests - as opposed to surrogates offered by most 
commercial capture/playback tools.
9. - yes, if I understand the question correctly. Again, it's Ruby, so 
you have all the error handling that the language provides. So, you can do

begin
ie.table(:id, 'foo')[1, 2]
rescue => e
# whatever it is that you want to do about it
end

4, yes. Watir Exceptions descend from a WatirException class, for this
exact reason
8, in ruby you have access to the win api. You have to write code for
some of it, or see if there is a library already done. You can access
programs using OLE
9 Im not sure what that means - seems like you want to raise an error if
you cant connect to a database or something
 
I think all the others are a yes
 
Hope that helps

10.   Investigate launching 2 scripts at the same time (use two
different instances of IE)

 

I believe most of the answers are YES, but I am not sure about 4, 8 & 9.
Your answers are appreciated.  Thanks.

You could trap the exception that's thrown, but that could get kind of
ugly. Especially as its probably a weird OLE exception.

It seems like we need a closed? Method on ie. It would be trivial to do
it when watir closes a window, but Im not sure I know how we would do it
if the window is closed by javasscript or a user. ( maybe something like
this.)

I don't have the code handy, so Im going off memory

Class IE  # is this the correct class
    def window_exists?
      begin   
        if <ole_object>.hWnd == -1    # I cant remember what the
variable name for the actual browser is
            return false
        end
        return true
      rescue
          return true
      end
    end
end

You could try something like this and let us know how you get on ;-)

Hi,

When you open a new ie window and your homepage is blank 

require 'watir'
$ie = Watir::IE.new

you can use $ie.url=="" to detect that the blank IE is open

When you close this window ($ie.close), how can I detect that the window
is closed?

Ok,

#1 - Understand that WATiR is simply a library for Ruby ... since your 
scripts are all ruby programs you have access to everything Ruby can get 
to ... Ruby under Windows has the Win32Ole library which means it can 
talk with any COM enabled application.

#2 - Again, scripts are Ruby based, you can pull functionality from 
multiple files together as well as database connectivity, command-line 
arguments, environment variables, etc.

#3 - ... same answer, Ruby has File I/O.

#4 - Yes, WATiR has it's own exception mechanisms that wrap application 
exceptions from Internet Explorer.

#5 - ... I guess I need more specifics about what you are looking for.   
Programs have exit values just like a C application.  Ruby also has a 
built in logging class that allows for differing levels of information 
to all be output to the same file... Warnings vs Errors vs Informational 
messages.  Ruby also has built in support in the standard object library 
for xUnit style test case and test suite objects.

#6 - ... I guess I need more specifics on this one too... You can kick 
off ruby scripts or, if you installed from the one-click installer, you 
can simply double click a script to run it.  As far as run-one, run-all, 
etc ... well, that's up to whatever command-line options you program 
into your applications.  But, again, fully-featured programming 
language, you should find everything you are looking for.

#7 - Ruby has access specifiers and an Object inheritance model that 
should be more than sufficient for you, it even implements some things ( 
like mix-ins ) that you probably aren't used to.

#8 - Ruby has access to the running environment which provides 
information about the running version of windows. You can run separate 
programs as separate processes ( child or otherwise ).

#9 - Ruby has exception handling and you can simply wrap the call 
attempting to access a specific table/whatever with that error-handler 
and watch for the error that is raised when that situation occurs.

#10 - Yes, WATiR supports multiple distinct IE processes... Each 
invocation of IE.new creates a new/distinct window.

Let me know if I didn't answer any of your points to your satisfaction.

I got our developer to put an 'id' in. I got this to work in irb, but
cannot get it to work in my script. 

If I use

ie.span(:id, 'submitted').flash

The proper text will flash.

When I use 

ie.span(:id, 'submitted').text

Nothing is displayed.

I'm a little baffled by this. Any ideas?

you can use

ie.span(:index,xxx).text

it would be better if your developers addeda an id, then you can use
ie.span(:id,'request_id').text

Bret, thanks for sharing your thoughts on WatirMaker. I have similar
concerns about the utility of script recorders and caution your readers
to not expect too much from WatirMaker. It has *not* been conceived of
as a record/playback tool for non-programmers. On the contrary, at
Eleven the programmers use Watir to write UI unit tests in a test-driven
fashion. Nearly every test starts with some setup in the database using
the DataMother design pattern (a variant of the ObjectMother pattern
which can be found here:
http://www.thoughtworks.com/us/library/ObjectMother%20Website.pdf), and
concludes with one or more asserts validating specific conditions. It is
the stuff in the middle that we hope WatirMaker will facilitate. 

We imagine the tool fitting nicely into a process that looks something
like this: 

1. Create test skeleton (including data prep). 
2. Capture Watir statements and paste into the test skeleton. 
3. Modify as needed and add asserts. 

In truth, I believe that we're seeking the same tool you've described as
"...a tool that would show you the Watir syntax for identifying a
control or page element you point to." We've simply conceived of the
tool as a recorder.

Do you have check in rights?

Bret, I think this would be a useful addition - is the method name corect? maybe Window_exists?

Michael,

I don't doubt your intentions and wish you best of luck. Keep us informed 
of progress.

And when you are ready for release, please set up a separate mailing list 
for all the clueless newbies who are are now going to be watir scripters!

How about just 'exists?'

Note that the algorithm below will return false if the browser is hidden. 
Is that what you want?

1. finish purging all camelCase names in methods and local and instance 
variables.
2. finish renaming stuff that has the wrong name (like all the references 
to containers called 'ieController')
3. separate logic for locating objects (get_object) so it can be configured 
separately without having to what the WET people did (change overriding 
syntax).
4. rip out winclicker and autoit and use wet/winobjects instead
5. make it so that anything that be a container; refactor different methods 
currently used for this (frames & forms)

and then

6. defer invokation of COM calls until necessary

I've been pushing us this way for a while and believe that it is more 
important than ever. The simplest example of  what this means is that code 
like this will work:

   table = ie.frame(:name, 'foo').table(:index, 4)
   # do stuff
   table[3][4].button(:index, 1).click

This is convenient and often what casual users expect. Currently watir 
supports this to one level only.

Once we have this, this gives us a platform that we can do several other 
things:
a. invoke method in a separate process, so we never run into thread 
blocking problems again.
b. invoke selenium or xcom/mozilla or another browser-driving technology 
instead of IE/COM
c. attach a logger so we get cheap, decent, accurate logging

exits? sounds fine. WHat do you mean by hidden, minimised? or, behind another window or something else Im not thinking of?

We need a good solution for modal dialog boxes, alerts, popups, etc. This is
the feature I get asked about most frequently (even just a couple of hours
ago).

some other things that we should consider:

table#to_a  currently returns the cells as text. I think ( I think it was Bret that suggested it) this should return an array of TableCell objects
which menas we need Table#to_text_array ( or similar name). This may well break peoples existing code, so Im in 2 minds about it. I think it needs to be done, but I dont want to piss people off by having to make many changes

a method to get the html className of any element - or did this already get in?
 in many apps, on an error condition, a textfield may have a different color background to highlight  a mandatory field or erroronous entry, we could then confirm by doing
if ie.text_field(:index,1).class_name == 'ErrorClass'
    # some message confirm we got the right thing
end

The exception objects should have more info, so I can do 

begin 
   ie.text_field(:index,1).set('foo')
rescue  ObjectDisabledException => e
   puts "Object is readoly!!"
   puts e.how  # displays index - maybe a better name is needed
   puts e.what # displays 1  - maybe a better name is needed
   puts e.url  # displays the url of the error
   puts e.page_title # 
   puts e. anything else? 
end

Michael,

I don't doubt your intentions and wish you best of luck. Keep us
informed 
of progress.

And when you are ready for release, please set up a separate mailing
list 
for all the clueless newbies who are are now going to be watir

Ive just realised that you mean when the browser is running with
visible=false ( or -b from the command line when starting the script)
Peter - can you try with this set up and report if there is a way to do
this...

I wanna hear from the WET guys on this. Satti? Raghu?

There are two parts of the problem.
1. Just click the buttons and working the controls. WET has this licked.
2. Avoiding the thread-locking. WET uses a method similar to our 
IE#remote_eval. But i have ideas on how to make this better.

Is it possible to pull the text contents out of JavaScript popups as well?
That would be a big bonus, particularly on pages that might use a lot of
them for different reasons and you want to be sure the right one popped up,
or to validate the contents of them. I found SilkTest, one JavaScript popup
wasn't distinguishable from another.

Getting them handled well though would be a great start.

There is some stuff in winclicker to do that - if you're brave enough to
use it

So, when are the two projects simply going to merge? I mean, it sounds

Are you suggesting that every method call (or atleast the clicks, 
sets,etc.) will be called in a separate process?
If yes, I am concerned that this may not be the intended behavior 
always. Most of the times the desired intention
may be to wait for current line of invocation before moving on to the 
next line. I think that making this choice between
invoking a method call in a separate process should be left to the 
tester. Say, the click method could take an
optional parameter:

Click(inprocess=true)
{
}

The second point that we need to be careful about when invoking methods 
out of process is the 'object identification'. We
need to make sure that the object identified when called in a method 
'outofprocess', is exactly the same as the object on
which the method was invoked. This could be slightly tricky (and usually 
source for errors). Consider this - If you have
a web application whose browser title is 'FooBar' and this browser opens 
more browser windows with the same title.
Making an assumption that the outofprocess method call should look for a 
browser with the title of 'FooBar' is clearly
a source for errors.

My two cents.

The way to do it is to create a file in watir/old_table.rb that reverts to 
prior behavior.

If anyone needs the old way, they can just add a require and they get it. 
I'll probably do that with the those old camelCase commands for 1.5. (I'll 
simply stop requiring watir/camel_case.rb fror watir.rb).

You can also release the new code in a separate file and get comments on it 
first, before making it part of the watir package. I've done this with the 
new IE#remote_eval method. (Which by the way, i'm prolly going to rename to 
forked_eval for now, while we still need it.)

>a method to get the html className of any element - or did this already 
>get in?

class_name, ahem. Yes i did that. You wrote the code, but then attached it 
to a method called 'style'.

The next step is actually to allow ie.text_field(:class, 'ErrorClass') to 
work. This would be awesome. Actually my plan is to let any attribute be 
able to be used here. It's just a matter of writing less code -- seriously.

Maybe. I think the how and why will eventually evolve into a more complex 
structure that will allow multiple hows and whys -- like WET.

What we need is Element#inspect to describe how the object was invoked. I 
think. This is how WET redefines the to_s method. I think we need two 
methods -- one that says how the object was specified (and that probably 
also reports on container/ancestor objects) and the other that lists 
attributes in detail.

Maybe we give these two different names, neither of which is to_s or 
inspect and then these names can have a default binding to these methods, 
but this can easily be changed by frameworks (like WET) that want to do 
things different.

I am also thinking that what we really need is a hook for an exception 
handler, so people can customize it get the behavior they want.

IE.ie.visible == false is what i meant, but minimized is also a good point. 
Does a minimized browser have an hWnd?

This is complex enough that i'd just rather encourage people to use 
IE.ie.hWnd != -1 for now.

BTW, i recently checked in IE#minimize, but i didn't think that maybe it 
should be IE#minimise. Any one know the Ruby convention on this kind of 
thing. We've been using Pickaxe as our style guide, which is written by a 
Brit living in Texas, so i have no idea what his preference is offhand.

We can get the text from the popup using autoit, so i'm pretty sure WET can 
do that too.

I thought that was what you all did? No? Oh... now i see.

Well, yes, that was my idea.

If it is the tester's choice, i would rather they do

    out_of_process { ie.button('foo').click }

than

    ie.button('foo').click(true)

or even

    ie.button('foo').click(:out_of_process)

This is both easier to do in Ruby, and to me, in the end, easier to 
understand by humans (even if it is harder to understand by humans trained 
in procedural programming).

Currently, IE#remote_eval uses title for identification and could easily 
fall for the scenario you describe. But i think i want to change this so 
that it uses the hwnd instead -- that should be unique.

But i am rethinking, now that i see i misunderstood your code.

Is there any thought of adding a 
8. WATIR for firefox?
 
Our app is going to have firefox support soonish, so it would be cool to be able to use the same (or similar) WATIR tests scripts against firefox.

To be more specific, Both xcom/mozilla and selenium are technologies that 
will drive firefox.

Subject: [Wtr-general] A general question about the role of scripted tests
	within the responsibilities of QA.
Message-ID: <640C9D8653C87C44AB5F00F91A91FE210D4B7F@edison.elevenwireless.com>

My developer chums and I use Watir as part of our test-driven
development.  As such, we're giddy to be able to finally write unit
tests for the UI.  But the presence of these developer written UI test
scripts raises questions about what impact, if any, they will have on
what our QA engineer will focus on.  It's tempting to suggest that there
is a whole set of functionality that they simply don't have to test
manually anymore.  But clearly this is just wrong, wrong, wrong.  The
developers will only write tests for the things they think of, and we
all know that developers tend to be optimistic about their code.  In
addition, the unit tests themselves can have flaws that cause a test to
pass when the code is not, in fact, functioning properly.
 
So, it seems that we still need the QA engineer to do a full manual QA
pass on the software.  At what point do these scripts allieviate some of
the QA engineer's manual testing burden?
 
Thanks for your thoughts,

With little developer testing, testers often have to run lots of simple 
tests to uncover simple bugs.

Getting the developers more involved in testing should allow the testers to 
move to more complex tests more quickly.

>At what point do these scripts allieviate some of the QA engineer's manual
testing burden?
Until machines are intelligent, they can't really do testing at all. Testing
to me is assessing risks, asking questions about software, using a guide to
show me whether something is wrong, using techniques and tools to help ask
questions of the software, and analyze results. Automated testing tools
can't do any of that, but as a tester I can use them to help increase my
efficiency. What task is a computer better at, or faster at, and how can I
use the tool to make my testing work more efficient? So to me the manual
testing is essential to complement the automated efforts. Automated tests
are great for quick passes of certain kinds of tasks, and are nice for
change detection. 
 
They can't replace a human, but people can use them for more efficiency.
Instead of doing a smoke test suite manually that might take hours or days,
an automated smoke "change detection" suite can give me a rough
approximation of changes in minutes or hours. Then as a tester I can focus
on areas of risk, and spot check trouble spots. Efficiency is key to me, not
trying to replace manual testing work. The former is achievable, the latter
isn't going to happen. Over reliance on regression tests to do testing for
us means that obvious problems a tester would spot immediately go out the
door. The human eye can pattern match better than a computer can, and the
mind behind the tools can investigate, use inference and track down tricky
problems. many times when we are running a manual test, we discover a
problem that is not related to the test. Many of the high impact bugs I've
come across were something we stumbled upon when testing other things,
investigated and fixed. A computer isn't curious, aware and can't
investigate suspicious behavior like a tester can. I find those qualities
valuable.

Michael
In our project, developers use watir for validating a build --
basically regression testing to demonstrate that the build is viable
and worthy of deploying in the test environment. Testers use a
disfferent tool. Their job is made simpler because they don't wate
time on a build that has one of those dumb breakages that stops
testing because a page gives Error 500 or some essential feature is
broken and prevents accessing a whole area of functionality. It
automates what developers needed to do manually before. It makes life
better for everyone; developers dislike regression testing; testers
hate broken builds.

Hi Michael

 

I am the sole QA grunt for our company, and there are several ways that
Watir has helped alleviate my testing burden:

1 - I use Watir scripts to update our baseline data to try and mimic the
client's use of our application so our testing data is up to date.

2 - I run a scripted timed test which performs the same tasks each time and
logs the amount of time it takes for those tasks to finish. This allows me
to identify if a change in the code is making a certain process run faster
or slower then it did in a previous version.

3 - I am still developing some simple regression test scripts. These will be
used on areas of the site that virtually never change and are a pain to run
through manually.

 

Of course there is nothing that can replace the 'real user' testing - at
least that's what I'm basing my career on! There are many functions in our
application that are way too cumbersome to automate as there are too many
combinations and permutations of the results. These functions will always be
manually tested, but by automating some of the more simpler tasks, it allows
me more time to focus on the more difficult ones. 

 

Hope that helps

I guess I've assumed that code thoroughly tested by developers would
reduce the time QA spends documenting issues, but that the QA engineer
would still have an obligation to manually exercise all the simple test
cases.  Is this not true?

Well tested and testable code reduces the length of feedback cycles. The
days of bad builds, things that won't install, and basically untestable
software that leaves testers twiddling their thumbs is greatly reduced.
Instead of logging a lot of the easy, obvious bugs, testers can focus on
areas of risk, and some of the trickier bugs. 

At some point, hopefully this becomes common place, and the testers can
start spending time designing the really (as Chris McMahon would say) hairy
test cases. Instead of doing basic tests, they can stretch out and really
get their minds and skills behind more testing. Then you get a nice diverse,
thorough test instead of a rush near the end once the code stabilizes.

I assumed it was when i was publicly demo'ing Watir.

Here are some excerpts from my actual, public IRB session...

irb(main):014:0> ie.table(:id, 'job_and_day').show_all_objects
NoMethodError: undefined method `show_all_objects' for #<Watir::Table:0x2d04ec0>

In fact, shouldn't most objects be able to be used as containers?

Subject: [Wtr-general] need help understanding "focus" error
Message-ID: <20050818162322.5ef5ebf8@localhost.localdomain>

How can I figure out (debug) what this complaint is about:

WIN32OLERuntimeError: focus
    OLE error code:8000FFFF in htmlfile
      Unexpected call to method or property access.
    HRESULT error code:0x80020009
      Exception occurred.
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3399:in `method_missing'
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3399:in `set'

Where can I find what the error codes mean?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have defined an instance variable:

	@s_fld = $ie.test_field(:name, xxx)
	zzz = "some text"

and then called

	@s_fld.set(zzz)

The error is generated from this "set" statement.  To get to this point
in the watir code, it's already verified that @s_fld exists, is enabled
and is not read only - it seems to be unable set the focus


Help please  :-)

Thanks,

Warren

try this instead and tell us what happens:

   $ie.text_field(:name, xxx).set(zzz)

That works - but why doesn't the other work?

I've temporarily bypassed this particular problem by using the value=
method - just so I can get on with writing the test

Subject: [Wtr-general] installer issues
Message-ID: <20050818233917.HWLZ19601.priv-edtnes46.telusplanet.net@tintin>

I am getting some emails reporting a couple of issues. The first is from
folks trying to install Watir with Ruby 182-15. They get an error message
about the installer not being able to find Fox. Looks like Fox is now
installed as a Gem, so one must also require rubygems in the installer. We
should figure out a way to clean this up; I'm wondering how many new users
are running into this, not telling us and moving on in frustration.
 
Here are two issues that were last emailed to me:
I installed the 182-15 one-click Ruby build to start. When I tried to
install watir using install.rb, the install failed because the Fox gui
libraries couldn't be found. This seems likely to be a problem with the ruby
installation not working correctly. The installer mentioned something about
running a "command line" version of the installer, but it wasn't obvious
where that might be and your documentation didn't mention anything about it
either. So, I figured that 182-15 was shot just like 182-13 is. :)

- After downloading and installing 182-14, I was able to get the watir
installer to start up and run. However, during the installation, I got a
dialog saying that a LoadLibrary("c:\Programs") failed (or something to that
effect). This is because I installed Ruby in "C:\Program Files\Ruby" and
watir in "C:\Program Files\Ruby\watir" initially (since I don't like to
clutter up C:\ and D:\). I'm guessing that the load library call can't
handle the space in the directory name. This could be a watir install
problem (improper string quoting/escaping) or a ruby load library problem I
guess.

These have been popping up on the email list as well lately. Any thoughts or
ideas on fixes?

Thanks;

-Jonathan

Subject: [Wtr-general] Can anybody tell what the mean of
	'ie.document.frames.length' is and how it changes
Message-ID: <20050819021004.68232.qmail@web33308.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Below is my code
 
require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'methods/login'
$au3 = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")
  $au3.Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
admin_login("admin","123456")
$ie.link(:text,"License generation").click
sleep(1)
puts "ie.document.frames.length is " 
puts $ie.document.frames.length                            ####### the system will print 0
table = $ie.table(:index, 6)
tableCel = table.body(:index, 1)[3][1].focus()
$au3.Send("{TAB 2}{ENTER}")
sleep(10)
puts "ie.document.frames.length is "
puts $ie.document.frames.length                            ######## the system will print nil
table1 = $ie.table(:index, 6)
tableCel1 = table1.body(:index, 1)[12][1].focus()
$au3.Send("{TAB 2}{ENTER}")
sleep(1)
puts "ie.document.frames.length is "
puts $ie.document.frames.length                          ####### the system will print 1
a = $ie.contains_text("Please at least enter information into one of the domain and IP address fields")
b = $ie.contains_text("This information is required")
puts a
if a && b
    puts "the information of 'Domain', 'IpAddress' and 'Quantity of CAL' fields are required"
else
    puts "some errors appeared..."
end
$ie.text_field(:name,"domain").set("a.com")
$ie.text_field(:name,"ipAddress").set("1.1.1.1")
$ie.text_field(:name,"calQuantity").set("aaa")
table1 = $ie.table(:index, 6)
tableCel1 = table1.body(:index, 1)[12][1].focus()
$au3.Send("{TAB 2}{ENTER}")
sleep(1)
c = $ie.contains_text("This information should be numeric")
if c
   puts "'Quantity of CAL' should be numeric"
   puts "test of form_validation is successful"
else
   puts "some errors appeared..."
end   
puts "ie.document.frames.length is "
puts $ie.document.frames.length                            ####### the system will print 1
 
 
As you see above in the four parts of this code I print the value of 'ie.document.frames.length'
and the value was changed I want to know what the 'ie.document,frames,length' means and why the value turned to 'nil' in the second part 
Thank you very much
                                                                                                     jim

To remind, I once submitted a gemspec for Watir. It was before there 
were any native libraries in the distibution though. Anyway, Bret, if 
you need help with a gem, just whistle :)

The problem is quite easy to fix, simply add require 'rubygems' right 
before the require 'fox' line.... Everything works from there.

I just installed Ruby 182-15 and then Watir 1.4 and did not have any 
problems. All the unit tests (but the three frame tests -- a known issue) 
ran without problem. I did not need to add require 'rubygems'. I'm pretty 
sure that Fox was a gem in 182-14 as well.

The second problem cited below, regarding LoadLibrary not working when 
there are spaces, would not be a Watir problem. But a Ruby problem. If 
someone wants to track this down, they should report it to the Ruby 
Installer team. If we confirm this doesn't work, i suppose we could update 
our install docs.

For a while now, installing Ruby sets environment variable RUBYOPT to 
rubygems. If someone did not have administrator privileges then they would 
not get this setting and i could imagine that they would run into problems 
like those detailed below.

* You must install as administrator on Windows NT,
   2000, and XP in order for path and environment
   variable settings to take effect.

So far, i haven't taken the time to understand how Ruby and Watir work in a 
non-administrator environment and haven't taken the time to support it. I 
see that this is not documented in the readme, so i can update that. If 
someone wants to investigate running watir and ruby in a non-admin 
environment and give a detailed report as to whether it can be made to 
work, that would be appreciated. Do we want to support this kind of 
environment? Wouldn't this mean that ruby would not be in your path? Sounds 
like a headache to me.

Several people have suggested that we replace our current Watir installer 
with a nullsoft installer (in addition to creating a Gem). I think that's 
the general direction i'd like to move, rather than try to bulletproof our 
current installer (which is admitedly shaky).

If there are more reports of problems, i would like to see them. Actual 
error messages and details as to exactly when they occur would be extremely 
helpful.

Bret

P.S. Since i teach classes on effective bug reporting, i thought i might 
cite the second report below as a particular good example of a common 
mistake than many people make in their bug reports. It is vague on 
specifics around the actual error message ("or something to that effect") 
and long on guesses as to what the source of the problem might be.

Bret,

If you have any, I would really appreciate any materials you could send 
my way to help me teach a class on WATiR ... I'm sure I can some up with 
some, but if you have some already, it would save me time.

I'm going to give a learning session on it, and I expect attendance to 
be between 100 & 200 people ( could be more )...

So, as you can see, it gives me a great chance to evangelize & help get 
more folks in the ruby way ...

Thanks in advance for your time.

j.

BTW ... regarding the require 'rubygems' line ... it doesn't hurt 
anything to put it there ... and some people don't have the possibility 
of running as Administrator. Simply adding that line fixes the 
problem... I wish you'd reconsider it.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Deferred element binding
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050819013217.028629d0@127.0.0.1>

For a long time i have talked about how important it is for Watir to make 
code like these examples work:

         @ie_new = Watir::IE.new
         text_field = @ie_new.text_field(:name, 'text1')
         @ie_new.goto($htmlRoot + "textfields1.html")
         assert_equal('Hello World', text_field.value)

         $ie.goto($htmlRoot + "textfields1.html")
         text_field = $ie.text_field(:name, 'text1')
         $ie.refresh
         assert_equal('Hello World', text_field.value)

Currently, these both have errors, in the first place, you get an ugly OLE 
error, in the second, the reference is stale and text_field.value returns 
an empty string. This is something that often surprises and confuses new users.

I haven't really know what to call the ability to make these examples work. 
For a while i called it mapping, because it allows you to create predefined 
window maps, if you want to, but that got Jonathan all prickly because of 
years he'd spent suffering from having to update SilkTest window maps.

You could also call it lazy instantiation. Not quite accurate, but it gives 
the right impression. Or late binding.

At the moment i think i want to call it deferred element binding, because 
the Watir object wouldn't actually get mapped to an element in a page until 
as late as possible. This would really loosen the binding between an 
individual Watir object and the page elements it can refer to -- and now a 
single Water object can in fact be used to refer to the same element on 
different pages or simply successive page loads (which previously all 
required new Watir objects). And it would also loosen the binding between 
Watir and COM, making it easier to support bindings to other browser 
driving technologies, including Selenium and XP/COM. In other words: 
Firefox support.

Actually, i lied. The examples above do in fact work with the latest 
version of Watir, found in HEAD. I just wrote the needed code tonight. 
Right now it only works with text boxes. And only in the simple case where 
it is in an IE container. But i've refactored enough of the code that the 
path ahead to making deferred element binding work with all elements and 
all containers is simply a matter of continuing the same kinds of 
refactorings that i've been making over the past few months anyhow. By 
removing duplication and reducing the size of the Watir code base, i am 
sure that we can get this feature working across the board.

Particular thanks go to Elisabeth Hendrickson who prodded me to prove to 
her that this would be hard. In the process i realized it wouldn't be quite 
so hard after all.

Bret

Message-ID: <000601c5a496$a2d42930$9449590a@mmvalidation>

I need to set to Focus to a newly opened Window (Opened within the
script).
How can I set the Focus to the new Window?

The situation is:

Within a script I press the "login" link -> a new Window open -> all
further
action will take place within this window but I cant set the Focus to
this
window. Instead I get a Object not found error because the Focus still
stays
on the old window (I tested it by pressing a link in the original window
when the new windows is already open).

Can anybody help me?

on the old window (I tested it by pressing a link in the original window
when the new windows is already open).

Can anybody help me?

Thanks for the link ... I feel a bit dumb for not recogniting that 
package to be exactly that... So, the 101 stuff is based on WATiR 1.3.1 
... Is an update to 1.4 due ? or would that be a good thing to 
contribute back?

Ok, I looked at that stuff ... and unfortunately ... It looks like this 
tutorial is meant as a day-long kinda class ... I only have 1-2 hours ...

So, I'm going to include documentation on getting Ruby & WATiR installed 
under Windows ...  And I'm going to show them irb and doing live testing 
with it. as well as using the Test::Unit framework.

I'll do some simple tests of some of the web-based interfaces around the 
company.

Thanks for the reference though.

Subject: [Wtr-general] finding text in a cell that contains a specified
	image?
Message-ID: <20050819115743.183cd83b@localhost.localdomain>

Hello again,

Could some please point me to a way of finding text in a cell that
contains a specified image?  There are no ids available for the table,
row or cell :-( - and there are several tables on the page.  There is
only one cell (at a time) that contains this particular image - the
text in the cell is displaying status that I'm trying to capture.  This
status msg can occur in one of four different tables - depending on
which form on the page is submitted - the same image is used in all
cases.

I think I want to walk through the DOM looking for a td element that has
"img src=xxx" - I imagine there's a simpler watir way  :-)

Thanks,

Warren

I'm doing something similar.  But I'm not dealing with images, rather
links and texts, so I'd imagine the code would be similar to the one
I"m using and would work:


ie.tables.each do|t|  # since you don't have ID's, look at every table
    for i in 1..t.row_count   # for every row in this table
       
        # for every column in this row, look at its contents
        t[i].each{|c| if c.image(:src, xxx).exists?  # if true, this
is your cell
                     return c.text.strip
        }
    end
end

I know it's a user preference game, but it's much more "the ruby way"
to stay away from "for ... in ... " ... also, your range starts @ 1
... what about row 0 ? Oh, and exists? is deprecated (1.4), you should
get used to exist?

how about, 

t.row_count.times do |i|
  theCell = t[i].find { |c| c.image( :src, xxx ).exist? }
  return theCell.text.strip if theCell
end

anyways, comments are welcome.

well the loop starts at 1 because there is no row 0 for a table :)

I think it works with 1.4 also, already. If not, fixes or reports would be 
appreciated.

well, that's a good reason for not trying row 0 then ;)

actually I tested out tables using t.row_count.times do|i|.  Theproblem with using this method on tables is that it attempts to do row0 (or so I think).  I used IRB to go to google.ca and did a
ie.tables.each do |t|  m = tend
which set m to be the last table on the page.  (it has 2 rows)Then I did a comparison between  .times do and for i in.... methods. Here are the results:

So I'm assuming Watir will always start at index 0 when using .times do|x|is that right?  Would it be possible to make watir Know what iscalling .times so that it can start at a different index - in thiscase, tables?  I actually do use .times do|x| in some cases but Inever tried with tables until now because I assumed it would start atindex 0.

.times is part of Fixnum from Ruby, not a specific piece of WATiR.
It's functioning properly, your range solution vs my times solution isbetter in this circumstance.

Bret,

My bad ... it's part of Ruby not you ... File.exist? and File.exists?

I knew I'd seen it recently ... just wasn't clear on WHERE.

Check the Std Lib docs ... under File#exist? and File#exists?
... exists? is marked obsolete.

There are also some slide decks in there you may want to use.

Ruby always starts at index 0.

We made a big mistake in designing Watir and used one-based indexing. The 
problems you are running into are consequences of our design error.

For example,

   ie.table(:name, 'foo')[2][3].text

is the same as

   ie.table(:name, 'foo').to_a[1][2]

This is because the first is 'watir' and the second is 'ruby', but we 
realize that everyday users will never be likely to figure this out.

We've discussed changing Watir to use zero-based indexing, but are 
concerned about compatability. Paul discussed this in a recent email. 
Comments? Anyone opposed to a switch?

I prefer 0-based counting, but I don't have a bunch of tests I'm relying on
that use indexes like others might. 

For me, I find it hard to explain 0-based counting in data structures like
arrays to beginners, and then have to change gears and tell them that when
they use an index, that it is 1-based. There are pros and cons to both, but
I think when programming in terms of 0-based. Actually, programming has
completely ruined my mental model for 1-based counting in general. :)

This is probably something beginners have less of a problem with at first
than people with programming backgrounds, but the inconsistency is what I
think feels wrong.

Should i read this as +1 for changing to 0-based indexing in watir? For 
both (:index, n) as well as table indexing?

Consistent 0-based counting is my preference.

I can't decide if it's a +1 or -1 yet..But here's what I have to say

I tend to like 0-based, since it's something that's taught to you as a
programmer.  So when I first worked with tables and thought
table[0][0] would give me the first cell (which errored out..it kinda
threw me off a bit).  On one hand it makes sense (table wise) to start
indexing at row 1 and column 1, on the other hand it's like a 2D array
which should have the same indexing as any other array, starting at 0.

I guess having it 0-based will prevent any other incompatibilities
such as the .times do|x| as above.  Having said that, my
indecisiveness is now leaning more towards +1...although it might mean
some script changes to reflect my table *for loops* starting at index
1 :)

Bret,

Thank you for the link to Paul's site ... He's got some good stuff in
his watir-5 pdf copy of his presentation...

So, I'll use that as a basis, but I'm still going to do the actual
demo against one of the in-house web apps ... that way people get more
buy-in ...

Thanks so much ... 

Also, I do have a question about the docs for WATiR ... I haven't
found a good place that lists all of the "how" criteria for the
different objects...

If there's anything good for this somewhere, please let me know ...
Paul's pdf had a good start on this ...

I'm strongly FOR consistency... don't surprise people like this did me... 

That's bad when you are trying to get experienced programmers to use this.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Need advice on assert, module/class setup, and Watir
Message-ID: <20050819213929.75696EBD64@mail4.firstlink.com>

Gurus,

 

I'm testing a fairly complicated web application. We have been using Canoo
WebTest for GUI testing, but we decided to try out Watir and we've been very
pleased with it so far.

 

Because of the complexity, I wanted to have a layer (a library or API -type
level) containing Watir calls and then have the test scripts themselves
require the library classes. (Note that I am not wedded to classes if they
are inappropriate; modules would be just fine.) I had hoped to insulate most
of the Watir calls in the library, partly to localize changes if the
application under test changes, partly to make writing the actual scripts
easier for others, and partly to make the logic of the actual test case more
apparent.

 

Anyway, my primary problem is this: I thought it would be convenient to put
assert() calls in the library class (Login.rb, below), but when I do so and
run the test script (test_login.rb, below), those assertions are not counted
up when the test script runs, although if I introduce a  failure, the
failure count does include the error. That is, I see this:

 

1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors [ when the test script passes]

1 tests, 0 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors [ when the test script fails ]

 

when I was expecting this:

 

1 tests, 1 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors [ when the test script passes]

1 tests, 1 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors [ when the test script fails ]

 

Directly inheriting Test::Unit::TestCase in my library didn't seem to work,
either, as then I get messages like "No tests were specified."

 

Secondarily, if anyone has suggestions on how to better set up a similar
library/script hierarchy, I would love to hear them. I'm new to Ruby and
Watir, so suggestions about coding style, naming, etc. are welcomed as well.

 

Code follows (note that I edited the code for brevity and that it's possible
that it won't actually run, but I thought it was sufficient for
illustration):

 

##################################################################

# test_login.rb

# The actual test script (edited for brevity)

##################################################################

$:.push("../../../lib")

 

require 'Login/Login'

require 'watir'

require 'test/unit'

 

class SimpleLogin < Test::Unit::TestCase

  include Watir

 

  @username = 'username'

  @password = 'password'

  @url = 'http://www.fake_url.com/login_page.html'

 

  def test_login

    ie = IE.new

    l = Login.new()

    l.login(ie, @url, @username, @password)

  end

 

end

 

##################################################################

# Login.rb

# The Login class (edited for brevity)

##################################################################

class Login

 

  require 'test/unit'

  require 'test/unit/assertions'

  require 'watir'

  include Watir

  include Test::Unit::Assertions

 

  def login(ie, url, username, password)

    ie.goto(url)

    ie.link(:text, "site login").click

    ie.text_field(:name, "username").set(username)

    ie.text_field(:name, "password").set(password)

    ie.button(:name, 'submitBtn').click

    assert(ie.contains_text("Welcome #{username}"))

  end

 

end

 

############################################################################
##########################

# End of code

############################################################################
##########################

 

Thank you!

 

Joe

I completely agree.

Also, I do have a question about the docs for WATiR ... I haven't

The Watir API Doc, AKA the RDOC, is the prolly the best place for this.

Eventually, i'd liek to allow any property of an element (e.g. title, 
class_name, text...) be able to be used to specify it.

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD344710B78C60@iris.win.barra.com>

The code below, for example, is a typical thing that I have to do in our
application.

1)       Click on an icon to launch the "Select Portfolio" window

2)       The problem is that it may take the "Select Portfolio" window a
little while to load, 

            so I have to add a Sleep parameter otherwise, the "attach"
statement will fail because it can't find the title

3)       Is there a way to do this without using the Sleep statements?

4)       Also once I am done with this Select Portfolio, I close it, and
need to reconnect back to the main window of the application to continue
with the script and there again I have to put a Sleep statement.

5)       Any help/suggestion you have to handle this is appreciated

 

            ie.frame("main").frame(:name, "context_bar").image(:src,
/icon_open.gif/).click

            sleep 3

      ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "Select Portfolio")

 

            #Reconnect back to main frame

            sleep 3

            ie = Watir::IE.attach(:url, "https://test.com/araneae/app")

Is there a way to insert a command inside the ruby script to stop it's
execution so you can debug or set a breakpoint on a certain line of code.

Kind of like the way Segue's SilkTest allows you to run in debug mode with
all the variables and context available?

It would be great if the script can execute up to a certain line and then
launches irb for debugging.

I had a nedd to write something like this a while back. I was intending
to do a generic thing, maybe like

ie.table(:index,2).find_cell_that_contains(:image , {:src =>
/mypic.gif/} )

In the end I did something different. But I think this would be a useful
addition.

I know it's a user preference game, but it's much more "the ruby way" to
stay away from "for ... in ... " ... also, your range starts @ 1 ...
what about row 0 ? Oh, and exists? is deprecated (1.4), you should get
used to exist?

how about, 

t.row_count.times do |i|
  theCell = t[i].find { |c| c.image( :src, xxx ).exist? }
  return theCell.text.strip if theCell
end

anyways, comments are welcome.

I orinally thought we could add a switch to watir so people could decide
how they wanted to use this, and so we could get 0 based stuff in with
out breaking existing code. This to me seems like too much work now. I
suggest we go with 0 based. Even though Im usually against major changes
like this for fear of wrecking existing tests, I think this is an
important step for watir, and should be done soon.

+1 for me

Consistent 0-based counting is my preference.

Message-ID: <640C9D8653C87C44AB5F00F91A91FE210D4B86@edison.elevenwireless.com>

Quoted from Alex Verhovsky:

there is this RubyForge project called 'breakpoint', 
http://ruby-breakpoint.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?HomePage, which opens 
an IRB session inside a running Ruby program. With it, you can do 
something like
test/watir/long_convoluted_test_script.rb
require 'watir'
include Watir
config = load_configuration
database = connect_to_database
ie = IE.start('http:/foo.bar.com/login')
ie.text_field(:id, 'username').set_value('me')
...
...
...
# somewhere in the middle
require 'breakpoint'
breakpoint
...
and this will execute the script until breakpoint and then open an IRB 
session in which the actual values of ie, configuration, database are 
available and even can be modified. As well as any other variable 
visible from the breakpoint location. Exiting the IRB continues the 
program.
This is often the easiest way to get to the state that you want to play 
with. Besides, you can do conditional breakpoints
breakpoint if <some arbitrarily complex condition>
Bottom line: don't leave home without it.
Alex

I suggest that you put your library methods in a Module. Thus:

# library.rb
module MyLibrary
   def my_library_method(arg)
         # code...
   end
end

# tests.rb
require 'test/unit'
require 'library.rb'

class TC1 << Test::Unit::TestCase
   include MyLibrary
   def test_method
     my_library_method arg
     # more code
   end
end

How about starting up autoit in another thread, then have that process
infinite loop until it finds the window?

I have been told that there is a ruby library called 'breakpoint' that 
provides this functionality.

Hi 

I finally started working on Watir after lurking in the shadows for
sometime. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute increasingly more as I
understand the architecture and vision.

Anyway - to start - I checked in a shiny new installer

Hope you like it

All the best

Summary: Standard Tag Attributes ... should all be search criteria...

Initial Comment:
I went digging through HTML docs and compiled a list of what seems to be standard attributes that are available on most if not all HTML elements...

[Core Attributes]
id
class
title
style

[Language Attributes]
dir
lang

[Keyboard Attributes]
tabindex
accesskey

I know we have a few of these, but it would definately be nice to have them all. And, as you'd expect, not all of these are supported on all tags, but, I don't think it would hurt to try to use them.

More advice from Alex:

alexey verkhovsky: typing
alexey verkhovsky: require 'breakpoint'; breakpoint
alexey verkhovsky: is too long
alexey verkhovsky: therefore, I usually have something like
alexey verkhovsky: def bp require 'breakpoint'; breakpoint; end
alexey verkhovsky: somewhere in the ap
alexey verkhovsky: this way, inserting a breakpoint is just bp
alexey verkhovsky: and it doesnt try to load brerakpoint.rb when it doesnt 
need to
alexey verkhovsky: (it's quite long to load)

BTW, i also found out that
   require 'breakpoint'
won't work in IRB.

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050821011711.0303fa80@127.0.0.1>

Watir 1.4.1 is a minor update to 1.4.0 that includes a brand new installer. 
We think people will find this much easier to use. Thanks to Kingsley for 
providing it. It is a nullsoft-based installer.

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104&release_id=2725

Please let us know if there are problems. We also fixed the tests that were 
failing in 1.4.0.

We plan to have a gem for 1.4.1 out very shortly.

Bret

This is a bug. Please go ahead and log it on our bug tracker.

Attach should wait a reasonable amount of time for a new window to appear. 
It should attach to the window when it appears, or else fail after a 
reasonable amount of time has passed.

(BTW, IE#wait should also fail after a reasonable amount of time has 
passed. Right now it waits forever.)

What is reasonable? The default should probably be about 5 seconds. It 
should be set as a configurable option.

To date, we have attached these kinds of configurable options to a 
particular IE object. That approach won't work here, because the IE object 
doesn't exist until IE#attach has returned.

(I've been wanting to set up configuration options as a separate object for 
a while. This situation should be taken into account.)

The way to do it is to create a file in watir/old_table.rb that reverts
to 
prior behavior.

If anyone needs the old way, they can just add a require and they get
it. 
I'll probably do that with the those old camelCase commands for 1.5.
(I'll 
simply stop requiring watir/camel_case.rb fror watir.rb).

Paul -> Great idea


You can also release the new code in a separate file and get comments on
it 
first, before making it part of the watir package. I've done this with
the 
new IE#remote_eval method. (Which by the way, i'm prolly going to rename
to 
forked_eval for now, while we still need it.)

>a method to get the html className of any element - or did this already
>get in?

class_name, ahem. Yes i did that. You wrote the code, but then attached
it 
to a method called 'style'.

Paul -> Yes, Id know id already written it, and named it wrong! But it
currently only applies to span/div. it should get moved into Element ( I
think that's whatis called now) so it applies to all html elements

The next step is actually to allow ie.text_field(:class, 'ErrorClass')
to 
work. This would be awesome. Actually my plan is to let any attribute be

able to be used here. It's just a matter of writing less code --
seriously.

Paul -> yep, someone just enterd a feature request for this - the
example you give here wouldn't necessarily work for what I was thinking,
as there may be several textfields with that class

Maybe. I think the how and why will eventually evolve into a more
complex 
structure that will allow multiple hows and whys -- like WET.

What we need is Element#inspect to describe how the object was invoked.
I 
think. This is how WET redefines the to_s method. I think we need two 
methods -- one that says how the object was specified (and that probably

also reports on container/ancestor objects) and the other that lists 
attributes in detail.

Maybe we give these two different names, neither of which is to_s or 
inspect and then these names can have a default binding to these
methods, 
but this can easily be changed by frameworks (like WET) that want to do 
things different.

I am also thinking that what we really need is a hook for an exception 
handler, so people can customize it get the behavior they want.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Load Testing with Watir?
Message-ID: <24d0cb3805082121137eb284c9@mail.gmail.com>

Anyone here ever tried to create scripts that could be used for load 
testing?

What are the Con's of such approach? Would it be any effective at all in 
your opinion?

You could generate some load, but you would have Internet Explorer instances
using a lot of resources on your test machines. Not using a browser and
sending HTTP requests doesn't require the resources that multiple IE
instances would, so you can generate more simulated load.

Watir 1.4.1 is a minor update to 1.4.0 that includes a brand new installer. 
We think people will find this much easier to use. Thanks to Kingsley for 
providing it. It is a nullsoft-based installer.

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104&release_id=2725

Please let us know if there are problems. We also fixed the tests that were 
failing in 1.4.0.

We plan to have a gem for 1.4.1 out very shortly.

Summary: Installer should create links to examples

Initial Comment:
The installer (i.e. the new null soft installer) should create links, both on the desktop and on the start menu, to the examples directory.

The UI to the options for these links should be like those for the documentation.

Summary: Uninstall (Nullsoft) should uninstall Watir library

Initial Comment:
The uninstall feature currently uninstalls the doc and tests, but not the actual watir library itself. It should.

One reason is that, people really should uninstall via nullsoft before installing watir via gem, otherwise who knows what library they will actually end up using.

The main page for rdoc should be Watir::IE.

We should :include: the readme file here.

We should also take the release notes out of the readme and into a release notes file. The release notes arguably don't need to be in the rdoc at all.

Initial Comment:
Now that we are distributing Watir as a Gem, we need to make the RDOC be a portal to all of our documentation.

1. The main page of the RDOC should include links to the other Watir documentation (all doc in our package is also on our website).

We also need to rearrange release notes, support information, etc, taking a cue from how other ruby projects are documented.

we currently use one-based indexing for :index and for columns and rows in tables, but users are confused and can't tell where Watir's one-based indexing end and Ruby's zero-based indexing begins.

We need to make watir consistent with ruby.

Summary: Attach should wait for window to appear

Initial Comment:
This is a bug. Please go ahead and log it on our bug tracker.

Attach should wait a reasonable amount of time for a new window to appear. It should attach to the window when it appears, or else fail after a reasonable amount of time has passed.

(BTW, IE#wait should also fail after a reasonable amount of time has passed. Right now it waits forever.)

What is reasonable? The default should probably be about 5 seconds. It should be set as a configurable option.

To date, we have attached these kinds of configurable options to a particular IE object. That approach won't work here, because the IE object doesn't exist until IE#attach has returned.

(I've been wanting to set up configuration options as a separate object for a while. This situation should be taken into account.)

Subject: [Wtr-general] Sleep statements and Attach

The code below, for example, is a typical thing that I have to do in our application.

1)       Click on an icon to launch the Select Portfolio window

2)       The problem is that it may take the Select Portfolio window a little while to load,

            so I have to add a Sleep parameter otherwise, the attach statement will fail because it can t find the title

3)       Is there a way to do this without using the Sleep statements?

4)       Also once I am done with this Select Portfolio, I close it, and need to reconnect back to the main window of the application to continue with the script and there again I have to put a Sleep statement.

5)       Any help/suggestion you have to handle this is appreciated



            ie.frame("main").frame(:name, "context_bar").image(:src, /icon_open.gif/).click

            sleep 3

      ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "Select Portfolio")



            #Reconnect back to main frame

            sleep 3

            ie = Watir::IE.attach(:url, "https://test.com/araneae/app")
