Message-ID: <20060102054657.59905.qmail@web8314.mail.in.yahoo.com> Hi, The application under test has got a tree structure. I want to write a test case which invovles navigating through the tree structure and verifying whether the correct screen is displayed when the corresponding link is clicked. I am able to navigate through the tree structure by using the link index.I am retrieving the innertext of the link and then verifying whether that text is present on the other frame. The code that I am using is link_index = 1 while(ie.frame(:index,tree_frame_index).link(:index,link_index).exists?) link_text = ie.frame(:index,tree_frame_index).link(:index,link_index).innerText ie.frame(:index,tree_frame_index).link(:index,link_index).click if $ie.frame(:index,text_frame_index).contains_text(link_text) puts "Test passed" else puts "Test failed" end link_index = link_index + 1 end Here the text of the child nodes are same for all the parent nodes. How do I know whether the text displayed of the child node belongs to the corresponding parent node? Is there way by which we can find out the parent nodes and child nodes of a tree structure in watir?

Do a view source and find out what the attribute values for your tag. If for some reason your developers were lazy and didn't give the tag an id or name attribute, use index. If there are more than one tag on the page the indexing starts top-most down with 1 and increments from there. Here is the usage portion for file_field from Watir.rb: # This is the main method for accessing a file field. Usually an HTML tag. # * how - symbol - how we access the field , :index, :id, :name etc # * what - string, int or re , what we are looking for, # # returns a FileField object # # Typical Usage # # ie.file_field(:id, 'up_1') # access the file upload field with an ID of up_1 # ie.file_field(:name, 'upload') # access the file upload field with a name of upload # ie.file_field(:index, 2) # access the second file upload on the page ( 1 based, so the first field is accessed with :index,1) Hope this helps, --Mark ________________________________ From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of chaya shetty Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 4:45 AM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] How can I open and attach file using file_fieldmethod?

By assigning sheet = application, you're setting the sheet objection to the application object--which means you've lost access to the sheet object by reassigning it. If you simply said application.activecell.offset(1,0).activate you'd get the same effect, and you'd still have a sheet object. This is because ActiveCell is a property of the application, not of the workbook nor of the worksheet. You can confirm this by opening up an Excel sheet, choosing the menu bar's Tools / Macro / Visual Basic Editor, and then pressing F2 for the Object Browser. Double-click on ActiveCell and you'll see (about a third of the way up from the bottom of the screen) that it's a global property of Excel.Application. I presume this is because the authors of Excel's OLE Automation only wanted one active cell in the entire application, not one active cell per worksheet or workbook, but reading the minds of those folks is difficult. Note that none of this has anything to do with Ruby per se. They're not "the Ruby objects" here; they're OLE/COM objects. You would have encountered the same kinds of confusion were you using Visual Basic. (Lord knows I did.) One fine day, I'll write a really good Ruby-Excel interface.

I want to write a test case which invovles navigating through the tree structure and verifying whether the correct screen is displayed when the corresponding link is clicked. I am able to navigate through the tree structure by using the link index.I am retrieving the innertext of the link and then verifying whether that text is present on the other frame. The code that I am using link_index = 1 while(ie.frame(:index,tree_frame_index).link(:index,link_index).exists?) link_text = ie.frame(:index,tree_frame_index).link(:index,link_index).innerText ie.frame(:index,tree_frame_index).link(:index,link_index).click if $ie.frame(:index,text_frame_index).contains_text(link_text) puts "Test passed" else puts "Test failed" end link_index = link_index + 1 end Here the text of the child nodes are same for all the parent nodes. How do I know whether the text displayed of the child node belongs to the corresponding parent node? How would you know this if you /weren't/ using WATIR? That is, how would you determine correctness if you were clicking on the links manually and observing with own your eyes and brain? Is there way by which we can find out the parent nodes and child nodes of a tree structure in watir? If I understand your question correctly, you should be able to walk the application's pages as you're doing above (using Watir) and build a tree structure based on hashes (and hashes of hashes) or stacks (using Ruby). But so far as I know, there's no guarantee anywhere in Web-land that a given page is the parent of another. Several pages higher in a hierarchy can be pointing to the same page lower in it; thus a page can have many "parents". Pages can be related as parents and children simultaneously. That is, in math-speak, Web sites can be viewed as graphs, but there's nothing (other than someone's mental organizing model) that says that they are trees. Moveover, neither Ruby nor Watir knows anything about what constitutes correctness. Correctness will have to come from the heuristics that you program into your tests. That's why (for example), I would change "Test passed" and "Test failed" above to "child page contains text found in link on parent page" -- I would at least make that translation in my head. I know this might not get you what you want, but I hope it clarifies things. ---Michael B.

Regular expressions vary a good deal from implementation to implementation, so Pierre's resources may be more immediately useful to Rubyists. ---Michael B. -----Original Message----- From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Pierre Garigue Sent: January 8, 2006 12:44 AM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org; wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Newbie - How to get value found bysearchingforregular expression? the tutorial http://gnosis.cx/publish/programming/regular_expressions.html had a few other things on regular expressions but you want the Ruby the pickaxe book http://www.pixelmech.com/notebook/2005/12/programming-ruby-the-pickaxe-book/ it has a whole chapter on using regular expressions in ruby [---Pierre Garigue, too shy to sign] -----Original Message----- From: Michael Bolton [mailto:mb at michaelbolton.net] Sent: Sat 07-Jan-06 3:12 PM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Cc: Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Newbie - How to get value found by searchingforregular expression?

Create file object using the following code input_file = File.open("data.txt", "r") 2. There are many ways to iterate through the file or read data from the file depending on what you need to do. To go through the file line-by-line it would be input_file.each_line{|line| line = line.chop() .... .... .... } 3. Then close the handle when you are done input_file.close() Hope that helps.

Does anyone know of a better way to do this? A general design rule of thumb is to substitute methods for conditionals. I know that sounds all abstract and stuff, but here's a concrete example. I have an app that shows 10 things at a time on an arbitrarily large number of pages. So I'll write a method like this: def check_for_next_page @ie.links.each do |link| if link.href =~ /b_start/ and link.text =~ /Next/ and link.text =~ /items/ process_next_page_method link.click end end end #def So above that I have another method that will process the page *if the page exists*: def process_next_page_method @ie.links.each do |link| if link.href =~ /IWantThisLink/ link.href =~/\d+/ @data_array<<$& #puts $& end end #def That way only one conditional per page, one conditional per link per page. I hope that makes sense, good luck. BTW, I bet if you google something like "ruby conditionals methods" you might find useful stuff, too. -Chris From mb at michaelbolton.net Wed Jan 11 12:30:10 2006 From: mb at michaelbolton.net (Michael Bolton) Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 12:30:10 -0500 Subject: [Wtr-general] Design Problems In-Reply-To: <8ca48b420601110831h670e4247rd05bfe16ca41b0bf@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <000001c616d4$ac74ee60$6801a8c0@Koko> I would like gently to suggest that your inexperience as a developer isn't the problem here. This is a fundamental question about test automation in general. You're not alone; I'm not convinced that very many people have thought particularly hard about it. I think enough time has gone by that people now understand that a debugger will neither find nor fix your bugs. In a similar kind of way, WATIR will not use or test your application; YOU will. WATIR will help you to do that by pressing keys or performing mouse clicks, scanning the screen and reacting to patterns that you've told it about, and doing all that really quickly. So: if Store 2 requires you to answer some questions, what would those questions be? If Store 2 requires you to behave differently, what are the differences? At what point do they diverge from the behaviours for Store 1? The fundamental problem is: what do you mean by "a generic test"? For me to answer this question in a way that would help you, I would have to know what you would do manually and cognitively if you didn't have WATIR available. Then solving the programming problem is relatively straightforward. Relatively. And I don't think you'll need our help as much as you might think you do. One way you can do some of the things that you're doing below is to take the "do some assertions" part, and wrap those into a method that /isn't/ a test_something method, and to take the stuff where you enter data and do something similar, such that we might see def test_store_1 login_to_store_1 order_some_product fill_in_some_data click_submit logout end def_test_store_2 login_to_store_2 order_some_product fill_in_some_data click_submit logout end def login_to_store_1 enter_user_name_and_password end def login_to_store_2 enter_user_name_and_password enter_credit_card_info answer_some_questions end def fill_in_some_data @ie.text_field(:name, "fname").set("Terry") @ie.text_field(:name, "lname").set("Peppers") @ie.text_field(:name, "address").set("123 Foo") @ie.text_field(:name, "zip").set("90210") @ie.text_field(:name, "city").set("Foobar") @ie.text_field(:name, "state").set("FO") end def click_submit @ie.button(:name, "submit").click end On the other hand, if the stores themselves don't behave generically, then the tests will have to incorporate behaviour that's appropriate to the differences: def_test_store_2 login_to_store_2 jump_through_extra_store_2_hoops order_some_product fill_in_some_generic_data fill_in_other_stuff_specific_to_store_2 click_submit logout end You see? ---Michael B. _____ From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Terry Peppers Sent: January 11, 2006 11:32 AM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: [Wtr-general] Design Problems I'm kind of @ a crossroads right now and I think my inexperience as a developer is beginning to shine pretty hard.

Also, maybe this is a place where exceptions should be used - I don't think so, but I don't know. Any ideas? Hi Terry, I think your on the right path with this thought. Perhaps create one main Store object with characteristics common to all Stores (ie logon, user name, password, account number) and then have child Stores inherit from the parent Store object with more specific charactersitics. You then initialize each Store accordingly and define them only in the specific test case they are needed. As you'll probably see, there are many ways to approach this. How i have approached something like this in the past is would be to give each Store object a "setup" and "test" method, which is then called from within the specific test cases. This way, your main test file would be tiny. You can then write your individual test script as a method inside your Store objects. I don't know if this will help you cut down on the amount of code you need to write class OrderTest < Test::Unit::TestCase def setup end def test_store_01 store_1 = Store.new(..) store_1.setup() assert (store_1.test()..... end def test_store_02 store_2= Store.new(..) store_2.setup() assert (store_1.test()..... end def test_store_03 store_3= Store.new(..) store_3.setup() assert (store_1.test()..... end def teardown end end Hope that helps.

When my script runs I see a Dos window open with focus (just like WinClicker), then the file chooser window open under the Dos window. The Dos window scrolls through all the objects open and finally gets to the File Chooser window, the document name (from $path) appears in the file name field, the open button is clicked and that information is transferred to the file_field text boxes. Finally the submit button is clicked and the file is attached. --Mark ________________________________ From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of chaya shetty Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 10:11 PM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] How can I open and attach fileusingfile_fieldmethod?

Do a view source and find out what the attribute values for your tag. If for some reason your developers were lazy and didn't give the tag an id or name attribute, use index. If there are more than one tag on the page the indexing starts top-most down with 1 and increments from there.

First use cut and paste to create the tests you want, each as a simple linear set of steps, often duplicated. Then look at where the duplication is and remove it, by putting the common code in methods. As you do this, try to pick logical groupings and give the methods names that make it obvious what steps they include. When you are done, you will have a bunch of test_methods, each of which calls a lot of generic methods, with some code that is specific to the particular test.

I have attempted a fix, shown in the diff below, using timeout, but for reasons I don't understand, it doesn't time out. In exploring this I found a typo in setup.rb which I show a patch for below. Also, I encountered problems at first because of the active content warnings in IE. I have left the warning popup to display every time, because I don't always notice the yellowish stripe at the top of the page. While this popup was present, the tests could not function. Maybe there is a way to turn it off when doing Watir tests and restore it to its previous setting afterwards? [I've had to take the plunge and just remove it.

This is the setting is in Tools-> Internet Options, Advanced Pane, Security section, called "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer". You don't need to turn this setting on for Watir in general, but it is required for the unit tests. It is the nature of this kind of setting that it can't be set automatically (e.g. from the unit tests). That would undermine it's ability to control security. At least that's my understanding: if anyone knows otherwise, speak up. I would love to take care of this automatically in the unit tests.

The problem is that IE#close is asynchronous. It returns, but the IE RPC server (IE is itself made up of a server bit and a client bit both running on your machine connected via RPC) is still in the process of shutting down. Then the IE#new happens, and a new client is created using the IE RPC server that is in the process of shutting down. Then it shuts down. There are three workarounds to this problem. 1. Add time delays between the ie.close and ie.new or ie.start. This will give a chance for the ie.close to really close. 2. Don't close IE -- just reuse the existing client between tests. 3. Create an additional IE. As long as this lives, the IE server will continue to live and you can close and create IE windows without worry. I presume you are using Watir 1.4. The watir library in HEAD uses option 3 to avoid this problem. The best solution would be to make ie.close synchronous. John Kordyback has an idea for how to make this happen.

The page your further documentation links to: http://www.winxptutor.com/lmzunlock.htm says: WORKAROUND In some cases, say when you're building and testing a webpage locally (Local Machine Zone), you may still see the Information Bar when the web page executes any script, initiates a Pop-up windows, or a download. For testing purposes, one needs to follow any of these workarounds: * Rename the .HTM file to .HTA (Example.. Index.HTM to Index.HTA and test the file locally). HTA files have more privileges than the HTM files, can run active content on Local Machine by default. -or- * add the Mark Of The Web code such as to a Web page, where the (0023) value is the string length of your URL that follows it and Contoso is the name of your Web site. The above is an extract from Local Machine Zone Lockdown - Developer Implications. See page for more information about the two workarounds above. However, I have just tried the approach with hta and it doesn't work for me. See the patchcluster below (not sure if I can attach it to this list, so it's included.)

Michael, since you've offered to write Watir documentation, i thought i should make a few points of minor clarification. These issues you mention are really not pertinent to the Watir documentation per se. Rather they describe testing principles that true whether you are using Watir or some other tool. The id attribute indeed tends to be the must useful identifier for testing. This is because, by specification, it is unique on a page. The name attribute is not necessary unique. In some cases, it is proper for two fields to have the same name attribute -- if they do the same thing. A good example would be to suppose that for page design reasons a page had two search fields. Properly they would have the same name, but different id's. Bret -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I didn't want to have to write if statements for each control on each page so after researching I figured the easiest way would be to write libraries for each control type and then within those libraries handle every event that could be raised for each object type. Basically those are the core elements I felt that were needed to run a test. Secondly, for CruiseControl, all you need to do I smodify the config files to include your xsl files and then write your xsl files to be able to parse your xml and create the output. It was actually quite simple.

You originally asked whether these notions were implicit to Watir, and the answer is no. Are they relevant? yes. In fact, Watir was designed to make these kinds of things *explicit*. By contrast, Watir's predecessor, IEController, *implicitly* referred to objects via names. And Selenium, *implicitly* treats references by name as references by id in some specific situations (or is it the other way around?). The fuzzy matching used by some of the commercial tools also makes these issues less distinct with them. In the context of Watir itself, however, any of these methods (name, id, text) are equally good. It is only the larger context of specific applications and the practices used to develop them that you can say thatone method may be better than another. Some of the most valuable writing might be to describe how to do effective automated testing using Watir. Watir allows this key issue of identification method to be explicit and simple, without having to go into window maps or other configuration settings or lengthy tool explanations. One of my primary motivations for developing Watir was to facilitate this kind of writing. But I would hesitate to call this kind of thing "Watir documentation". Consider Mike Kelly's performance testing article. He orginally had his examples written JRobot (i think) but ported them to Watir to increase the accessibility of the article. BTW, i think where you are taking this is in a direction that by convention goes under the label "best practices".

Both comments were incredibly helpful. That, and I had a total RTFM manual moment when it came to creating functions in my test cases. Thanks a ton for the responses. New question, though. I was digging through the Watir mailing list archive looking for any information about how to access links that are in an image map. Didn't come up with anything and was wondering if there was a way to do this? I've created a function that basically goes through a page, grabs all the links, puts them in an array and then I have another function that takes in that array and clicks all the applicable links. Examples: def get_links() @links = Array.new @ie.links.each do |link| @links.push(link.href) end return @links end def click_links(pages) pages.each do |page| puts "Step: Click the \"#{page}\" link" @ie.link(:url, page).click @ie_pop = IE.attach(:url, page) @ie_pop.wait # do some assertions here @ie_pop.close end end def test_links @list = get_links() click_links(@list) end I keep printing out the array '@links' in the 'test_links' method and I don't see the links that happen to be in image maps. Do I need to write another function that looks @ at image maps and put those into another array? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm making a watir script to automate the downloading of some files from a corporate intranet site. It works fine when I run it on my laptop when my laptop is directly plugged into the corporate network. However, when I have the same laptop at home and am using a VPN connection get into the same corporate network, it does not work. What happens is, using watir to click on links still works fine but it isn't handling the "File Download" dialog. (My script detects that the "File Download" dialog exists, then clicks "Save", then detects if the "Save As" dialog exists, then fills in the "File Name" field, then clicks "Save") By watching my log messages, I see that none of the autoit functions that should block are blocking. autoit.ControlClick isn't doing a click, but isn't blocking either, nor is autoit.ControlSetText. Even autoit.WinWait isn't blocking until the proper dialog exists. Why should the fact that I am using VPN matter? Am I missing some other factor? Perhaps I should point that my browser is configured to run a company-mandated chunk of JavaScript upon startup which configures to browser to use a proxy server. I don't think that is causing the problem. Thank you for your time and attention!

Message-ID: <30561FB511309F44A56833A491C9FEC6026A2051@exchange2.in.aventail.com> I think that happens because the autoit WinWait call inside the 'push_security_alert_yes' method doesn't have a timeout value. So it waits forever, looking for the "Security Alert" window. You can check out the details of how that popup is dismissed by looking in your local copy of WindowHelper.rb (which should be in \ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir\). A good way to work around this might be to write your own autoit method that copies exactly what 'push_security_alert_yes' does, but with a timeout added. As a quick test you could try adding this to your "b" thread (after commenting out the WindowHelper stuff in the thread): require 'win32ole' autoit = WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control') autoit.WinWait "Security Alert", "", 5 autoit.Send "{TAB}" autoit.Send "{TAB}" autoit.Send "{SPACE}" I think that should work (I didn't test it, though). The only major difference between that and 'push_security_alert_yes' is the "5" value added to the end of WinWait. So I guess if you don't mind editing the library you could make the change (or add a new method) in WindowHelper.rb. But in the long term, the change might get lost in an upgrade or something, so... Docs on WinWait and many more useful autoit functions are in AutoItX.chm (or http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions.htm).

If that module is in a separate file, you must use require to drag that file in before using include. [...] a Ruby include does not simply copy the module's instance methods into the class.

Message-ID: Hi all, Does anyone know how to set up Watir to run unattended? I'm having troubles trying to do this using a Scheduled Task. Requirements: 1) Execute a Watir script without having to have a user login to the computer to execute it (e.g via a Service or Scheduled task). 2) Have the script notify the developers when testing fails (via email or updating a web page). I'm trying to set up a Watir script to serve as a "heart beat" of sorts for my web site. The idea is that I have a watir script constantly running that tests a website and notifies our development team (via email or a status web page) when the scripts fail. I thought I would do it by creating a Windows Scheduled task that would periodically call my Watir Script. I'm getting an error when I execute this scheduled task, however. The error is: Failed to create WIN32OLE object from `InternetExplorer.Application' HRESULT error code:0x80070005 Access is denied. The script runs fine when I execute it via a command prompt. The user the Scheduled Task is running under is an admin account, so that should be fine too. The only thing I'm doing in the script is calling IE.new(); that's where the error occurs. I'm wondering if the problem is due to IE being a GUI app and scheduled tasks don't display GUI's. I tested this by creating a Scheduled Task to simply instantiate an instance of IE; it worked without errors. Here's the test I'm running: require 'watir' require 'test/unit' require 'ftools' class TC_MyCompany < Test::Unit::TestCase include Watir def test_hello_world @ie = IE.new() #BOOM!! Error happens here. @ie.close() t = Time.now time_stamp = t.strftime("Printed on %m/%d/%Y at %I:%M%p") File.open('E:\Watir\hello.txt', "w+") { |msg_file| msg_file.write("successfully opened IE at #{time_stamp}") } rescue File.open('E:\Watir\hello.txt', "w+") { |msg_file| msg_file.write($!) } end end Thanks for any help you can offer!

We use CruiseControl.Net which is a service that runs on our build machine and runs at timed intervals or we can force it as well. But then from CruiseControl we have a Nant build kickoff that executes our build scripts which one of the things that is done in that is to execute our WATIR scripts. Hope this helps. But as you can see it can be done and with minimal setup really. CruiseControl and Nant are both very easy to setup and get running.

Hi, I started looking into this a month ago and sidetracked. However, it appeared that a scheduled task *would* work, but not if the computer (desktop) was locked. I don't remember the error message, but it appeared to be that the browser wouldn't launch if the desktop was locked, so it may be the same thing you saw. Since setting a computer to never lock is a security issue, we think we've going to have such a machine in the server room, where it's physically secure. hope this helps.

You can get the object like you would normally then use the ole object and then check the innerHTML or innerText since at that point you are just using the IE DOM you can basically do anything you would from javascript in IE.

This is straight from that doc: checkbox(how, what=nil ,value=nil) This is the main method for accessing a check box. Usually an HTML tag. * how - symbol - how we access the check box , :index, :id, :name etc * what - string, int or re , what we are looking for, * value - string - when there are multiple objects with different value attributes, this can be used to find the correct object returns a CheckBox object Valid values for 'how' are :index - find the item using the index in the container ( a container can be a document, a TableCell, a Span, a Div or a P index is 1 based :name - find the item using the name attribute :id - find the item using the id attribute :beforeText - finds the item immediately before the specified text :afterText - finds the item immediately after the specified text Typical usage ie.checkbox(:id, 'send_email') # access the check box with an id of send_mail ie.checkbox(:name, 'send_copy') # access the check box with a name of send_copy ie.checkbox(:name, /n_/ ) # access the first check box whose name matches n_ ie.checkbox(:index, 2) # access the second check box on the page ( 1 based, so the first field is accessed with :index,1) In many instances, checkboxes on an html page have the same name, but are identified by different values. An example is shown next. Daily Email Weekly Email Monthly Email Watir can access these using the following: ie.checkbox(:id, 'day_to_send' , 'monday' ) # access the check box with an id of day_to_send and a value of monday => ie.checkbox(:name ,'email_frequency', 'weekly') # access the check box with a name of email_frequency and a value of 'weekly' There are some very good examples in the unittests located in the install directory for Watir.

I'm not sure I understand this question. Can you give us a f'rinstance? I would have thought that you can include a method "some_method" in your class and call it explicitly from within something called "test_method". I think I've done that, and it would startle me if that weren't so. However, if I am to be startled, you should be able to put that calculation and that method in another class, at least, and call that class.

I don't know too much about the first problem that you are having but as for your second one try this. I changed the max to be no higher than 99999 and then you get a maximum of 5 digits.

I have 2 questions: Can I use method names other then "test_sometest" in my script. For example, I have a method that performs a calculation and returns a value and passes that value to test method. Unless I rename my calculation method as "test_calculation" the method is not executed. I know that my class is inheriting from test::unit, but do I need to precede every method name with "test"? Secondly, I am trying to generate test users for my test by generating a random number and the concatenating that number to a string "test" so that the result is "test12345", for example. I'm using rand(max-0) to generate the number, but it returns a big number. So I tried stripping the number and then concatenating but it didn't work. Ultimately, I would like to have generate names with 5 digits randomly like the example above. Any ideas? def Random_name $rand_num = rand(max=0) $rand_num =~ /^0???/ $rand_user = $rand_num.to_s puts ("tester"+ ($rand_user)) return $rand_user end -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In your case it would be something like this: ie.checkbox(:xpath, "//td[contains(., 'Test3')]/../td/input/").click() This XPath query first select the containing text Test3 (this is what you said is fixed and known before hand), then it goes to its parent i.e. and then traverse down the tree to first and then element inside that which is the checkbox element that you want. For using XPath download the tar ball from HEAD and read the documentation under the docs section. Hope this helps.

But if you are getting the collection of objects with the same name and then trying to sort that array you can't. The reason is that the array of controls is really not an array it is unique object collection. If you want to send me some code I can take a look at it and see what I can come up with. The other thing that may help though I don't know your circumstance is that you can use Xpath expressions against the DOM so you might be able to do something like that. See the previous post below that might be able to help you out. Sergio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ PREVIOUS POST: Hi Paatsch, How about using XPath to get the element in just one line of code rather then using the loops? In your case it would be something like this: ie.checkbox(:xpath, "//td[contains(., 'Test3')]/../td/input/").click() This XPath query first select the containing text Test3 (this is what you said is fixed and known before hand), then it goes to its parent i.e. and then traverse down the tree to first and then element inside that which is the checkbox element that you want. For using XPath download the tar ball from HEAD and read the documentation under the docs section. Hope this helps.

All I need now are developers who never check in bugs and I won't need to wrestle with smoke tests at all. Unfortunately, fixing the bug doesn't get rid of the orphan IE window from the last run of the test suite. And because of the way my team develops smoke tests for this app, this is a common pattern for a bug in smoke tests; the smoke test system ought to be able to catch and handle it gracefully.

This happens to me all the time too. I've been meaning to try out this solution mentioned on the list in November: http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general%40rubyforge.org/msg01861.html I haven't tried it out yet, though. I think that was the solution someone referred to earlier in this thread.

But if you are getting the collection of objects with the same name and then trying to sort that array you can't. The reason is that the array of controls is really not an array it is unique object collection. If you want to send me some code I can take a look at it and see what I can come up with. The other thing that may help though I don't know your circumstance is that you can use Xpath expressions against the DOM so you might be able to do something like that. See the previous post below that might be able to help you out. Sergio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ PREVIOUS POST: Hi Paatsch, How about using XPath to get the element in just one line of code rather then using the loops? In your case it would be something like this: ie.checkbox(:xpath, "//td[contains(., 'Test3')]/../td/input/").click() This XPath query first select the containing text Test3 (this is what you said is fixed and known before hand), then it goes to its parent i.e. and then traverse down the tree to first and then element inside that which is the checkbox element that you want. For using XPath download the tar ball from HEAD and read the documentation under the docs section. Hope this helps.

Well, the lovely thing about open-source interpreted code is that you can duplicate it and hack it. One very inelegant but brutally effective way that I might do it is to set a global variable and put a conditional (and an error message) around the call to check_http_error, thus if SMOKE_TEST puts "Ignoring call to check_http_error" else check_http_error end Another would be to use the Windows API to find the handle of the IE window and send the message to kill the process. ---Michael B.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I'm not sure what your question is. Do you need help doing this? Or do you have a method and want to compare yours with others that are possibly more "elegant"? This can be done very simply. Create your test methods using "def". Place them in testexecution.rb. Then put "require testexecution" in the scripts that use these methods. You can also use Modules if you want. They are arguably more "elegant" but that really depends on your situation.

Due to my browser security settings -- I'm getting the following ActiveX control upon download: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. Click here for options..." I'd like to be able to detect this and then issue the click on the download button (ie. start it going ).

What do I mean? Well, when some of the windows close in our sites, the application throws a 'Are you sure you want to leave?' window. I tried a bunch of different ways to attach that window to a new object and then close it - to no avail. So what I did stumble on was putting Watir to sleep for a little - let the window pop - try to attach and then close it. Something like this in a teardown method: def teardown @ie.close sleep 2 @ie_pop = IE.attach(:title, "Some Title") @ie_pop.close end You can also wrap that with a begin/resuce/end statement to catch any exceptions if there are cases where the window doesn't pop. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But if you are getting the collection of objects with the same name and then trying to sort that array you can't. The reason is that the array of controls is really not an array it is unique object collection. If you want to send me some code I can take a look at it and see what I can come up with. The other thing that may help though I don't know your circumstance is that you can use Xpath expressions against the DOM so you might be able to do something like that. See the previous post below that might be able to help you out. Sergio ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ PREVIOUS POST: Hi Paatsch, How about using XPath to get the element in just one line of code rather then using the loops? In your case it would be something like this: ie.checkbox(:xpath, "//td[contains(., 'Test3')]/../td/input/").click() This XPath query first select the containing text Test3 (this is what you said is fixed and known before hand), then it goes to its parent i.e. and then traverse down the tree to first and then element inside that which is the checkbox element that you want. For using XPath download the tar ball from HEAD and read the documentation under the docs section. Hope this helps.

So if you know the index of the hyperlink you can just do that. Or you can loop through them all and try to determine which one to use. hyperlinks[1].click() or for I in 0..hyperlinks.length do something with --> hyperlinks[i] end Of course this is just one option.

For example, if I open a page with the following html with a Watir program:
Operation Value Status
Edit Print
Delete Email
Record 1
Printed Yesterday
Emailed Today
Edit Print
Delete Email
Record 2
Printed Today
Emailed Yesterday
Edit Print
Delete Email
Record 3
Printed Never
Emailed Never
Embedded Table Example Then the table "mytable" displays the following information: table 1: type: id: mytable name: value: disabled: false rows: 16 cols: 3 Whereas I would expect 3 rows and 3 columns. Furthermore, calling column_values(2) does not work at all, whereas I would expect [Record 1, Record 2, Record 3]. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong. Is there a workaround that would allow me to do things such as search the table to find what row has a particular value in a particular column even though the number of rows is incorrect.

If so then you could try accessing the td directly and calling the click method on it. This can be done with javascript using the following code. ie_browser.getDocument().getElementById("[table cell id]").click() That should work if you can do something like that. ________________________________ From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Chintakrindi Meghanath Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 10:27 AM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Tab Click HI All Can anyone , give solution, I am struck at this point .

First I use WinWait like this: autoit.WinWait "File Download" ...and it works fine. It blocks until the file download window appears. So far so good. However, I then want to click on the 'Save' button on that window, which I try to do like this: autoit.ControlClick ("File Download", "", "&Save") ...This has the effect of moving the focus of the 'file download' window to the 'Save' button (though the 'file download' window does not come to the foreground. Perhaps when I say "focus" I am using the wrong terminology, but I think you get the picture.) and the method call returns "1". However, the button is not clicked. I have tried this from irb and confirmed that if I change the parameters of the call to ControlClick to something wrong, like: ("File Download Foo","","&Save") or ("File Download","","&SaveFoo") then the focus is not changed and the method call returns "0". So something is happening when I call ControlClick, but why is there no clicking happening? Also, calling ControlClick like this: autoit.ControlClick ("File Download", "Do you want to open or save this file?", "&Save") ..does exactly the same thing. By the way, this problem occurs on one computer, but does not on a different machine. On that machine, this stuff works fine. I need to deploy this little script to several people's computers. I am trying to automate a process of logging into a web site and downloading some files. Perhaps watir is not the right tool. On a side note, I tried using Mechanize, which is a gem based on a Perl package of the same name, but for some reason it was rejected and redirected by the server at a certain point in the process. I also don't understand why the docs indicate that when calling some autoit functions you can refer to a control or window by title alone, and sometimes the 'text' of the control is necessary (though that can apparently still be left blank) and sometimes the "controlID" is needed. Using AU3Info.exe I can find controlIDs but I don't think I can get them programmatically.

This is convenient when getting started, but causes bafflement when people want to do anything complex. This is all done by Test::Unit::AutoRunner. In your case, you need to take a look at this (in test/unit/autorunner.rb) and call it with some non-default arguments.

If I get could get Reporter to do anything useful at all, I was planning to feed the results of each test run through Reporter. Or else I would do something else. :) I think I'm missing some basic concept about how Reporter works, though. It's giving me errors no matter how I address it.

Message-ID: <006b01c62615$846b48b0$1402a8c0@Koko> Validating HTML and checking for HTTP errors are vastly different things. Validating HTML is something that you can do by any number of means. Some Web development tools come with syntax validators and link checkers; there is a checker at validator.w3c.org that will ensure that your HTML is syntactically correct. This doesn't mean that there are no errors on your page; it just means that a browser can read it without getting confused, leaving something out, or barfing. And, by the way, WATIR doesn't do any of this, as far as I know. Checking for an HTTP error (which WATIR does do) essentially involves making sure that no problems have cropped up in the transportation or delivery of the page. The most common instance of an HTTP error is that a browser requests a page, and the server reports that it can find the page that you're asking for--HTTP Error 404. WATIR does this to make sure that it can continue to whatever its next step is. WATIR is Web Application Testing (in Ruby), but that doesn't mean that WATIR does the testing, in the same way that a debugger neither finds nor fixes your bugs. WATIR is a tool that helps you to answer questions that you would like to ask about your application. You would be well-advised to read the WATIR User Guide and the sample tests if you haven't done so already. But the question "how do I catch any errors if they exist?" is the oracle problem. An oracle is a principle or mechanism that will help you to recognize a problem. WATIR is a tool that provides some mechanisms to support your principles. ---Michael B. -----Original Message----- From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Chris Schmechel Sent: January 30, 2006 11:34 AM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: [Wtr-general] How do I validate HTML and Javascript?

In fact, at least when I wrote Test::Unit::Reporter, there was no straightforward way to inject a listener to "discovery of a test case" event. I don't know if it has changed since. By the way, I still hold the admin rights to the corresponding RubyForge project. if you use Test::Unit::Reporter nowadays and want it to suck less, feel free to create yourself a RubyForge account and write me for the commit rights.

Apologies, but is there anything besides Reporter that would help me talk to CCNET that sucks less than Reporter? I've got a rubyforge account, but I'm a lot more interested in talking to CruiseControl than I am in have Reporter not suck.

It's convenient that way. :) Seriously, I thought I might have missed some sort of super-brainless CruiseControl integration. I'm definitely going to be studying on Reporter in the very near future.

Yeah, the http://user:pass at URL thing used to work in IE too, but support for that was removed at some point after it began to be widely used as part of a technique to spoof URLs in phishing emails. :) Anyway, you might want to look at the 'WindowLogonExample.rb' and 'WindowLogonExtra.rb' files in the Watir unit tests. Those are more the kind of thing you want, I think. And one of the things that helped me understand ways to use autoit was looking over '\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir\WindowHelper.rb'. Up to and including Watir 1.4.1, it seems this type of task is usually accomplished using multiple Ruby threads, in order to get around the fact that IE blocks when you request a URL that spawns a popup or prompt. The code in one of the threads often just runs a second Ruby script (as shown in WindowLogonExample.rb / WindowLogonExtra.rb). I think the development version of Watir has some fancy new stuff that helps in this area, but I haven't looked at it yet. Anyway, here's a distilled example of the thread technique that might work as a standalone script for your case: --------------------------------- require 'watir' require 'win32ole' autoit = WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control') # URL that kicks off the basic auth prompt: url = "http://quantico.int.apg.aventail.com/secured/" # The title of the prompt dialog: prompt = "Connect to quantico.int.apg.aventail.com" user = "user1" pass = "user1" a = Thread.new { ie = Watir::IE.start(url) } b = Thread.new { autoit.WinWait prompt, "" autoit.Send(user) autoit.Send("{TAB}") autoit.Send(pass) autoit.Send("{ENTER}") } a.join b.join From gavazn at yahoo.com Tue Jan 31 20:25:51 2006 From: gavazn at yahoo.com (Gavazn Vahshi) Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 17:25:51 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Wtr-general] My Tab Click problem Message-ID: <20060201012551.1632.qmail@web42108.mail.yahoo.com> Hi All, I went through the recent email thread for the tab click problem, but unfortunately was unable to solve my problem.
