Cool stuff. Side note -- since y'all've now got a firm home base at
RubyForge, if you'd rather move off the clabs.org/wtr wiki to the one
hosted at RubyForge, feel free. But this isn't a sideways request to
move, you're more than welcome to stay on at my place, too.

As you can see, i've been experimenting with the wiki on RubyForge. It uses
UseMod and i am finding that this wiki has some nice features that the CL
wiki doesn't seem to have. Like tables.
I am thinking that we should put new pages here, but i don't see a
compelling reason to move for the sake of moving. We do need some cross
links, however.
BTW, if you include external links on the new wiki, you have to do
HTTP://www.whatever.com. In other words the HTTP part must in all caps.
Apparently this is sufficient to keep out the wiki spammers. At least for now.

Subject: [Wtr-general] showModalDialog Watir & Ruby?
In-Reply-To: <000901c50806$b1ff9430$6400a8c0@NewDell>
Message-ID: <200502010836.j118a9dS030714@rubyforge.org>
Thanks Paul
Regarding the fact that the script hangs once the dialog is open - am I on
the right track with regards to using threads or another process to avoid
that?
I do actually want to access objects in the window...
I can access the objects in the Main Window as I can perform a
pageContainsText() on the main window while the dialog is open. I think that
there is a container somewhere in the Object model that will allow me to
access the dialog.
I will take a look through Microsoft's docs on IE and the Rdoc & code to see
if there is a way of doing this. If I work it out, I will write it up for
anyone else's benefit.
If anyone wants to offer help, I would be glad to receive it.

I was wondering if instead of winclicker, we could use WSH. It can send keys (even especial keys) to an application.
Here is a little example that writes 1 to the Calculator.
require 'win32ole'
wshShell = WIN32OLE.new("WScript.Shell")
wshShell.AppActivate("Calc"); #AppActivate search the applications by title
wshShell.SendKeys("1")

You can then send messages to it using the regulat windows api - we

Subject: [Wtr-general] showModalDialog Watir & Ruby?
Hi,
I am looking for some any clarification/pointers/help on writing a Watir
script that will work with a site that uses window.showModalDialog().
If you have the solution then there is no need to read the rest of this
e-mail - otherwise please read on for detail.
BACKGROUND:
I am brand new to both Ruby and Watir (been on my todo list for some
time) and only started looking at it in the last few hours... so perhaps
I am trying to run before I can walk... but did anyone find a solution
for using modal dialogs (see prior mentions of this appended to this
e-mail)?
The story is that I have a link that opens a dialog:
onclick="window.showModalDialog(this.href,'newModal'); return
false">TEST NEW MODAL LINK
(sorry - that link is ugly, but I wanted it to be compact for the
e-mail)
Problem 1:
If you just click on the link:
$ie.link(:text, 'TEST NEW MODAL LINK').click
Then execution of the Watir script hangs. Closing the modal dialog
manually then resumes execution of the Watir script.
I havn't checked the code but I am assuming that this is because it is
waiting for IE to say it is complete - which of course IE doesn't do
until you close the dialog window.
I imagine this can be worked around by clicking the link with a new
thread or process (will have to look up how to do that)? Any pointers
are welcomed
**Problem 2 - More problematic?**
I have also tried looking at accessing the document in the dialog. This
wasn't obvious - despite some experimentation with IRB against a window
that has a dialog open.
Any pointers to accessing properties &/ methods of the window object
would be appreciated.
Perhaps a simple way of accessing window.dialogArguments which
(apparently) returns the object sent to the modal dialog:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/dia
loga
rguments.asp
HISTORY:
I have read some of the correspondence (below) and it appears that there
isn't a solution available- apologies if I have missed something?
MY NEXT STEPS:
Hope that someone here has the answers I need. Failing that...
I intend to investigate:
Problem 1.
Threads
I am going to take a look at threads to see if that will help.
http://www.mattriffle.com/mirrors/ruby_book/html/tut_threads.html
Alternatively, I see there is a way do do this using a Clicker run as a
separate process.
AVOIDING waitForIE
I suspect I have to get deeper and revert to Win32OLE to do that?
Problem 2.
ACCESSING properties and methods of the window object through Ruby
If someone has already scripted against modal Dialogs in IE then please
let me know.
**If not, then any pointers/suggestions/ideas would be gratefully
received.**

This is the same approach I took with my Perl layer. Try this: take
your WSH code above and put it inside an infinite loop that sleeps for
a second or so. That way, anytime the "Calc" window shows up, your
code will do it's thing.
I'm handling 3 popup windows and a filesystem operation like this, I
and intend to add network and database components.
Unfortunately, I can't think of an elegant way to do this in WATIR.

Message-ID: <200502011751.j11HpfdS005353@rubyforge.org>
Thanks for the ideas.
The problem I am trying to solve is that the dialog contains an HTML
document. The HTML contains checkboxes and a input field. So to see if I can
at least access the dialogArguments property, I have been rummaging trying
to find a way of accessing the DOM window object but it seems that I can
only access the document object (am I missing something?)
In order to test the inputs on this dialog it is necessary to interact with
the document.
I will try sendKeys to tab around - I'll see if that works.
It seems that the IE interface doesn't allow you to access these dialogs -
although there is mention of an IHTMLDialog interface available on:
MSDN Home > MSDN Library > Web Development > Programming and Reusing the
Browser > MSHTML Reference > Interfaces and Scripting Objects
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/mshtml/reference/ifaces/dialog/d
ialog.asp)
Perhaps this is accessible somehow through WIN32OLE but I am going to have
to learn a lot more before I know whether it's feasible or not.
Fortunately, there is a workaround in this case. The Dialog only sets values
in the main window based on values set in the dialog. The dialog could then
be tested manually. I would prefer it if the dialog testing could be
automated but if it can't, it can't... I can think of another workaround
which would involve opening a new window containing the same HTML but I will
have to see if this impacts the function of the form - I can at least get
part way there.
Thanks for the input... all useful suggestions.

Hi Antony..
Have you attempted to use the "attach" method in WATIR? See the
"attachToExistingWindow_test.rb" to see how it works. I have not
used this feature, but others have, and I *think* it solves your
problem.

My tests use most if not all of the frames methods, and they still
run in the same way with the same syntax. I'll look into the error
handling a bit, but for now: nice job on the refactor!
One note, though: ie.frame("myFrame").click still doesn't work;
use ie.frame("myFrame").focus instead.

I need to string a number of tests together in a manner similar
to all_tests.rb.
Although I have almost no experiece with xUnit, I'm very familiar
with assertions/conditionals/rescue, etc.
So I'm looking for more detailed information about some things:
How does all_tests.rb manage to run each test inside a single browser
instance? I don't understand the magic that makes that happen.
What does testUnitAddons.rb buy us? I don't understand the context
for this set of methods, or its relation to test::unit.
Finally, I've discovered the rdoc for Test::Unit on ruby-doc.org, but
I think it would be helpful to have a beefier WATIR-specific
description of test/unit in the WATIR user doc. (Maybe as a separate
page?)

we do $ie = IE.new() in the initialization code. This assigns a global
variable to a browser. All the tests use this global variable. this code is
in setup.rb.

it adds four new types of assertions to those normally included in test-unit.

well we need something.
i've been putting together a bit of a wrapper around test-unit in the
scripting101 materials. this is what it looks like:
require 'test/unit'
class LoadTestScript < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_login_start
load 'testscript.rb'
end
def teardown
$ie.close if $ie
end
end
i've found that many testers would like their tests to look like scripts
that can also be run outside of a test harness. i'd like to work on
building out this idea further.
technically, this really should be a separate module from Watir, because it
could also be used for other non-watir tests.

Subject: [Wtr-general] using drb to avoid blocking test scripts
Message-ID: <20050202004110.6096.qmail@web21324.mail.yahoo.com>
Hi!
I've been using Watir for a while, and almost the only thing that I didn't like was that the test scripts would block whenever the IE shows a popup window.I don't like very much the WinClicker either, because I feel it?s a little confusing to send the command to close a popup before opening the popup.
I was thinking how could a script continue its execution when the IE blocks and I think I may have found something (Sorry if this is something that you have already considered and discarded)
I've been playing a little with drb (or Distributed Ruby) and I found that is very easy to run Watir::IE in a server process and make the scripts drive IE throug this server.
My English is not very good, so I will show the code.
This is the server:
##SERVER
require 'drb'
require 'watir'
aServerObject = Watir::IE.new
DRb.start_service('druby://localhost:9000', aServerObject)
DRb.thread.join
#SERVER
If you run this server in the background, then you can can write test script like this:
require 'drb'
DRb.start_service()
ie = DRbObject.new(nil, 'druby://localhost:9000')
ie.goto("file://c:\\watir_bonus\\unitTests\\html\\popups1.html")
alert = ie.button(:value,'Alert')
#THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART:
#THIS WILL NOT BLOCK THE SCRIPT!
th = Thread.new {alert.click}
#Here you can put code to close the alert
# or th.join to wait for the IE to be ready
It is a little complicated but I think most of it can be hidden from the end user.
What do you think?

This solves my problem:
assert_match("SiteFrame style=\"DISPLAY: none;",ie.getHTML.to_s)
The only funny part is that in the failure case, Test::Unit prints the
entire output of ie.getHTML to the console. That's a lot of text.

You want to be careful with this. The html that getHTML returns is
different to what you see if you do a view source.

Understood. Bret mentioned this at AWTA. The example he used was
that your actual page might in fact be missing a tag, but the
output from getHTML will include the tag.
In my case, I don't care. I'm not checking for valid HTML, I'm
checking that a particular screen layout is in fact in place. As long
as *some* criterion points to the existence of that layout, any
differences between what's extrapolated from the DOM (getHTML) and
what actually exists in the page (View Source) doesn't matter.
Test::Unit still rawks. I've wanted to dig into one of these
frameworks for some time now, Ruby's makes a lot of sense.

Hi...
I'm nearly certain this isn't possible today.
My app has a "maximize" button. When maximized, all control
buttons are hidden from the user. F11 (or F10 or F9, etc.) will cause
the display to revert from maximized to the normal display.
Can we have WATIR send an F11 keyboard instruction to the IE
window being manipulated?

On review, F10 would be more useful than F11. F would be best.

IIRC, F11 is called theater mode or somesuch, and I believe the IE COM
interface has a place to set this, and thus WATIR should be able to set
this -- just like the visible setting.

I think it's FullScreen.
Here is something you can try in class IE (in watir.rb):
def full_screen(value)
@ie.FullScreen= (value)
end
call it like this:
ie.full_screen(true)
in a script or with IRB. It uses this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reference/properties/fullscreen.asp
"In full-screen mode, the Internet Explorer main window is maximized and the
status bar, toolbar, menu bar, and title bar are hidden."
This may not be what you're looking for, but give it a shot.
to turn off:
ie.full_screen(false)
iirc, setting it to false just makes the window not-fullscreen, but with no
toolbars, etc.
To quote Donald Knuth:
"Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it."

Watir does not currently work by using keyboard commands or menu commands.
Instead it uses the OLE interface.
One advantage of this approach is that you can run the same tests with IE
either visible or invisible. Also, you can have the window covered by
another window and the tests will still run.
We could start using other methods to directly send keyboard commands to
the window. One draw back of this is that the ability to run in the
background would be impaired. Even if we only did this with a few Watir
commands, users might not realize which commands were using which
mechanisms (which they really shouldn't have to know) and then they would
find that they could only reliably run their tests in a visible foreground
browser.
In other words, this request could end up reducing Watir's percieved
functionality.
Do you simply want the ability to minimize and maximize a window? If we can
i'd rather do this using OLE. A quick look didn't reveal it, however.

Hi,
I am trying to test a page that has frames but when I use showFrames, I only get
irb(main):017:0> ie.showFrames
there are 2 frames
=> 0..1
And I don't get the frames names. Anyone knows why is this happening?
I looked into the HTML and the frames are being generated with javascript.
Thanks in advanced.

So the first paragraph is what I accomplish when I use WATIR to click
a particular button in the app. The second paragraph isn't quite what
I'm after either--I want the toolbars back.
I know that F11 returns IE to normal-but-full-screen mode, F10 returns
IE to the state I left it, namely normal-and-less-than-full-screen.
Is it possible to simply manipulate the top row of keyboard keys (F12,
F11, F10, F9, etc.) without reference to DOM/COM?

No, it's trickier than that.
I'll do a little research, figure out what F10 represents in terms of
OLE/COM/whatever (unless someone on the list already knows?), and get
back to you.

hmmm.. that's too bad. I wonder if there is a COM method that we can use other
than FullScreen, or use something else with it to get it back in the same mode
it was before.

possible, yes, but it can jeopardize some of the cool background functionality
that we can get with Watir. (cf. Bret's email). It would be nicer to use
built-in browser commands to emulate it if possible.

Tell me if I'm on the right track:
SendInput
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/userinput/keyboardinput/keyboardinputreference/keyboardinputfunctions/sendinput.asp
accepts virtual key codes:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/WindowsUserInterface/UserInput/VirtualKeyCodes.asp
This seems to bear some relation to the WATIR "onKeyPress" method, and
resembles even more some of the code in winClicker.
If I have to, I can shell out to run a Perl script that'll attach to
the window and send F10, but that's just nasty. ;) Not to mention
unreliable. I don't really want Perl touching my IE. Popups, yes,
but IE itself should be run by pure WATIR I think.

Subject: [Wtr-general] looping over rows in a table
Message-ID: <72799cd70502021428397d3167@mail.gmail.com>
Hi...
I want to loop over rows in a table by index, doing amazing wonderful
WATIR things until I encounter a table index that contains specific
text. I'm thinking that the best way to do this is to do a for...in
loop with a stupidly large end index, then exit when I find the end
row, like so:
for i in 1..1000
s = table(:index, i).to_a
if s !~ /"myText"/
#do stuff
else
break
end
end
but that seems inelegant. Can anyone suggest a more foolproof way
that doesn't involve a gigantic range of the for...in loop?

The Watir doKeyPress method directly accesses the DOM, so it is something
different. (onKeyPress is a JavaScript method -- and something completely
different).
There is code in winClicker, however, which is similar to this. (Which
makes me wonder whether the winClicker code works when IE isn't visible.)

There are both Perl and Ruby libraries that throw key events at windows.
If you want to avoid Perl, then you could use
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=win32-guitest
To me Watir won't be pure if we start throwing raw events at the window. It
may, in the end be what we have to do, but i'd like to search for COM
interfaces first.

To help with questions like this, im thinking it would be useful to
track what 'version' is being used.
class IE
include Watir::Exception
VERSION = "$Revision: xx $" #cvs adds this
then Watir::IE::VERSION tells us which 'version' is being used.
Any other suggestions?

Subject: [Wtr-general] trackers
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050202230449.0321ca60@127.0.0.1>
Jonathan,
I'd like to see all of our bugs, feature requests and development stories
in a single tracker. (Probably easiest to move them all to feature requests
-- can we hide the others?)
We can use either the Category or Group field to indicate whether it is a
bug or a feature request or a task (these are not always important
distinctions to me). (I don't think the current categories are helpful.)
I would like to categorize tasks in terms of
-- how much work is it -- i am thinking that a scale like 1 hr, 2 hr, 4 hr,
1 day, 2 days, 1 week would be good -- essential estimating within a binary
order of magnitude
This mail is mostly for Jonathan because he's been good about setting this
stuff up, but i'm sending to the list in case anyone else wants to help out
or comment.
Bret

Subject: [Wtr-general] looping over rows in a table
Hi...
I want to loop over rows in a table by index, doing amazing wonderful
WATIR things until I encounter a table index that contains specific
text. I'm thinking that the best way to do this is to do a for...in
loop with a stupidly large end index, then exit when I find the end row,
like so:
for i in 1..1000
s = table(:index, i).to_a
if s !~ /"myText"/
#do stuff
else
break
end
end
but that seems inelegant. Can anyone suggest a more foolproof way that
doesn't involve a gigantic range of the for...in loop?

Here are those methods. Im really too tired to check them in now, and
add unit tests.
def showTables()
allTables = getDocument.body.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")
if allTables.length == 0
puts "No Tables!"
else
i = 0
allTables.each do |t|
i+=1
puts "index: #{i} id: #{t.invoke("id")}"
end
end

allTables = getDocument.body.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")

not really. if table objects are done correctly,
ie.table(:index, 1).show_tables
would work.

What we really need is a TableWrapper class. Then we can do
def tables()
_tables = []
getDocument.body.getElementsByTagName("TABLE").each do | table |
tables << TableWrapper.new(table)
end
return _tables
end
for table in ie.tables do
s = table(:index, i).to_a
if s !~ /"myText"/
#do stuff
else
break
end
end
For an example of how to make a wrapper class, see FormWrapper.
TableWrapper could also be used to make a beefier show_tables method.

I found out the problem. It was that I didn?t have access to the frames (because of the cross-site problem).
The showFrames method didn't show me the "access denied" message because it only does that if the error message contains the phrase "Access is denied", and as I am working with a Windows version translated to Spanish the error messages says "Acceso denegado" instead...
I am not sure about the version of watir that I am using because I picked it from the repository a couple days ago. This is the header from watir.rb
# This is Watir, a web application testing tool for Ruby

It shouldn't care about IE. It'll fail if the popup windows are not

This module a) depends on cygwin, making it not very portable b)
hasn't been maintained since 2002. Too much overhead for me, although
some sort of WATIR-GuiTest interface/relationship would be very
powerful.

I agree. But function keys might be a special case. I can't really
*make* that case, though, perhaps someone else will. For now, I think
the WSH solution is the best one.

Can we log this bug?
We should catch this exception and then print it (whatever it happens to
be) in the showFrames output.

The exception is ugly, which is why I added a reg exp to catch the
access denied. It never occurred to me that we would have a
multinational audience.
Maybe we need a language library....

Perhaps we should make a new project - ( WINTIR Windows Testing In Ruby
) and make the winclickers and the guitest stuff go in there.
We could then drop winclickers and get the guitest stuff up to date.
Any body want to lead this?

I switched to full-screen mode using this:
ie.getIE.parent.FullScreen = true
and to get back to the original size:
ie.getIE.parent.FullScreen = false
ie.getIE.parent.ToolBar = 1
I imagine we could add a couple of methods like these
module Watir
class IE
def fullScreenSwitch
if(getIE.parent.FullScreen) then
normalScreen
else
fullScreen
end
end
def normalScreen
getIE.parent.FullScreen = false
getIE.parent.ToolBar = 1
end
def fullScreen
getIE.parent.FullScreen = true
end
end

Hi...
I'm nearly certain this isn't possible today.
My app has a "maximize" button. When maximized, all control
buttons are hidden from the user. F11 (or F10 or F9, etc.) will cause
the display to revert from maximized to the normal display.
Can we have WATIR send an F11 keyboard instruction to the IE
window being manipulated?

Ah, the method to turn the toolbar back on. cool.
Chris, if you drop this in your ie class, this might test out whether a method
like this will help you or not:
#window goes to full screen, or back to normal
# value - boolean. if true, sets to fullscreen. if
# false, sets back to normal screen size with toolbar
def fullScreen(value)
if value
@ie.FullScreen = (value)
else
@ie.FullScreen = (value)
@ie.ToolBar = 1
end
end
Usage:
ie.fullScreen(true) #window set to fullscreen
ie.fullScreen(false) #fullscreen turned off, toolbar turned on
Thanks Lorenzo, that's the method I was looking for.

Paul,
In talking with our coders it sounds like what we use
is based on pretty old technology. Our coders think I
would be banned from the list if I asked this to be
included. :)
We hope, crossing my fingers, to move to the latest
and greatest infurgistics grids in a few months. At
that point I'll make a request.
There is plenty for us to use and lean at this point
with out the grids.

With sendKeys, the ie.focus isn't necessary and the F button command
is case sensitive. This is what I used and it works like a charm.
shell = WIN32OLE.new("WScript.Shell")
shell.SendKeys('{f10}')
It wouldn't work until the F in F10 was changed to f10

Hi...
Some of my company's field engineers are in town for training.
I've been showing them some of the WATIR scripts I've built, and the
reaction from the FEs is unanimous: they want it. One of my demo
scripts is an effective comprehensive test regardless of the size or
configuration of the system.
My FEs are now thinking about putting WATIR and my comprehensive
script(s) on their laptops for use as a portable diagnostic tool.
And BTW, in the interest of full disclosure, Chris Hedges is an
intern at my company from Fort Lewis College here in Durango. He
wrote his first WATIR test yesterday, and solved my F10 problem today.
How cool is that? =)

Message-ID: <77ED2BF75D59D1439F90412CC5B1097416206DC2@ie10-sahara.hiso.honeywell.com>
Hi,
I am trying to automate a Java based web application.
The controls present in the login page are username, password text controls
and a submit button. But they are not present in the login.jsp. Instead
there is a value being passed in the login jsp, based on which the control
is transferred to either JSP 1 or JSP 2. The controls are defined in these
JSP's. How can I pass the values to these controls using the login page URL
in my WATIR program? Because these controls are not recognized in the login
page. The code is given below.
require 'watir'
URL = "http://sampleurl/login.jsp "
puts 'Before Opening the browser'
$ie=Watir::IE.start(URL)
puts 'After Opening the browser'
$ie.textField(:name, "username").set("admin")
Here I got the output as
>ruby OpenIE.rb
Before Opening the browser
|\-/|\-/|\-/|After Opening the browser
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2120:in `set': Unable to locate a
textfield using name and username
(Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
from OpenIE.rb:14
>Exit code: 1
Also when I tried to give puts statements before and after the
$ie=Watir::IE.start(URL) - URL of the login page, only the msg before the
start() is displayed, The puts given after the start() is not displayed. I
have given the code below.
puts 'Before Opening the browser' # This is displayed
$ie=Watir::IE.start(URL)
puts 'After Opening the browser' # This is not displayed
Can someone provide some solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance

Muthiah,
I had a tricky application as well, lots of javascript. The best advice I
got was to use IRB and issue the commands by hand to see what you have.
Enter a command prompt and issue the command irb, then issue:
require 'watir'
$ie=Watir::IE.start("
http://sampleurl/login.jsp")
$ie.ShowAllObjects
$ie.ShowImages
If you can't find what you are looking for, then you will have to look at
the output HTML (view source in browser), look for hidden fields that pass
values, etc. Based on both the things I found the input fields I was
looking for and was able to modify them.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Clicked the Image, but Got Error Message
Message-ID:
I finally was able to click on an image in a popup using attach
(suggestion--can we put an additional input parameter into attach that
specifies the amount of time that we are willing to wait for the popup to
appear?). Here's a code snippet:
# Press the validate button.
$ie.button(:src, /button_validate.gif/).click
# Wait for the validation popup window to appear.
sleep 5
# Attach to the validation popup window.
$ie = Watir::IE.attach(:url, /origin=registerCustomer/ )
# Press the popup's Accept button (click on its image)
$ie.image(:src, /accept_Enabled.gif/).click
This last call, even though it does what I want it to do, spawns an error

Interesting. My code (below) was run in irb (where the ie.focus was
required) and the f11 worked. I used cut and paste from irb to mail.

I don't think we need to quite that far.
I thought there might be another Ruby window clicking library, but now
understand that it won't work for us. Oh well.
I think we also have an OLE-based solution to the specific request that
started this thread.
The win clickers still need work, based on a good understanding of threads
& processes and windows api's.

I finally was able to click on an image in a popup using attach
(suggestion--can we put an additional input parameter into attach that
specifies the amount of time that we are willing to wait for the popup
to
appear?). Here's a code snippet:
# Press the validate button.
$ie.button(:src, /button_validate.gif/).click
# Wait for the validation popup window to appear.
sleep 5
# Attach to the validation popup window.
$ie = Watir::IE.attach(:url, /origin=registerCustomer/ )
# Press the popup's Accept button (click on its image) $ie.image(:src,
/accept_Enabled.gif/).click
This last call, even though it does what I want it to do, spawns an
error
message:

Subject: [Wtr-general] WATIR for online help?
Message-ID: <72799cd7050204084828651a4@mail.gmail.com>
Hi...
This is more of a testing question than a WATIR question, but here goes:
I've got an app that has online help implemented via a tool called
RoboHelp. It's a good target for WATIR because there is a page with
some buttons and with two frames: a TOC frame on the left and a
information frame on the right. Left frame seems to be control-only,
but right frame has links to other right-frame pages. This is fairly
complex.
The question is: should I bother? Here are the reasons I think I
might not want to sign up to automate this testing:
A real person has to evaluate each page for
spelling/grammar/usability anyway.
RoboHelp is probably a pretty robust tool Chance of ever finding
an error is slim.
Opinions are welcome...

Hi Ian,
I tried with the irb. It was giving only one menu object as shown below and
no images are shown at all. It cannot identify the text box controls in the
page. (Because of frames??? I am not sure about it) Please see the output
below.
irb(main):004:0> $ie.showAllObjects
-----------Objects in page -------------
HTML Document name=menu id=
src=signin.jsp?err=
=> []
irb(main):005:0> $ie.showImages
=> []
Actually the control names are defined in a separate jsp. I got the names by
reading the other jsp. But that JSP is not visible directly to the user. The
user will open only the login jsp which displays the controls from this jsp.
Hence when I use Watir to open the login jsp, and when I give the names of
the controls, it is not recognizing. Because the controls are not defined in
login jsp (I believe).
Any other way by which this can be done? Or my understanding of the issue is
not correct? Looking for your inputs.
Regards,
Muthiah C

Hi,
I am trying to automate a Java based web application.
The controls present in the login page are username, password text controls
and a submit button. But they are not present in the login.jsp. Instead
there is a value being passed in the login jsp, based on which the control
is transferred to either JSP 1 or JSP 2. The controls are defined in these
JSP's. How can I pass the values to these controls using the login page URL
in my WATIR program? Because these controls are not recognized in the login
page. The code is given below.
require 'watir'
URL = "http://sampleurl/login.jsp "
puts 'Before Opening the browser'
$ie=Watir::IE.start(URL)
puts 'After Opening the browser'
$ie.textField(:name, "username").set("admin")
Here I got the output as
>ruby OpenIE.rb
Before Opening the browser
|\-/|\-/|\-/|After Opening the browser
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2120:in `set': Unable to locate a
textfield using name and username
(Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
from OpenIE.rb:14
>Exit code: 1
Also when I tried to give puts statements before and after the
$ie=Watir::IE.start(URL) - URL of the login page, only the msg before the
start() is displayed, The puts given after the start() is not displayed. I
have given the code below.
puts 'Before Opening the browser' # This is displayed
$ie=Watir::IE.start(URL)
puts 'After Opening the browser' # This is not displayed
Can someone provide some solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance

Muthiah,
I had a tricky application as well, lots of javascript. The best advice I
got was to use IRB and issue the commands by hand to see what you have.
Enter a command prompt and issue the command irb, then issue:
require 'watir'
$ie=Watir::IE.start("
http://sampleurl/login.jsp")
$ie.ShowAllObjects
$ie.ShowImages
If you can't find what you are looking for, then you will have to look at
the output HTML (view source in browser), look for hidden fields that pass
values, etc. Based on both the things I found the input fields I was
looking for and was able to modify them.

Interesting. My code (below) was run in irb (where the ie.focus was
required) and the f11 worked. I used cut and paste from irb to mail.

I don't think we need to quite that far.
I thought there might be another Ruby window clicking library, but now
understand that it won't work for us. Oh well.
I think we also have an OLE-based solution to the specific request that
started this thread.
The win clickers still need work, based on a good understanding of threads &
processes and windows api's.

Hi All,
The solution worked out and I got the problem solved by using
$ie.frame("menu").textField(:name, "username").set("abcd")
Since the application is using frames, it cannot directly recognize the
controls directly.
Thanks to all the helping WATIR minds.

I could see some value in creating a general program that located links and
systematically checked to make sure they didn't 404. But mostly, this isn't
really a good automation target.

That's a bug, which happens to be fixed in HEAD.

Some people I showed Watir had problems with finding elements that were in frames too.
May be there should be methods that search for elements in the entire document (going into frames if necesary)?

I'm not sure this is a good idea. My application has 5 frames on the
top-level page, then each of those frames has at least one and as many
as three frames within them. That is an uncontrollable number of
objects, and building the classification system for them might be
rough.
There are cross-site scripting issues to contend with also.
I'd prefer to rely on the intelligence and experience of the users to
know or to find out what a frame is, and how frames work.

That comes from the logger defined in setup.rb.

I like the idea. Another thing we need to with the attach code is only
attach to IE windows. The code right now will 'attach' to any window
matching the specs. I made a note to require that
@ie.name == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer'
but now i am worried that this will cause it to fail on non-english
installs, as well as on installs where the browser is named something like
'AT&T World Net's Microsoft Internet Explorer'.
So i think we need to hook off a GUID or something.

Actually, i think the method should wait for a window to appear without any
change to the signature.
We have built waits into other methods, and think the same philosophy
should govern here as well.

installs, as well as on installs where the browser is named something like
'AT&T World Net's Microsoft Internet Explorer'.
So i think we need to hook off a GUID or something.

Really?!? That's actually pretty cool. It would (for instance) allow
the user to send F10 or (I guess) "CLOSE" to any window on the
machine, instead of just the window being manipulated by WATIR.
Again, GuiTest has its own hook to do this, but until GuiTest on Ruby
is friendlier, this might be a feature, not a bug.

I'm not sure it's quite so cool.
The code assumes it is attaching to an IE window, but doesn't in fact check
to make sure it is one.
So it will probably fail if it actually attaches to a non-IE window. This
is a bug that we need to fix.
What we need are a separate set of classes to handle dialogs. So far we
have a lot of spikes and they really need to be consolidated into a library
with unit tests of their own.

Message-ID: <20050204213449.44247.qmail@web21326.mail.yahoo.com>
I am writing a script to test a page that has a table that contains radio buttons.
I would like to be able to write something like:
table.to_a[0][2].click
but to_a returns a array of strings.
Is there a method that returns the objects contained in a table?
If there isn't would you like that I write such a method (TDD, of course)?

I think you want to click buttons by index.
ie.button(:index, 1).click
ie.button(:index, 3).click
Might get you there.
Something like
a = table(:index, 0).to_a
s2 = a[0].to_s
puts s2
will put the identifier for the table element into the variable s2.

So should we also add a max wait time, so that if the window doesn't
appear in x seconds we throw an exception?
This is fairly easy to do with the timeout library

Actually, i think the method should wait for a window to appear without
any
change to the signature.
We have built waits into other methods, and think the same philosophy
should govern here as well.

I like the idea. Another thing we need to with the attach code is only
attach to IE windows. The code right now will 'attach' to any window
matching the specs. I made a note to require that
@ie.name == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer'
but now i am worried that this will cause it to fail on non-english
installs, as well as on installs where the browser is named something
like
'AT&T World Net's Microsoft Internet Explorer'.
So i think we need to hook off a GUID or something.

Is this what you would be looking for?
table.row(:index, 1).cell(:index, 3).radio(:index, 1).set

1-based indexing for Watir.

we should do this with both attach and the normal wait method.
this should be configurable just like the other settings -- currently they
are constants on the IE object, although i think we will want to make a
separate configuration object someday.

One of the things I found very useful in the past is to get text from a
table, based on other cells in the table. For example:
Name
Paul Rogers
email
paul.rogers at shaw.ca
fax number
123 444 5555
I would then have a method like this:
ie.table(:id, 'userdetails').getNextTableCellContent("Name")
this would return 'Paul Rogers'
this is useful when testing, as we can detect that the correct data
ended up in the correct place.
So you could definitely write that. I dont think the version I currently
have would work with watir.
This could also be expanded to getting controls:
Name
Paul Rogers
Click To Edit This User
Im assuming here that id_edit_user_1234 is some sort of automatically
generated id from the server, so I couldnt just use:
ie.button(ie , 'id_edit_user_1234 ').click
as I wont know the iD to use.
So to try and access this I think we would need to expand the :afterText
to work across table cells
This is also something I would like to see done

Let me tell you about a change i'm making to the Watir interface and then
i'll ask for some related advice.
Changes Underway
I am changing all the method names from being in camelCase to having
under_scores.
So instead of ie.textField() you will do ie.text_field.
Don't panic. We will provide complete backwards compatability for the old
interface. But new code will be written in the new way and we will be
updating all the doc to feature the new syntax.
Why am i doing this? Mainly because this is the standard way of doing
things in Ruby and i want to get contributions from other Ruby coders.
Making our Ruby code look like Ruby instead of Java makes this a more
appealing project for them to work on.
At the same time, i am also replacing some methods that say ie.getFoo with
simply ie.foo. Using 'get' and 'set' are Java vestiges that make sense in
that language, but don't really make sense in Ruby. In fact, it is a
benefit that in ruby ie.foo could refer either to a method or to an
instance variable with an attribute accessor. An example of this is that
the ie.getIE method is being replace by ie.ie attribute accessor.
Question 1
As i am making these changes, i've noticed a few inconsistencies that i
would like your advice with.
We currently have the following methods:
ie.getText
form.getText
frame.getText
div.getText
cell.getContents
textField.getContents
All of which do about the same thing (return a string that corresponds to
the contents of the object). I am inclined to make all of them just
foo.text and in fact to add this method to all objects. So you could have
e.g. table.text. Does this make sense?
Question 2
We currently have ie.pageContainsText('foo') which returns true or false
depending on whether the text is actually contained. It also takes a
regular expression. Because of some refactoring, this method is now
inherited to be:
form.pageContainsText('foo')
frame.pageContainsText('foo')
so the name is now a misnomer. Should we change this to
object.contains_text('foo')? Or just object.contains('foo') since we can
also do object.contains(/foo/)?
Or should we just remove this method and instead encourage people to do
object.text.scan() or object.text.match() -- in other words encourage them
to use the built in power of the Ruby libraries, instead of wrapping them
up in library-specific methods.

If you get the latest from HEAD (i.e. the top of the CVS repository),
you'll stop seeing all those log messages.
If you liked them, you can get them back by doing

Built-in methods, scan and match have intuitive names, I see no
problem using them. As I am not a native-speaker, most people should
have no problem either.

Of course, Ruby was designed by a non-native speaker as well.

Id agree that getText should become text ( for a text field do we also
want text= ?)
I think pageContainsText Should remain. This is a simple way of
validating a page and will help newbies. I agree that
ie.text.scan(/foo/) is a more language correct way, but I think it
better for newcomers to get simple easy to use methods, with obvious
names.

foo.text and in fact to add this method to all objects. So you could
have
e.g. table.text. Does this make sense?
Question 2
We currently have ie.pageContainsText('foo') which returns true or false
depending on whether the text is actually contained. It also takes a
regular expression. Because of some refactoring, this method is now
inherited to be:
form.pageContainsText('foo')
frame.pageContainsText('foo')
so the name is now a misnomer. Should we change this to
object.contains_text('foo')? Or just object.contains('foo') since we can
also do object.contains(/foo/)?
Or should we just remove this method and instead encourage people to do
object.text.scan() or object.text.match() -- in other words encourage
them
to use the built in power of the Ruby libraries, instead of wrapping
them
up in library-specific methods.

I agree with Paul. I think it might make sense to eventually have a
"page_contains" method, and we specify whether we are looking for text, or
an image, a message in a DIV, etc.

I hope Ive found a way for us to get access into mozilla, and then

I had been looking at ways to do this using sockets, but then I came
across http://www.croczilla.com/jssh
I havent managed to get it to work so far, but Ive emailed the author to

Can someone else try installing this and see if you can get telnet

As you know, i'm interested in using Selenium for this. There is no reason
we shouldn't try both. Part of what we need to do is creat a structure that
allows different browser driving mechanisms to be plugged into the basic
watir framework, with the current IE/COM driver just one of the possible
drivers.

All of the methods that work with IE, now work with forms and frames. And i
expect that we'll be expanding these to work with more objects with time.
So we have ie.pageContainsText('foo'),
ie.form('bar').pageContainsText('foo'), and
ie.frame('baz').pageContainsText('foo').
In each case, the search is restricted to the context of the containing
object. Would it make more sense if we called these just contains_text? I
think so. (Another idea would be to make ie.page be an actual object, thus
allowing ie.page.contains_text, but i don't think it gains us anything.)
Also, this method has some retry logic in it. If this is really necessary,
then we probably need to add retry logic to lots of other methods (e.g.
ie.text). I am thinking that this must have been a vestige from before the
wait logic was working correctly. Is there a reason to keep it?

contains_text works for me!
I found I needed the retry logic, but I cant remember why. I'll take a
look through my older code and see if I can figure out why.

Hi,
As suggested, I've trying this to access a table contents
table.row(:index, 1).cell(:index, 3).radio(:index, 1).set
But there is not method row for class Table (I am using the latest version from the repository, 1.106). There is a method called row, but it belongs to class IE.
Is there something I am missing?

Is this what you would be looking for?
table.row(:index, 1).cell(:index, 3).radio(:index, 1).set
-- Note that Ruby normally uses 0-based indexing, but we have been using
1-based indexing for Watir.

no, you're not missing anything. When I first wrote these I just added
them to the IE class. We should ideally make them part of the table
class
Until then try just
row(:index, 1).cell(:index, 3).radio(:index, 1).set

Hi,
As suggested, I've trying this to access a table contents
table.row(:index, 1).cell(:index, 3).radio(:index, 1).set
But there is not method row for class Table (I am using the latest
version from the repository, 1.106). There is a method called row, but
it belongs to class IE.
Is there something I am missing?

Is this what you would be looking for?
table.row(:index, 1).cell(:index, 3).radio(:index, 1).set
-- Note that Ruby normally uses 0-based indexing, but we have been using
1-based indexing for Watir.

You're not missing anything.
I'm suggesting how i think we should deliver the solution you are requesting.
I think we need to make a few more refactorings to actually achieve this --
most of the code is actually already in place, and this is the direction
that the code seems to want to go to.

Hi,
Sorry, I understood that that was already implemented.
I began to implement it, and as you say most of the code is already in place. I think there is only one big refactoring needed. As the code is now, all the Watir objects (Button,
TextField,Table, etc.) are created after searching for the corresponding Win32OLE object in the IE object. When I create an object from it's position in the table, I already have the Win32OLE object, and only need to wrap it with the Watir funcionality in order to use it.
So, I think that I will need to add a way of just creating a Watir object from its corresponding Win32OLE object. I think one way of doing this would be adding a new "how" symbol (:from_object ?) to the constructors where the "what" would be the Win32OLE object. In the Button class it would look like this:
class Button < ObjectActions
# Create an instance of the button object
def initialize( ieController, how , what )
@ieController = ieController
if(how == :from_object) then
@o = ieController.getObject( how, what , ["button" , "submit" , "image"] )
else
@o = what
end
super( @o )
@how = how
@what = what
end
end
What do yo think?
Lorenzo.
PD: Paul, I tried @ie.row(:index, 32).cell(:index, 1).radio(:index, 1).set but it didn?t work, because Row does not have a cell method.

Subject: [Wtr-general] TextField within a form choking
Message-ID:
I've just started using Watir * not as a testing program but for automating some work. So far, it's been great except for one problem. I can add text to a page that has only one form without any problem. But when I try to add text to a web pages with two forms, I get a weird error. Here's a very truncated version of the code:
=============================
require 'watir'
include Watir
testSite = 'http://aaa.com/'
$ie = IE.new
$ie.goto(testSite)
...
$ie.image(:alt, "Add a New Item").click
puts "And now to add to the form..."
$ie.form(:name, "formMain").textField(:name, "username").set("Tarik Mazul")
===============================
The program gets to the right page, types a "T" in the textfield "username", and then crashes with the following message:
================================
And now to add to the form...
form how is name name is formMain
Get form formHow is name formName is formMain
form on page, name is formMain
its a collection of forms - length is: 8
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:469:in `waitForIE': uninitialized const
nt Watir::IE::WINOLE32RuntimeError (NameError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2171:in `doKeyPress'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2165:in `each'

from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2131:in `set'
from C:/Automation/ao_adduser.rb:32
===================================
Any idea what's causing the crash? I stole the code for working with a textfield in a form from the form unit test, and since I'm new to Ruby, I may be missing something obvious.
Thanks,
Anders Schneiderman
P.S. In case you're wondering, I have absolutely no error catching code at this point because I'm just trying out Watir; I plan to add it in as soon as I've made one example work successfully.

I know this is fixed in the latest CVS. Are you using 1.0.4? If so, we need
to make a new release that includes this fix.

I downloaded the latest release -- 1.0.4 * so it looks like you'll need to cut another release.

It must be IE version Issue. I am using watir with win98 and IE 6.1.

Inspired by this:
http://jgwebber.blogspot.com/2005/02/mapping-google.html I pointed
WATIR at google's new map service.
It's instructive to look at what WATIR can discern of the actual map
returned. Read the article first, then do
ie.text_field(:id,"q").set("Durango,CO")
ie.button(:index, 1).click
ie.frame("vp").getHTML. (Note that you won't be able to View Source
for the frame, you'll have to use WATIR.)
I bet at least some of you will be surprised. I was.
You could roll your own lat/long lookup service with WATIR and
maps.google.com really easily if you wanted to.

Message-ID: <20050209234459.93997.qmail@web21323.mail.yahoo.com>
Hi,
I've been working in some modifications to the Table object, in order to be able to access the objects inside the tables like this:
@ie.table(:index,1)[1][1].button.click
or
@ie.table(:id,1)[3][5].textField.set("text")
and also to be able to access nested tables like this:
@ie.table(:id,1)[2][1].table[1][2].button.click
(The indexes are 1-based for compatibility with the rest of Watir)
I wrote all the modifications in separated file called "Table2.rb" so if anyone is interested in trying them you can do so by requiring "Table2" after "watir".
Bret and Paul, if you think the modifications are good enough I can merge them with the repository code and send them to you...
I am including a zip file with Table2.rb and the tests. I am not sure if I can attach files in this list, so I will include Table2.rb at the bottom of this mail.

Hi...
Here's an odd thing, I can see in watir.rb that show_links and getHTML
are different, but I'm not sure what causes this:
s = ie.getHTML
works-- the variable "s" contains all the HTML reported, but
x = ie.show_links
doesn't work. "x" is nil.
How can I capture the result of ie.show_links?

getHTML returns a string , show_links just prints it.
We could possibly add
Ie.links.each
So you would do:
Ie.links.each do |l|
myLink = l.to_s
end
Id add it to the feature request tracker.

Hi...
Here's an odd thing, I can see in watir.rb that show_links and getHTML
are different, but I'm not sure what causes this:
s = ie.getHTML
works-- the variable "s" contains all the HTML reported, but
x = ie.show_links
doesn't work. "x" is nil.
How can I capture the result of ie.show_links?

Done, thanks. Note that after thinking it over, the show_* methods
would probably more useful if they returned arrays rather than
strings. Or if the user could easily choose whether to return a
string or an array?

These methods are intended to be used in IRB to help users understand the
structure of the pages they are working with.
It sounds like you are using them for something else. Could you please
explain further.

Sure. I was working with one of my interns putting together a WATIR
demo. If you point WATIR at http:://fortlewis.edu, then do
ie.show_links, the list of links is too large to display under the
default CMD window settings.
Before this, some of the tests we've written for our app depend on
particular strings that exist or do not exist in the output from
getHTML. In order to create these tests, we've been printing getHTML
output to files, then using WinDIFF to find proper criteria for our
assert() statements against the content of getHTML. It's effective.
In a nutshell, we just wanted to print show_links output to file so
that we could carry it around conveniently for awhile.
But on further reflection, I already had some code in some tests like
this (somewhat simplified for this msg):
for i in 2..500
s = ie.table(:index, i).to_a
s2 = s[0].to_s
puts s2
if /GETMEOUTTAHERE/ =~ s2
break
else
ie.frame.link(:index, i).click
sleep 1
begin
assert_match(s2,ie.getHTML.to_s)
f.puts("PASS #{s2} OK\n\n")
rescue => e
f.puts("FAIL #{s2}\n" + e.message + "\n" +
e.backtrace.join("\n") + "\n\n")
end
end #end if
end #end for
so it occurred to me that someday it might be convenient to be able to
do something like (forgive me if this looks too perlish, I think I
copped the Pickaxe example correctly):
a = ie.show_links.to_a
IO.foreach("#{a}")
{ |link|
puts $_
DO STUFF
}
Does that make sense?

Yep, but it'd still be cool to be able to assign the output from
show_* to a variable, so that we could put, say, all of the link
information to a file.

Inspired by this:
http://jgwebber.blogspot.com/2005/02/mapping-google.html I pointed WATIR
at google's new map service.
It's instructive to look at what WATIR can discern of the actual map
returned. Read the article first, then do
ie.text_field(:id,"q").set("Durango,CO")
ie.button(:index, 1).click
ie.frame("vp").getHTML. (Note that you won't be able to View Source
for the frame, you'll have to use WATIR.)
I bet at least some of you will be surprised. I was.
You could roll your own lat/long lookup service with WATIR and
maps.google.com really easily if you wanted to.

This is a great suggestion. I am running into more and more collegues

Several people have asked about contributing code to watir.
In the tracker there are several outstanding issues. If you are
interested in contributing, take a look at the trackers and pick one
that you like.
Remember - we want unit tests for as much as possible.
In fact, a good way to contribute, and to learn watir is to write some
more unit tests
Thanks

Okay. This makes the example a little tricky. This is nice and

Cool. I like that. I'm tempted to put this version in as an example of how to do
an assertion on HTML tag content. This seems like a useful test to me, and shows
how one could do a test on Google maps.
Anyone else agree? disagree?

OK. Lets make one edit, though:
s/sticking frames HTML into variable for test assertion/set up lat and
long for test assertion/
or something like that. The original line is kinda gibberish.

Done. Checked in to the examples directory. Very cool test, so thanks for

Subject: [Wtr-general] Events
Message-ID:
I saw the watir method capture_events and wondered if I was missing
something or if we are shying away from capturing events. The reason that I
wondered this is that I see the wait method used throughout Watir, which
doesn't seem to be necessary if we're using event handling.
In the interest of full disclosure, I'll admit to being pretty confused by
both Watir and the underlying DOM structure/objects/methods. I didn't know
Ruby that well at the time but had been using Perl for years and years, and
I wanted to know all about both the MS DOM objects & methods and Watir, so I
wrote an OO-Perl version that did many things similar to Watir. One of the
first things I tried was using a windows event handler instead of trying to
use an explicit wait method. I kept getting strange errors that, in my
haste, I couldn't make too much sense out of, so I was wondering if this
also happened in your early Watir development.
Thanks.

The capture_events method was once part of the initialize method. We
moved it to a separate place, so that you would have to explicitly
capture the events. The reason it was oved was that watir wouldn't work
with irb when capture_events was being used.
I was hoping to be able to get rid of the wait method and just use the
onPageLoad event, however because of the IRB issue I havent looked into
it anymore
What do you find confusing about watir?

Message-ID:
Guys:
Can I recommend that the following line that occurs twice in
install.rb be removed (or marked optional somehow)?
oShellLink.Hotkey = "CTRL+SHIFT+F"
This statement seems to hook up the keystroke combination Ctrl-Shift-F
to start up a web browser with the WATIR documentation. It's annoying
because I tend to use this keystroke combination for "find in
files..." in some programs...
I have had success deleting the WATIR shortcut from the start menu and
the desktop, and re-running the WATIR install without the following
lines with no problems.
Thanks,
Dominique

And made switches to turn off the spinner. In code:

Great function, would it possible to put this on all methods that would end

Ive made the goto method return the time it took to download in seconds:

And made switches to turn off the spinner. In code:

Im assuming you mean the download time?
You will be able to do this, as soon as I check it in. Im half way
through something else, so it maybe a dy or so away!
Ie.goto("google.com")
Ie.button(:caption , /search/i).click
Puts "downloadtime was : " + ie.down_load_time.to_s
For frames pages it will be the total for all frames. I think I can
split it out into individual frames eventually.

Subject: [Wtr-general] New feature - pluggable error checker - LONG
Message-ID: <002801c513e9$e752fb10$6400a8c0@NewDell>
Ive at last got round to adding a feature I particularly like. Ive had
the code for a while, but Bret kept telling me it was too much like
java, so I now have a ruby version.
I call this the pluggable error checker. I'll explain its use by an
example:
If I have an application , and I wish to make sure every page has my
company logo, and a link to the logout page.
Now, I could always check for this in every one of my tests, but that's
a lot of work.
The error checker effectively does it for you. You create a Proc object
( sample coming soon ) and add this to the ie object.
So to do my 2 checks above I would write 2 proc objects:
logo_checker = Proc.new { |ie| raise LogoException if !ie.image(:src,
/logo.gif/).exists? }
logout_link_checker = Proc.new { |ie| raise LogoutLinkException if
!ie.link(:text , "Logout").exists }
we now add these to the ie controller
ie.add_chekcer( logo_checker )
ie.add_chekcer( logout_link_checker )
now, when ever a page reloads ( or a new page is loaded ) watir will
run these checkers against the page.
But wait I hear you scream! My logoutn page doesn't have a link to
itself! Wont I always get an exception?
You need to disable the checker:
ie.disable_checker ( logout_link_checker )
and it will be, well, disabled. Enable it again using ie.add_checker(
logout_link_checker )
Coming soon, this will be used to automatically check for several things
- 404 errors etc, and missing gifs
So ie.goto('http://www.thisisnotarealwebsite.com') would raise a
NavigationException
And any page that contains a missing image would raise some other sort
of exception
There is a unit test for this called errorchecker_test
Hope this helps, and if any problems, you know where we are!

invoke is a method in Win32OLE
it allows you to call an ole method that has the same name as a ruby
method

Hello,
Just a little question about Watir.
When I look the code, I can't find where the invoke methoid comes from.
This one is called to access zattibute of objects grabbed from IE.
Until what extent can we use the DOM model to access objects... Does
every request is mapped through the Win32OLE call.
Someone can help me to figure this out ???
Thanks

Message-ID: <2197.67.172.74.190.1108579397.squirrel@castor.atomicobject.com>
Hi,
Those of you who attended AWTA6 might remember my presentation on a simple
domain-language system testing framework built on top of Watir. Brett
suggested that the lower-level library be put directly into Watir's
repository as an extension, with the idea that others may want to build
layers on top of Watir and that they should be a part of the project
itself.
We have now prepared the bottom half of this library for release and we
are calling it Watir::Simple (watir_simple.rb), taking advantage of the
new module name for Watir. What I want to know from developers on this
list is: where in the repository should this stuff go? Next to watir.rb?
In an extensions/ directory? As soon as this is decided, I'll commit the
file to the Watir repository.
We are also pleased to announce on this list that the upper-level library,
which we are calling Systir (System Testing in Ruby) has been released
along with the demo that I showed at AWTA this year. It's available at
http://rubyforge.org/projects/systir
This project is a standalone system testing project that is not
necessarily tied to Watir. However it's development was certainly driven
by Watir so we hope to see this community using or contributing to Systir
soon! The demo I showed at the conference is in the examples/mondo_pizza
directory in the Systir package.
Happy testing!

Think so, I tried several variations, including setting the WinClicker
and IE objects to nil and calling GC.start, but nothing worked.
Is there any thoughts towards refactoring the code to allow this, or
is it not in scope for Watir?

Hi Karlin
There is a watir subdir - put it in there, this way it will end up
installed in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir
So a user would then do require 'watir/simple'
Thanks for your contribution - I hear great things about it.

Looks like there is a bit of a bug if you run the mondo_pizza from

Change the second line of
\example\mondo_pizza\run.rb
To
system "start ruby servlet.rb "

I'm personally not a big fan of capture/replay testing. I think it is a bad
testing practice. Others may disagree, but I think it can create farcical
"tests" that are unmaintainable at worst, and a lot of headaches to maintain at
best. Some folks have said good things about Marathon, so maybe there is a way
to do it well.

I aggree. It might have a use in a first run to

I'm of two minds. On the one hand, the potential for abuse is huge.
I have nightmares of scads of newbies descending on this mail list
with "I recorded 500 clicks and my script doesn't work" questions.
On the other hand, just today Chris Hedges and I were wishing we had
some way to export IRB interactions to a runnable script. That is, we
find a command that works using IRB, we have to copy/paste into a file
in order to preserve that line. That's pretty clunky.

I had started writing one, my view is that its often easy to figure out

wouldn't use it for anything real.

I have been using commercial GUI test tools for 10 years. I don't recall
ever recording a script and using it as is. Still, having a recording
capability is a *huge* time savings in terms of recognizing which objects
we're working on--which itself includes which object attribute(s) uniquely
identify that object--and which method calls are appropriate for the action
that we want to take. Even if we had something that spits out descriptions
of browser objects, actually recording would be faster.

This has been a common request in our class.
This reminds me of an old suggestion, which i'd never gotten to trying out.
It looked like greek to me when i first got it. Now it looks trivial. Oh,
what a year of Ruby programming will do for you!

I'd like to see us spiff up IRB to work better with Watir. Maybe with out
own .irbrc file.

My general answer is that if someone wants to create a new feature for
Watir, we'll take it. Provided the code isn't crap and does have unit
tests. Creating unit tests for a capture replay tool may be tough, however.
Also, we may put it in a sub-module (like Watir::Simple), to make it clear
that it is a separate thing.
Is anyone interested in writing such a thing? I have mixed feelings about
recorders myself, but if someone wants to do it.... well who am i to tell
them no.
Personally, i'd like to see a Spy tool first. Doing that right is probably
a first step to building a solid recorder anyhow.

Some web servers, web objects is the one that caused me lots of
problems, and also stuts I believe, can dynamically give a control a
name. webobjects uses a drag and drop type ide. A developer can override
this behaviour
So the first time you get a text bbox with a name of abcd1234
The next time you get something like
Abcd4456
This makes a recorder completely useless, and its also real difficult to
write a regular script too.
This is what led me to using the :beforeText :afterText things.
Now, I have a recorder sort of written. However its real difficult to
capture the mouse click. My recorder doesn't use ie as much as the one
Chris mentions. In fact I couldn't get this particular one to work ;-( (
shame, I was going to rip the code off!)
My recorder captures the windows message queue and intercepts mouse
clicks and keyboard events. I then ask IE to tell me if there is an
object where the mouse was clicked, and then find out what sore of
object etc.
. The downside is I cant get this working in ruby, but a vb dll will do
it. Im basing my code of this:

If you want to do something like the following, you can have it
tomorrow:
Open IE,
Navigate to the site
Start a ruby script in a dos window - set the 2 windows side by side, so
you can see both
Mouse over an object in IE
Use alt-tab to set focus to the ruby prompt
Press space.
Object details are displayed.

I like this approach. I'd rather see it as an add-on to Watir than be
incorporated in Watir itself. The people who want to use it can use it, and
others who just want to do scripts by hand don't need to worry about it.

I agree, I think a far more useful tool would be one that would allow you to
point at an object and tell you how to reference it the most efficient way
in Watir. I have been through at website with lots of JavaScript, frames
and such. I had to figure out what the code was doing before I new how to
reference the object.

First would be to tell you how it *could* be referenced. To know the most
*efficient* way takes judgment and analysis. I don't know how this could be
reliably automated.
The problem with recorders is that they guess on this part. They have to.

Thanks for the reference article. I'm definitely going to have to read
through it again a time or two.
Do you (or anyone else) have any experience pointing the browser to a proxy
that you create to capture traffic? I don't, but I'm guessing someone has,
and I wondered about the pros and cons to that.

Proxies have problems. First is you have to set it up when you need it, the
second is that it needs to understand all the protocols that websites use.
I do a lot of SSL site testing and having a proxy would mean that it would
have to do SSL as well, not many do. So for SSL based sites proxy recording
would be useless.

Thanks for the reference article. I'm definitely going to have to read
through it again a time or two.
Do you (or anyone else) have any experience pointing the browser to a proxy
that you create to capture traffic? I don't, but I'm guessing someone has,
and I wondered about the pros and cons to that.

For an ssl site, I embedded IE in a vb appliaction (actually in excel),
and recorded the urls in the beforeNavigate event. If you want this
code, I can probably send it on.
Using this I was able to record scripts for later playback in a load
testing tool I wrote.
If you use grinder, you can supposedly create an ssl proxy - the ssl
connection lives between browser and grinder, so grinder can record, and
then another ssl connecion exists between proxy and grinder. That's the
theory anyway, it was another thing I never got to work. Hence the
embedded browser.

Subject: [ANN] FXIrb 0.14 - a Win32 GUI wrapper around IRB
To: ruby-talk ML
- What?
FXIrb is a simple FXText wrapper around IRB, giving it useful features
like a decent GUI font and cut/paste capability. The current version
is being developed under Windows; I'll look at crossplatform operation
in a later release
- Why?
IRB in the standard Windows terminal is quite painful to use. (The
linux terminal is a lot more capable, which is why I'm concentrating
my development efforts on Windows right now). Thanks to Marco Fraillis
for the initial Windows port, and to Gilles Filippini for starting the
project.
- Where?
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=501
- Now what?
This is a rather alpha release; I'd mostly like people to bang on it
and see what functionality they feel is missing. My current top
priority is multiline editing, but I'm open to feature requests,
suggestions and (particularly!) contributions. If the next version
looks good, I'm going to work with Curt and Laurent and make a proper
FreeRIDE plugin out of it.

is this on windows XP ?
I know this code used to work, on Win2000 as I used to use it. However
on XP, the buttons do something different, there is no undeline on the
Yes to indicate a shortcut, until the alt key is pressed.
Is it possible to try and click the first button? ( you may have to
write a new method to do that)

Good afternoon,
I tried to go through the winClicker code and found a clearSecurityBox()
function. It didn't work for me when I need to access a SSL Site section
and when this window appears. So I went through the user32.dll calls to
find the window and find the child handles available (buttons). I found
the button called "&Yes" or "&Oui" in French. When I send him directly
the BM_CLICK message, it returns 1 (so it should be ok) but the window
is not closing and stands until I click on Yes to accept the
certificate.
Isn't it a IE security issue ??? It should be normal to avoid automated
programs to go through security issues. Do you have an idea about this
???
Thanks

Hi guys - I know that this is old news but unfortunately I am only able to
come back to this occasionally and can't give it the time I want to.
I have been able to find out that the window.showModalDialog() creates an
object within the Internet Explorer Application of type:
TridentDlgFrame
It seems to be in a container within the "Window" object.
I have searched the web but only found one reference to it:
http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthread.php?t=184328
Unfortunately this is someone in a similar situation with some VB and no
solution.
I dropped him an e-mail so will let you know if I get a reply.
Other than that, I have also determined that (in theory) you can access
properties of the dialog through IHTMLDialog in mshtml.dll
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/mshtml/r
eference/ifaces/dialog/dialog.asp
I sense that I am getting closer - I just wish I had more time!
Any pointers/suggestions as to how to attempt to access it would be
appreciated.
I won't have a chance to investigate further for another week or two.
If I don't solve it - at least this info is in the archives to perhaps help
someone else in the future.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Links object
Message-ID: <003801c51886$57239080$6400a8c0@NewDell>
Ive added a Links object and a corresponding links method to watir. This
will give access to each link on the page using each
Ie.links.each do|l|
puts l.innerText
End
Currently it returns the raw internet explorer link, hence the
.innerText method
What should this return? Leave it as it is? Or return a watir link
object, so that you could do
Ie.links.each do|l|
puts l.to_s
End
Or
Ie.links.each do|l|
l.click() if l.enabled?
End
Which may produce some more meaningful stuff?
On a related note, is anyone currently using link.to_s ? It looks like
it may need some improvemnt

I have version 1.0.4. Do I need to pull down a patch
to use the span method?
What I currently have gives me an undefined method
"span"

No, just go here: http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/watir/?cvsroot=wtr
and click the "Download tarball" link near the bottom of the page. Unzip it and
install Watir like you did with previous releases. This is the way to get the
latest and greatest from CVS. There is more info on this in the User Guide.

We load forms into frames .. we mave a "MainBody"

I see EditTimeCardF at the very top in what I would
call a Title.
If I view all objects I see:

I want to verify that the title of the from loaded is
EditTimeCardF. If I try to ShowForms, 0 are found.
Titles doesn't seem to found either.
Any thought?

Its been almost a month since the last release. Is there anything urgent
to go in?
What should I do with the links object? I personally favour returning a
watir link object in the each loop. Any suggestions?

I looked at the web site for this. I don't have the ability to run
asp.net so I cant try the downloads. Can you post some html of what a
report looks like?

We use active reports in our app. I'm not sure what
methods, if any, I might try to verify the report
displayed by grbbing a title.
Thanks

As a general rule, Watir methods should not directly expose COM objects.
Think of Watir as a layered abstraction on top of COM. (There are few
exceptions that intentionally allow users to poke through this abstraction
-- these should be considered advanced/debugging methods.

I may be out of luck with this. Active Reports loads
a viewer in the frame which then displays their
proprietary .rdf file, similar to a pdf file, so no
HTML is generated.

Do you have a nested frame? From an earlier post, you have
"..If I view all objects I see: src=forms/EditTimeCardF.asp"
Which looks like a frame, so maybe try this:
ie.frame('MainBody').show_frames
And then use
ie.frame('MainBody').frame('xxx').showAllObjects
Where xxx is the name that you get from show_frames above
My earlier post of $ie.frame("MainBody").ie.document.title gives a nil
for document, which I think means a frameset.
Or can you post some html?

It looks like I grabbed to much source before and the
e-mail was rejected. Here is a smaller section.
This is the source generated from the
EditTimeCardF.asp. This is loaded into the MainBody
frame.
