Hi Nathan,

You can get the code for Firewatir for
http://www.code.google.com/p/firewatir/trunk using any sub version client.
It works with Firefox 1.5 and above versions. The execution speed which was
the problem earlier has been resolved. Now execution speed has improved a
lot. Comparable to using Watir with IE.

Let me know you exprience/doubts/queries/suggestions regarding the same.
Currently it doesn't support forms, frames, table row and table cells.

Regards,
Angrez

Hi Damu,

File is invalid because windows can not find it. Make sure that you provide
full path to file, something like this:

ie.fileField(:name, "avatar").set('C:\damu.txt')

Hello All,

I have been looking at using WATIR over the past couple of days, and have designed a couple of tests, however, in certain tests, if an assertion is not true, then I want to jump to another point in my script.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Just say if instead of assert.

However, terms like "jump", "skipping tests", and "assertion is not true" 
make us wonder if your tests are narrow, encapsulated, robust, and isolated.

If your tests are run-on, if they walk the program thru many of its states, 
then your tests are not helping to decouple your code.

Are most of your tests on the layer under the GUI?

PMF,

I'm not sure if I followed the question completely, so straighten me out if I'm off...

My first thought here would be to simply use the assertion to set a flag, and drive your others tests off of that flag by wrapping the body of the test in a simple if statement. 

A cleaner way to do this, though, would be with method calls like this:

class SampleTests < Test::Unit::TestCase

 def test_mytest1
    if assert(Something)
         whentrue 
    else
         whenfalse
    end
  end

 def whentrue
     #do stuff when the assertion passes
 end

 def whenfalse
     #do stuff when the assertion fails
 end
end

If the method name isn't preceded with "test", then it won't automatically be run and instead will need to be called. This should give you the flexibility you're looking for.

That is kind of what I mean, however in my case this would lead to a lot of repeated code.

Test1

Action2
Action3
Action4
Action5
(else)
Action4
Action5

I have been thinking about a goto(Action4) which works, but as my code is sequential, it follows Action4 with Action2, Action3, and Action4 again

Message-ID: <49873969.1164986579868.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Hello people,

I have got to check whether images present in a table are enabled or disabled.  I am not even very sure whether they are images.  Their "html content: is like the following:

<td class="tab_enabled"><img class="tab" src="/iam/images/tab_left_inactive.png"></td>
<td class="tab_enabled" background="/iam/images/tab_inactive_bg.png"></td><td class="tab_enabled_label" background="/iam/images/tab_inactive_bg.png" class="tab_enabled">
<a class="tab_enabled" href="javascript:formSubmit('summary');">Step&nbsp;1.&nbsp;Details</a>
</td>

Is there a way that I can check whether this image (or link or label) is enabled or not?

Thanks, in advance,
Vijay

I understand what you mean now.

Thanks for the help.

When the test fails, I just call one of the later methods, which misses out on all the methods that are used when the test is successful.

Hi Fletch,

for Your example:

if Test1 == true
begin
  Action2
  Action3
end
Action4
Action5

The actions 4 & 5 are executed always, no matter if the result of Test1 
is true or false...

To avoid repeated code: What?s about modularisation? Like 
methods/functions? Have a look at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity_(programming) or ask google.

Regards,
Christian

In-Reply-To: <456F4C7C.50901@tejasconsulting.com>
Message-ID: <49316765.1164999242017.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

So I haven't rejected Firewatir, rather I have not been able to find any new info on it, and as far as the site here goes, it appears to have been abandoned.  I'd like very much to use it and develop it more if necessary.  We would like a good way to test in Firefox and Safari that isn't proprietary, and free if possible.  One difficulty in our experience, though it is a good thing, is that only Microsoft products are bound to putting OLE/COM servers in their products, so as Firefox and Safari don't have these things, I'll need to rely on a plugin.  I am not opposed to plugins to do the job.  Quick Test Pro after all uses a plugin to automate both Firefox and IE, but it has no support for Safari, and it's pretty costly for what we get.  Also it doesn't do everything we want it to do.  The one thing I want to completely avoid though is recompiling a browser just so we can test on it - a plugin is something everyone can get and use, but recompiling the browser voids our tests in our mind.  If it works here or doesn't work here when we've recompiled the browser, then we cannot guarantee even similar results to people who use a precompiled browser.  We're a professional business and we need to guarantee our product and have reproducible results.  I disagree that automating something "always has the potential to perturb the results" as you put it.  If that were indeed the case then automation would not be as common as it is, and more people would be more reluctant to pursue it.

Thanks for the insight,

Nathan

Thanks for the link to the code.  I just downloaded it and tried to install jssh to no avail - it doesn't work.  First of all the installation doc is completely wrong about what I install, because that's not what I downloaded.  So I manually copied those files over to my firefox install directory and I installed the firewatir gem and all of the unittests fail.

Any suggestions then?

Have you actually used Firewatir, or are you just telling me where to get it?

Thanks,  need more info,

Nathan

Vijay,

It is hard to tell what, exactly, you are looking for without an
example of what an "enabled" object looks like *and* what a "disabled"
object looks like.

However, it looks to me like Watir 1.5.1.1127 supports the following
methods for every object on a web-page:

exists?
enabled?
attribute_value(attribute_name)

I think at least one of these can be used to solve your problem.

Ethan

For Safari, the first thing I would try is AppleScript.  There's a 
decent chance that Safari is already scriptable using AppleScript, and 
any other language that has a bridge to the same interfaces that 
AppleScript uses.

> I disagree that automating something "always has the potential to perturb the results" as you put it.  

We can reduce our exposure to that potential by being careful about our 
approach.  So there are a good number of automation projects that do 
succeed, when people are smart about using the tools.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Extreme slowdown moving from 1.4.1 to 1.5.1.1127
Message-ID: <212711160612011226i1948fc33mac83f91ad23c2ee8@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All, I've read through the archives I could find relating to performance
issues related to 1.5 but I didn't see any concrete solutions or reasons why
the slowdown is occurring. Running an existing script using the profiler my
execution time goes from 170 seconds to 425 seconds. Looking at the profiler
output I notice the following:

WIN32OLE#each is the top consumer in both profiles. In 1.5 it's taking
70.15seconds vs
59.19 in 1.4. Not a huge jump, but noticeable when running 100+ cases.

WIN32OLE#invoke is the number 2 consumer in both profiles taking
64.85seconds in
1.5 but only 25.69 seconds in 1.4. This is obviously quite significant.

Beyond the top two, the next highest in 1.4 is Logger#add taking just over
12 seconds. However, in 1.5 I see seven additional methods taking 20 seconds
or longer. The biggest hogs are Watir::Element#type at 62.64 seconds,
Class#new at 42.49 seconds, Watir::Element#assert_exists at 41.68 seconds
and Array#include? at 39.47 seconds.

I'm at a loss here. I'm running these tests on the same machine with the
same version of Ruby. I originally wanted to upgrade for the click_no_wait
functionality and modal dialog functionality but I can't take this kind of a
performance hit. Is there something obvious I'm missing? I did notice the
slowdown appears to be significant on pages with lots of controls. At this
point I'm probably going to backport the click_no_wait and modal dialog
functionality to 1.4.1 unless anyone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong
here.

Message-ID: <11ab23860612011816w615c0df1l90de8cfdc2a62774@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,
I'm new to watir and scripting in general. The tool is still easy enough
that I have automated many testcases already. On to my problem:
I have a page where selecting the sign in link opens a new window with the
sign in form, I set watir's focus on this new window with the attach command
and can fill it out fine and submit. After submission this new window closes
and the original window refreshes to reflect the successful sign in with
some text showing username etc.
My problem is after the sign in info is submitted and the new window closes
the script ends. I have some simple if/else statements to check if some text
strings are on the original window, but it seems that it no longer sees the
original window. How would I make watir switch focus back?

Thanks in advance!
Alan

One likely mistake is to use the same variable, like "ie", for both the 
parent and the child window.  Make sure to use separate variables for 
each window that you want to keep track of.

Hi Nathan,

Could you please let me know what difficulty you faced while installing gem
and JSSh xpi. I have used the Firewatir code and I currently own the project
at Google. I have tested its installation on 3 - 4 machines and didn't have
any problems either with XPI or with the Firewatir gem.

It currently works only on windows.

Let me know what problems you faced?

Regards,
Angrez

Hi Nathan,

Get the latest code from the following location.
http://firewatir.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Installation/

It contains installation doc, XPI and Firewatir gem.
Let me know the problems you have faced. Its still in development and this
will help me in generating the help document or installation document more
accurately.

Regards,
Angrez

In more detail: the Firewatir Ruby code hasn't really been tested on
non-Windows platforms yet, but, because of the way Firewatir is
designed, you should be able to drive Firefox running on any machine
and OS, as long as the JSSh extension is installed and enabled.
Firewatir sends browser driving JS code to a Firefox instance on a
particular socket, so if you want to test with Firefox on Linux for
example, you can run a Firefox instance on Linux, have your Firewatir
installation and scripts run on Windows, and drive the Firefox
instance remotely.

This might be a little slower than a complete Firewatir and Firefox
combo both running on the same Linux machine, but Firewatir speed has
improved quite a bit since the days it was 40X slower than the IE
equivalent. There is still work to be done (and under way) but I think
Firewatir is quite a viable option for Firefox driven testing (and
will get better).

Let us know if you need to experiment with remotely driving Firefox
and I'll rustle up a document or HOWTO.

Firewatir moved to Google code as a seprate project because it seemed
to be agreed that this best served the needs both of Watir and
Firewatir. Firewatir has not been abandoned; site maintenance and code
updates have been a little low key, partly because the level of
interest in Firewatir (at least as evidenced on this list) doesn't
suggest that much breath is being held, and partly because we
(primarily Angrez) have been focusing on improving Firewatir
performance to bring it being competitive with to what you see with
Watir/IE. Early  Firewatir versions were very slow (30X to 40X slower
than Watir/IE), which made it very
frustrating to use it for Firefox testing. The slowness issue should
largely have been addressed, though there is much testing, code
cleanup, packaging, and documentation to be done. Expect some visible
outcome of this in the not too distant future.

Firewatir requires an extension to be installed in Firefox. This
extension - JSSh - is now available packaged as a .xpi, so you don't
have to recompile Firefox to use it. You will however need to install
the extension, so you'll need to decide whether
Firefox-plus-JSSh-extension-installed counts, for your purposes,  as a
browser modification at par with recompilation or not.

For what it's worth, we are introducing Firewatir into our test suites
where I work, and have not thus far encountered anything that would
lead us to question the validity of any tests that we run using
Firewatir.

Maybe you're being too specific?

Did you try just: $ie.span(:index, 1).click

Or, based on the id tag, does this work: $ie.span(:id, 'firstTab').click

Message-ID: <45730B53.4060507@ohio.edu>

Hi,

I am trying to automate the download of a file from a website. I want
the user to be able to set the 'Save in:' and 'File Name:' edit boxes
but I am not sure how to approach this. I have the following code which
gets me as far as the Save As dialog but beyond that I am unsure of what
winClicker methods I need to change these text fields.

#requires
require 'watir'
require 'watir/winClicker'

#includes
include Watir

browser = IE.new
clicker = WinClicker.new

browser.goto( 'http://www.deviantart.com/download/29747336/' )

clicker.clickWindowsButton('File Download', 'Save')

After this I tried adding the following:

h = clicker.getWindowHandle('Save As')
clicker.setTextValueForFileNameField( h , 'test.rar' )

But I got the message 'Unable to obtain handle for filename chooser'
Also I need to change the 'Save In:' field but I'm even less sure how to
approach the combobox.
Any tips or insight on how to accomplish this would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
-Alex

Hi Ethan,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for not explaining the issue clearly.

There is a page in our application that contains links like "Instructions", "Step 1. Details", "Step 2. Inventors" etc [These are actually recognized as "TD"s in the 'View -> Source.  The table containing this has got an unique id to recognize it].  While entering into our application, all links, other than "Instructions" and "Step 1. Details", should be disabled.  This means that one can click on only the above-mentioned two links (Instructions and Step 1. Details).  The other links will be grayed out and cannot be clicked on (they will appear as just words with no "hand-pointer" , one which gets displayed when the mouse traverses over a web link).  I want to verify this with Watir.  I am at a loss about how to do that.  

 A sample html for an enabled link is :

Active Element: [A], Frame: [Detail], Index: [35] 
 <A class=tab_enabled href="javascript:formSubmit('summary');">Step&nbsp;1.&nbsp;Details</A>) ].

A sample html for a disabled link is:

Active Element: [TD], Frame: [Detail], Index: [41] 
<TD class=tab_disabled_label background=/iam/images/tab_inactive_bg.png>Step&nbsp;2.&nbsp;Inventors</TD>

Hello All,

I have a form which has the following layout
[u]Link1[/u]           Button
[u]Link2[/u]           Button
[u]Link3[/u]           Button

I want to be able to use WATIR to click the button beside [u]Link2[/u], my thinking is that I want to get the index of the link containing text "Link2" and then use this value to - Button(:index, linkIndex).click

Is it possible to return the index of the link?

Thanks,

PMF.

I have watir 1.5.1.1081 and it is not supported there.

irb(main):005:0> ie.link(:text, "link").index
NoMethodError: undefined method `index' for #<Watir::Link:0x2dcc6f0>

This looks like interesting feature request (maybe newer versions of watir
have this already implemented).

In your case, disabled link is not a link with disabled property (<a href="
page.htm" disabled="disabled">link text</a>), it is a table cell (<td>cell
text</td>).

This will tell you that "Step 1. Details" is link, not in table cell.

irb(main):025:0> ie.link(:text, "Step 1. Details").exists?
=> true
irb(main):026:0> ie.cell(:text, "Step 1. Details").exists?
=> false

This will tell you that "Step 2. Inventors" is in table cell, not link.

irb(main):023:0> ie.link(:text, "Step 2. Inventors").exists?
=> false
irb(main):024:0> ie.cell(:text, "Step 2. Inventors").exists?
=> true

You should take a look at http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp, it is good
html tutorial.

Hi All!
 
Here is the my code, for which i need parameterization
require 'watir'
require 'win32ole'
 
include Watir
 
test_site = 'http://www.google.com'
ie = IE.new
ie.goto(test_site)

   ie.text_field(:name, "q").set("pickaxe")    
   ie.button(:name, "btnG").click      

  [Note: In QTP to parameterize the above value, we write the following code
    Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebEdit("q").Set DataTable("p_Text",
dtGlobalSheet)
    Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").Click      
  
 So can anybody replace the above code with ruby syntax?

Charley,

I have installed autoit, and now ie.minimize works. You should emphasize in
release notes that autoit is required (or is it only in my case)?.
I have build gem from the latest build and installed it and now all core
tests pass.

But, I still have the problem from WTR-108 (file_field.set not working).

I do this

irb(main):007:0> ie.file_field(:index, 1).set('c:\ruby\ChangeLog.txt')
=> nil

and nothing happens. Really nothing. And all that I get back is nil (file
field at that page and file exist). Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Sikander,

Google should be your friend on the search for some good ruby
tutorials. The archive of this mailing list has always been a good
resource for me.

SafariWatir (http://safariwatir.rubyforge.org/) has been updated to
use the rb-appscript project (http://rb-appscript.rubyforge.org/)
rather than depending on AppleScript to do it's dirty work.  This has
improved performance dramatically.

You can watch SafariWatir executing its test suite in this screencast:

Hey Angrez,

The problems I experienced were resolved on my own part.  First of all the install javascript that you provided in your jsss.xpi.zip file doesn't work on my system, for whatever reason.  Also in your installation document you describe installing the jssh.xpi through the Firefox extension installer, but because the plugin isn't in xpi format, it is not installable this way or something else is wrong.  I tried dragging the zip over and nothing.  Just wanted to let you know.  I resolved the problems by unzipping the file and dragging the chrome and other folder (can't remember at the moment what it was called) into my installation directory, and Firewatir works fine.  It fails on one unittest but I bet you knew that.  Anyway we are now looking into both firewatir and selenium rc.  Both provide good solutions for what we want.  It will take some time for us to refactor our code to work with either of them as we utilize native ole methods in many cases to control things like sizing the browser, positioning the browser, and getting its hwnd.  Thanks for the link.

I've just installed Firewatir on two XP systems, following the instructions in the installation doc, and both worked fine - except that the unit tests didn't complete. This is the error:

  1) Failure:
test_simply_attach_to_new_window(TC_NewWindow) [./unittests/attach_to_new_window_test.rb:17]:

By the way, has anyone looked into doing an Operawatir?

Message-ID: <60085481.1165253937584.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

I have Ruby (185-21.exe) and Watir (1.4.1.exe) installed. Unsure of the installation order but Watir was probably installed first. No tests are running.

Example:
C:\watir\unittests>all_tests.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require': no such file
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'

        from C:/watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4

Questions:
- Do I need to run "gem install watir"?
- Should I uninstall all and reinstall Ruby first?

Thanks!

I tried it at first with "ie" for both but then relized that mistake and
changed it to "ie2" for the new window.

Do I have to I have to use attach to shift focus back to the first window?
Could it be that since after submitting the log in credentials the 2nd
window closes and the first window takes a few secs to reload?

Here is the script, its small so I think its ok to put it up here:

ie1 = Watir::IE.new
   ie1.goto(test_site)

   ie1.link(:text, "Sign in").click #this click causes the new window to
come up
   # logging in to new pop up window
   ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, 'http://www.*******.com/check?signin=true')
   ie2.text_field(:index, 2).set("funkenstein")
   ie2.text_field(:index, 3).set("1212")
   ie2.checkbox(:name, "savepassword").clear
   ie2.button(:value, "Sign In").click

   NOTE: script just goes to the ELSE statement without giving the first
page a chance to reload and display login verification

   #verify user is signed in

    if ie1.contains_text("You are signed in as")
      puts "Test PASSED. Found the test string: You are signed in as"
   else
      puts "Test FAILED! Could not find: 'You are signed in as'"
    end

Yes, I think that's probably the problem - your code has a race
condition. There is a wait function that you normally don't have to
call directly, because after an action that you'd want to wait for it
to finish, Watir calls it for you. But in this case, since you have one
window causing a change in another window, you'd have to take care of
the synchronization yourself.

Even if you wait until the page finished loading, there's still a race
condition, because there's a chance (probably a small one) that you'd
call wait before the first page even begins to reload, and the wait
would return immediately because it's not loading anything yet. So in
addition to the wait, I would recommend putting your "You are signed in
as" test in a loop, so it tries several times over the course of
several seconds before giving up.

I'm not a seasoned Watir developer yet, but hopefully I've hit on the
issue here. By the way, I don't think that "focus" is what you're
looking for. Unlike many GUI test tools, in many cases IE doesn't
actually need focus or to be in the foreground in order for Watir to
work. I'd imagine that focus would be something you'd have to worry
about if you use Watir's generic GUI automation, though.

Well thanks a lot, you led me to the fix. It does seem to be a timing
problem, I started googling to figure out how to do a loop as you suggested
and while doing that found the sleep command, so I tried something like:

ie2.button(:value, "Sign In").click
   # take a nap to wait for first page to load
   sleep(25)
and that did the trick, I've added a check to verify the username on the
parent page and it picks it up. I'll continue to look for a more robust
solution but this will have the script working in the meantime.

Thanks!

I was hoping you wouldn't find that.  :-)  The hacker in me wants to
point out that using sleeps to synchronize are both too slow and still
don't technically remove the race condition.

But the engineer in me says, hey, great, that will probably work in most
or all of the cases you need it for, and the slower it is, the more
likely it'll work.

You pick which one you want to listen to.  :-)  Here's pseudocode for
how I would approach it -

..child window initiates content change in parent window
found = 0
for i in 1..10
  ie.wait
  if desired content found in parent
    found = 1
    break
  end
end
if found == 1
  hurrah!

Thanks for the outline in the pseudocode, I do want to do something better
than just make it sleep, its one of those hurry up and get it to work right
now so bosses are happy, then make it work better afterwards kind of
situations.

Hi George,

The error that you are facing is because Firefox is not opening a new
window; instead its opening a new tab. Or Firefox is blocking the pop up.
Run the test alone and you'll be able to find out the cause.

Will document this thing so that people do this before running the test
cases.

Your comments/suggestions will be really appreciated.

Regards,
Angrez

Hi Nathan,

If you have downloaded the xpi from
http://people.mozilla.com/~davel/jssh/then it would save it as .zip
you need to manually change the extension to
.xpi and then follow the installation instructions for XPI. If you have
downloaded from
http://code.google.com/p/firewatir/trunk/Installation/JSShxpi/ then it
shouldn't be a problem.

I'll document this also. Are there any other problems that you are facing
Firewatir? Your feedback/suggestions are welcomed.

Regards,
Angrez

Hello Again,

I have currently got a WATIR Script running, and use a text file to hold all the constants.
However I have had a request to change this text file to a Spreadsheet - does it make sense to use a spreadsheet to hold all the constants? From what I have seen, I would have to call the cell directly, rather than being able to give the field a proper and relevant name.

Thanks for any advice you can give me,

Thanks Charley for your info.  Now I have installed Ruby 1.82 (from the RubyForge site) after uninstalling Ruby 1.85.  But now I am unable to install a watir gem.  With Ruby 1.85, I would go to the directory where the gem (say 1.5.1.1127) was downloaded and type "gem install watir-1[1].5.1.1127.gem" (watir-1[1].5.1.1127.gem is the name of the gem file) to install the gem.  But now, when I try to install the 1127 gem in the same way, I get an error message saying, "watir-1[1].5.1.1127.gem".  Is this not the way that a watir gem should be installed over Ruby 1.82? Can you guide me on how to install 1127 gem over Ruby 1.82?

Many thanks,
Vijay.

Download watir gem to any folder. Open command prompt and go to that folder.
Type

gem install watir

Make sure that gem name is watir-1.5.1.1127.gem (not
watir-1[1].5.1.1127.gem).

Here's an excellent page on scripting Excel through Ruby:
http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/ScriptingExcel
You could have a column with your constants and the next column over be the
values and iterate through the rows assigning those to a constant Hash or
something of the sort. There are a variety of ways to set up your constants,
you really shouldn't be losing any flexibility, it might just be a matter of
reorganizing.

Thanks from me too. I'm now running Watir with Ruby 1.8.2 on XP
Embedded, and showing how much slower this supposed "thin client"
application is on slow hardware.  :-)  Who needs a load test tool when a
single user already can't get good performance.

Message-ID: <63915d6a0612051258j464b2154t2909af171b812f79@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
I've searched the mailing list for this error but I'm not finding much that
helps me.  Admittedly, I am over my head with this.

We have customers using IE7 so we'd like to run Watir tests on IE7.  We set
up a machine with Windows Vista and IE7 (Why Windows Vista?  Just because it
was there, I guess).  I installed Ruby 1.8.5 with the one click installer
and used gem to install Watir 1.4.1.  I can attach to an IE window fine with
irb and click buttons and so on in irb.  However, the scripts fail with
errors like the ones below.  They invoke the site URL fine, but then another
window seems to be trying to open, just hanging.  When I close it, I get the
errors below.  We tried turning off the tabs in IE7, that didn't help.

I tried some troubleshooting I found for older versions of windows with the
RPC Server error but nothing helps.  I can manually use the app just fine
from this machine with IE7.  We have other Windows machines set up the same
way as this one network-wise but they are XP.

Is anyone else using Windows Vista?  The only problem I've seen on this
mailing list for IE7 is the modal dialog popup title being different.  We
are not getting anywhere close to our modal dialog popups!  The scripts
can't seem to click  anything once they invoke the site (although I can do
it with irb).

Thanks
Lisa

If these are just a couple of simple constants why not make it a ruby file? require a file somewhere in your scripts and do something like

$name = 'name'
$password = 'password'
$url = 'url'

its easy to figure out, and no need to parse anything.

Hello san,

maybe the "cookie manager" mentioned here may help You:

Other suggestion: Cookies are simple textfiles, why don?t You handle 
them with the normal ruby-functionalities?

Message-ID: <60591876.1165407686457.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Hello people,

I have written a small function to check for the presence or absence of a few values within a table.  Sometimes, Watir executes the function properly and gives the intended output (telling whether those values are present or not).  But, at times, it is throwing one of the following error messages (after giving a few lines of output):

1.  "Ruby.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows.  You will need to restart the program" in a small window with a title "Program Error"

2.  [Bug] Segmentation Fault

3.  Abnormal Program Termination 

I am using Ruby 1.85 and Watir gem 1.5.1.1127.  

Previuosly, when I told about the first error in a different message, Charley Baker told me to use Ruby 1.82 instead of 1.85.  Are all the three error messages caused due to Ruby 1.85 or there could be a problem with my code (the function is a straight-forward function with little complications)?.  Also I am unable to install Watir gem 1.5.1.1127 over Ruby 1.82.  After uninstalling Ruby 1.85 and installing Ruby 1.82, when I give the command, "gem install watir 1.5.1.1127.gem" or "gem install watir" in the command prompt, Windows is giving out an error message saying, "gem is not a recognizable command or a batch file" (the error message that comes when we type in a non-existant command in DOS).  Does "gem" needs to be installed separately before using the command "gem install..."?  I used to install Watir 1.5.1.1127 over Ruby 1.85 in the above-mentioned way and it perfectly installs the Watir gem.


Please help me.

Thanks,
Vijay.

Good to hear it.  But do you know how to install Watir 1.5.1.1127.gem over Ruby 1.82.  When I give the command "gem install Watir-1.5.1.1127" in the folder where the gem was downloaded to, Windows says "gem is not a recognizable command or a batch file" (the error message that comes when a wrong command is keyed in DOS)

Vijay,

Gem should be in whatever folder Ruby is in.  It sounds like the
ruby/bin/ folder is not in your path.

At the command prompt, you can't run "gem" or "ruby -h".  Can you run
these commands with their full paths, like "C:\ruby\bin\gem"?

After uninstalling Ruby 1.85 and installing Ruby 1.82, when I give the command, "gem install watir 1.5.1.1127.gem" or "gem install watir" in the folder where the watir gem was downloaded, Windows is giving out an error message saying, "gem is not a recognizable command or a batch file" (the error message that comes when we type in a non-existant command in DOS).  

The most common cause for this error is that c:\ruby\bin is not in your 
PATH environment variable.  Try starting a new DOS shell, and that 
should pick up the environment that was set up by the latest Ruby install.

You can also try typing the full path - c:\ruby\bin\gem if I remember 
correctly (I'm on Linux at the moment), or c:/ruby/bin/gem.bat under Cygwin.

Yeah, the reason why you're having that error is that you have only defined @ie in your first method.  That makes that a local instance to that method.  Because of this, when you try and use it in your second method it returns nil or in your case 'undefined'.  If you want to use the @ie variable globally then you might do one of two things.  1) Define the variable outside of your methods but inside of your class as a class variable or member that can be accessed by all of your methods, or 2) define @ie as a global variable (I'm not sure if you can keep the '@' part in this case) by calling it $ie.  The $ tells Ruby to treat the variable like a global variable no matter where you define it.

Thanks everyone for your help.  I put the watir gem in the 'C:\ruby\bin' folder and installed watir from there.  Now the function, which used to throw a series of error messages like "Program error - ruby.exe has created problems, segmentation fault and abnormal program termination, seems to run properly and give the intended output.

Thanks, once again.  That was a great help.

Using a spreadsheet is pretty straightforward, especially for the simpler
functions, if you use the link that Charley cited earlier.  Fancy stuff
requires a little more effort with the (very, very strange) Excel object
model.  I've found good hints on how to do this in VB books and by using the
Object Browser (which you can get to via Excel's Tools/Macro/Edit, and then
when you're in the VB editor, hitting F2).

There is a fair amount in the archives on this subject.

My own opinion is to use a spreadsheet when:

a) Stakeholders who are not in the code itself need to be made happy.  This
sounds like where you are right now.
b) Data in the spreadsheet will be subject to substantial manipulation by
non-programmers.
c) Some feature of the spreadsheet software (i.e. macros) is important.

Have you considered the possibility of a delimited file that can be
manipulated  by Excel? (I assume you're using Excel).  A delimited file
gives you a lot of the presentation goodness of Excel, but is still easier
to program than a real Excel spreadsheet.

Chris has some salient points. Another advantage of using a delimited file
that you can use through Excel is version control. Using a delimited file
makes it easier to diff and/or merge through Subversion or whatever your SCM
tool might be as opposed to using an Excel file.

A comma-delimited (comma-separated-value / csv) file is a great 
compromise, as was mentioned earlier.  A spreadsheet application can 
read and write it, and it's a text file that's simple to parse in Ruby. 
  You won't get Excel features like functions and macros, but you will 
get a GUI interface for non-technical people to enter flat data.

Your users will need to know that they need to save the files in .csv 
format, not .xls.

There are many ways to access controls, does the textbox have any
attributes? id, name, etc? If it does then you can use the standard set
method:
ie.text_field(:name, "username").set("admin")

Are you getting errors accessing it? If so what errors? If the text field
doesn't have any identifiable attributes, you can also use index:
ie.text_field(:index, 3).set("admin")

There may be a way to pixel click, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's
subject to breaking pretty quickly. The above options should work. If not,
post some of the html code and more information.

Just curious, would Watir be able to handle the following cases:

- if the form were part of a Java applet?
- if the form were generated by Javascript?
- if the form were generated by Flash?

I don't know anything about the JD Edwards app, and I know less than I
wish about Watir.   Just asking to learn, but perhaps it's helpful to
brainstorm reasons why a form showing up in a somewhat standard
browser config might not be Watir-accessible....

Thanks,

Philip

Hey Philip,

 Java applet - no, Flash - no. These are embedded objects which IE really
has no insight into. Form generated by Javascript - yes. This is what Watir
deals with....the generated DOM. I'm not yet convinced there's no way to
access the form elements in this particular scenario.

java applet - no, but might be possible with autoit or winclicker
javascript - yep - the form exists as part of the DOM, so watir can get at it
Flash - see java applet

if i remember, there is a method in IE called something like

element_at( x, y)

it might be possible to use that to do what you need. But as others have said, this is a very fragile way of doing automation

There are many ways to access controls, does the textbox have any
attributes? id, name, etc? If it does then you can use the standard set
method:
ie.text_field(:name, "username").set("admin")

Are you getting errors accessing it? If so what errors? If the text field
doesn't have any identifiable attributes, you can also use index:
ie.text_field(:index, 3).set("admin")

There may be a way to pixel click, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's
subject to breaking pretty quickly. The above options should work. If not,
post some of the html code and more information.
