Personally, i've switched over to using Excel's XML format. Excel reads and writes these files just like XLS files, except that you may need to create a file association for them. But the code is pure XML and you can easily diff your changes. In Excel, select Save As XML Spreadsheet. I don't like CSV files. They do not retain column widths and therefore usually look crappy when you first open them. I've been developing a set of spreadsheet abstractions that makes reading them pretty simple. I will work towards publishing them so that others may use them. But first, there are Watir 1.5 bugs to fix...

That's when we invented > the 'preconditions / teardowns' support + the batch mode of execution Thanks for the clarification. I agree that WET is providing a feature that Watir doesn't have. Strictly speaking Watir has been only a GUI Driver, and what you are criticizing is Test::Unit, but that in fact is the test harness that comes bundled with Ruby and which we have encouraged users to use. As you note, there are problems with using it for System testing, since it was designed for unit testing. I guess i would label this feature "System Testing Test Harness". Of course, I recently bundled Watir::TestCase. This solves part of the alphabeticization problem. These tests will run their test methods in the order defined, rather than alphabetically.

I'm using Watir tests, and running them through Cruise Control, so that they're continuous integration tests, reports generated through http://test-report.rubyforge.org/. xml reports, cruise picks them up since they're xunit style and publishes them out. Cruise emails the reports out. Where to locate it in svn is a good question. We currently have our FAT in it's own location. We also have a ruby install in svn, for better or worse, which is able to be run in ci and on any workstation, and able to easily update for shared libraries. -Charley On 12/19/06, Thomas.Vaughan at usitc.gov wrote: > > Hi, > > I just started using WATIR and fell in love at first sight.

I was thinking about the details of your analysis while looking through the code and I realized that there was a simple change that could be made to improve performance. This code is attached below as a patch. I found that this change provided a 4% improvement when running the core watir unit tests, but a 16% improvement in one of the tests i've been working with recently for my company's application. It will provide the biggest improvement when (1) the application has a DOM with lots of elements and (2) you make repeated use of elements stored in variables. name = ie.text_field(:id, 'name') name.set(name) if name.exists? What the change does is cache the reference for the second call. Although all the unit tests passed with this change, there are likely to be uses out there this would break, so i am reluctant to add this code to Watir without putting some kind of guard on it.

'after' is transitive when used imperatively. "Link! After link, headline!" So Ruby's silly ? and ! markers make more sense than we thought.

I maintain the constants and variables in an Excel sheet. But I have a macro on the sheet that writes those out to another file. You have a choice at that point: to have the macro write all or part of your .RB file and execute it, as I am doing, or have it export to an .ini file and then read the .ini file from your .RB file. The second is probably more standard, and it can also be used by other environments if it ever comes around to that. Let's say you have 3 constants on the Excel page, laid out vertically: ---A--- ---B--- xyzzy 345 plugh gopher razzle .28951 your macro would do the following: open a text file write the var and val to it for each of the items close the text file That might look something like this (I use the older style .VB code for writing to files) f=freefile open "c:\yourpath\yourfile.ini" for output as #f for a = 1 to 3 print #f, cells(a,1) & "=" & cells(a,2) next a close #f This will produce a file that looks like: xyzzy=345 plugh=gopher razzle=.28951 At this point you have your .ini file, and the data can be read easily by any script, including your ruby script. AND you still have the data in a spreadsheet format that your stakeholders can use. The other way to do the same thing is to use the .rb code to open and extract the cells from the spreadsheet.

All the 7 elements in the page are recognized as "links" when they are in "enabled" states and in that situation, I am able to click all of them using 'ie.link' commands similar to the one given below: ie.frame("Detail").link(:text,"Step 2. Inventors").click But, when the web page first loads, only one (it is displayed as "Step 1. Details") out of the existant 7 elements is enabled and so only this element is recognized as a link by Watir. The status of this element can be checked by the following command: object_enabled = ie.frame("Detail").link(:text,"Step 1. Details").enabled? The above command returns "True" to say that the element, "Step 1. Details", is enabled. But I am not sure how to check the statuses of other elements as Watir does not recognize them as links because they are disabled. If a similar statement is used to check the element, "Step 2. Inventors" (which is in a disabled state), Watir says that it is "unable to find out the object using text and Step 2. Inventors". The reason behind this, I believe, is that the element, "Step 2. Inventors" is not identifed as a link as it is in a disabled state (it is not categorized as a link because it cannot be clicked). So I am unable to find out the statuses of other elements because I am not sure what word to put instead of the word "link" in the following checking statement, object_enabled = ie.frame("Detail").link(:text,"Step 2. Inventors").enabled? If I use the word, "element" instead of the word "link" in the above statement, Watir says "Undefined method 'element' for Watir Frame" The 'html' of all the disabled items are present as: Active Element: [TD], Frame: [Detail], Index: [41] Thanks, in Advance, Vijay. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5711&messageID=16393#16393 From zeljko.filipin at gmail.com Wed Dec 20 07:33:36 2006 From: zeljko.filipin at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?Q?=C5=BDeljko_Filipin?=) Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 13:33:36 +0100 Subject: [Wtr-general] Simulate CNTRL-LEFT CLICK In-Reply-To: <40059708.1166570571258.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> References: <42913869.1164750868797.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> <40059708.1166570571258.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> Message-ID: On 12/20/06, Dave Munns wrote: > > The control left click on a specific object will invoke a frame with a > list of data.

I would first try to understand why *you* know the progress bar is done. Is it because the bar gets to the end and its full? Is it because something says 'complete'? How do you know it failed? Once you gathered these answers you will probably find you are waiting for a certain event to occur. This event doesn't always happen X seconds after you click something, it happens when its done (it also will probably fail at some point). So to start, we need to find that 'anchor' in the future. This is some page element that lets the user know that its done. Lets pretend this is an image. So we want to wait at most, lets say, 20 seconds (this depends on your app) or until some image exists. I'm going to give you some code I'm just thinking up, this should be used to help illustrate my idea and maybe inspire a solution from you. I'm sure you will think up something much better on your own. # Note the below code should not be used, its just an idea of how you might do this wait_max = 20 wait_increment = .1 wait = 0 while wait < wait_max .if ie.image(*whatever*).exists? #this is the event, it could be anything ..# Found it, do the next part .else ..wait += wait_increment end --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5861&messageID=16400#16400 From forum-watir-users at openqa.org Wed Dec 20 09:15:10 2006 From: forum-watir-users at openqa.org (Balaji) Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 08:15:10 CST Subject: [Wtr-general] CRITICAL---Clicking Image Button in Application Message-ID: <32192013.1166624153561.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>
