Subject: [Wtr-general] xpath error

I've also run into some problems with rexml/xpath.

Some one should track down what it is about your html page that is causing
Rexml problems and then submit a bug report to the rexml project. When you
get an Rexml bug number, it would hurt to include in a Jira/Watir bug report
as well.

My sense is that that using Rexml to parse tidied html is outlying use case
for Rexml and that is why we are seeing these problems. I think the Rexml
team will fix them, but they need to be isolated and reported.

Subject: [Wtr-general] A Proposal for WET UI
Message-ID: <44A825F6.80705@qantom.com>

All,

I have created a draft proposal of a UI for WET. This is an attempt to 
make WET more user-friendly and to allow wet users to easily employ the 
most powerful features of WET like preconditions, teardowns, 
configuration and the XML Object repository. The WET Script assistant 
posted by Venugopal Shenoy, is another important move forward in our 
effort to make WET more usable.

The proposal is at  
http://jira.openqa.org/secure/attachment/10620/UIProposal.pdf

I would appreciate it if folks could go through this and provide your 
valuable comments.

Dear Watir Users,

My Sincere apologies for cross-posting. However since a few of you have 
already been thinking of similar utilities like recorders etc., I am 
sure that I can get some valuable feedback from the Watir community. 
Please send all of your comments, suggestions and feedback on this 
proposal to wet-users at lists.sourceforge.net or post your comments in the 
Jira issue that has been written to track the UI Issue - 
http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WET-23

  You are doing great work. Keep it up. However I would suggest not to resemble WET UI feature names with QTP. For example Object Repository etc.

Message-ID: <416BE996E3CA9548819C278CE307B1D3897AFE@MERCMBX03.na.sas.com>

Is there a preferred way to map out Watir UI components/features before test execution, then possibly "bind" them later? I know there have been some conversations regarding a Watir::Map class, but is there some other way until that feature is added? My main goal is to not duplicate UI features throughout various Test Suites.

Thanks

I know that i was talking about creating a Map class, but recently  i've
found that it was easier to just create small methods that returned various
elements. Here's some of my code:

  class AddMatterDialogMap
    def initialize (modal)
      @browser = modal
    end

    def matter_name; @browser.text_field(:id, 'txtMatterName'); end
    def matter_no; @browser.text_field(:id, 'txtMatterNo'); end
    def work_group; @browser.select_list(:id, 'ddWorkGroup'); end
    def professional_in_charge; @browser.select_list(:id, 'ddPic'); end
    def city; @browser.text_field(:id, 'txtCity'); end
    def zip; @browser.text_field(:id, 'txtZip'); end
    def country; @browser.select_list(:id, 'ddlCountry'); end
    def open_date; @browser.text_field(:id, 'txtOpenDate'); end
    def matter_type; @browser.select_list(:id, 'ddMatterType'); end
    def close_date; @browser.text_field(:id, 'txtCloseDate'); end
    def litigation; @browser.select_list(:id, 'ddLitigation'); end
    def closed; @browser.checkbox(:id, 'chkClosed'); end
    def notes; @browser.text_field(:id, 'txtNotes'); end
  end


So to use this ...

  map = AddMatterDialogMap.new ie
  map.open_date.set '1/1/06'

This is a good solution. But how would you organise your navigaton and
action methods?

for example


      def goto_country_list .... end
      def enter_country(country) ... end

Would you create new classes? At the moment I have a module for each window
with methods contained that are relevant to that window.

Hi Bret;
 
I did a Show_All_Objects on a Sharepoint page and couldn't make heads or tails out of the results. It might be that looking at the generated HTML might be more productive. Main problem seems to be however that WSS fires a popup for user authentication, with all the fun that THAT implies.
 
But then, I tried a record and playback using Microsoft's own Visual Studio Team Test, and it couldn't deal with that authentication popup either <g>.

We use sharepoint at my company and i just looked at the structure of the html of the site. 

It looks like it should be fairly scriptable with Watir. It's mostly organized as a bunch of nested tables. Many of the key elements are tagged with meaningful id's or classes. Some are tagged with long id's that appear to be GUID's.

Hi
 
Right now we are using WinRunner for the testing of the application.
And we implemeted WRSAFS (Open Source WinRunner Framework) which can be used on any type of application.
Most of the scripts are covered in the framework and the user has to only enter the information in the text files. (Data Driven framework)
So, the application is independent of the tool we used.
 
Has anyone  that type of watir framework, so that users not bother about the watir/ ruby etc..
 
Thanks

A number of people have built things like this, ranging widely in
complexity.  It's fairly easy to do, but it demands programming in the
wider Ruby programming language.  There is nothing like this
"built-in" with Watir itself.  Watir is one of many tools (DBI/ODBC;
TMail; etc.) that such a data-driven system might call.

Frankly, i think you might find that it is easier to port SAFS to Watir/Ruby
than any of the other tools it supports. Ruby is a great framework language
and Watir was designed from the beginning to be easy to build with.

I've known Carl Nagle (SAFS creator) for years and indeed his success with
SAFS encouraged me to get more involved in Open Source.

You may want to look at WET. It is another open-source framework that uses
Watir.

Although some people have built Watir-based frameworks that store tests in
spreadsheets (like SAFS), i think you'll find that most people find that
they can create a simple dialect in Ruby that allows them to make tests
simple. This is an advantage that Ruby has over many other languages. I've
been doing a lot of this kind of thing personally lately and need to write
it up....

Frankly, I never use show_all_objects.

I used the IE Dev Toolbar to analyze the page. It is really the very best
tool for this kind of thing. All Watir users should install it now!

Frank,

I was wondering if you could tell me exactly what the "#" operator
does in this case?  I have had a look at the ruby documentation but
cannot find an explanation.  Thanks.

Cheers,
Daniel.

#{} inside double quoted strings lets you include variables in
strings. Like this:

irb(main):001:0> a = 1
=> 1
irb(main):004:0> "a = #{a}"
=> "a = 1"

I just performed a google search for #{} and "#{}" (without quotes and
with quotes) and got very interesting results. No match. I do not
think I have ever seen it before. :)

After a quick test, it looks to me that all queries including only
punctuation result in no match. Interesting.

Message-ID: <A0CC17E6F0735B4E95C33832ECCD676331E40E@enratio-sv03.enratio.com.ar>

Hello Everybody! 

 

I'm trying to find a link with Watir by using 2 regular expressions.. is
this posible?

 

Let's suppose I'm trying to find a link with this url: 

 

http://server.com/jm/sell?act=form&subAct=modif&siteID=MLA&itemID=222459
75

 

And I've defined two RegExp:

 

RegExp1 = "subAct=modif"

RegExp2 = "22245975"

 

I've tried something like..

 

If browser.link(:url, /#{regExp1}#{regExp2}/).exists? == true then

[...]

 

But this doesn't work.. I suppose I need something like / #{regExp1} |
#{regExp2} / (but instead of doing an OR, something that works like an
AND of regexps).

 

Hope you understand my bad english

Any help would be really appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

Rodrigo Julian Martin.

The name for this feature is "string interpolation". You might be able to
find documentation if  you search for that.

Thanks Ravi, it worked! But I'm having another problem right now... the
RegExp1 and RegExp2 could appear in any order in the links... I guess
the sentence you sent me only works if regExp1 ocurrence is Before
regExp2 right?

Zeljko and Bret,

Thanks for that.  As you found out, googling for an explanation wasn't
easy.  Searching for "string interpolation" gives me plenty of
results.  Mind you, the explanation you gave was enough anyway.
Thanks.

Cheers,
Daniel.

Hi Bret
 
I had asked Carl , whether we can use SAFS framework with the watir.
The following is the reply from him.
 
Carl -- We have not developed libraries for WATIR to interface with SAFS or STAF, but my bet is
          that it can be done.  If WATIR can interface to C DLLS or VB DLLs or COM, then it should be
         able to connect with SAFS.
 
Can we call these DLL's from the watir ?
 
Thanks
Meghanath

Yes. Watir controls IE via its COM interface. In fact Watir actually extends
Ruby's COM support (ie. WIN32OLE). Ruby can also directly call any DLL.
Watir uses this ability for our limited support of Windows dialogs.

In other words, Ruby can do all these things, and that is enough to make
SAFS work with Watir.

Could anyone elaborate on this, and maybe give some simple examples? Are
you talking about creating a DSL?

Patrick asked what to do with Watir developers. Nobody said that it should
not be removed, and I guess that Bret is answering most of the questions
there (and he wrote that he would rather see it removed), so I guess it
should be removed. Anybody thinks that it should mirror
wtr-development at rubyforge.org?

Bret, if nobody replies to this in a few days, should I tell Patrick to
remove it?

Patrick needs  forum-watir-users at openqa.org (I guess we should change it to
forum-watir-general at openqa.org) subscribed to wtr-general at rubyforge.org. I
tried to subscribe it, but that e-mail should be verified, and Patrick said
that it is not easy for him to do (but not impossible). He asked if we could
somehow force that subscription without that e-mail verified. Can we ask
rubyforge to force that subscription?

In a word, yes. Here is an example of a test.

      login
      goto AddMatterDialog do
        matter_no "123#{unique}"
        matter_name "My Matter#{unique}"
        open_date '1/1/2006'
        matter_type 'Bankruptcy'
        work_group 'Taggart Corporate Division'
        professional_in_charge 'Hernandez, Mark'
      end
      browser_title.should_equal 'View Matter'


I got a lot of ideas from the Systir testing framework, although i
ended up not actually using this library. I am also making heavy use
of Rspec. Several articles on writing DSLs in Ruby were also helpful.

Message-ID: <72799cd70607070809l6f11fe0au209ac11bb0c10189@mail.gmail.com>

65 people (!) so far are registered for Scripting For Testers (with
Watir) at the Agile2006 conference.  There are still about 200
openings left for the conference itself.

As you probably know, this is the class that Bret and Brian Marick
initiated.  Bret has kept the materials updated and open-source, so
anyone is free to teach the class anywhere they want.

This is probably the last time I'm teaching the course, so if anyone
else is thinking about teaching it, drop me a line.

Hi,
Bret mentioned in one of the posts that in order for watir to be working,
win32ole ruby bindings needed to be patched.

I was wondering for what kind of patch this was?
If I want my own app to be driven using ole, what kind of patch I might
require to add?

I would appreciate pointers to the right forum if this is not the one.
Thanks and Regards,

Is it expected run under linux by any chance?

I've read accounts of folks using WATIR with Linux.
You have to have the Windows API and IE installed to
get it to work. I'm not sure what happens when
FireWatir gets installed as it's using SSH, but seems
like it might be possible. Try Googling WATIR and
Linux...

Is this java script error?

So did i. There were some examples in their docs that their framework didn't
support. I had to ask the authors for details on how to make them work.

I've been collecting notes for an article about the framework i'm building.
I just haven't had the time yet.

Well keep up the excellent work. I was at an agile metrics design course in
London on Thursday and a couple of heads of IT were very interested in
Watir\Ruby. It is still quite surprising how much GUI browser testing is
still manual.

Hi All,

Dave provided me following xpi for jssh and FireWatir worked as expected on
- Fedora  Core
- Firefox 1.5.0.1.

http://people.mozilla.com/~davel/jssh/jssh-Linux-1.5.0.x.xpi

Thanks to Dave for providing me the xpi.
Currently I could only run links_xpath_test.rb.
I haven't tried any other test though.
Next step for me to get the javascript_test.rb working which
involves clicking on the dialog boxes.

Current solution I am planning to implement is to click on the
dialog boxes using external process using dogtail testscripts,
like watir 1.4.

Dogtail is in python. I googled around to search for something
ruby, but in vain.
Any suggestion will be of great help.
Thanks and Regards,
Manish

Hi Bret

Is it very beneficial if we integrate watir with SAFS ?
I have two concerns with SAFS.
	
	i) It seems to be slower (compared to watir) when executing the scripts. 
         Suppose if we integrate, can we maintain the same speed of execution ?

	ii)The data files (input files) are the text files.Its tedious for user to enter the test files.
	   If the input is from xls/csv its better.

So, my question is cant, we develop that type of framework only with watir/ruby and not dependant on any other framework.

Thanks
Meghanath

Regardless of whether "testval" (in this case ASDF1234) is in the
database, the conditional logic always returns true.

The select statement is working, but I think the syntax of my if/else
conditional logic is incorrect.

 

 

________________________________

require "dbi"

$testval='ASDF1234'

dbh = DBI.connect("dbi:ODBC:QAdatabase", "user", "password")

$search = dbh.select_all("SELECT T_COLUMN FROM QA.TEMP_TABLE WHERE
T_COLUMN = '#{$testval}' " )

 

if ( $testval = $search )

   puts "test value in the database"

else

  puts "test value is NOT in the database"

end

It is fairly difficult to develop testing frameworks in the scripting
languages used by many testing tools. This is one of the reasons why SAFS
was developed. I believe it was developed in VB or C or C++ and then made
available via DLL and COM API's.

Ruby is a great language for developing frameworks. Arguably better than VB
or C or C++. Many people have developed data-driven testing frameworks in
Ruby for Watir.

I can see two reasons for directly using SAFS with Watir.
1. You like the way SAFS is structured.
2. You already have a lot of tests already in SAFS, but want to now execute
them with Watir.

It doesn't sound like either of these is true for you.

if ( $testval = $search )

should be

if ( $testval == $search )

there may be other problems too - do you need to specify which row column the value comes from? ( I cant remeber how this works off the top of my head)

ie - perhaps it also needs to be, where [0][0] is the row and column number from the result set
if ( $testval[0][0] == $search )

Regardless of whether "testval" (in this case ASDF1234) is in the
database, the conditional logic always returns true.

The select statement is working, but I think the syntax of my if/else
conditional logic is incorrect.

The most likely source of the problem is that you are assigning, not
checking equality.  You have
if ( $testval = $search )
and you should have
if $testval == $search

BTW, do you really need those to be global variables?  Or are you a
Perl refugee?  :)

Also, make sure you know what DBI is returning.  I use ODBC not DBI,
but ODBC returns an Array of Arrays (AoA) where the first value in the
array is the column *name* and the second value is the column *value*.
 So if I have a table

tablex
--------------------------
column1 column2
------------  ------------
123         abc
456         def


and I do SELECT * FROM tablex WHERE column1 = '123' what comes back is

[['column1','column2'],['123','abc']]

I suggest you also do a 'puts $search' to see what's really coming  back.

Hi Bret
 
You are absoulutely right. In fact I agree with both the points.
It is well structured and also most of the scripts (text files) were generated.
 
But as I mentioned my concerns are excecution speed (not as speed as watir) and input files (taking input from xls/csv instead of text fiels).
Even I raised these questions in the SAFS discussion forum.
 
And also , I think it has dependencies with other frameworks like STAF etc.
 
Thanks
Meghanath

Hi Bret

Is it very beneficial if we integrate watir with SAFS ?
I have two concerns with SAFS. 

        i) It seems to be slower (compared to watir) when executing the scripts.
         Suppose if we integrate, can we maintain the same speed of execution ?

        ii)The data files (input files) are the text files.Its tedious for user to enter the test files.
           If the input is from xls/csv its better.

So, my question is cant, we develop that type of framework only with watir/ruby and not dependant on any other framework. 

Thanks
Meghanath


It is fairly difficult to develop testing frameworks in the scripting languages used by many testing tools. This is one of the reasons why SAFS was developed. I believe it was developed in VB or C or C++ and then made available via DLL and COM API's. 

Ruby is a great language for developing frameworks. Arguably better than VB or C or C++. Many people have developed data-driven testing frameworks in Ruby for Watir.

I can see two reasons for directly using SAFS with Watir. 
1. You like the way SAFS is structured.
2. You already have a lot of tests already in SAFS, but want to now execute them with Watir.

It doesn't sound like either of these is true for you.

Should be:

If ( $testval == $search[0][0])

Not the other way around. $search is your results set as per this line
of code: 

$search = dbh.select_all("SELECT T_COLUMN FROM QA.TEMP_TABLE WHERE
T_COLUMN = '#{$testval}' " )

here is a usefull little excerpt from
http://www.kitebird.com/articles/rubydbi.html#TOC_10
[excerpt]
   row = dbh.select_one(statement)
   rows = dbh.select_all(statement)

select_one executes a query and returns the first row as an array, or
nil if the query returns no rows. select_all returns an array of
DBI::Row objects. (You can access the contents of these objects as
discussed earlier.) The array will be empty if the query returns no
rows.

Message-ID: <493148DCF171954FBBF8E8AAB261638C0575BC@msgswbmnmsp35.wellsfargo.com>

Hello,
 
I'm testing on a QA site that keeps giving me that annoying "This page
contains both secure and nonsecure items" that keeps interfering with my
scripts. Now I know because of the environment I'm working in I will be
accessing secure and nonsecure sites causing this message to appear, so
my solution is to dismiss the dialog box from within my scripts. So far
I've tried all the tricks I've learned since I started using WATIR for
handling popup messages, but I've had no success. 
 
Has anybody encountered this problem before? Has anybody successfully
been able to dismiss this dialog box?
 
Thanks in advance.

Use a begin/rescue, or even better, and assert_equal() statement
instead of the if() that you have.  Ruby won't let you operate on an
object that does not exist.

You might try reducing your security permissions in ie, modifying the
security settings in the advanced tab or include the domains as trusted
sites in IE's settings.  I'd go backwards to forwards on my suggestions.

Message-ID: <44B2CB5E.8030301@tower-mt.com>

I've seen comments here and there on the net about folks running Watir 
under Wine or CrossOver Office.  I've been trying both and have been 
having some problems.

I've installed the latest Ruby one-click-installer and added c:\ruby\bin 
to the Wine path, and confirmed that path:

    $ wine ruby -e "puts \"#{ENV[\'PATH\']}\""
    C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System;C:\ruby\bin


While Wine can find C:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe using that path, Ruby isn't 
able to locate commands using the same path, like IRB or GEM.  I was 
able to get gem to work by using the full path to the gem command ("wine 
ruby 'C:\ruby\bin\gem' list")and was able to get into IRB using wcmd. 

Has anyone else been running Watir under Wine that could give me some 
pointers on how to get Ruby and Watir configured correctly to run under 
Wine or CrossOver Office?

Hi Manish,

Its a great news that you were able to run FireWatir on Linux. As far as I
know you can run FireWatir on any platform by removing the code that access
Win32 objects, or that uses Win32 API for clicking on the dialogs. I was
able to run it on MAC here by including this code only when required i.e. I
include the code only when a new instance of IE is created.

So theoretically it is possible to run FireWatir on any platform. The only
problem is what you are facing right now i.e. how to click the dialog boxes
on that particular platform? Once we find solution to this, WATiR can be
made a multi-platform testing tool.

Regards,
Angrez

Hello David! 

 

I was facing the same problem in my tests, why don't you try installing
WET? It has great support for handling modal popups like these...

 

An example of code using WET:

 

$browser_wet=Browser.new()

$browser_wet.goto(url, OUTOFPROCESS) #If the popup appears at load time,
use this.. 

$browser_wet.Dialog("title:=Security Alert").Button("index:=1").click

 

 

If the popup appears after clicking a link, button or image, use
sentences like this:

 

browser_wet.Link("text:=Open Security Popup").click_without_blocking

browser_wet.Dialog("title:=Security Alert").Button("index:=1").click

 

 

Hope this help, try it out...

I guess latest Watir have support for this kind of popup too, but I'm
not sure because I couldn't upgrade to 1.5 yet.

 

Cheers!

Rodrigo Julian Martin

Hello,

 

I'm testing on a QA site that keeps giving me that annoying "This page
contains both secure and nonsecure items" that keeps interfering with my
scripts. Now I know because of the environment I'm working in I will be
accessing secure and nonsecure sites causing this message to appear, so
my solution is to dismiss the dialog box from within my scripts. So far
I've tried all the tricks I've learned since I started using WATIR for
handling popup messages, but I've had no success. 

 

Has anybody encountered this problem before? Has anybody successfully
been able to dismiss this dialog box?

 

Thanks in advance.

Speaking of multi-platform, I've made some good progress on
SafariWatir.  Anyone interested in helping out with this?  I'm using
Applescript's "do JavaScript" method to make it work.

Still on our to-do list. I mostly keep putting it off because i always find
it easier to just avoid the popups in the first place.

I have some test scripts that have been here before I started. After
upgrading to 1.5 from 1.4 I get the following errors in my test scripts

NoMethodError: undefined method `assert_arrayEquals' for
#<TC_User:0x2bdbea8>

 

Is there a  way to get that method back? Or can I replace it easily with
another method? It is used in a whole bunch of places and I would love
to be able to basically do a find and replace on it.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

You could write your own, but the coolest way I know to do this is like

require 'test/unit'

class Foo < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_foo
array_1 = [1,2,3]
array_2 = [1,2,3]

assert_equal(array_1 - array_2 ,[])

end
end

That doesn't quite cut it.  Check this out...

irb(main):001:0> a = [1, 2]
=> [1, 2]
irb(main):002:0> b = [1, 2, 3]
=> [1, 2, 3]

Dang. I didn't think of that.  I've got some refactoring to do.  :)
This'd work though:

require 'test/unit'

class Foo < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_foo
array_1 = [1,2,3]
array_2 = [1,2,3]

assert_equal(array_1 - array_2 ,[])

We have been using multiple instances if IE so that we can run multiple 
instances of our programs simultaneously. There are various issues this 
raises, and until now we have been getting along with them, but now some 
are starting to get a bit sticky.

I would like to know how to access any and all available session 
information that can be gleaned via Watir. I saw an old reference to 
"ie.ie.cookie", but this no longer works. I was able to get 
ie.document.cookie, but that does not look quite like what I expected.

Any information on how to get as much session information as I can from 
Watir would be appreciated.

I think it wasn't implemented very well.  It's not part of the regular
'test/unit' code.  Somebody (Paul, I think) built it for convenience
in testing Watir itself.  It wasn't really intended to be a part of
normal, regular test/unit type tests.  I can't remember what the issue
was, though.

Seriously, though, you could absolutely write your own-- just add it
to the 'test/unit.rb' code or add it somewhere in the Watir 'require',
and you'll be ready to go.  And, your very own assert_array_equals
will behave exactly like you want it to, because you wrote it.

I took a look at some of my actual tests, and this handles the case
where you want [1,2,3] and [3,2,1] to pass.  Even better:

 require 'test/unit'

 class Foo < Test::Unit::TestCase
 def test_foo
 array_1 = [1,2,3]
 array_2 = [3,2,1]

 assert_equal(array_1.sort - array_2.sort ,[])
 assert_equal(array_2.sort - array_1.sort ,[])

That method appears to be in the testUnitAddons.rb file in the watir
directory in 1.4 -- can't you simply do one of the following:
 1-     copy the method and paste it into the 1.5 testUnitAddons.rb file
(assuming it exists - I can't confirm as I
        haven't been able to install and use 1.5 successfully yet -
problems with the attach method),
 2-     extend the Test::Unit::Assertions module in your test file
 3-     simply require testUnitAddons.rb in your test files?

Below is the method from Test::Unit::Assertions in testUnitAddons.rb

    def assert_arrayEquals(expectArray, actualArray, message = nil )
        _wrap_assertion do
          assert_block("assert should not be called with a block.") {
!block_given? }
          assert_equal(expectArray.length, actualArray.length, "Lengths
did not match")

          assert_block("contents are different." ){  compareArrays(
expectArray, actualArray)  }
       end  #_wrap
    end #def

Thank you! This is really what I was looking for. Great. I don't have to
rewrite too much now. I'll give this a shot and let you know if it
doesn't work out.
Previous tester probably shouldn't have used that method. He used it all
over the place in the old scripts, I wont use it any new ones.

Cheers!

Has anyone written code to handle <UL>/<OL> and <LI> tags -- as a
collection with iterators?
I have the following HTML -- and I'd like to be able to handle the LIs
as a collection and iterate through them (and access the link within)
based on the text -- has anyone done this?  If not I presume I'll have
to extend watir and essentially clone the  Spans, Divs or Ps classes and
methods?
Any suggestions?

I'd like to do something link this:

$ie.lis.each do |li|
  if li.text == /FOO/
     puts 'FOO found'
     li.link(:index, 1).click
  else
     puts 'FOO not found'
  end
end

<span class="errorMsg" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><p>This document can
not be saved until the following issues are resolved: </p>
    <ul>
        <li>REVENUE CITY: Please fill in this required field.
            <a onclick="ClickByID2('RevenueCity')">
            <img style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: 0px" height="13" alt="Go to the

If anyone else runs into this problem you can simply do

def assert_arrayEquals a1, a2
  assert_equal a1, a2
end

and now your tests will work.

That's what Dave and I were kind of discussing.  I think the original
assert would pass if you compared [1,2,3] and [3,2,1], and would also
give you an error msg. if the arrays had different number of elements.

So should I use this instead of the original code for this method?

I actually don't think that was what the original code was trying to do. But
since it was undocumented and had not unit tests, that makes it hard to
figure out. That's kinda why i removed it.

I do know that when i removed it, i simply replaced all calls to
assert_arrayEqual with calls to assert_equal. And the tests still passed.

My advice would be to replace all mentions of the method with calls to
assert_equal.

But some people who are conservative might prefer using the new method
definition i provided below as it would require changing fewer files.

I recommend extending Watir.

I've been steadily reducing the amount of code it takes to support a new tag
in Watir. This shouldn't be very hard. It should take about 13 lines of code
to add support for each each of these in 1.5 -- if you include "end" as a
line of code.

I've recently been reading up about meta programming and suspect that i
could rework Watir so that adding support for tags like these would only
take three or four lines of code.

Thanks Bret -- took a few more lines in 1.4.2 (as I mentioned earlier I
haven't had success with 1.5 -- receive error on IE.attach) -- anyway
here's the code if anyone wants it -- including a test and the html for
the test file.  Basically someone can see what methods/classes were
required to add the element.

I think that meta programming idea sounds really cool, and I'd think
could allow for dynamic extension for new/different tags -- especially
since this code is an exact dupe of div (and span and p and others I
suspect) -- just replacing li for div (correct case of course).

Subject: [Wtr-general] FireWatir deserves its own project
Message-ID: <ade75c5b0607112327m15ea8c8bld1a1d372763c900c@mail.gmail.com>

There have been several inquiries lately asking about FireWatir, getting it
to run on Mac and Linux, and about our future plans to integrate with the
main Watir code base.

Most of the work (all?) on FireWatir has been done by Angrez Singh and his
partner Abishek. Angrez has been busy lately and has not had the time to
reply to all the requests and suggestions and patches. But he remains
committed to FireWatir.

Personally, i very much support the idea of getting Watir to work on Mac and
Linux, but i will not be coordinating this effort. My current job has me
solidly in the Windows world, and i've probably made less of use of
Cygwin/Linux/Unix in the past six months that at any previous time in my
career. (Some time ago i made a few changes to Watir to ensure that it could
run in Cygwin, which was important to me at the time.) In any case, I've
reviewed the FireWatir code and it is not clear to me that there is much
overlap between the code needed to support FireFox and the code needed by
Watir/IE. Therefore, i am suggesting that it be run as a separate project.
The code base is currently hosted as a branch of the Watir code base, but i
frankly don't see it being merged back in to trunk. I suggest that it be
more formally moved into a separate repository: it could be a firewatir
module in the existing Watir SVN repo at OpenQA. Or a separate project
entirely on OpenQA or RubyForge. I'm happy to support it in any of these
forms.

The only real significant overlap that i see is with the Windows Dialog Box
support, which is only useful for FireFox on Windows. It is also my view
that this code in Watir is embarrassing unreliable and hard to use. I have
some ideas on how to improve it, and have committed some partial
improvements to it to SVN, but I haven't really been motivated to follow
through on this. It bothers me that so many people struggle with winclicker
and all, but personally, i find that i can usually just avoid the dialogs
entirely. I realize that this isn't always possible -- but it hasn't been
something that has gotten in my way. Not yet any how. The approach i've
mainly been taking is "steal from WET". They've mostly figured out how to
make this stuff work reliably.

I think what i'd really like to see is someone take the WET dialog support
that Raghu and Satya have developed and then package it as a separate gem
that could be used by Watir and FireWatir/Windows and WET. I seem to recall
Kingsley sending me a private note that he was working on this, but haven't
seen much announced.

Anyway, that is what i suggest. I also would like to mention some of Watir's
history. Watir grew out of the Web Testing with Ruby project and was made of
experiments with how to use Ruby for web testing. Chris Morris published the
first IE/COM driver in Ruby. I started making modifications to this, Paul
Rogers got ideas for making his own, and then Paul and I decided to work to
gether to make a new one from scratch, based on TDD, so that it would have
unit tests for all its features. That is what turned into Watir.

Watir is becoming more mature, which makes its development more
conservative. Many of the people who's suggestions and contributions have
been rejected have come to understand what it means when we have a large
established base of users who don't think kindly to API changes unless they
are strictly necessary. Ev
