Message-ID: <UTILITY4dSa21ePSygq000324ce@Utility4.orcsweb.com>

Hello,

 

I'm new here, so forgive my ignorance. I recently discovered Watir for
myself and have done a poorman's integration with NUnit
(http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntegratingRubyAndWatirWithNUnit.aspx) but am
curious if there's a way to get NUnit "Test Suite" XML so that I might roll
Watir Use Case Tests into my existing NUnit Reporting infrastructure.

I'm looking at this now - haven't tried it just yet. The only question I
have, which I assume will be answered when I try it, is what generates
the output that is parsed by the Regex:

@"(?<tests>\d+) tests, (?<assertions>\d+) assertions, (?<failures>\d+)
failures, (?<errors>\d+) errors" 

The Ruby code in the appears to only write "Test Passed" or "Test
Failed!" to the standard output.

Use a regular expression:
ie.frame(:name, "portfolioTreeContent").frame(:name, /^treeframe/).html

Welcome Rob!  I hope you have have the inclination to keep an eye on
what's happening with WATIR, things move fast around here sometimes.

Interestingly, we've had a number of discussions of appropriate
logging mechanisms for WATIR, but have not gone very far down that
path.  Any suggestions you have would be welcome in many quarters of
the Watir world, I'm sure.

I know Fort Lewis changed their pages since this example was written,
but I ran this example just now  and the javascript part worked fine. 
Did you see the yellow floating javascript menus come up, and the
elements in those menus get flashed and clicked?   That's the part
you're interested in.

The latest dist of Watir that I installed prints out

	X tests, X assertions, X failures, X errors
	
every time. It's Watir that does the "rolledup" printing, not the
descriptive PUTS calls. Those are just to be pretty and are included in the
middle of the standard out that Watir writes.

This appears to be the output structure of Ruby's Unit::Test framework.
I guess that means that you could run any Ruby unit tests from Nunit -
cool!

Ah, so that means when I'm using this technique with Watir I need to:

require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'test/unit' #needed!

class Whatever < Test::Unit::TestCase #needed!
 #def my Watir stuff here
end

Right?

Using Builder for XML logging seems to work well. I did a proof of concept
the other day and it did the job nicely. Much better than the example I did
using REXML.

Thanks for your suggestion, Bret.  I did try it and got this:

 

irb(main):050:0> ie.frame(:name, "portfolioTreeContent").frame(:name,
/^treeframe/).html

Watir::Exception::UnknownFrameException: Unable to locate a frame with name

        from (irb):50

When I use the "treeframe + dynamic number", it works just fine, but I need
the wildcard version (sigh!):

Scott, 

in your earlier post you said that :value wasnt working correctly for checkboxes
In the case you supplied ( checkboxes) are you aware that 

ie.checkbox(:name, 'check1' ,'123' ).click

where 123 is the value of the checkbox can be used.

The original intent for :value was only for buttons.

is there some reason you need :value for check boxes? (maybe you dont have a name attribute in your html?) 

I can easily fix the bug ( as you've provided the fix already!) but is it something that really needs fixing?

Most Watir users use the Test::Unit testing framework. I would be surprised 
if there wasn't already an XML plugin to that. Isn't this what Alexey's 
Test-Reporter does?

you can try something like this, so that only test_main gets run and
you have complete control of the order and whatever arguments you want
to pass in, if any:

def test_main
    case1(arg1...)
    case2(arg1...
end


def case1(arg1...)
...
...
end

Yes, i see.

This is a bug in watir. We don't support regexps with frames, but we should.

Hi there,

I'm hoping to set up a test management system, including management of
test plans, test cases, test execution etc with the test cases being
either automated using Watir (or an internally-developed tool) or else
manual.  
Has anyone out there successfully combined Watir with any other products
to get something like this working or have you any advice on how best to
approach it?

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,
Margaret

Hi Margaret,

I am using WATIR for one of our project. We are
maintaining manual test cases in Excel and Access
database. We have integrated these with WATIR with the
help of WIN32OLE automation. We have written some
extensions which access these test cases and test
plans.

Hi all,

I am having difficulties in finding out how to compare
the xml files that are created by the watir scripts. 
Is there any documentation for that?
My scripts are generating the xml files.  Which i want
it to be checked weather the xml files that are
generated are proper or not?  Is there any way for
that?

Thanks

You can do the same thing in perl.  
All I'm doing is using Ruby to output HTML to a file.
In other words, if you know how to open and write to a file you can do
the same thing.

Of course, for additional functionality you will also need some
javascript/CSS or something similar

Thanks, Shao. It didn't work either.

 

However, I was just informed by Jonathan that:

 

"That is a bug that Bret identified in Watir. Frames are not found 

using regexps like other objects. I hope that will be fixed in the next
release."

 

I am wondering if there is a way I can do this:

 

 1) somehow save the treeframe value from this command (in this case 

 treeframe1120266500902), so I can use it later in the click command:

 

ie.frame(:name, "portfolioTreeContent").show_frames

there are 2 frames

frame  index: 0 name: sidebar_header 

frame  index: 1 name: treeframe1120266500902

 

ie.frame(:name,
"portfolioTreeContent").frame(:name,"treeframe1120266500902").image(:src,
/img-plus-cont-0.gif/).click

Hi Bret,
 
 
Per your response:
 
"Yes, i see.
This is a bug in watir. We don't support regexps with frames, but we
should."
 

 

Would you mind telling me if this feature will be in the next release?
And when would that be? :-)
 
We have a lot of frames that will need regexps to get to the information.
 
Thanks.

All,

Forgive me if I am asking an obvious question, I have been using Watir for
a short time, but have been enjoying it.  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.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Next release ( 1.4)
Message-ID: <003f01c581d8$1dab6ce0$6400a8c0@NewDell>

Some one today asked about the next release, which was timely as Ive
been writing this email for a few days.

Im working on getting the next release out soon - maybe next week. 
The following bugs have been fixed:
   table using id and reg exp is not found
   checkboxes have extra events 
   wrong objects are sometimes found
   wait for page load on new windows
   flash for objects in table cells
   checkbox#value exception (may have been done in refactoring - need to
verify)

And the following new features
   flash for forms
   iterator objects now have a show method, eg ie.buttons.show
   can now specify a default attribute, eg
          ie.default_attribute = :id
          ie.text_field( 'abc1').set('Testing')
      there is also a default for particular element types, 
          ie.set_default_attribute_for_element( :button , :id)
          ie.button( 'b1').click
   tablecell#colspan  - returns the number of columns the cell spans. Is
this method named correctly?

And some other possible bug fixes/new features if time permits.
    Fix for using :value
    improve javascript popups handling ( ihave a few ideas, details in a
separate email if I get to it)
    find frame using :name and reg exp
    frames iterator
    show_windows
    .style to be deprecated replaced with something like .dhtml_class (
suggestions for method name please)

Now, one of the refactorings that has taken pace has the potential to
break some code. I doubt it will happen to many people. If you are using
code like the following in your scripts, please can you let me know, so
we can try to accommodate you.

   Class ObjectActions
        def my_own_special_mrthod
            # some code 
        end
   end

Im sure not many, if anyone is doing this, but please let me know if you
are.


Are there any other things that people need urgently, or any bugs Im
missing?

Thanks

Paul

what you meant:

		puts "- entering text: #{ text_field.display } = #{

I looked at tracker at http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtr/ and I did not find
this bug (example is for 'id', but I reproduced it also for 'name'):

HTML:

<html>
	<body>
		<a href="" id="link_id" name="link_name">link 1</a>
		<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox_id" name="checkbox_name"
/>
	</body>
</html>

IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.checkboxes.each { | item | puts item.id }

OUTPUT:

link_id

-----

It works ok if:

HTML:

<html>
	<body>
		<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox_id" name="checkbox_name"
/>
		<a href="" id="link_id" name="link_name">link 1</a>

I think there are problems with both the interface and the implementation 
of this. I've worked some on fixing these, but have more work to do.

I suggest removing this from the release so that we don't commit ourselves 
to an interface we don't plan to support.

I renamed an internal class. Anyone using watir needs to understand that 
some interfaces are supported and others are internal to the tool, aren't 
intended for public consumption, and are subject to change.

The class was renamed to Elements -- if you happen to have been referencing 
this class all you have to do is use the new name.

Is there anyway to help make this clearer to using watir? I believe 
Eclipse actually goes to packaging pains to put certain classes that are 
internal in packages called, "internal", so it's hard for a user not to 
know they're working against interfaces that could change out from under 
them.

This is a good idea. But i don't know if we're going to have this in place 
for 1.4.

My understanding is that the only published/supported class is Watir::IE. 
Are there any others?

Hi,

It will be very beneficial if Watir can support the
Javascript menus similar to the one in
http://www.cbc.ca, where links are declared in a
Javascript file that is not loaded in the DOM

Hi,

I tried this again. As soon as the webpage loads, I
get this exception on my console. I don't see any

Odd.  It works for me.  Are you in fact at the fortlewis.edu site?  If
you do a view source, does the page contain a widget whose text is "  
   Prospective Students"?  Mine does.

My view is that classes and methods that have comments like this

     # This is not a class that users would normally access.

should be read as indicating that they are not exposing published 
interfaces. The Elements / ObjectActions class has this comment.

Hi Paul,

I realized what you are mentioning when I looked at
the source, but I thought it odd to restrict the
access to buttons only.

In my case, no I don't have anything but the value. 

Since almost any attribute of an HTML element is
optional, this speaks to supporting the set of
attributes available because one never knows exactly
what to expect in a web page.

Thus if an HTML element supports a particular
attribute (value, name, id, class, etc), the tool
should support utilizing that attribute to access the
element.

Thanks for the reply!

Scott

This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below.

While evaluating Watir I have written a test class using Watir that works 
fine when run stand alone with parameters
hardcoded. I then tried to write a file that would call the test class and 
run it, however when I do this all the Asserts
fail and I also get an initialisation error message. Despite this the 
actual script runs fine. It drives my web app
and completes the task. I'm new to Ruby so I'm probably missing something 
simple. Code at the bottom.

Here are the errors I get.
1) The initialisation error message

Thanks, Atilla for your suggestion.

It turns out there is a simpler way to get what I need and it works just
great ( for me: regular expression is worth learning :-))

Maybe this would not need to be fixed for the testers who also develop
the html for project web sites, but some of us are not developers.

Scott, 

in your earlier post you said that :value wasnt working correctly for
checkboxes
In the case you supplied ( checkboxes) are you aware that 

ie.checkbox(:name, 'check1' ,'123' ).click

where 123 is the value of the checkbox can be used.

The original intent for :value was only for buttons.

is there some reason you need :value for check boxes? (maybe you dont
have a name attribute in your html?) 

I can easily fix the bug ( as you've provided the fix already!) but is
it something that really needs fixing?

Message-ID: <BAY101-F3963A5F69387DB64380344B7D80@phx.gbl>

In my script I am calling the IE.captureEvents followed by clicking a  link 
that opens a new window.
I then set another variable to IE.newWindow... x=IE.newWindow().
but when I try to call a method for x, say x.close(). I get an error stating 
method could not be found in Nil:nil. I ran the newWindow_test unit test and 
have the same problem. Any idea of how I can get this to work?

I got it working . Just to be sure this is not a code error but a config 
problem, here's what i did:

                @ts.ui.capture_events
                @ts.ui.button(:value, 'Get Snapshot').click
                subWin = @ts.ui.newWindow
                assert(subWin.contains_text('Sessions found: 50'))

I think that you mistyped '.capture_events' for 'captureEvents'.

Hi,

After defining the constant in the properties file as

FOO = :apple

how do we reference FOO back in the script that
intends to use this constant? Especially if this
constant is to be joined with a string, is there some
special syntax involved?

Regards

No no, definately a config issue, the code I used is in the unit test 
newWindow_test.rb, so it definately wasn't code. The reason for typing 
incorrect method names was typing from memory

Message-ID: <51A0D9881DD5F1498CA1AAC9D30AFD2C165D47@corhouexs08m.corp.epec.com>

Hello, 

 

Were using the IE Tabstrip.htc control in our web application.

 

It's very weird, I've been able to accomplish everything I've wanted
with watir up to accessing this control through a frame.

 

Testing our pages outside the frame I'm able to execute javascript to
select tabs on the tabstrip with code like below.

 

$ie.goto("javascript:document.Form1.__ucMasterEntityMaintHeader_tabDefau
ltTabs_State__.value='3';__doPostBack('ucMasterEntityMaintHeader$tabDefa
ultTabs','3')")

 

However when the page is contained in the frame the ie.goto just times
out. Code I'm using for frames is below.

 

$ie.frame(:index,1).goto("javascript:document.Form1.__ucMasterEntityMain
tHeader_tabDefaultTabs_State__.value='2';__doPostBack('ucMasterEntityMai
ntHeader$tabDefaultTabs','2')")

 

Here's the html from the table contatining the tabstrip.

How can this be done?  

 

And is there any advice for testing ie apps that utilize the
tabstrip.htc behaviour?

 

Thanks,

correct me if I'm wrong, but generally if you have a "." in your reg
exp it will match anything. So if you just put /icon_export.gif/ it
*might* work if that is the only existing object.  For example if you
had two images, and they appear on your page in this order

icon_export_toSomewhere.gif
icon_export.gif

it will match the first one because the "." in /icon_export.gif/ means
"anything".
If you want to get to the 2nd image you should escape the dot:

/icon_export\.gif/ 

I had a similar case where I had to escape the "." because of similar
image names.  Hope it works

Thank you Shao.  Alas, your good suggestion didn't work either.

irb(main):037:0> ie.frame("main").frame("header").image(:src,
/icon_export\.gif/).click

Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: Unable to locate object, using src
and

 (?-mix:icon_export\.gif)

        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1979:in
`object_exist_check'

        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2094:in `click'

        from (irb):37

        from :0

 

I am suspecting that maybe there is another frame below "header" that this
icon_export.gif lives.

When I do this command: ie.frame("main").frame("header").getHTML 

I don't see the icon_export.gif in the result; however, it shows up when I
do View Source Code for that page.

I am not sure how to go about finding if there is another frame that this
icon belongs to.

Any suggestion is appreciated.  Thanks.

I think I've encountered this before, and had to specify the full
pathname for :src, for instance "C:\web\images\icon_export.gif", or
whatever the real source is.  Could you address the image by means
other than :src?

I finally talked to the Engineer that wrote the code, and she suggested this
command that did the job (whew!):

irb(main):048:0> ie.frame("main").frame("body").frame("tabs").image(:src,
/icon_customize.gif/).click

 

What I don't understand is why this didn't show up when I did the
show_frames command for "body"?

irb(main):045:0> ie.frame("main").frame("body").show_frames

there are 0 frames

=> 0..-1

 

Hmm!  How would have I found out about the existence of the "tabs" frame?

	.rb file
Message-ID: <MMECJJEOOBCKGBABJLDBMEPCCLAA.ramanjaneya.reddy@applabs.com>

Hi:

We just started using Watir tool to automate one of WebApplications. While
we start using Watir too, we got few doubts which are described below. Would
be great help for us if you can clarify our doubts mentioned below.

1. In Watir API reference guide, what is the Top layer class(I mean
Watir::FactoryMethods or Watir.IE or Watir:Simple or anyother)?

2. Please see the below code:

    ========================================
    require 'watir'
    include Watir

    a = Watir::IE.new
    a.goto("http://172.16.6.74/sample/index.php")

    a.text_field(:name,  "user_name").set("admin")
    a.text_field(:name,  "user_password").set("admin")
    ========================================

    (a). In the above code, after last line of code, if I want use the
"assert_text_in_field()"  which is in module "Watir::Simple", what should I
need to do?

          What I did for the above is:(but not succeeded)
          Included the two lines of following code at the start:

        ========================================
        require 'watir'
        include Watir

        require 'Watir_simple.rb'
        include Simple


        a = Watir::IE.new
        a.goto("http://172.16.6.74/sample/index.php")

        a.text_field(:name,  "user_name").set("admin")
        a.text_field(:name,  "user_password").set("admin")

        a.assert_text_in_filed("user_name", "Ramanjaneya")
        ===========================================

        But the above code is not working. It is throwing error message:
Undefined method assert_text_in_filed.

    (b). The above (a) doubt is specific. In general speaking if we want to
use different methods of different modules how we need to proceed?

3. Watir guide thats provided in website is not that much helpful in
providing examples. Would be great if you can provide some real time
examples' code so that
    we can walk through the code to understand how to use the watir tool. or
atleast
    would be great help for atleast if you can tell me where i can find.

Thanks a lot in advance for your valuable time in helping us out.

Thanks & Regards,
Ramanjaneya Reddy.

Message-ID: <UTILITY4KuzkWZ7fIZH000468d6@Utility4.orcsweb.com>

This initially confused me as well. I believe Ram's root question is:

 

*	How can I easily use both Watir and Watir_simple methods side by
side.

 

Because Watir::Simple expects that you get/initialized the IE handle from
it, you can't use its methods without initializing/cheating by init'ing its
browser instance.

 

This seems to be a common question to me.folks look in the API doc, and
notice how easy the Simple methods are. They start with a non-simple example
and thing the API docs are a library of "statics" they can call anytime.
Then they start calling Simple methods.

 

Why not add a method to Simple to "set" its browser instance or come up with
some way these APIs can be more interchangeable?

My view is that classes and methods that have comments like this

     # This is not a class that users would normally access.

should be read as indicating that they are not exposing published 
interfaces. The Elements / ObjectActions class has this comment.

Similar bug:

HTML:

<html>
	<body>
		<a href="" id="link_id" name="link_name">link 1</a>
		<input type="radio" id="radio_id" name="radio_name" />
	</body>
</html>

IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.radios.each { | item | puts item.id }

OUTPUT:

link_id

and it works ok if html is:

<html>
	<body>
		<input type="radio" id="radio_id" name="radio_name" />
		<a href="" id="link_id" name="link_name">link 1</a>
	</body>
</html>


-----Original Message-----

I looked at tracker at http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtr/ and I did not
find this bug (example is for 'id', but I reproduced it also for
'name'):

HTML:

<html>
	<body>
		<a href="" id="link_id" name="link_name">link 1</a>
		<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox_id"
name="checkbox_name" />
	</body>
</html>

IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.checkboxes.each { | item | puts item.id }

OUTPUT:

link_id

That would indicate that it is in the top document, not a frame.

I only have time for a quick glance through, but..
 
1. are you using the begin assert rescue in login correctly? I think you
may need to do something differnet 
2. i dont think test::unit uses the initialize method - setup gets
called before each test, but for a 'global' kind of setup, Ive always
used global vars
 
Hope that helps

This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below.


While evaluating Watir I have written a test class using Watir that
works fine when run stand alone with parameters 
hardcoded. I then tried to write a file that would call the test class
and run it, however when I do this all the Asserts 
fail and I also get an initialisation error message. Despite this the
actual script runs fine. It drives my web app 
and completes the task. I'm new to Ruby so I'm probably missing
something simple. Code at the bottom. 

Here are the errors I get.

I think there are problems with both the interface and the
implementation 
of this. I've worked some on fixing these, but have more work to do.

I suggest removing this from the release so that we don't commit
ourselves 
to an interface we don't plan to support.

What I mean here is that I think it wrong for us to hide some of the
classes, as one of rubys great powers is the ability to extend classes.
I would rather not restrict people from doing it, but at the same time I
also don't want to make people rewrite their code everytime we do a
release, so a warning like this at least makes people aware that the
class may change.

My view is that classes and methods that have comments like this

     # This is not a class that users would normally access.

should be read as indicating that they are not exposing published 
interfaces. The Elements / ObjectActions class has this comment.

I think that makes sense. I think we also really need to add some unit
tests and also recreate the samples using watir::simple. I doubt that
will happen for the next release though

This initially confused me as well. I believe Ram's root question is:

 

*	How can I easily use both Watir and Watir_simple methods side by
side. 

 

Because Watir::Simple expects that you get/initialized the IE handle
from it, you can't use its methods without initializing/cheating by
init'ing its browser instance.

 

This seems to be a common question to me.folks look in the API doc, and
notice how easy the Simple methods are. They start with a non-simple
example and thing the API docs are a library of "statics" they can call
anytime. Then they start calling Simple methods.

 

Why not add a method to Simple to "set" its browser instance or come up
with some way these APIs can be more interchangeable?

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to use methods of different modules in a
single.rb file

 

Hi:

 

We just started using Watir tool to automate one of WebApplications.
While we start using Watir too, we got few doubts which are described
below. Would be great help for us if you can clarify our doubts
mentioned below.

 

1. In Watir API reference guide, what is the Top layer class(I mean
Watir::FactoryMethods or Watir.IE or Watir:Simple or anyother)?

 

2. Please see the below code: 

 

    ========================================

    require 'watir'
    include Watir

 

    a = Watir::IE.new

    a.goto(" <http://172.16.6.74/sample/index.php>
http://172.16.6.74/sample/index.php")

    

    a.text_field(:name,  "user_name").set("admin")
    a.text_field(:name,  "user_password").set("admin")

    ========================================

 

    (a). In the above code, after last line of code, if I want use the
"assert_text_in_field()"  which is in module "Watir::Simple", what
should I need to do? 

 

          What I did for the above is:(but not succeeded)

          Included the two lines of following code at the start:

 

        ========================================

        require 'watir'
        include Watir

        

        require 'Watir_simple.rb'

        include Simple

 

 

        a = Watir::IE.new

        a.goto(" <http://172.16.6.74/sample/index.php>
http://172.16.6.74/sample/index.php")

    

        a.text_field(:name,  "user_name").set("admin")
        a.text_field(:name,  "user_password").set("admin")

 

        a.assert_text_in_filed("user_name", "Ramanjaneya")

        ===========================================

 

        But the above code is not working. It is throwing error message:
Undefined method assert_text_in_filed.              

 

    (b). The above (a) doubt is specific. In general speaking if we want
to use different methods of different modules how we need to proceed?


 

3. Watir guide thats provided in website is not that much helpful in
providing examples. Would be great if you can provide some real time
examples' code so that 

    we can walk through the code to understand how to use the watir
tool. or atleast 

    would be great help for atleast if you can tell me where i can find.

 

Thanks a lot in advance for your valuable time in helping us out.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ramanjaneya Reddy.

Yes. The way i'd do it would be to tag HEAD ("default_attribute_stuff"), 
then delete the methods and tests. At some future date, someone can easily 
find this code and continue working on it.

Just to be clear, my main issue with this is that many of our objects 
already have built in defaults (e.g. buttons are value, frames are names). 
I think the new interface should encapsulate this legacy behavior, rather 
than add yet another default mechanism on top of it.

Thus for a generic ie, ie.default_attributes would return {:button => 
:value, :frame => :name, ...} I'm also unsure whether the keys should be 
these index values or the classes themselves ({Button => :value, Frame => 
:name}), and that makes me wonder whether the defaulting should be done at 
the class level or at the IE level.

But any of these ideas requires some increased consistency in the existing 
code before they could be implemented.

Since the default mechanism is really just a convenience mechanism, i think 
that it is important that it actually be done cleanly, otherwise it just 
adds needsless confusion.

(I also think the method names are wrong, but that would be easy to fix.)

Bret

I don't know why when I use the goto to launch my application, it always

comes up not fully maximized.

However, when I do launch it from clicking on the IE icon on my desktop

and typing in the url, the window is fully maximized.  I am Puzzled??

Is there a way to maximize IE within a .rb script?  Thanks.

What do you mean by "can't i get this one work"? Nothing happens?

Try  ie.image(:name,"imgTest").flash to flash image.

What do you want to do?
Do you want to fire javascript event (fire_event(event) should help ) or is
this image a submit button?

If image is button this should list it:

ie.buttons.each { |i| puts "\n#{i.to_s}" }

and then acces it like it is a button (ie.button(:name,"imgTest").click).

This will list all images at page with properties ('\n' is there just to
separate images):

ie.images.each { |i| puts "\n#{i.to_s}" }

Message-ID: <42D3B37E.3020802@sulzer.de>

Dear all,

  I have to automatically monitor a "buggy" webapplication,
which requires an initial pop-up window authorisation to be
filled out.

My problem is that it works fine for a test application, but
for my buggy application the script passes the authorisation,
but the WindowHelper-Thread (a) never finishes. I tried to
add a timeout to the logon method, but it did not work.

Similar to the WindowLogonExample.rb in the unittestdir
I use two threads.

..
	a = Thread.new {
	   system('ruby LogonExtra.rb')
        }
        b = Thread.new {
	  goto_login_page()
	}

..	 
LogonExtra.rb looks like:
--
helper = WindowHelper.new
helper.logon('Cognos', 'xxx', 'xx')
--


Thank you for your help,
   -A

exists? does not work for frames.

In this case, you can just do:
   assert(ie.frame("main"))

Hmmm, not sure about that. And I don't actively use Watir these days,
unfortunately, so maybe the list will be able to help you with that.

In this select box, there are 2 items that have the word Sector in it:

 

1) GICS Sector

2) Sector

 

I am trying to select the item "Sector", but I keep getting "GICS Sector"
because it appears before "Sector".

I think \A should match the beginning of a string but this doesn't seem to
work.  Any ideas?

I'm writing this off the top of my head so the syntax might be a bit off...


options = select_list(:id, "availableColumnsSelectBox").getAllContents
index = options.index("Sector")
options.select(options[index])

That should work...although probably not the best way :)

there is a select_value method, although it is poorly documented. You
would use it like this:
 
html:
<select name=s><option value=v1>Option1</option><option
value=v2>Option2</option></select>
 
 
ruby
ie.select_list(:name, 's').select_value('v2')
 
We should add improvements to these docs to our todo list for this next
release

Armin,

Your approch is correct for this issue.  However u
have to just modify few stuffs right here.  Watir is
creating a new thread for the modular window, but the
old thread is not getting terminated.  Thats the
reason why ur finding these problems.  Now the work
around is that create a new thread in the beginning of
the process with a large timeout of say 15 to 20
seconds and then click on the object to get the
modular window.  So that by that time it would have
created a new thread which is already running in the
beginning and then as soon as it gets that modular
window the new thread performs the operation which is
required.  If in case if you find any difficulties in
doing that i think i'll write one script which does
that and send u.

Jan,

First use 
ie.show_images()
if that image is present and if there are two or more
images with the same name sometimes it doesnt works. 
So findout if there are more images with the same
name.  If not try to use the regular expressions.
ie.image(:name, /.*imgTest.*/).click
And if you have two or more images use the name as
well as the index to click on the image.

If you already have an IE window open, the new ones will be like it. If 
it's minimized, then so will they. If not, they won't.

I've also been intending to make this work:

   ie.select_list(:name, 's').option(:value, 'v2').select

The work for this is half-done.

I would appreciate hearing whether users think this interface would be 
desirable. (The old one would also be retained.)

If you send html also I could be more assured, but I think that the image
you are looking for is button, and it will appear if you try

$ie.buttons.each { |i| puts "\n#{i.src}" }

Thank Zeljko!  That worked.

However, I have two occurrences of AUSTRALIAN:

"GICS AUSTRALIAN" 

"AUSTRALIAN"

 

I want to get the second one, but the regular expression as it is brings
back the first one "GICS AUSTRALIAN".

Is there a way to only get "AUSTRALIAN"?

I will look up the regular expression documentation online too.

 

Thank you!

The image you are looking for (RBJ_DetailTab_Off.gif) is a button. This is
it's html:

<input type="image" name="btnSaveSession" id="btnSaveSession"
src="../../images/RBJ_DetailTab_Off.gif" alt="" border="0" /> 

---

This will display html of all buttons in your page: 

ie.buttons.each { |i| puts "\n#{i.html}" }

---

This will click your image/button

ie.button(:id, 'btnSaveSession').click

It's a bug that there is even a goto method for frames.

I would try referencing the frame inside your javascript. Something like this:

>$ie.goto("javascript:Frame1.document.Form1.__ucMasterEntityMaintHeader_tabDefaultTabs_State__.value='2';__doPostBack('ucMasterEntityMaintHeader$tabDefaultTabs','2')")

<http://www.regular-expressions.info/quickstart.html>      

 

http://samuelfullman.com/team/php/tools/regular_expression_tester_p2.php
<http://samuelfullman.com/team/php/tools/regular_expression_tester_p2.php>


 

(this is a great tool to test out your regular expression - it's a web site
so no need to download)

 

The right answer for what I need is:

Its certainly a more 'correct' interface than the one we have so in that
respect is desirable. I think, unless others have different views, that
duplicated functionality is less desireable than some of the bug
fixes/new features people have been requesting. The :value , :index and
:text ( I guess ) is probably also more intuitive and more like the rest
of the api.
Would there be othermethods apart from select? ( I cant think of any)

I've also been intending to make this work:

   ie.select_list(:name, 's').option(:value, 'v2').select

The work for this is half-done.

I would appreciate hearing whether users think this interface would be 
desirable. (The old one would also be retained.)

Subject: [Wtr-general] Checkbox#set
Message-ID: <012601c587fe$800325a0$6400a8c0@NewDell>

I normally read my test data from another file or spreadsheet.
So when I come to set a check box, I end up with code like this:

If test_data == true
    ie.checkbox(:index,1).set
Else
    ie.checkbox(:index,1).clear
End

IT seems that a better way to do this is to add a an optional parameter
to checkbox#set, thus:

Ie.checkbox(:index,1).set( test_data )

So if test_data is supplied that true/false is used, but if no paramter
is supplied it would just set the checkbox

The image you are looking for (RBJ_DetailTab_Off.gif) is a button. This is
it's html:

<input type="image" name="btnSaveSession" id="btnSaveSession"
src="../../images/RBJ_DetailTab_Off.gif" alt="" border="0" />

This will display html of all buttons in your page: 

ie.buttons.each { |i| puts "\n#{i.html}" }

This will click your image/button

ie.button(:id, 'btnSaveSession').click

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD34471077B240@iris.win.barra.com>

How can I clear a selection that was previously selected?

1) Selecting this item works fine

irb(main):012:0> ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableC

olumnsSelectBox").select("-Descriptive Data")

=> nil

 

2) But clearing it seems to not work

irb(main):013:0> ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableC

olumnsSelectBox").select("-Descriptive Data").clearSelection

NoMethodError: undefined method `clearSelection' for nil:NilClass

        from (irb):13

        from ?:0

 

3) This works too but it takes over 20 seconds since my select box has lots
of items

so it?s too long to use in a script

ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableColumnsSelectBox").clearSelection

 

That?s why I need to be able to clearSelection for a particular item rather
than for the entire select box

 

Any idea how to make #2 work?

Yes, I believe it could be a button. I've come across cases like that,
where the HTML is <input type=image....> but the only way for me to
access it is by button.
I *think* that it's identified as an image if, in the html, you
specifically have:

<img src="blah"...>

but I could be wrong..so, correct away :)

I start my script without any IE window open.

It always launches a brand new one and there is no other IE instance open.

I don't know why it always comes up minimized.

Several different things can work as a button/image

1. Imagine a picure of a button, button.gif - you can use a link  -
     <a href=http://whatever><img src=button.gif></a>

2. A picture of a button, button.gif, could just have an onclik event in
javascript - 
     <img src=button.gif
onClick=javascript:document.location='http://wherevever>

3. The submit button on a form can be replaced using the following
     <input type=img src=button.gif>

4. There is probably also css magic that can also do similar things, but
I don't know much about css


So unfortunately there is no single answer to the question. 

We should also add examples of each of these situations to the docs

this looks like a perfect situation for Bret new select_list scheme -
you could do this
 
ie.select_list(:name, 's').option(:value, 'v2').clear
 
So Bret, maybe we should add it soon ?

I tried /^Sector/ and it doesn't work either.

I thought my solution of using /[^GICS Sector]Sector/ will work since it
works when I tested it with this tool

http://samuelfullman.com/team/
<http://samuelfullman.com/team/php/tools/regular_expression_tester_p2.php>
php/tools/regular_expression_tester_p2.php 
This is a web based regular expression tester.

but in WATIR script and irb, it always selects "GICS Sector" which is what I
don't want.

I want it to select the plain item "Sector" which is unfortunately after the
"GICS Sector" item.

Is there a possible "bug" in the Select command using regexp?

OH, please do add that as soon as possible!  It would save me so much time.

I have a WATIR demo next Wednesday and trying hard to make it look good.

Having to wait for 20 seconds to clear my select box is not a good
"feature".

Thanks!

I vote for the suggestion below for intuitive and consistency in
implementing Select using Value:

 

The :value , :index and
:text ( I guess ) is probably also more intuitive and more like the rest
of the api.

I wish we have a "search" engine for all the great postings so I can look up
whether someone has posted a question on how to handle the series of pop-ups
that happen when you want to do a Windows File Download (Export a File).
Here are the series of windows that appear when I Export a file from my
application:

 

1) File Download window asking user to SAVE or OPEN (I want to be able to
click on SAVE here)

 

2a) Save window pops up for user to type in file name and SAVE

 

OR

2b) Save AS window pops up to ask user whether to REPLACE existing file name
or SAVE AS a new file name (I want to be able to click on REPLACE here)

 

3) Save AS small pop-up window to ask for confirmation to Replace YES/NO (I
want to click on YES here)

4) Download Complete pop-up window to ask user to OPEN, Open Folder, or
CLOSE dialog box (I want to click on Close here)

   

If there is something already written for this, I would appreciate you
letting me know where I can find the documentation on this.  Thanks!

Subject: [Wtr-general] Checkbox#set

I normally read my test data from another file or spreadsheet.
So when I come to set a check box, I end up with code like this:

If test_data == true
    ie.checkbox(:index,1).set
Else
    ie.checkbox(:index,1).clear
End

IT seems that a better way to do this is to add a an optional parameter
to checkbox#set, thus:

Ie.checkbox(:index,1).set( test_data )

So if test_data is supplied that true/false is used, but if no paramter
is supplied it would just set the checkbox

The image you are looking for (RBJ_DetailTab_Off.gif) is a button. This is
it's html:

<input type="image" name="btnSaveSession" id="btnSaveSession"
src="../../images/RBJ_DetailTab_Off.gif" alt="" border="0" /> 

---

This will display html of all buttons in your page: 

ie.buttons.each { |i| puts "\n#{i.html}" }

---

This will click your image/button

ie.button(:id, 'btnSaveSession').click

I think that AutoIT (installed with Watir) will do this.  
I have done this in a Perl script  using Perl's Win32::GuiTest module.
(BTW, having done "save as", you probably want to check that the file
actually exists where you told it to be saved.)  I launched the
Ruby/Watir script from the Perl script.
In the not-too-distant future, there should be a pure-Ruby
win32/guitest library available that will handle this sort of thing--
but it's not ready today.  (Hint:  read up on Ruby Threads.)

Tuyet,

I think the root problem is that there are two kinds of select elements -- 
multi-select and single select. We only have one class to support them, and 
therefore pretty much assume it is multi-select, since the methods you use 
with it also work for single select -- but sometimes they are less 
efficient. I'm not sure if the best solution isn't to create two different 
classes, but this would amount to even more rework then just adding option 
objects.

In the mean time, i suggest you work directly with the OLE object. Here are 
a couple things to try:

ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id, 
"availableColumnsSelectBox").getOLEObject.selectedIndex = -1
ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id, 
"availableColumnsSelectBox").getOLEObject.value = ""

If neither of these work, refer to this for more information regarding the 
OLE interface:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/mshtml/reference/ifaces/selectelement/selectelement.asp

Let us know what works for you.

Do you have any Windows Explorer windows minimized? -- these are the things

These only really make sense for multi-select lists:
   extend_select -- this would be the equivalent of a ctrl-click
   deselect (or clear)

I think the real problem here is that the clear_selection method ( or
whatever its called ) always checks to see if the page has reloaded.
This is so javascript onChange, onCLick events that cause a page reload
get executed correctly. ( think of a page with several select lists,
pick a country in the first, page reloads and populates the next with
state, etc )

In one of the previous controllers I had the same problem - the script
took ages to run cos of this continual checking. I added a optional
parameter to tell the controller to not bother with the wait if I knew
there was no javascript. So in this case we could have

Ie.select_list(;index,1).clear_selection( true )

Where there is a default that tells the method to wait, but it can also
not wait by setting the parameter to true.
This is pretty easy to add, and is much less work than implementing Bret
new select_list code.

Paul

Should we add a method ( or attr ) to select_list

.is_multiple?

These only really make sense for multi-select lists:
   extend_select -- this would be the equivalent of a ctrl-click
   deselect (or clear)

I normally read my test data from another file or spreadsheet. So when I
come to set a check box, I end up with code like this:

If test_data == true
    ie.checkbox(:index,1).set
Else
    ie.checkbox(:index,1).clear
End

IT seems that a better way to do this is to add a an optional parameter
to checkbox#set, thus:

Ie.checkbox(:index,1).set( test_data )

So if test_data is supplied that true/false is used, but if no paramter
is supplied it would just set the checkbox

-1 on adding a boolean value that indicates waits should be suppressed

1. There is no way that the person reading this code will be able to guess 
what the true means. So it would undermine the clarity of  our API.

2. The beauty of Watir has been that users don't have to decide whether to 
code in waits or not. So even if we changed it to 
clear_selection(:dont-wait), i would still be opposed.

3. I'm not convinced that this is really the source of Tuyet's problem. I 
only see one call to wait in the method. We call wait after almost every 
one of our commands. Tuyet says: "it takes over 20 seconds since my select 
box has lots of items." This makes me think that it is iterating through 
all the items that is causing the delay.

         # This method clears the selected items in the select box
         def clearSelection
             assert_exists
             highLight( :set)
             wait = false
             @o.each do |selectBoxItem|
                 if selectBoxItem.selected
                     selectBoxItem.selected = false
                     wait = true
                 end
             end
             @ieController.wait if wait
             highLight( :clear)
         end

Tuyet: how many items do you have in your list. We can use this information 
to see if we can reproduce your problem.

On the assumption that Tuyet is using a single-select, i suggest that 
clearSelection (and yes, this one hasn't been renamed yet to 
clear_selection) only iterate through the list with multi-selects. Or that 
we at least see if this would solve Tuyet's problem. This solution has the 
added benefit of not complicating our API.

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD34471077B248@iris.win.barra.com>

The select box I am using has several nodes.  The node I expanded to select
from has about 100 items underneath it.

I am using a single-select.  I believe as Bret mentioned that the reason it
took over 20 seconds to ClearSelection is because it iterates through all
the items.

 

The scary thing is if the user expands ALL the nodes in that select box, it
can total up to over 1000 items.

I am only working with 100 items and it took over 20 seconds, and I only
want to clear 1 item that was selected.

Imagine doing that for 1000 items!

 

By the way, both of your suggestions to clear the 1 selected item using OLE
work beautifully.

This is the command I used that works:

irb(main):012:0> ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableC

olumnsSelectBox").getOLEObject.selectedIndex = -1

=> -1

 

 irb(main):014:0> ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableC

olumnsSelectBox").getOLEObject.value = ""

=> ""

 

They work in irb, I haven't had the chance to try them in my ruby script
yet, but I suspect they will work fine too.

 

THANK YOU!

No dice.  I was incorrect in saying that IE came up "minimized", what I
meant is that it came up NOT fully maximized.

It is sort of three-quarters maximized in width, but not quite, so I always
have to manually maximize it.

 

I also tried closing down any instance of IE and in irb and did both of
these tests:

1) ie = Watir::IE.new

2) ie = Watir::IE.start(http://www.google.com <http://www.google.com/> )

 

In both cases, IE did not come up maximized.

However, when I launch IE manually from my desktop, it does come up
maximized.

I looked into the Help file and the Internet Options settings, but couldn't
find anything.

Bugger!

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD34471077B24A@iris.win.barra.com>

How do I find out if an item exists in a Select Box?

I looked at the unittests selectbox_test.rb and see that you can test for
the existence of the Select Box, 

but couldn?t find an example for testing for the existence of an ?item? in
the Select Box.

I tried this, but got an error:

 

irb(main):045:0> (ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").selectBox(:id,
"availableColumnsSelectBox").select_value(/Sector/).exists?)

NoMethodError: undefined method `exists?' for nil:NilClass

        from (irb):45

        from ?:0

irb(main):046:0> require 'unittests/testUnitAddons'

LoadError: No such file to load -- unittests/testUnitAddons

        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in

        from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in
`re

quire'

        from (irb):46

        from ?:0

 

 

Testing the existence of the Select Box works fine:

irb(main):043:0> (ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").selectBox(:id,
"availableColumnsSelectBox").exists?)

=> true

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050714141215.03156788@127.0.0.1>

I have an app with a date text field. After entering the text, the app does 
some date checking. For example, if you enter 1/1/75, it turns it into 
01/01/1975.

When i entered text using watir (text_field().set('/1/1/75)'), the date 
checking doesn't happen.
The fix is to trigger an onblur event after changing the text. I've just 
checked this fix in.

By rights, we should add a unit test for this as well. Any volunteers?

At the same time i fixed this related bug:

Autoit has commands to maximize a window.

We should add ie.maximize as an interface to this.

We simply need to get the window title from ie.ie and then pass it to 
Autoit's WinMaximize.

Any volunteers?

I don't know what the process it for submitting the code after I test it out

OK, I got it working.  Easier than I thought.

 

Attached is the WinMaximize.rb

 

To use it you need to:

 

1) copy the WinMaximize.rb to this path:

C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir

 

2) include at the top of the script:

require 'watir/WinMaximize'

 

3) add in the body of your code where you want the window to be maximized:

w = WinMaximize.new

w.maximize_window(ie.title)

 

It should work fine.  It worked for me!

First, I want to compliment the excellent work that has already been
done on Watir.  We have so far found it a joy to work with, and we're
pleased to finally have a compelling reason to bring Ruby into the
workplace.  But moving forward, we're interested in seeing two major
enhancements:

1. Be able to test in multiple browsers (which seems to point in the
direction of Selenium, but we don't want to have to rewrite our current
Watir tests). 

2. Be able to run the tests from a build file and export the results in
a format understood by CruiseControl.

How do y'all feel about these?  Is there consensus on these items?  Are
there others to be added?

Hi,

Yes, it worked for me as well but I have to register AutoItX3.dll first. So in case you are using this code, register it first using "Regsvr32". The dll is found inside the watir folder.

I've looked into this a bit.  I'm not a Perl expert, but I believe that
HTTP::Recorder takes the proxy approach.  That is, it positions itself
between the browser and the internet to capture the HTTP traffic.  But
the HTTP request is the consequence of a series of actions in the
browser.  For Watir, I believe we want to capture the actions
themselves.  This leads us to some kind of browser plug-in/toolbar that
will intercept the user's interactions with the DOM.

I think you missed the point. You can use HTTP::Recorder to "Record" actions 
that would be recoreded as Watir Scripts. This can take away alot of effort 
that would be put by the programmer in writing a script manually and all the 
actions that you would do would get Scripted/Recorded in Watir syntax. 

I believe this could very well be done. Common issues that we would face are 
that we won't be able to Script actions done on SSL and it isn't supportive 
of JavaScript, for now. Other than this, i don't see why we can't make it so 
it would record script in watir syntax as by default this module records in 
www::Mechanize script syntax and if you read its documentation it states 
that you can make it write into custom script as well. Since documentation 
was not clear enough and i am not much aware of Perl language other than 
writing simple scripts to derive IE using SAMIE, i wasn't really able to 
deduce how i could do all this. But there is a very good article on 
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/06/04/recorder.html about how to use it. But 
as i said, its not much clear as to how could i customize it to write custom 
scripts.

The "serialized" name values pairs that HTTP represent in a POST don't give
you any context to the TYPE of object that is being sent. You can't tell a
text-field from a listbox.

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD34471077B254@iris.win.barra.com>

I have to pepper some sleep statements in my script because the application
I am automating takes a variable amount of time to load a page.

I tried inserting some wait statements for a frame but can't seem to do it
for an object like an image.  I have to resort to sleep statements but some
time it takes longer and the script fails.  I can, of course, add a longer
sleep time, but I am trying to find a better way to handle this.

 

1)This is what I am doing now:

ie.frame("portfolioTreeContent").wait("treeframe")   

sleep 2

ie.frame(:name, "portfolioTreeContent").frame(:name, treeframe).image(:src,
/img-plus-cont-0.gif/).click

 

2)This is what I wish I can do (wait until the image has been loaded, then
click on it)

ie.frame("portfolioTreeContent").frame("treeframe").wait(/img-plus-cont-0.gi
f/)

ie.frame(:name, "portfolioTreeContent").frame(:name, treeframe).image(:src,
/img-plus-cont-0.gif/).click

hrm...how about putting the sleep statement in a loop and checking if
the image exists?  like:

while !ie.frame(....).image(....).exists?
    sleep(1)
end

ie.frame(...).image(...).click

For me, half the reason for using Watir is to verify client-side
scripting.  Like much of the industry these days, we're looking to make
our pages more dynamic.

Thanks. I checked this in as new method ie.maximize().

I also added ie.minimize and ie.restore.

If it seems to be ok, then don't worry.

This warning comes from code that needs better tests -- but often occurs 
without problem.

Hi!

I will be presenting WATIR to our Technical Development Director (Asia Pasific) by next week. I want to ask some templates if there are any regarding watir, ppt, that would help me in creating my own presentation. Thanks a lot! Of course, I want them to be overwhelmed in what WATIR could do and accomplish. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
 I have to add up the contents(numbers) of a column and test if the sum equates to a value in another cell.
Using to_i, to explicitly convert the contents of a cell to an  integer gives the following error:
undefined method `to_i' for #<Watir::TableCell:0x2d9e548> (NoMethodError)
 
How else can I do this????
 
 
Thanks,
Amitha

table()[][].text.to_i works for me...

Subject: [Wtr-general] ie.buttons
Message-ID: <42db7007.162524c9.7330.341a@mx.gmail.com>

Watir can not see reset buttons.

html:

<html>
<body>
<input type="reset">
</body>
</html>

irb:

irb(main):001:0> require 'watir'
irb(main):002:0> ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
irb(main):003:0> ie.buttons.each { |b| puts b.to_s }
=> 0

It works fine if <input type="reset"> is replaced with <input type="submit">
or <input type="image">:

irb(main):004:0> ie.buttons.each { |b| puts b.to_s }
type:         submit
id:
name:
value:        Submit Query
disabled:     false
=> 0

Also, if buttons are defined with button tag:

html:

<html>
<body>
<button type="button">
<button type="reset">
<button type="submit">
</body>
</html>

irb:

irb(main):005:0> ie.buttons.each { |b| puts b.to_s }
=> 0

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Team,

Testimonials for a great product.

We are already using Quicktest which is working fine. The plan is to have
a more unrestricted license in terms of the number of seeds (I hate it when
the test execution is gated by the number of licenses that we own)

After evaluating a host of other tools for over a month, we have eventually
decided on  Watir. Being a complex (with a large number of pages) web
application, what we needed was a tool with the guts of a commercial
product and we found it in Watir.

We are very pleased with the tool and are looking forward to a long
association with Watir and its team.

Thanks again,

Raghu Venkataramana

Hi,

I think this is because while getting the collections for button class watir only considers the button that of type 'submit', 'button', or 'image'. The buttons of type 'reset' have been implemented as a separate class in watir. If you look at the code for 'Button' class in watir.rb file, you'll see that the object types it takes is only an array with the values mentioned above. And the class 'Reset' takes into consideration the 'reset' value. 

Don't know why it has been done separately ? Any explanation ?

Regards,
Angrez

yes and no!
its technically  a different element. 

Probably more importantly if it were added to the buttons collection or we used it like ie.button(:index,2) then existing scripts may now not work, as the reset button may now be in the middle of the collection (or index number). eg:

if I currently have 
ie.button(:index,2).click
for this html

<input type=button name='foo'>
<input type='reset' name=reset>
<input type=button name = button2>

and we add the reset type to the buttons objects, then my script is broken, as index 2 is now not the button2 that it was originally

Of course, if you're using name or id instead of index its not an issue.

<a id="btn_dateSearch" class="button"

How can i script the above button and make it search for selected
items...you can ignore the items
selection part as i am only interested in clicking that button.

Thanks.

Hi Saud,

You should be able to press that button using:

ie.link(:id, "btn_dateSearch").click

I tried many ways to validate whether a text exists on my page
("Import.csv"), but can't seem to make it work.
Also, the assert command doesn't return anything.  Should it return true or
false or give some kind of message to let you know whether it worked or not?

Going through many past threads, it appears that the implementation of
clicking on IE's dialog boxes will be completely shifted to AutoIt. What
I am not fully able to understand is why! We have been able to close (or
enter data) on all the popup windows that were being shown in our
application. Is there any particular type of windows / objects that are
known to give problems which is driving the shift towards AutoIT?  If not,
why not use the Winclicker class that comes with Waitr to perform various
window related operations ?

Please advice

Raghu

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Isn't a submit and a button technically 
different elements?

ie.contains_text() returns true or false all by itself.

Subject: [Wtr-general] focus on window
Message-ID: <20050719012705.64245.qmail@web50912.mail.yahoo.com>

Dear All,

I would like to use Autoit to enter text on file field
and click on the javascript dislog. I use ie.focus to
set the focus so that the autoit and winclicker can
perform their work. But I have difficult on it. It
seems that it isn't sucess everytime. sometime it
works, sometime it fails. When fail, I found that the
Tab of the IEs on the task bar is flashing but the
focus didn't set on it. I didn't minimize and maximize
the window. Is there any method like setActive??

Cheers,
Noel

Message-ID: <20050719020544.84310.qmail@web32201.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi All,

I've got several input's of type=file. But I don't
want to invoke the File dialog, I just want to set the
text field like a regular text field.

So why not add the following to TextField in watir.rb:

def supported_types
  return ["text" , "file", "password", "textarea"] 
end

If the user wants a File dialog, they can call it
using FileField (file_field), or reference it as a
TextField (text_field).

Thanks!

Scott

I have this routine that calculates starting time and finished time, but I

I messed around with all sorts of permutations, but kept getting "0.00".
Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks:

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

require 'login.rb' #this is your test case file

MAX_ITERATIONS = 1

result = Test::Unit::TestResult.new


MAX_ITERATIONS.times do
    sleep 3
    TC_Login.suite.run(result) do |s, name| 
        puts "Status=#{s} and name = #{name}"
	time = Time.now.strftime("%m %d %Y %H %M %S")

    end    
    puts result.to_s

its a security thing in IE. It wont let you set a file fields value from script. Because you could have a file input in a hidden div, and have script enter the filename of some important file and then upload it without the user being aware of it.

you're right they are. We also use the same watir object - text_field to handle both <input type=text> and <text area>

Im happy for reset to go in as a button, it reduces the code size, my only concern is that we would break existing code  that uses buttons and indexes.

If Winclicker works for you, great! Some people have had trouble with it 
and we think moving to Autoit will give more reliability.

I say do it. In general, i always consider using :index to be an ugly hack 
when nothing else will work.

You might be able to FireEvent("onblur") then FireEvent("onfocus") to get
the same effect, unless your javascript is truly looking at keydowns.

Howdy,
 
I have a similar login javascript problem that Saud had...except there is no id in the link I have. Is there a way to get around this or does there need to be an id to click the link.
 
Sauds javascript was 
 <a id="btn_dateSearch" class=

mine is pretty much the same but with no id="btn_dateSearch".

I adapted this right out of the book (ed 2 pg 665)

start = DateTime.now

 <thing you want to time>           

stop = DateTime.now

diff = stop - start             

h,m,s,frac = Date.day_fraction_to_time(diff)

s += frac.to_f

puts "That's #{h} Hours, #{m} Minutes, #{s} Seconds"


Output: That's 4 Minutes, 8.00000270833333 Seconds

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Wtr-general] Calculating Elapsed Time

I have this routine that calculates starting time and finished time, but
I
can't figure out how to get the Elapsed time (finished time - starting
time).
I messed around with all sorts of permutations, but kept getting "0.00".
Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks:

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

require 'login.rb' #this is your test case file

MAX_ITERATIONS = 1

result = Test::Unit::TestResult.new


MAX_ITERATIONS.times do
    sleep 3
    TC_Login.suite.run(result) do |s, name| 
        puts "Status=#{s} and name = #{name}"
	time = Time.now.strftime("%m %d %Y %H %M %S") 
	puts "Time(MMDDYYYYhhmmss=#{time}"
    end    
    puts result.to_s
    puts result.failure_count
    
    

   
end

exit!

Is there a method to know if an object exist? I mean without going through the exception handling.

for example if $ie.link(...).exist then...

I get .exists? as a method for a link.  If in doubt, try:

$ie.link(...).public_methods

I was surprised that $ie.link(...).nil? returns false for a non-existent 
link (although I'm using an older version of Watir).  I seem to recall 
this was touched on in discussion here before?

I think this was discussed before, it is not about Watir but internet
explorer. Some people saw 30+ while others saw 40+. I think it is
about how much RAM and CPU internet explorer , therefore your tests
need. If that is true then, those who test image heavy web sites
wouldn't be able to launch a lot of  concurrent browser instances.

I've gotten as many as 60 browsers concurrently running in 10 threads.
 Closing each browser at the end of each test frees up enough
resources to run a much larger number of tests.  I think the number of
threads Ruby can handle is arbitrarily large, but each thread will
compete for resources on the local machine, so it's easy to hit
performance bottlenecks with a smallish number of threads, unless
you're very careful.

Would there be interest in adding this method to Watir? --

   ie.send_keys("{tab}") # send key events to IE window

I don't have strong feelings either way, but it wouldn't be hard to add.

If it isn't too much trouble, I can see how it might come in handy some
day.

Thanks for the info.
Are you referring to the "Programming in Ruby" book by Dave Thomas 2nd
edition?
I couldn't find the code on the page you specified.

Yes I am referring to the "Programming Ruby: The pragmatic programmers

yesterday from the section Date/DateTime on pg 665.

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD3447109A92AE@iris.win.barra.com>

I am wondering if anyone out there is in the process or has already switched
from Segue's SilkTest to WATIR.

Any feedback on how the process went or is going for you would be
appreciated?

We have adopted Segue's SilkTest to automate our Web application a few years
ago, but we are not happy with how unreliable, hard to maintain, and slow it
has performed.

After the demo I gave this morning, we want to pursue investing more time in
WATIR.

So, first of all, thanks for all your help!  You are a great community!

 

Any feedback on SilkTest to WATIR conversion is appreciated.

 

By the way here are some benchmark stats that are interesting to know. 

We picked 2 scripts "Import" and "Analysis/Positions" and coded the exact
steps for both WATIR and SilkTest.

We ran the scripts about 15 times each in both WATIR and SilkTest and here
are the results:

 


Import script

Watir

SilkTest


Lines of Codes

 

60 lines of code

200+

 


Elapsed Time (average of 15 runs)

 

25 seconds

60 seconds


Reliability  

 

No failure when ran 15 times in a row

87% with 15 runs


Maintainability

 

All changes are readily "seen" via View Source or getHTML command.  

Compare files can be done and changes can easily be made.

Changes in B1 code require updates to the page declarations. This can take
between 10 and 30 minutes.

 

 


Analysis/Positions  script

Watir

SilkTest


Lines of Codes

 

105 lines of code

250+


Elapsed Time (average of 15 runs)

 

52 seconds

120 seconds


Reliability  

 

No failure when ran 15 times in a row

80% with 15 runs


Maintainability

 

All changes are readily "seen" via View Source or getHTML command.

Tuyet,

Would you mind putting your analysis on our Wiki? I think that many people 
will find it very interesting.

(By the way i used to work for Segue.)

I've gotten as many as 60 browsers concurrently running in 10 threads.
 Closing each browser at the end of each test frees up enough
resources to run a much larger number of tests.  I think the number of
threads Ruby can handle is arbitrarily large, but each thread will
compete for resources on the local machine, so it's easy to hit
performance bottlenecks with a smallish number of threads, unless
you're very careful.

You will either need to get developers to add an ID so that you can use 
table(id:,"ID"),
or use an explicit reference to the sequence number of the table - 
table(:index,table_number).

Your table opening tag looks like this:

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

If you want to use :id to reference the table, you need:

<table id="ID" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

I don't know if I'm reading your question right but you have something like:

Class A
   def foo
     ....
    end
end

and in some other file

Class B
   def bar
   ....
   end
end

and say, for example you want to use def bar outside of Class B?

If so, you can just do:

someVar = B.new()
b.bar()

Subject: [Wtr-general] image.to_s
Message-ID: <42df9e03.20b07565.0eaf.ffffe679@mx.gmail.com>

I am making unit tests for my methods and I found a bug in watir.

I wanted to display properties of an image. HTML is valid according to
http://validator.w3.org/.

----------
HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>
images
</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
<p>
<img src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" />
</p>
</body>
</html>
----------
IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.images.each { |i| puts i.to_s }
----------
OUTPUT:

type:         image
id:
name:
value:
disabled:     false
src:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/zfilipin/My%20Documents/Tests/test/htm
l/images/flower.png
file date:    07/13/2005
file size:    1252
width:        20
height:       20
----------

Then I added missing id, name, value, and disabled, so img tag is:

<img src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" id="image_id" name="image_name"
value="image_value" disabled="disabled" />
----------
OUTPUT:
...
id:           image_id
name:         image_name
value:        image_value
disabled:     true
...
----------
So where is the bug? My page is no longer valid. I get this error messages:
"there is no attribute name/value/disabled".
Even if I change my page back to html 4.01 I get error messages: "there is
no attribute value/disabled". So, name was once alloved, but value and
disabled not even then.
What is the purpose of displaying properties that do not exist?

Not related to this, but what is purpose of "type: image" in output? Can it
be anything else except image?

Three possibilities: 
excel['Visible'] = false opens Excel and does work, but never launches
the UI. Would that help?

Or-- would it be possible to convert your spreadsheets to CSV?  That
would allow you to process the data as pure text, with no need for
Excel.

Finally, it is probably possible to open the Excel file directly and
parse it using only Ruby, but it would not be easy.

Hope that gives you some ideas...

I'm sorry to say your developer is not correct. If an ID is not
explicitly specified, the framework will create one, and it would be
subject to change if the control tree changed on postback. However, if
an ID *is* explicitly specified, the framework will use that ID.

And you can save excel files as xml and then use xml parser REXML

What object do your developer use? If you use stand alone object inasp.net, you can give an ID to it. But if you use an object inside ancontainer like  DataGrid,DataList, Repeater or GridView( Asp.Net 2.0).Asp.Net automatically gives and ID to them since an ID in a html pagemust be unique. For example you have such a declaration in aspx page.
                <asp:GridView " ID="ctlDataGrid" runat="server"                     AutoGenerateColumns="False"EnableViewState="False" Width="100%" CssClass="Grid">                    <Columns>                        <asp:TemplateField>                            <ItemTemplate>                                <asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server"Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Name") %>'></asp:Label>                            </ItemTemplate>                        </asp:TemplateField>                    </Columns>                </asp:GridView>                this asp.net template render in html as below.                                                <table id="ctl00_cphAnaIcerikPaneli_ctlDataGrid" >                    <tr>                        <td align="left">                            <spanid="ctl00_cphAnaIcerikPaneli_ctlDataGrid_ctl02_lblName">?MAM HAT?PL?SES? VE ANADOLU ?.H.L. </span>                        </td>                    </tr>                    <tr >                        <td align="left">                            <spanid="ctl00_cphAnaIcerikPaneli_ctlDataGrid_ctl03_lblName">AnafartalarLisesi </span>                        </td                    </tr>					</table>
note that your lblName id in label rendered as span as asp.net rendersasp:label as span and it renames your id="lblName" asctl00_cphAnaIcerikPaneli_ctlDataGrid_ctl03_lblName
cphAnaIcerikPaneli this comes beacuse of SkinID which comes with Asp.Net 2.0 ctlDataGrid this is what you give an id to your datagrid or gridview object.at last lblName this is your developer id. As you see there is a pattern inthis renaming of IDs.
you can catch these as ie.span(:id,/lblName/) if they are stand alone. If they are in a grid catch table, table(:id,/ctlDataGrid/)  and in your table's rows catch them as  span(:id,/lblName/) in one row there must be only one lblName, sinceasp.net does not allow you to give same id to one object. thereforeyou will know that all lblnames are instances of your label(span).

Also your developer override naming of these identifiers. But i do notthink he will want to do that.

I just talked to him again, and it seems that you are both right. :)
He said that it is true for simple controls, but he uses repeaters

id=rpt (automatic creation of checkboxes, for example)

results in:

rpt_cb1
rpt_cb2 
...

If repeater is inside repeater then it is something like:

rptOuter_rptInner_cb1
...

He uses repeaters because (in this case) we are making web shop and at one
page there are lots of options, and user selects some of them.

Would this also work for sending other keyboard commands?  E.g. {ALT +
A}

Would there be interest in adding this method to Watir? --

   ie.send_keys("{tab}") # send key events to IE window

I don't have strong feelings either way, but it wouldn't be hard to add.

Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D2E3@EX5V.rl.gov>

You could also do:
1.  Right Click and select view source
2.  Ctrl + f and enter <table
3.  Click 'Find Next'
NOTE: that is table index 1
4.  Continue clicking 'Find Next' (and counting) until the desired table
is reached.

This is tedious I know but works pretty well especially if you have
nested tables.

Here is another thing that helped me.  Once the desired table is found
you can shortcut access to that table by doing this:

table = $ie.table(:index, <target index>)
table[row][column].<object you want to access>

One additional note:  if your action changes your target table
dynamically (e.g.  clicking a button adds/removes a table value) you
will have to add this line: table = $ie.table(:index, <target index>)
again AFTER the action to load changes into the table variable.

Message-ID: <D44594CCB56C3547A2F75D2B379147F6466898@EXCHANGE.NETeller.com>

I use excel['Visible']=false to hide the excel window while running. Be
sure to close the window with         workbook.Close(0) and excel.Quit
or the excel processes don't terminate. For reading data, I use a loop
to go through all the rows upto some keyword planted in the excel file
like "END" or until 10 consecutive blank lines are read.

Also instead of reading from excel as ['value'] try using ['text']. The
Ruby win32ole is buggy when it comes to reading numbers from excel
files. It seems to have a mind of its own with the amount of decimals
digits.
 
      otestStep.action=worksheet.Range("D#{startRow +
readRow}")['Text'].strip.to_s

To write to the excel file use

      worksheet.Range("F#{startRow + readRow}").value=accountNumber

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with why I am getting an undefined method error (NoMethodError) for wait_for_browser().  

Here's a snippet from my script:
#includes:
require 'watir'   # the watir controller
require 'win32ole'
include Watir
#open the IE browser
ie = IE.new

ie.wait_for_browser()

thanks sathya...autoit helped with the tabbing.  is there a way for me to keep the browser active while the lines for autoit are executed?  when i run the script, and go off to do work on another app, autoit runs the command on the current active app (ran while i was in notepad).

 ?
hi,
this is because there is no method called 'wait_for_browser()' defined to Watir::IE class . Instead you can user IE.wait() for waiting till the browser loads the page. By the way it is unnecessary to call the method because watir internally calls this method on every event that causes a new page to get loaded.

Regards,
Angrez

Are you trying to manually launch/activate another window? IMHO, it is 
always best not
to run any other application (manually) when test automation is running.

If you still need it, you could try WinActivate("title_of_ie") to 
activate the browser before
sending keys

I am back with this issue.

We have to resolve this "Access is Denied" issue; otherwise, we can't use
WATIR (sigh!)

I am only able to use WATIR on our staging server which not in the same
domain as my computer.

But for some reason, our development servers cannot be accessed by WATIR as
shown below.

Any suggestion to debug this would be appreciated!

 

1a) "Access is denied" using IE.attach:

1b) "Access is denied"  using ie.goto:

Oops!

 

I got the wrong file up there.  Can you replace it with this one?

I would appreciate it!  Thanks.

Hi Tuyet Cong-Ton-Nu,

I too get the same exception some times and when i use the Interactive 
Ruby Shell to recognize the object or
say flash that object at that point of time it works fine for me.
Is there some thing that i am doing wrong or do i have to use some 
exception handlers for this in watir?

Thanks for All ur Help
Sathya Shankar

The command equivelant:
 
ie.button(:src, "http://cdn.search.aol.com/aolsearch/searchbutton_5_0.gif").click
 
works fine in IRB. Running in a script however, it does click the button, but never returns, causing the script to stall without any error reporting. This command, BTW, happens to be in an iteration block, executing on different attributes each time. This particular one is the only one that fails, and it also happens to be the only one that's using ":src" and a URL. Does that have anything to do with it?
 
Brand new with both Ruby and WATiR, BTW. Cool stuff. Hopefully I'll get to play with it for awhile, before having to go back to Mercury et al.

By the way, once you finally lose your patience and "Ctrl-C" out of the stalled script, this is what gets returned:

OK, since this thing doesn't appear to be of any consequence to the validity of my script (elsewhere I read that the way to deal with it is to ignore it), is there any way to suppress the error output? It scares the hell out of the people I'm trying to demo the technology to, besides making the output just plain difficult to read.

This error occurs when you try to navigate directly from a page that is 
hosted by one server to a frame that is served by another. It sounds like 
your staging server serves everything from one point, but your development 
servers serve them from a couple different servers.

The way to workaround this is to navigate directly to the subframe (and the 
server that hosts it) that you are trying to test (using ie.goto, if 
necessary).

Send the html for https://qa-b1.test.com/araneae/app, and i can give more 
details.

Hi,
  I was trying to expand a TreeView, which is a third party control, very 
javascript-intensive. Any ideas on how to proceed? I was able to find and 
click the image of the node that I want to expand, the div, and everything 
else remotely involved with that treeview, but nothing happened. This is all 
happening on a frame, but I understand how to use frames.
  I realize the above explanation is not too informative, but I'm new to 
Watir and may not know enough even to know which question to ask. Perhaps 
someone has some insight into how to deal with third party controls that are 
performing behind-the-scene tricks.
  BTW, great tool! We've needed this for a long time.
 Thanks,
Mike
 P.S. I'm finding some method aliases, like show_divs and showDivs. Should I 
be ignoring one or the other?

Use the one with the underscores. We'll be moving stuff like showDivs into 
a optional package soon, so that they will be only available when 
specifically requested (for legacy code).

Message-ID: <82E50B4081E1354AAC1F917519B13F0D4E022A@OLENICK-01-EX.atlarge.net>

I'm confused. This is my script, pretty much copied out of the user guide:
 
begin
     assert(ie.contains_text("verification text") )
     puts("TEST PASSED.")
rescue 
     puts("TEST FAILED.") 
end

This is what the last couple of lines of output look like:
 
Go to the test site: http://search.msn.com
TEST PASSED.
Go to the test site: http://www.findit-quick.com
TEST FAILED.
Go to the test site: http://www.truesearch.com
TEST PASSED.
Go to the test site: http://www.waply.com/
TEST FAILED.
.
Finished in 112.515 seconds.
1 tests, 19 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
 
Why does the framework-generated text at the end not indicate that assertions failed? How do I capture that info?

 Just like the old K&R C/Unix/Perl days...I always knew they'd be back!
 To answer my own question about treeviews, I found one approach, which 
worked, here:
  http://wtr.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?FrequentQuestions
 Interestingly, some of the images I need can not be seen in view source, 
but the above method does find them. It's kind of laborious, and I keep 
ending up with many browsers open, but I'm sure I'll work out more efficient 
ways over time, and even as is, it's still faster and more powerful than any 
other web testing approaches I'm aware of. 
 Good stuff!
 Mike

You are right.  The development servers can serve the page from different
servers because there is a "traffic" cop server that manages the load.  I
don't think that's the case for our staging server.

I hope I included the info you need below, but if not, please let me know

it.

ie.frame(:name, /foo/)

ie.frame(:id, 'whatever')

Subject: [Wtr-general] finding javascript-created browser window
Message-ID: <20050723073031.GZ25531@merlot.com>

I'm trying to write a script that tests a relatively simple web app.
There are two factors that make this difficult: the page I need to test
is created by a javascript function (indirectly via a link), and the
developers are unwilling to make any changes to that code to increase
testability.

My first thought was to sleep for a while, waiting for the javascript
function to run and load the new window, then find it by name. This
isn't working for me and I can't figure out why. 

Any ideas?

If the archives were searchable, I'd search them before asking... I hope
this isn't a common question. I did browse the archives, but that's not
the same as searching.

Thanks.

For searching archives try this in Google:

(instead of "javascript" you can use anything you think can be usefull)

I'm trying to write a script that tests a relatively simple web app.
There are two factors that make this difficult: the page I need to test
is created by a javascript function (indirectly via a link), and the
developers are unwilling to make any changes to that code to increase
testability.

My first thought was to sleep for a while, waiting for the javascript
function to run and load the new window, then find it by name. This
isn't working for me and I can't figure out why. 

Any ideas?

If the archives were searchable, I'd search them before asking... I hope
this isn't a common question. I did browse the archives, but that's not
the same as searching.

Thanks.

This is the biggest weakness with Watir: modal javascript popups. None of 
us have figured out a way to get to the popups DOM, and from what i've been 
able to tell, this actually stems from a weakness in the DOM specification, 
rather than a fault in the Microsoft implementation. I did find a MS 
technical note that indicated a workaround, but it would have to be coded 
in C and would require an optional Accessibility feature -- i'm not sure 
whether it is worth pursuing. (I'm offline at the moment, google for 
ihtmldocument2 and its the third or fourth link.)

In the mean time, the best we've been able to to do is to send key events 
to the popup window to get it to go away. This "solution" is in the FAQ.

Dear ALL
I would like get size of 2D array, as like this

table_data = ie.frame("rightframe").frame("result").table(:id,
"table").to_a

puts table_data.length

But it's seemed incorrect.

And Do you have any suggestion for verify value in table?

Thank you for help

Speaking of modal dialogs, one of the developers from my company has
figured out a way to deal with them (by changing them into regular pop
ups at run time).  There is one trick that must be employed, and that
is to have a check in the Javascript code, for example, in pseudo code
(since I don't remember the exact coding from home)

if showModal not defined
   give a regular alert box
else
   show them the modal dialog
end


Now, in the browser, if you type in the URL:

javascript:  var x; showModal = x;

and hit enter

any action you do that would normally generate the modal dialog would
generate a regular alert pop up which you can use autoit to get rid
of.  The only problem with this is that if you use WATIR to set the
URL to line mentioned above, it hangs..

Replying to myself...

I think the 'attach' method might work for me... I'll check as soon as
my test system is available again.

  http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-June/002142.html

> >If the archives were searchable, I'd search them before asking... I hope

Thatks for the reminder about google's 'site:' tag. That helped a lot.

> This is the biggest weakness with Watir: modal javascript popups. 

It's not a modal javascript popup; it's a new browser window spawned by
a javascript function. The original page goes to a new URL after
spawning the new window.

> In the mean time, the best we've been able to to do is to send key events

I don't want the popup to go away. The app I need to test is in it. If I
wanted it to go away, the FAQ would probably have gotten me there.

Does this clarify the problem I'm having? Do you think the 'attach'
method is the right approach?

Now I'm trying to get my client to think about giving the testers a
direct URL instead of this javascript-spawned indirection. The
dev-test people test the engine without these tricks on the front end;
their clients add all kinds of impediments to testing the apps that are
built using the engine. Maybe the solution is bureacratic instead of
technical. #:)

Thanks for the tips.

What was returned, and what were you expecting?  Could you get the 
information by using table.row_count and table.column_count?

I have committed changes that allow you to reference frames using id's or 
regexps:

ie.frame(:name, /foo/)

ie.frame(:id, 'whatever')

For searching archives try this in Google:

(instead of "javascript" you can use anything you think can be usefull)

Subject: [Wtr-general] finding javascript-created browser window

I'm trying to write a script that tests a relatively simple web app.
There are two factors that make this difficult: the page I need to test
is created by a javascript function (indirectly via a link), and the
developers are unwilling to make any changes to that code to increase
testability.

My first thought was to sleep for a while, waiting for the javascript
function to run and load the new window, then find it by name. This
isn't working for me and I can't figure out why. 

Any ideas?

If the archives were searchable, I'd search them before asking... I hope
this isn't a common question. I did browse the archives, but that's not
the same as searching.

Thanks.

This is the biggest weakness with Watir: modal javascript popups. None of 
us have figured out a way to get to the popups DOM, and from what i've been 
able to tell, this actually stems from a weakness in the DOM specification, 
rather than a fault in the Microsoft implementation. I did find a MS 
technical note that indicated a workaround, but it would have to be coded 
in C and would require an optional Accessibility feature -- i'm not sure 
whether it is worth pursuing. (I'm offline at the moment, google for 
ihtmldocument2 and its the third or fourth link.)

In the mean time, the best we've been able to to do is to send key events 
to the popup window to get it to go away. This "solution" is in the FAQ.

Dear ALL
I would like get size of 2D array, as like this

table_data = ie.frame("rightframe").frame("result").table(:id,
"table").to_a

puts table_data.length

But it's seemed incorrect.

And Do you have any suggestion for verify value in table?

Thank you for help

Speaking of modal dialogs, one of the developers from my company has
figured out a way to deal with them (by changing them into regular pop
ups at run time).  There is one trick that must be employed, and that
is to have a check in the Javascript code, for example, in pseudo code
(since I don't remember the exact coding from home)

if showModal not defined
   give a regular alert box
else
   show them the modal dialog
end


Now, in the browser, if you type in the URL:

javascript:  var x; showModal = x;

and hit enter

any action you do that would normally generate the modal dialog would
generate a regular alert pop up which you can use autoit to get rid
of.  The only problem with this is that if you use WATIR to set the
URL to line mentioned above, it hangs..

Replying to myself...

I think the 'attach' method might work for me... I'll check as soon as
my test system is available again.

  http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-June/002142.html

Thatks for the reminder about google's 'site:' tag. That helped a lot.

> This is the biggest weakness with Watir: modal javascript popups. 

It's not a modal javascript popup; it's a new browser window spawned by
a javascript function. The original page goes to a new URL after
spawning the new window.

> In the mean time, the best we've been able to to do is to send key events

I don't want the popup to go away. The app I need to test is in it. If I
wanted it to go away, the FAQ would probably have gotten me there.

Does this clarify the problem I'm having? Do you think the 'attach'
method is the right approach?

Now I'm trying to get my client to think about giving the testers a
direct URL instead of this javascript-spawned indirection. The
dev-test people test the engine without these tricks on the front end;
their clients add all kinds of impediments to testing the apps that are
built using the engine. Maybe the solution is bureacratic instead of
technical. #:)

Thanks for the tips.

What was returned, and what were you expecting?  Could you get the 
information by using table.row_count and table.column_count?

-----------------------------------------------
|2005/07/19 11:03:44 	|Exposure end (Error)
-----------------------------------------------
...

Bc have several table like this, so I develop the procedure check the result

I have committed changes that allow you to reference frames using id's or 
regexps:

ie.frame(:name, /foo/)

ie.frame(:id, 'whatever')

For searching archives try this in Google:

(instead of "javascript" you can use anything you think can be usefull)

Subject: [Wtr-general] finding javascript-created browser window

I'm trying to write a script that tests a relatively simple web app.
There are two factors that make this difficult: the page I need to test
is created by a javascript function (indirectly via a link), and the
developers are unwilling to make any changes to that code to increase
testability.

My first thought was to sleep for a while, waiting for the javascript
function to run and load the new window, then find it by name. This
isn't working for me and I can't figure out why. 

Any ideas?

If the archives were searchable, I'd search them before asking... I hope
this isn't a common question. I did browse the archives, but that's not
the same as searching.

Thanks.

This is the biggest weakness with Watir: modal javascript popups. None of 
us have figured out a way to get to the popups DOM, and from what i've been 
able to tell, this actually stems from a weakness in the DOM specification, 
rather than a fault in the Microsoft implementation. I did find a MS 
technical note that indicated a workaround, but it would have to be coded 
in C and would require an optional Accessibility feature -- i'm not sure 
whether it is worth pursuing. (I'm offline at the moment, google for 
ihtmldocument2 and its the third or fourth link.)

In the mean time, the best we've been able to to do is to send key events 
to the popup window to get it to go away. This "solution" is in the FAQ.

Dear ALL
I would like get size of 2D array, as like this

table_data = ie.frame("rightframe").frame("result").table(:id,
"table").to_a

puts table_data.length

But it's seemed incorrect.

And Do you have any suggestion for verify value in table?

Thank you for help

Speaking of modal dialogs, one of the developers from my company has
figured out a way to deal with them (by changing them into regular pop
ups at run time).  There is one trick that must be employed, and that
is to have a check in the Javascript code, for example, in pseudo code
(since I don't remember the exact coding from home)

if showModal not defined
   give a regular alert box
else
   show them the modal dialog
end


Now, in the browser, if you type in the URL:

javascript:  var x; showModal = x;

and hit enter

any action you do that would normally generate the modal dialog would
generate a regular alert pop up which you can use autoit to get rid
of.  The only problem with this is that if you use WATIR to set the
URL to line mentioned above, it hangs..

Replying to myself...

I think the 'attach' method might work for me... I'll check as soon as
my test system is available again.

  http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-June/002142.html

> >If the archives were searchable, I'd search them before asking... I hope

Thatks for the reminder about google's 'site:' tag. That helped a lot.

> This is the biggest weakness with Watir: modal javascript popups. 

It's not a modal javascript popup; it's a new browser window spawned by
a javascript function. The original page goes to a new URL after
spawning the new window.

> In the mean time, the best we've been able to to do is to send key events

I don't want the popup to go away. The app I need to test is in it. If I
wanted it to go away, the FAQ would probably have gotten me there.

Does this clarify the problem I'm having? Do you think the 'attach'
method is the right approach?

Now I'm trying to get my client to think about giving the testers a
direct URL instead of this javascript-spawned indirection. The
dev-test people test the engine without these tricks on the front end;
their clients add all kinds of impediments to testing the apps that are
built using the engine. Maybe the solution is bureacratic instead of
technical. #:)

Thanks for the tips.

What was returned, and what were you expecting?  Could you get the 
information by using table.row_count and table.column_count?

Hue, you have to start the WinClicker BEFORE you click the button that
produces the popup.

 

I have a function (right out of the unittests)

 

#Popup clicker

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 I call it...

startClicker ("OK", 3)

 

#Then I click the button that produces the popup.

ie.frame("rightframe").frame("search").button(:name, "Submit").click

 

Hope this helps,

 

--Mark

Thanks, Bret for your suggestions.  Still some issues though.... Any
suggestion is appreciated!

 

I used this command:

irb(main):002:0> ie = Watir::IE.new

irb(main):004:0* ie.goto("https://qa-b1.test.com/araneae/login")

*      8.547

*       

Which worked fine, but then I did this command:

irb(main):006:0> ie.form(:name, "loginForm").submit

=> 1

 

A new IE instance was launched and the "Home" page is displayed (that is
what it's supposed to do)

However, now I have 2 instances of IE opened: 

1)       The first IE is still opened with the login form

2)       The second IE has the Home page (resulting from clicking on the
Login button)

 

What can I do to not launch the second IE?  Why did it launch the second IE?

Also, after the goto command was executed, I couldn't see any frames at all
from the login page.  This is before I did the second command:

irb(main):013:0> ie.show_frames

there are 0 frames

=> 0..-1

 

There should be 2 frames: main and relay as you can see from my previous
posting.

Because it can't recognize "main", my script won't run.

For example: 

irb(main):005:0> ie.frame("main").text_field(:name,
"UserId").fire_event("onFocus")

Watir::Exception::UnknownFrameException: Unable to locate a frame with name
main

        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1832:in `initialize'

        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:218:in `new'

        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:218:in `frame'

I checked with the engineer that knows the hardware/software configuration
of this application and forwarded him your take on why the error is
generated, and here is his answer:

 

"I don't think this is the case. All the requests are being processed from
one domain. I think the microsoft issue is more in line with a solution..."

 

This is the Microsoft issue that I stumbled upon.  I've been trying to get
the download of this HotFix from MS, but it's not working.  The support
person I talked to was not very competent.  I will have to try again.  Just
want to let you know and get your feedback on this.  Thanks.

Hi! I've installed ruby and watir (latest releases) on another terminal. However, When i run googlesearch.rb this error pops out.

What's with this error? and why does this happen now? I have no problem with watir on my original terminal. Thank you.

if one frame is hosted by web1.company.com and the other is hosted by 
web2.company.com, you will run into a cross-site scripting limitation and 
get an access is denied error. load-balancing will do this.

your engineer's response does not explain why you only see the problem on 
one environment.

Watir won't work with frames served by different servers. I'm giving you a 
way to keep that from happening.

This error message is telling you that $ie is nil. I'm not sure what you 
are trying to do with $ie.dir.gsub...

Hi,
  OK, silence usually means, "I don't know", and I've since discovered the 
answer, so here it is:
  If you are using the IE tabstrip control on a frame, here is how you can 
make it work. Here we are switching to the second tab, i.e., tab #1. Typing 
from memory...
 $main = ie.frame("main") 
$main.hidden(:name, "__MyTabStrip_State__").value = 1
$main.form(:name, "MyFormName").submit
 It seems that the "$ie.goto("javascript:" construct does not work when 
using frames.

I'm confused. This is my script, pretty much copied out of the user guide:

     assert(ie.contains_text("verification text") )
     puts("TEST PASSED.")
rescue 
     puts("TEST FAILED.")

Why does the framework-generated text at the end not indicate that assertions failed? How do I capture that info?

If you are using the example below as is then you'll need to be
consistent with your ie declaration.  In the startClicker method you use
$ie and in the code below (where you click the submit button) that you
use ie without the $.  However you begin ie = IE.new() OR $ie = IE.new()
you will need to be consistent throughout.

Hope this helps,

Mike, 

 

Just saw your message and the follow-up workaround you found.  

No the Goto didn't work for me but am glad to see you found a solution.

 

I'm looking forward to trying it myself.

	It's a bug that there is even a goto method for frames.
	
	I would try referencing the frame inside your javascript.
Something like this:

Mark,

 

Does this work with Modal dialogs as well?

 

I've not been able to get Winclicker to work as well as the unittest
example.

 

I start it before my dialog pops up but nothing ever happens.

 

Frustrated,

Kim

Hue, you have to start the WinClicker BEFORE you click the button that
produces the popup.

 

I have a function (right out of the unittests)

 

#Popup clicker

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 I call it...

startClicker ("OK", 3)

 

#Then I click the button that produces the popup.

ie.frame("rightframe").frame("search").button(:name, "Submit").click

 

Hope this helps,

 

--Mark

Awesome, Thanks Brett,

How about frames with no names.  Seems these are second-class objects as
some frame methods don't seem to support frames referenced by index? 

Best Regards,
Kim

I have committed changes that allow you to reference frames using id's
or 
regexps:

ie.frame(:name, /foo/)

ie.frame(:id, 'whatever')

Message-ID: <82E50B4081E1354AAC1F917519B13F0D4E022E@OLENICK-01-EX.atlarge.net>

When I run it I get the following:
 
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1979:in `object_exist_check': Unable to

        from C:/watir_bonus/examples/concurrent_search.rb:18
 
I don't understand why the UnknownObjectException error is appearing. "name" and "q" are the values for the object in question, and the other examples doing the Google search with those values work fine.

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD3447109A9712@iris.win.barra.com>

This command does take me to the login page:
1) irb(main):005:0> ie.goto("https://qa-common-b1.barra.com/araneae/login")
*      0.188
*       
2) Then I do this:
irb(main):007:0> ie.form(:name, "loginForm").submit
=> 0
Which launches another IE instance to display the Analysis page (the page
after login).
But the original IE where the Login page is displayed is also opened.
So I have 2 instances of IE at this point. This doesn't seem right.  Why
doesn't the first IE close?
 
3) then I attach to the second IE which is successful
 
irb(main):009:0> ie = Watir::IE.attach(:url,
"https://qa-common-b1.barra.com/ara
neae/app")
 
4) now I get the html of the Analysis page:
irb(main):010:0> ie.html
=> "<FRAMESET border=0 frameSpacing=0 rows=0,* frameBorder=0><FRAME border=0
nam
e=relay marginWidth=0 marginHeight=0 src=\"/include/blank.html\"
frameBorder=\"\
" noResize scrolling=no><FRAME border=0 name=main marginWidth=0
marginHeight=0 s
rc=\"/araneae/Analysis/home?common.sessionId=99siQl7h0gSTwCwQCHDDKg99\"
frameBor
der=0 scrolling=no></FRAMESET>"
 
Now that Iam here, the objects that I want to manipulate lives inside
embedded frames.  
This was the command that used to work:
ie.frame("main").frame("sidebar").frame("analysisSidebarTabContent").image(:
src, /icon_report_positions.gif/).click
 
5) but now since the frames cannot be "seen", how do I access click on the
"icon_report_positions.gift" 
irb(main):011:0> ie.show_frames
there are 2 frames
frame  index: 0 --Access Denied--
frame  index: 1 --Access Denied--
*      0..1
 
What you suggest below will work if the object is at the main level as this
example is, but won't work if the object is found within frames like the
example above:

Watir won't work with frames served by different servers. I'm giving you a 
way to keep that from happening.

That is news to me. Can you give more details for why you say this?

Whenever you see a frame with access denied, you'll have to 'goto' the 
frame's url and then go from there.

This will give you extra IE windows.

This isn't pretty, but it should 'work'.

Why do folks do all this tricky stuff with Winclicker and starting new
instances of the ruby process? 

I do this:

   Thread.new { sleep 0.1; WindowHelper.new.push_alert_button }
   ie.link(:id, "whatever").click #this causes an Alert()

and it works great. Am I doing something silly?

Message-ID: <42E76543.8070409@hanselman.com>

Hey folks,

I got tired of waiting and wrote a 0.1 version of what I'm calling 
WatirMaker. It's puts IE on a string and attempts to record a Watir 
script from events. Take a look here 
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingWatirMakerRecordingForRubybasedWatir.aspx 
- there is a *flash movie *demonstration of what I've accomplished in a 
few hours.

I'd like to get a few people together to take this to a 0.9 release. 
Note, though, it's probably less about understanding Watir and more 
about understanding COM and the HTMLDocumentEvents2 classes. If you've 
got deep COM and IE object model and you're in this group, I'd like to 
talk to you. If it's successful the Watir community can have it and 
maybe Bret would bless it. ;)

I am new to unit testing, but try this:
 
assert(ie.contains_text("verification text"), "TEST FAILED.")

assert(boolean, [ message ] ) - Fails if boolean is false or nil.

"rescue" seems to rescue your failure.

I'm confused. This is my script, pretty much copied out of the user guide:

begin
     assert(ie.contains_text("verification text") )
     puts("TEST PASSED.")
rescue 
     puts("TEST FAILED.") 
end

This is what the last couple of lines of output look like:

Go to the test site: http://search.msn.com <http://search.msn.com> 
TEST PASSED.
Go to the test site: http://www.findit-quick.com
<http://www.findit-quick.com> 
TEST FAILED.
Go to the test site: http://www.truesearch.com <http://www.truesearch.com> 
TEST PASSED.
Go to the test site: http://www.waply.com/ <http://www.waply.com/> 
TEST FAILED.
.
Finished in 112.515 seconds.
1 tests, 19 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

Why does the framework-generated text at the end not indicate that
assertions failed? How do I capture that info?

I discovered this myself independently:  the way to handle popups is
in another thread.  Those unfamiliar with threads accomplish the same
thing by handling popups in another process altogether.   (Some silly
people have handled popups with an entirely different script running
in another scripting *language* altogether...)

Not entirely true. What we found here was that most of the times,  when 
a modal
dialog pops up, the calling process and all its child threads wait for 
the modal dialog to be dismissed
before continuing executing. Spawning another process solves this 
problem. In fact, in one of
my experiments I found that even when a child thread opens a modal 
dialog, the owner thread
also waits till the dialog is dismissed. ( I was trying to check if it 
is possible to call some of the
potential dialog creators like clicking etc., could be started off on a 
separate thread)

Yea, I guess that's the effect. Unfortunately, not rescuing causes the script to terminate. What I have going on here is a loop... Ideally, at the end of the test case, I see that the loop executed say 20 times, that there were 20 assertions, and that 5 of them failed. I guess I need to redesign the test/script to accomplish that.

Hi... 
    I'm trying to install Watir on a colleague's machine and getting a
strange error.  Line 155 of install.rb is

bonus_location = homeDrive + "\\watir_bonus\\"   # the default bonus location

Ruby is giving us an "undefined method "+"" error-- it's interpreting
the plus-sign (+) as a method for some reason.

This is Ruby 1.8.2.  

Any suggestions about what might cause this or how to fix it?

cdoMail.From = "AutomatedTestRun at mscibarra.com"

Hi Peter;
 
No go. I find I get the same thing no matter how I click the thing (the only attributes on this object that Watir recognizes is the SRC and its index position.) I think the issue is that the form, on Submit, calls a JavaScript function. Its like Watir never gets the word the function has finished.
 
Actually, this is what's defined in the FORM tag on this particular page (which, BTW, is search.aol.com, in case anybody wants to go and look at it):
 
onsubmit="sb_doSubmit(this.query);return false;"

Actually, I hadn't even noticed the typo in your code <g>.
 
In any event, the problem is not that Watir can't locate or click the button. The issue is that, once clicked, control never comes back to Watir from the page/browser, so the script hangs.

homeDrive is probably nil. I think that comes from an environment
variable.
I think this needs to change anyway, recently I had watir install to a
network drive, as the users home path was set to be k: 
I imagine most people would want to install to c: - rather than the
place where the HomeDrive env variable is set to

Hi... 
    I'm trying to install Watir on a colleague's machine and getting a
strange error.  Line 155 of install.rb is

bonus_location = homeDrive + "\\watir_bonus\\"   # the default bonus
location

Ruby is giving us an "undefined method "+"" error-- it's interpreting
the plus-sign (+) as a method for some reason.

This is Ruby 1.8.2.  

Any suggestions about what might cause this or how to fix it?  

-Chris

Message-ID: <51A0D9881DD5F1498CA1AAC9D30AFD2C1A256B@corhouexs08m.corp.epec.com>

Hi All,

I'm noticing differences in the behavior of a page between automated
testing and manually doing the same thing.

The app I'm testing registers (sends) a piece of javascript code 
to display validation error messages.  It adds this to the html stream
upon processing a postback.

When running the app manually these error messages are displayed.
However when running with test script (same actions as manual only
automated) the javascript fails to fire and I get no browser error
messages window. Any Ideas?

Here's the javascript.  It's at the top of the page (doing browser view
source). 

	<script language=javascript>parent.DisplayMsg(new Array(new
Array('RuleError','RuleNumber_009','Error Message 1'),new
Array('RuleError','RuleNumber_008','Error Message 2')),2);</script>

I apologize in advance, but watir is great, but I'm stumped why I'm
seeing this.

Thanks,
Kim

Everyone Please excuse this earlier message. 

I'm just being obtuse.  The pages I'm testing are meant to reside in a
frame that provides the error message display element.
My test scripts are not exercising the pages in the frame yet.  

Thanks for the speedy reply, and please forgive the false alarm.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Pop up handling improvements
Message-ID: <005701c592d9$5e6a9910$6400a8c0@NewDell>

The scripts that handle pop ups are in the unit test directory 

jscriptExtraAlert.rb
jscriptExtraConfirmCancel.rb
jscriptExtraConfirmOk.rb
jscriptPushButton.rb

I suggest we move these to a better location - 

The C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir seems like the best place ( or
maybe another dir below)

We can then maybe add some methods to launch these from watir directly -


ie.launch_js_confirm_clicker()

Or similar. I think this would be one small step to making these popups
easier to deal with.

Any suggestions?

Message-ID: <640C9D8653C87C44AB5F00F91A91FE210D4B1F@edison.elevenwireless.com>

Scott, I got tired of waiting as well.  I've started an IE toolbar that
will do the same thing.  While I really like the idea of having a Watir
toolbar for this, it has taken me into the black art of C++ / COM / ATL
(not my greatest strength).  I've gotten a lot of legs from an excellent
ShareWare utility called ToolbarCreator, but it's still relatively slow
going.  In the same time that it took you to produce a relatively
functional prototype, I've just gotten to the point where the event
sinks work for the DOM.
 
In addition to concerns over the development velocity, I've been worried
about producing a solution that few people in the Watir community would
be interested in (or able to) maintain.
 
So, long story short, we have a need for WaterMaker and I'd like to
throw my hat in the ring.
 
-=michael=-
 
P.S. If you ever have a need for an IE toolbar, I highly recommend
ToolbarCreator (http://www.diodia.com/toolbarcreator.htm).  They've done
an excellent job of creating a wizard that will spit out a C++ VS 7
project for your toolbar, and they provide libraries that hide much of
the COM / ATL complexity.

	Hey folks,
	
	I got tired of waiting and wrote a 0.1 version of what I'm
calling WatirMaker. It's puts IE on a string and attempts to record a
Watir script from events. Take a look here
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingWatirMakerRecordingForRubybased
Watir.aspx - there is a flash movie demonstration of what I've
accomplished in a few hours. 
	
	I'd like to get a few people together to take this to a 0.9
release. Note, though, it's probably less about understanding Watir and
more about understanding COM and the HTMLDocumentEvents2 classes. If
you've got deep COM and IE object model and you're in this group, I'd
like to talk to you. If it's successful the Watir community can have it
and maybe Bret would bless it. ;)

 Running fine in IRB but not in a script strongly indicates a race. I've 
already encountered one of these myself, and I'm brand new to this. You 
might try strategically adding a sleep anywhere you think that javascript 
may be altering your html. Show_all_objects can be used to make sure what 
you think is there really is. (It can also function as the "sleep".) The 
button may not even be part in the real problem.

But it will not work if you use single quotes ('), you have to use double
quotes (") if you have variable inside the string.

new_string = "abcdef#{var1}jklmnop"

Right now, I am doing this:

var1 = 'ghi'
new_string = 'abcdef' + var1 + 'jklmnop'

Is there any way I can insert the variable name within the string?  I
tried doing this, but it didn't work:

New_string = 'abcdef{var1}jklmnop'

I had the same problem with the controller I used before Watir. If I
remember it was caused by the page loading faster than we could detect, so
the wait method is still waiting, as it doesnt realise its already loaded.
This was one of the reasons I wanted to move to an event based system (
which caused way too many problems with IRB)
 
 
If you feel like trying something, in watir.rb in the wait method, try the
following
 
 
                log "wait: readystate=" + @ie.readyState.to_s 

                puts "Readystate = " + @ie.readyState.to_s   # new line
 
                until @ie.readyState == READYSTATE_COMPLETE
                    @pageHasReloaded = true
                    sleep 0.02
                    s.spin
                end
                sleep 0.02
                
                puts "Readystate = " + @ie.readyState.to_s   # new line
                puts "doc Readystate = " + @ie.document.readyState.to_s   #
new line

                until @ie.document.readyState == "complete"
                    sleep 0.02
                    s.spin

                end

       I think there is already a bug in to be able to specify a maximum
wait time

Actually, when I was going back to it earlier today, I couldn't get it to
work in IRB either. I have the same problem whether I'm using button.click
or form.submit. The browser does what I want it to do, but IRB just sits
there with a blank prompt until you hit Ctrl-C.

Running fine in IRB but not in a script strongly indicates a race.  I've
already encountered one of these myself, and I'm brand new to this.  You
might try strategically adding a sleep anywhere you think that javascript
may be altering your html.  Show_all_objects can be used to make sure what
you think is there really is.  (It can also function as the "sleep".)  The
button may not even be part in the real problem.

Hey folks,

I got tired of waiting and wrote a 0.1 version of what I'm calling
WatirMaker. It's puts IE on a string and attempts to record a Watir
script from events. Take a look here
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingWatirMakerRecordingForRubybased
Watir.aspx - there is a flash movie demonstration of what I've
accomplished in a few hours. 

I'd like to get a few people together to take this to a 0.9 release.
Note, though, it's probably less about understanding Watir and more
about understanding COM and the HTMLDocumentEvents2 classes. If you've
got deep COM and IE object model and you're in this group, I'd like to
talk to you. If it's successful the Watir community can have it and
maybe Bret would bless it. ;)

I added alt as a property and included it in the to_s

As to why the typs= 'image' is available. It's a standard property from
IE on input controls, like button, etc. I just continued it on. Maybe
this is something that should be removed?

At some point I think we want to add a elements iterator that goes
through all the items on the page, and I guess having the type available
may help

Subject: image.to_s

I am making unit tests for my methods and I found a bug in watir.

I wanted to display properties of an image. HTML is valid according to
http://validator.w3.org/.

----------
HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head> <title> images </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <p> <img
src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" /> </p> </body> </html>
----------
IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.images.each { |i| puts i.to_s }
----------
OUTPUT:

type:         image
id:
name:
value:
disabled:     false
src:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/zfilipin/My%20Documents/Tests/test
/htm
l/images/flower.png
file date:    07/13/2005
file size:    1252
width:        20
height:       20
----------

Then I added missing id, name, value, and disabled, so img tag is:

<img src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" id="image_id"
name="image_name" value="image_value" disabled="disabled" />
----------
OUTPUT:
...
id:           image_id
name:         image_name
value:        image_value
disabled:     true
...
----------
So where is the bug? My page is no longer valid. I get this error
messages: "there is no attribute name/value/disabled". Even if I change
my page back to html 4.01 I get error messages: "there is no attribute
value/disabled". So, name was once alloved, but value and disabled not
even then. What is the purpose of displaying properties that do not
exist?

Not related to this, but what is purpose of "type: image" in output? Can
it be anything else except image?

Ive just seen Scotts post on the 26th and I think I like his solution
better. - Scott have you tried all the popup windows - file requester,
security etc? What OS did you use?

I seem to remember having problems with one type or one os that required
a new process rather than a thread.

The scripts that handle pop ups are in the unit test directory 

jscriptExtraAlert.rb
jscriptExtraConfirmCancel.rb
jscriptExtraConfirmOk.rb
jscriptPushButton.rb

I suggest we move these to a better location - 

The C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir seems like the best place ( or
maybe another dir below)

We can then maybe add some methods to launch these from watir directly -


ie.launch_js_confirm_clicker()

Or similar. I think this would be one small step to making these popups
easier to deal with.

Any suggestions?

I also tried using the example from the link but didn't get anything

Probably didn't enter the right SMTP.

Would you mind posting an example that worked for you?

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

Nope, just the Javascript alert() type. I'm just learning Ruby, so I don't
know if it's cool or not, but it sure seemed cleaner than fork'ing.

It is/was on XPSP2

Ive just seen Scotts post on the 26th and I think I like his solution
better. - Scott have you tried all the popup windows - file requester,
security etc? What OS did you use?

I seem to remember having problems with one type or one os that required
a new process rather than a thread.

The scripts that handle pop ups are in the unit test directory 

jscriptExtraAlert.rb
jscriptExtraConfirmCancel.rb
jscriptExtraConfirmOk.rb
jscriptPushButton.rb

I suggest we move these to a better location - 

The C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir seems like the best place ( or
maybe another dir below)

We can then maybe add some methods to launch these from watir directly -


ie.launch_js_confirm_clicker()

Or similar. I think this would be one small step to making these popups
easier to deal with.

Any suggestions?

Hi,
Try this..

var1 = 'ghi'
new_string = "abcdef#{var1}jklmnop"

I think you forgot to put the # before the braces and also double quoted string is must for this kind of substitution.

I see this in my one:

Im not sure when it was added, I have watir.rb 1.194

  # This is the main method for accessing a file field. Usually an
<input type = file> HTML tag.  
        #  *  how   - symbol - how we access the field , :index, :id,

        # Typical Usage
        #
        #    ie.file_field(:id,   'up_1')                     # access
the file upload field with an ID of up_1

Subject: image.to_s

I am making unit tests for my methods and I found a bug in watir.

I wanted to display properties of an image. HTML is valid according to
http://validator.w3.org/.

----------
HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head> <title> images </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <p> <img
src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" /> </p> </body> </html>
----------
IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.images.each { |i| puts i.to_s }
----------
OUTPUT:

type:         image
id:
name:
value:
disabled:     false
src:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/zfilipin/My%20Documents/Tests/test
/htm
l/images/flower.png
file date:    07/13/2005
file size:    1252
width:        20
height:       20
----------

Then I added missing id, name, value, and disabled, so img tag is:

<img src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" id="image_id"
name="image_name" value="image_value" disabled="disabled" />
----------
OUTPUT:
...
id:           image_id
name:         image_name
value:        image_value
disabled:     true
...
----------
So where is the bug? My page is no longer valid. I get this error
messages: "there is no attribute name/value/disabled". Even if I change
my page back to html 4.01 I get error messages: "there is no attribute
value/disabled". So, name was once alloved, but value and disabled not
even then. What is the purpose of displaying properties that do not
exist?

Not related to this, but what is purpose of "type: image" in output? Can
it be anything else except image?

I have tried "new and improved" image.to_s and "brand new" ie.file_fields
and they work just fine! :)

But...

Why "value" and "disabled" are not removed from image.to_s? Is there any
reason that it should be there?

Subject: image.to_s

I am making unit tests for my methods and I found a bug in watir.

I wanted to display properties of an image. HTML is valid according to
http://validator.w3.org/.

----------
HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head> <title> images </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <p> <img
src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" /> </p> </body> </html>
----------
IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.images.each { |i| puts i.to_s }
----------
OUTPUT:

type:         image
id:
name:
value:
disabled:     false
src:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/zfilipin/My%20Documents/Tests/test
/htm
l/images/flower.png
file date:    07/13/2005
file size:    1252
width:        20
height:       20
----------

Then I added missing id, name, value, and disabled, so img tag is:

<img src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" id="image_id"
name="image_name" value="image_value" disabled="disabled" />
----------
OUTPUT:
...
id:           image_id
name:         image_name
value:        image_value
disabled:     true
...
----------
So where is the bug? My page is no longer valid. I get this error
messages: "there is no attribute name/value/disabled". Even if I change
my page back to html 4.01 I get error messages: "there is no attribute
value/disabled". So, name was once alloved, but value and disabled not
even then. What is the purpose of displaying properties that do not
exist?

Not related to this, but what is purpose of "type: image" in output? Can
it be anything else except image?

This is something that should work. If it does not work, let me know.

require 'net/smtp'
Net::SMTP.start( 'your.smtp.server', 25, 'mail.from.domain', 'Your Account',
'Your Password', :plain) do |smtp|
	smtp.send_message	"From: Your Name <your at mail.address>\nTo:

message",

Thanks for the good link, Zeljko.

I also tried using the example from the link but didn't get anything
through.

Probably didn't enter the right SMTP.

Would you mind posting an example that worked for you?

Thanks!

I got the same error when I first ran it.  I changed the case of .send
to .Send and it worked and continues to work.  You might try retyping
that line yourself making sure our capitalize .Send.  I know it
shouldn't matter but sometimes it does.  I also ran it line by line in
IRB and could see where it was really bombing-that is where changing the
case of .Send worked first.

 

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Mark. I did find CDOEX.DLL  on my machine, so I copied your code
and ran it, but got this error:

    HRESULT error code:0x80020009

      Exception occurred.       from C:/watir/watir/email2.rb:20

 

Here is my code:

include Watir

require 'win32ole'

cdoMail = WIN32OLE.new("CDO.Message")

 

cdoMail.From = "test at mscibarra.com"

cdoMail.To = "tuyet.ctn at mscibarra.com "

cdoMail.Subject = "This is a test"

cdoMail.TextBody = "This is a test"

cdoMail.Send

cdoMail = nil

It uses some pretty hairy COM Interop ConnectionPoint/EventSink stuff.

Hi! What's the best approach to know if the explorer has finished
loading. sometimes, 1 sec is not enough. it depends. What's the best way
to do this? Pls look at the code below.

      w.winsystem("start explorer #{thread_number}_#{i}.html ")
      sleep(1)
      $ie_array[i] = IE.attach(:title , "#{thread_number}_#{i}" )

if the html is not yet loaded, attach will fail unable to locate object

Ive just looked at the docs and value isnt supported on images, but
disabled is.
"Sets or retrieves the value that indicates whether the user can
interact with the object." from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/img.as
p?frame=true


I suspect that it would be used like this ( I havent tried it, pure
speculation)
<img src='pic.gif' disabled=disabled onClick='javascript:somestuff();'>

So when the disabled is set to true, the onClick would be ignored.

I added alt as a property and included it in the to_s

As to why the typs= 'image' is available. It's a standard property from
IE on input controls, like button, etc. I just continued it on. Maybe
this is something that should be removed?

At some point I think we want to add a elements iterator that goes
through all the items on the page, and I guess having the type available
may help

Subject: image.to_s

I am making unit tests for my methods and I found a bug in watir.

I wanted to display properties of an image. HTML is valid according to
http://validator.w3.org/.

----------
HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head> <title> images </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <p> <img
src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" /> </p> </body> </html>
----------
IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.images.each { |i| puts i.to_s }
----------
OUTPUT:

type:         image
id:
name:
value:
disabled:     false
src:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/zfilipin/My%20Documents/Tests/test
/htm
l/images/flower.png
file date:    07/13/2005
file size:    1252
width:        20
height:       20
----------

Then I added missing id, name, value, and disabled, so img tag is:

<img src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" id="image_id"
name="image_name" value="image_value" disabled="disabled" />
----------
OUTPUT:
...
id:           image_id
name:         image_name
value:        image_value
disabled:     true
...
----------
So where is the bug? My page is no longer valid. I get this error
messages: "there is no attribute name/value/disabled". Even if I change
my page back to html 4.01 I get error messages: "there is no attribute
value/disabled". So, name was once alloved, but value and disabled not
even then. What is the purpose of displaying properties that do not
exist?

Not related to this, but what is purpose of "type: image" in output? Can
it be anything else except image?

This was the case, and Ive added a unit test for disabled images.

Ive just looked at the docs and value isnt supported on images, but
disabled is. "Sets or retrieves the value that indicates whether the
user can interact with the object." from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/img.as
p?frame=true


I suspect that it would be used like this ( I havent tried it, pure
speculation)
<img src='pic.gif' disabled=disabled onClick='javascript:somestuff();'>

So when the disabled is set to true, the onClick would be ignored.

I have tried "new and improved" image.to_s and "brand new"
ie.file_fields and they work just fine! :)

But...

Why "value" and "disabled" are not removed from image.to_s? Is there any
reason that it should be there?

Unit tests report this failures (I think they were reported also the
last time I installed watir, but I forgot to report it then):

  1) Failure:

Thanks again.
About "type: image" - after I thought about it, I also think it should
not be removed.

I added alt as a property and included it in the to_s

As to why the typs= 'image' is available. It's a standard property from
IE on input controls, like button, etc. I just continued it on. Maybe
this is something that should be removed?

At some point I think we want to add a elements iterator that goes
through all the items on the page, and I guess having the type available
may help

Subject: image.to_s

I am making unit tests for my methods and I found a bug in watir.

I wanted to display properties of an image. HTML is valid according to
http://validator.w3.org/.

----------
HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head> <title> images </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <p> <img
src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" /> </p> </body> </html>
----------
IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.images.each { |i| puts i.to_s }
----------
OUTPUT:

type:         image
id:
name:
value:
disabled:     false
src:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/zfilipin/My%20Documents/Tests/test
/htm
l/images/flower.png
file date:    07/13/2005
file size:    1252
width:        20
height:       20
----------

Then I added missing id, name, value, and disabled, so img tag is:

<img src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" id="image_id"
name="image_name" value="image_value" disabled="disabled" />
----------
OUTPUT:
...
id:           image_id
name:         image_name
value:        image_value
disabled:     true
...
----------
So where is the bug? My page is no longer valid. I get this error
messages: "there is no attribute name/value/disabled". Even if I change
my page back to html 4.01 I get error messages: "there is no attribute
value/disabled". So, name was once alloved, but value and disabled not
even then. What is the purpose of displaying properties that do not
exist?

Not related to this, but what is purpose of "type: image" in output? Can
it be anything else except image?

In any event, the problem is not that Watir can't locate or click the

	There's no reason why it couldn't be written in Ruby, no?

			Hey folks,
			
			I got tired of waiting and wrote a 0.1 version
of what I'm calling WatirMaker. It's puts IE on a string and attempts to
record a Watir script from events. Take a look here
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingWatirMakerRecordingForRubybased
Watir.aspx - there is a flash movie demonstration of what I've
accomplished in a few hours. 
			
			I'd like to get a few people together to take
this to a 0.9 release. Note, though, it's probably less about
understanding Watir and more about understanding COM and the
HTMLDocumentEvents2 classes. If you've got deep COM and IE object model
and you're in this group, I'd like to talk to you. If it's successful
the Watir community can have it and maybe Bret would bless it. ;)

Thanks Zeljko.  I copied your code and made the appropriate changes and got
this error.

Is this a security issue from the SMTP server that I sent the email to?

 

C:\watir\watir>email.rb

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:83:in `initialize': No connection could
be

made because the target machine actively refused it. - connect(2)

        from C:/watir/watir/email.rb:21

 

Here is my code:

 

require 'net/smtp'

Net::SMTP.start( 'ISIS', 25, 'msci', 'tuyet', 'password', :plain) do |smtp|

smtp.send_message "From: Tuyet <tuyet.ctn at mscibarra.com>\nTo: Destination

                                                'tuyet.ctn at mscibarra.com',

                                                'tuyet.ctn at mscibarra.com'

 end

I have the same problem and was going to post this, so thanks Jan for doing
it first.

I use sleep statements but have to tweak the time because it varies how long
it takes to load the page.

I hope the fix will be in the next release.  I use a lot of attach
statements and the scripts fail if there isn't enough time.

OK, I figured out why it didn't work, the SMTP name was wrong.  But it's
working now.

Here is the code that worked:

 

require 'net/smtp'

msgstr = "This is a test email message"

 

# using block form of SMTP.start

    Net::SMTP.start('isis.msci.com', 25) do |smtp|

      smtp.send_message msgstr, "tuyet.ctn at mscibarra.com",
["tuyet.ctn at mscibarra.com", "tuyet.ctn at mscibarra.com"]

    end

    

Thanks!

Hey I remember someone told me where to get the tarball of the latest

Does the current fix support "value" for radio buttons yet?

Ive just looked at the docs and value isnt supported on images, but
disabled is. "Sets or retrieves the value that indicates whether the
user can interact with the object." from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/img.as
p?frame=true


I suspect that it would be used like this ( I havent tried it, pure
speculation)
<img src='pic.gif' disabled=disabled onClick='javascript:somestuff();'>

So when the disabled is set to true, the onClick would be ignored.

I have tried "new and improved" image.to_s and "brand new"

Why "value" and "disabled" are not removed from image.to_s? Is there any

About "type: image" - after I thought about it, I also think it should

I added alt as a property and included it in the to_s

As to why the typs= 'image' is available. It's a standard property from
IE on input controls, like button, etc. I just continued it on. Maybe
this is something that should be removed?

At some point I think we want to add a elements iterator that goes
through all the items on the page, and I guess having the type available
may help

Subject: image.to_s

I am making unit tests for my methods and I found a bug in watir.

I wanted to display properties of an image. HTML is valid according to
http://validator.w3.org/.

----------
HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head> <title> images </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <p> <img
src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" /> </p> </body> </html>
----------
IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.images.each { |i| puts i.to_s }
----------
OUTPUT:

type:         image
id:
name:
value:
disabled:     false
src:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/zfilipin/My%20Documents/Tests/test
/htm
l/images/flower.png
file date:    07/13/2005
file size:    1252
width:        20
height:       20
----------

Then I added missing id, name, value, and disabled, so img tag is:

<img src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" id="image_id"
name="image_name" value="image_value" disabled="disabled" />
----------
OUTPUT:
...
id:           image_id
name:         image_name
value:        image_value
disabled:     true
...
----------
So where is the bug? My page is no longer valid. I get this error
messages: "there is no attribute name/value/disabled". Even if I change
my page back to html 4.01 I get error messages: "there is no attribute
value/disabled". So, name was once alloved, but value and disabled not
even then. What is the purpose of displaying properties that do not
exist?

Not related to this, but what is purpose of "type: image" in output? Can
it be anything else except image?

Message-ID: <0FDF67DB50EC904AAEA1B2A83A281050013A8B03@mail.orion.internal>

Hello All,
 
I've been having fun working with/evaluating WATIR and its looking pretty good. But our products have quite a few modal dialogs. I've got a simple ok,cancel dialog with the title "Microsoft Internet Explorer" to work with 
 
Thread.new { sleep 0.1; WindowHelper.new.push_confirm_button_ok }
 
but on a more complex model dialog I haven't been able to even get the cancel button to work yet.
 
I suspect its because the name of the pop up window is "New Document Details Selection -- Web Page Dialog" instead of "Microsoft Internet Explorer".
 
This modal dialog that I'm trying to automate has three select lists. The third one is disabled until specific items have been selected from the first two select lists. It then has a text box that holds a date (automatically filled so don't care about this for now), and OK and Cancel buttons.
 
WindowHelper doesn't have any methods for setting values in select lists or for grabbing pop ups that are not titled "Microsoft Internet Explorer". What do I need to do to get this to work. I've had a bit of a look at autoit and presume I need to add some code into WinHelper.rb. I've only been using WATIR and Ruby for about a week though.
 
Thanks,
Tim

Hey Scott,
 
WatirMaker looks really cool.
I'm happy to do some testing of the app if you want.
I don't have .NET installed though so I'd need an executable file.
 
Cheers,

Dang.  I was operating on the assumption that it was written in Ruby.  

 

There's no reason why it couldn't be written in Ruby, no?

		Hey folks,
		
		I got tired of waiting and wrote a 0.1 version of what I'm calling WatirMaker. It's puts IE on a string and attempts to record a Watir script from events. Take a look here http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingWatirMakerRecordingForRubybasedWatir.aspx - there is a flash movie demonstration of what I've accomplished in a few hours. 
		
		I'd like to get a few people together to take this to a 0.9 release. Note, though, it's probably less about understanding Watir and more about understanding COM and the HTMLDocumentEvents2 classes. If you've got deep COM and IE object model and you're in this group, I'd like to talk to you. If it's successful the Watir community can have it and maybe Bret would bless it. ;)

Watir cant access these modal dialogs, various people have tried
diferent things. Maybe you can do something with auto-it - I personally
havent tried. If you get some code working, please post it to the list

It may well be an IE extension, although the docs (

Ive just looked at the docs and value isnt supported on images, but
disabled is. "Sets or retrieves the value that indicates whether the
user can interact with the object." from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/img.as
p?frame=true


I suspect that it would be used like this ( I havent tried it, pure
speculation)
<img src='pic.gif' disabled=disabled onClick='javascript:somestuff();'>

So when the disabled is set to true, the onClick would be ignored.

I have tried "new and improved" image.to_s and "brand new"
ie.file_fields and they work just fine! :)

But...

Why "value" and "disabled" are not removed from image.to_s? Is there any
reason that it should be there?

Unit tests report this failures (I think they were reported also the
last time I installed watir, but I forgot to report it then):

Thanks again.
About "type: image" - after I thought about it, I also think it should
not be removed.

I added alt as a property and included it in the to_s

As to why the typs= 'image' is available. It's a standard property from
IE on input controls, like button, etc. I just continued it on. Maybe
this is something that should be removed?

At some point I think we want to add a elements iterator that goes
through all the items on the page, and I guess having the type available
may help

Subject: image.to_s

I am making unit tests for my methods and I found a bug in watir.

I wanted to display properties of an image. HTML is valid according to
http://validator.w3.org/.

----------
HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head> <title> images </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <p> <img
src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" /> </p> </body> </html>
----------
IRB:

irb
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
ie.images.each { |i| puts i.to_s }
----------
OUTPUT:

type:         image
id:
name:
value:
disabled:     false
src:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/zfilipin/My%20Documents/Tests/test
/htm
l/images/flower.png
file date:    07/13/2005
file size:    1252
width:        20
height:       20
----------

Then I added missing id, name, value, and disabled, so img tag is:

<img src="images/flower.png" alt="flower" id="image_id"
name="image_name" value="image_value" disabled="disabled" />
----------
OUTPUT:
...
id:           image_id
name:         image_name
value:        image_value
disabled:     true
...
----------
So where is the bug? My page is no longer valid. I get this error
messages: "there is no attribute name/value/disabled". Even if I change
my page back to html 4.01 I get error messages: "there is no attribute
value/disabled". So, name was once alloved, but value and disabled not
even then. What is the purpose of displaying properties that do not
exist?

Not related to this, but what is purpose of "type: image" in output? Can
it be anything else except image?

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD3447109A99A1@iris.win.barra.com>

I am able to see that this 3rd  table has 10 columns and 24 rows.

irb(main):122:0> puts frame1.table(:index, 3).column_count

10

=> nil

irb(main):123:0> puts frame1.table(:index, 3).row_count

24

=> nil

 

How do I get the value of each cell for every row and every column?

Here are some things I've tried:

 

irb(main):127:0> puts frame1.table(:index, 3)[3].value

=> nil

(there should have been some value here)

 

irb(main):094:0> puts frame1.table(:index, 3)[24]

type:

id:

name:

value:

disabled:     false

=> nil

 

Why is value and name blank here?

I've been trying to understand this all better myself and once i do, i 
think i want to rework the code that we have so that users don't have to 
think about threads or processes -- that really should be handled by the tool.

Like i said, i'm still trying to track down all the facts -- but at this 
point it seems to me that WindowHelper (and thus AutoIT) can be called from 
the same process (different thread) wheras winclicker needs to be in a 
separate process. True?

Ive been doing the same. I posted some code to deal with file Requesters
around the 15th June. It seems this one needs to be in a separate
process. I'll need to do some more testing to be really sure. I think
there may also be differences between win xp and win 2k

I haven't tried AutoIT but WinClicker works _only_ when called from a 
separate process.

W are currently in the process of migrating a fairly large set of testcases
from Quicktest pro to Watir. The job also involves converting the objects
that Quicktest uses into an equivalent that Watir could use. We are using
Quicktests's descriptive programming model and Qantom.org's XML
Repository. We plan to be ready with a framework that will allow Watir
to use the XML repository by Mid-August time frame. Once ready, using
objects in Watir will be more managable. For example a script to search
for watir in google would be:

Repository("MainBrowser").goto "http://www.google.com"
Repository("google_search_edit").set "Watir"
Repository("google_search_btn").click

To take a quick look at how the XML Repository works for Quicktest(also
a sneak preview of what's coming up for Watir), please visit
    http://qantom.shubharaghu.com/html/dor_parser.html
and read through the tutorials page.

Thanks
Raghu

I haven't been able to select any items in the list, send a down to move down the opened drop down list or click the OK or Cancel button. AU3Info.exe tells me that the pop up is a TridentDlgFrame.

Watir cant access these modal dialogs, various people have tried diferent things. Maybe you can do something with auto-it - I personally havent tried. If you get some code working, please post it to the list

	Hello All,
	 
	I've been having fun working with/evaluating WATIR and its looking pretty good. But our products have quite a few modal dialogs. I've got a simple ok,cancel dialog with the title "Microsoft Internet Explorer" to work with 
	 
	Thread.new { sleep 0.1; WindowHelper.new.push_confirm_button_ok }
	 
	but on a more complex model dialog I haven't been able to even get the cancel button to work yet.
	 
	I suspect its because the name of the pop up window is "New Document Details Selection -- Web Page Dialog" instead of "Microsoft Internet Explorer".
	 
	This modal dialog that I'm trying to automate has three select lists. The third one is disabled until specific items have been selected from the first two select lists. It then has a text box that holds a date (automatically filled so don't care about this for now), and OK and Cancel buttons.
	 
	WindowHelper doesn't have any methods for setting values in select lists or for grabbing pop ups that are not titled "Microsoft Internet Explorer". What do I need to do to get this to work. I've had a bit of a look at autoit and presume I need to add some code into WinHelper.rb. I've only been using WATIR and Ruby for about a week though.
	 
	Thanks,
	Tim

Text displayed near radio button is not really property of radio button, it
is just some text in the near.

But, in this case you can get all text from the cell with radio buttons like
this (this is irb output)

irb(main):014:0> ie.table(:index,1)[1][2].to_s
=> "Stepper  C/D"

You can split this text into array:

irb(main):015:0> ie.table(:index,1)[1][2].to_s.split
=> ["Stepper", "C/D"]

This will give you text near first and second radio button:

irb(main):018:0> ie.table(:index,1)[1][2].to_s.split[0]
=> "Stepper"
irb(main):017:0> ie.table(:index,1)[1][2].to_s.split[1]
=> "C/D"

Not an elegant solution, but it is a start. I hope it helps.

Zeljko

Hey,

I got the latest version of watir from the tarball (thanks Zeljko).  I
currently have a page that has 3 radio buttons..here's the html:

<input type=radio name=AssociateWith value=Outlet
<input type=radio name=AssociateWith value=WebSite>
<input type=radio name=AssociateWith value=Distributor>


when I do: 

ie.radios.each do|r|
puts r
end

I get the error:  WIN32OLERuntimeError: Unknown property or method `value'

if I just do a puts r.name I get blanks. 

Is there a current fix for this?

Shao

Check your HTML. The first line is missing a closing '>'.

Actually it's not missing, I just deleted it by mistake :)  I deleted
extra stuff since the radios are inside a table.  Here I'll put the
exact html here :)



<table cellSpacing=5 cellPadding=0>

<tr><td><input type=radio name=AssociateWith
value=Outlet></td><td>Associate with an Outlet</td></tr>
<tr><td><input type=radio name=AssociateWith
value=WebSite></td><td>Associate with a WebSite</td></tr>
<tr><td><input type=radio name=AssociateWith
value=Distributor></td><td>Associate with a Distributor</td></tr>

I'm following the steps to install watir from here:

...I'm assuming I don't have to delete the existing folder in order to
install on top of it?  Seems like I'm not the only one to get this

same error too...Anything specific I need to do that's probably not

just did it today.

I think this error means the installer couldn't find an rdoc directory
to install. Is there an rdoc dir in the tarball?

If you just create an rdoc directory it should work. I'll add a bug to
the tracker to fix the installer

In a previous release some one else reported errors on radio buttons,
something to do with value. I had never been able to reporuce, but the
latest refactoring from bret has a rescue around the value, so it should
return an empty string. 

What os, browser version are you using?

the tarball is a download of the latest code. ITs whats currently in
cvs. There may be changes/bug fixes when the release is done. And the
docs wont have been included. Since there is no compling etc it should
generally be safe to use. There have been times when code that didnt
work got checked in to cvs ( im certainly guily of that)
 
If you feel comfortable with ruby/watir go ahead and download, if you
are a bit unsure , wait for the release.
 
Paul

A tarball is a compressed file, like a zip file.  The Watir user guide
explains how to get a new tarball in the "Installation" section:

http://wtr.rubyforge.org/watir_user_guide.html


Latest Version


This is the latest version that is currently being worked on by the Watir
development team. It is on the cutting edge, so it may have problems that
haven't been fixed yet, or partially completed new features. Unless you
really want the latest and greatest version, it is recommended to use a
regular Watir release.

Download the Watir tarball from the WTR RubyForge
<http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/watir/?cvsroot=wtr>  site (click
download tarball). Unzip the watir tarball to a working directory (ex. C:\).
You will now have a watir folder containing the source code, unit tests,
examples and documentation.

The Download Tarball link is at the bottom of the page.

 

-Jonathan

Ok all's in working order now :)

I'm using Windows XP and IE version 6.0.2900.2180

Actually, the value works fine for radios now (at least for this
page).  I'm even able to do:

ie.radio(:value, "someVal").set

Thanks a bunch :)

Thanks Paul and Jonathan for the explanation.

I did find the section that talked about tarball in the Watir User Guide.

I have another important demo coming up next week,

So I think I will wait until after that to download the latest code.

Appreciate the info.

Hi... 
     After reading about the problems with ie.radio() after installing
the release version of Watir, I think there may be a problem with the
latest versioned Watir installation.
     A colleague installed Watir this week on a clean XP machine and
it was wacky.  Files in the wrong place, stuff missing, etc.   The
main symptom was an error on ie.radio().set.
     To fix it, I downloaded from CVS head and ran that install.rb,
and all was good.
     I don't think I've ever installed a released Water-- I always
grab it from the head of CVS.  And I don't really have a machine to do
install testing on-- does anyone else?

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD3447109A9A89@iris.win.barra.com>

I don't know how to get back to irb when it gives me this message:

Terminate batch job Y/N?

It doesn't matter if I say Y or N, it terminates irb and sends me back to
the command prompt which is not what I want when

I select N.  I want to be able to get back to the irb command line and
continue on with my debugging.

How do I do that?  It's tiring to retype all the irb commands again to get
to where I need to test.

Maybe there is a better of doing this that I don't know about.  Your
suggestions are appreciated.

You could keep a script handy that gets you to roughly where you want to go, run it, open IRB and attach to the window that the script opened.

the code in irb is something like this

ie = IE.new(true)               # the true tells it to not open an IE window
ie.attach_init("WindowTitle")   # whatever the title of your window is

then just carry on testing.

I and three other guys at work installed the latest release about a week and a half ago and haven't had any troubles. We are all on XP SP2.

Hi... 
     After reading about the problems with ie.radio() after installing
the release version of Watir, I think there may be a problem with the
latest versioned Watir installation.
     A colleague installed Watir this week on a clean XP machine and
it was wacky.  Files in the wrong place, stuff missing, etc.   The
main symptom was an error on ie.radio().set.
     To fix it, I downloaded from CVS head and ran that install.rb,
and all was good.
     I don't think I've ever installed a released Water-- I always
grab it from the head of CVS.  And I don't really have a machine to do
install testing on-- does anyone else?

The "terminate batch job Y/N" is not a part of irb itself, that's a 
Windows thing. I believe the Windows installer for Ruby (which is not 
part of the official Ruby release, but a separate project) creates this 
batch file to make launching irb a simpler thing to do. The underlying 
problem in your case is figuring out why irb is terminating suddenly. 
Once you get the prompt to terminate the batch job or not, irb is 
already lost, which is why answering N does no good. If you can figure 
out what sort of steps lead to this behavior and post them here or to 
the Ruby list, maybe you can get some better assistance.

Subject: [Wtr-general] away at the agile conference
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050730172225.02eaf720@127.0.0.1>

I've been mostly offline last week, while at that Agile Conference in 
Denver. I'm catching up on the week's email. Here's my report:

Agile Conference Report

I just got back from the Agile Conference in Denver. I taught a
tutorial on Watir and hosted a workshop on agile acceptance testing
tools. I had been worried about the tutorial. My original co-presenter
had cancelled and the conference had been sold out. I was expecting 50
people in a hands on class that i normally require having another
assitant for every additional 12 people. But actually, it worked out.

Well, one reason was simply that many of the people who had signed up
for the tutorial didn't get the word that they had to bring a
laptop. Some ran back to their hotels to get it. (The conference hotel
had sold-out so most attendees were staying in other downtown hotels.)
But the actual number of attendees turned out to be about 30.

But the main reason that it went well was because i had a lot of last
minute volunteers to help out. I was running into Watir users left and
right at the conference and many of them volunteered to help out with
the class. In fact, i had more volunteers than i needed.

I was really surprised by how many people were using Watir. I also got
a chance to sit down with Elisabeth Hendrickson and see some of the
neat extensions and adjustments that she had made to Watir. I'm
looking forward to getting those into the distribution.

I also hosted a workshop on agile acceptance testing tools with Tim
Wall. We had a lot of Fit users and a lot of discussions about how to
use Fit. One big issue was how to get developers to write Fixtures. A
hot seller at the conference bookstore was the new Fit book. It's very
good and i'll be posting a more detailed review of it soon. Fit has
definitely become a force that is changing how people think about
automating testing.

The other big topic was how to handle the maintenance of test
suites. Strategies ranged from creating abstractions for your tests to
avoiding testing the GUI entirely. Not necessarily new ideas in
themselves, but it was interesting to see how thoroughly these ideas
have become embedded in the agile testing community.

Anyhow, we talked about other things as well, and decided to continue
the conversation on a new mailing list (soon to be set up) called
Agile Testing Tools.

During the tutorial, one of the students asked how they could access a

things that i thought would work, but they didn't -- very
embarrassing.

Before we do this, i'd like to see all the iterators bound to Watir 
objects, rather than COM objects. And that means that first we would need 
to support

ie.element(:name, 'foo').click

which would click on the first element (of any type) with the name 'foo'.

This week, Elisabeth Hendrickson showed me some cool stuff that essentially 
would depend on this kind of functionality.

We need to document this as a limitation of Watir.

Is there anyone else trying to use Watir with IE 5.0 or earlier?

Dozens of people have installed and used 1.3.1 successfully. It's been out 
for months. It has been tested extensively.

If you can give us more information about the problem, we can look into it.

There has been a report that it doesn't install correctly when the HomeDir 
is something other than C: -- could that be your friend's situation?

Hi All,

I was explaining to my friend about Watir and its nice capabilities.
In the middle of the conversation he asked me as to why Watir uses
Ruby, which is not as well known as Perl, Python or other scripting
languages. Is there a special reason why Ruby is being used or is
just incidental.

Thanks

Bret sums it up nicely here:
http://www.io.com/~wazmo/blog/archives/2004_08.html#000221
Bret will be able to explain things better than I can.

Bret Pettichord and Brian Marick are really responsible for bringing Ruby
into the forefront in the testing community. If it weren't for them, I
probably wouldn't have tried Ruby. 

>From my point of view, Ruby has a nice object model, and is a language that
non-programmers seem to find intuitive to learn. That makes it ideal for
teaching testers programming basics. 

For example, my wife is a non-programmer and finds Ruby's looping constructs
make sense. She looks at the C-style "for" loop and says it looks like a
complication of a simple concept. Perl looks like gibberish to her compared
to using objects and messages in Ruby. Perl, Python and Ruby are all
powerful languages with strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the day, it
probably boils down to personal preference and what your goals are with a
language. 

My goal with Ruby is to script what I can to help me in computer-assisted
testing. Ruby fits that need. I also enjoy teaching programming basics to
testers using Ruby. It works well, and I can express ideas in Ruby in a way
that is intuitive for me. Non-programming testers seem to respond to the
language when learning, and I enjoy seeing eyes light up when a tester
discovers something new and expresses it with a programming language.

Perl encourages cryptic code, which makes it a bad choice. It also lacks an 
interactive shell.

Python could work. Ruby was Brian Marick's choice and he was convinced to 
switch from Python to Ruby when he sat with Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt on a bus.

The way i read this thread, the problem is that IE#wait() doesn't return 
until the page has stopped loading but the AOL page has continuously 
loading frames. Correct?

Oh! Being a devote Ruby hacker, I don't even want to imagine the 
possibilities of that bus ride not happening... :)

Seriously though, the Python vs Ruby theme is rehashed once in a while 
on ruby-talk and in other forums. The general consensus seems that 
qualities of both languages are quite similar to each other, and a 
choice between the two is a subjective choice more than anything else. 
In other words, there are many enough people who strongly prefer Ruby 
over Python (and vice versa), but they have a hard time try to explain 
the reason. :)

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
Raghu

yep, the ready_state never gets to READYSTATE_COMPLET

its sits at the first state, 'loading' (or similar) I suspect its the iframes continually updating themseleves that causes it.
