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. Even pulling out something peripheral like
assert_arrayEquals has caused some alarm.

But what FireWatir needs is more experimentation, and that means that it
needs to be developed according to different development rules from Watir. I
am happy to consult, and to hear any ideas about how it might develop
differently, but i think it is time for it to spread its wings, and am not
so sure that it wouldn't even be best if there were a couple active versions
of Ruby/FireFox drivers, free to share code and ideas between them, but with
out too much worry about consistency and agreement.

This bothers me a lot. I need to add some diagnostics to IE.attach in
1.5trunk and then have you try it again and send the diagnostics
report. Don't
let me forget about this.

from what I can gather the one click installer, installs by default the
watir in 2 different places

within the ruby path: 'C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir'

and within program files.

I have downloaded the latest build. There is no installer in this. Should I
just overwrite the new 'watir' folder with the old one in the ruby install
folder?

cheers

The benefits of SAFS are:

1) It is tool independent (with similar test tables you can use different
tools [upto yet Winrunner, Robot Classic, RFT, some keywords for Abbot).
2) You don't need to know how to program to construct your own auto-tests
3) The test tables can bring different stakeholders together (i.e. BA's,
test-designers, test-automators etc).

Drawbacks.

1) Painfully slow in its implementation and execution.
2) Try version controlling a shed load of spreadsheets
3) The low-level sheets can get a little esoteric.

Watir

Benefits,

1) A scripting language like Ruby is fast and highly productive. Use scite
and irb and your away. I am coming to the conclusion that you don't even
need an ide.
2) The fundamentals of Ruby to learn are easier than BASIC. My team lead
has no programming experience yet she can review my tests.
3) Got a full OO language; I have been utilising streams and threads. Try
doing that in Robot Classic
4) The DSL stuff bret is working on I think will make it even easier for
all project stakeholders to create tests.
5) Why use Excel? What's wrong with text files? Why not keep the test-data
in a hash-map? Everything then is in one place.

Drawbacks

1) I was struggling with how to structure and organise my tests. I have got
something half decent, but still not entirely pleased with it. Something
good needs to be collaboratively created. Nothing exists without a
framework now, but I don't think the answer for Watir is SAFS.

It's probably too obvious to mention, but since I am the master of all
things obvious, I will:  let's make sure that every driver conforms to
as much as the Watir API as is reasonable.  Ultimately, if we can have
more than one driver then we should be able to use the same Watir
scripts regardless of which browser/OS we're on.

BTW, I just started the SafariWatir project on RubyForge:

Hi,

Is there a better way of sending tabs through Watir than using the windows
scripting host?

 require 'win32ole'
 wsh = WIN32OLE.new("WScript.Shell")
  i=0
  loop do
    wsh.SendKeys "{TAB}"
    i += 1
    break unless i <=14
  end

Hey Aidy,

  You can follow the instructions I put on the Watir FAQ wiki page:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#FAQ-devgem

Make sure to uninstall the one click installer before installing the gem.
Let me know if you have any problems or questions.

Hi Aidy,

  You can send tabs through AutoIt. Take a look at WindowHelper.rb. You can
easily extend it with something like this:
class WindowHelper
  def push_tab
        @autoit.WinWait "Your dialog title", ""
        @autoit.Send "{TAB}"
  end
end

Hi

I completely agree with aidy.
SAFS is slow in its exectuion , as I mentioned in my previous mail.

I prefer xls/csv for the Datadriven because its very easy for the Data Entry.
We faced so many issues/problems with the text files.
There is no other technical reason, only for the comnfort of the data entry.

Thanks
Meghanath

To clarify: it installs the library in the first location and the bonus
files in the second location.

No. Please see
  http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds
for the builds and instructions. Are the instructions here not clear? In
short, do "gem install watir".

Like Charley said, you should uninstall 1.4 first if it was installed with
the one-click installer (not necessary for the 1.4 gem)

Lonny, for someone asking for help, you're going about it all wrong.

Folks who answer questions on this list aren't doing it because it's their
job or because they owe you.  They are doing it out of the general desire to
help the community.  If you are rude to the people who are providing help,
they will cease to answer your requests for help.

Something  like:
"Bruce, I don't think the link you sent accessed the specific area of the
tutorial that you were hoping for.  Either that, or I'm just not sure what
area would help me find answers to my questions regarding session
information."
Might get better results than outright sarcasm.

And, as I stumble off of my soapbox, I realize that it would be even more
polite to use the correct names:
"Bret, I don't think the link you sent accessed the specific area of the
tutorial that you were hoping for.  Either that, or I'm just not sure what
area would help me find answers to my questions regarding session

Not really. But there is a better way to do loops:

  14.times { wsh.SendKeys "{TAB}" }

*       Perhaps it was a mistake or misunderstanding, but it came across
as a rather blatant insult

 

I shouldn't have to really say this sort of thing, and I would prefer if
things like this didn't need to be discussed on this list, but...

If you admit there is possibility that you may have made a mistake in
your interpretation of the Bret's action you cannot justify your
response based on anything being 'blatent' as this would mean there was
no room for interpretation. 

I am personally offended when people who take their free time (which is
never really free) to help others are disrespected by being treated like
they owe you something. 

The opensource community operates almost entirely on voluntary
cooperation, collaboration, and participation. We all are here to give
and receive the gifts of knowledge and information. Lonny, just because
you have volunteered at times to help out and share does not entitle you
to any assistance at all from anyone. If you found Bret's advice less
than usefull,  perhaps you should have politely asked for clarification.
With people as busy as they are, we should strive to be more conscious
and appreciative of when they take time to help us out with what are
essentially our own problems to solve.

 

Mike

With all due respect, Rand, I have been listening in on this forum for
some time, and posting my own suggestions from time to time. My own
advice might not always have been 100% spot-on, but at other times it
definitely helped people here. Nor did I offer advice because I owed it
to anybody. My desire was to help the community.

Bret's link to a page on Internet Explorer was neither on-topic or
useful. Perhaps it was a mistake or misunderstanding, but it came across
as a rather blatant insult. I have no reason to apologize when a polite
request on my part is met with such a rude response.

I'm not quite sure what the basis for your question is. So i'll say some
things and i hope you will find them useful. If not, please provide more
details about what you are looking for.

Please don't take this personally, but since it seems like this is not clear
to everyone on the list, i feel like i need to say that you should not feel
insulted by my response and if you do, it would be better to say so than
respond rudely yourself.

Now for your question.

The WIN32OLE patch was needed for our support for modal dialogs -- which are
an IE-only feature. Specifically, we wrote a DLL that returned a reference
to the DOM in the modal dialog. We needed a way to "cast" this into a
WIN32OLE object. We patched the WIN32OLE library to provide this "casting"
ability. The WIN32OLE patch is included in the Watir source so you can look
at it yourself, if that helps.

Does this help?

Message-ID: <7F2DAB1053EC4D47B821DA0A7BA5E3EBC5F45A@mail-21ps.atlarge.net>

Hello Listfolk.

 

Searching the archives, I noticed that there were some threads about these WIN32OLERuntimeErrors.

 

Here's another one to add to the pile.

 

I will try rebooting my system to see if that resolves most of the issues, but I wanted to alert folks about this test case as well.

 

Background Info

-----------------------

I'm using the Watir 1.4.1 gem under Ruby 1.8 on a WinXp Pro box.

 

I'm seeing the errors when I try to access a link.  This happens some of the time, but not all of the time.

 

Its typical for me, that when I get one of these errors, the same error will appear in other neighboring test cases as well.  Then for some reason, the tests start to run fine again.

 

I'm running my tests under the unit test framework.  The tests usually run fine, but once in a while I'll get the WIN32OLERuntime error to appear to an unknown reason.  My basic structure is the 1st test case will log the user into the system.  The teardown script places the user at a known place in the system, and all the test cases will start from this known state.

 

 

 

The Error Messages Seen

Sounds like a synchronization problem. There was a known synchronization
problem with IE.attach in 1.4.1. That can be avoided if you call wait after
attach. Thus:


                        $ie=IE.attach(:title,/^Compli:/)

                        $ie.wait # add this line

                        $ie.set_fast_speed()

                        navigateToInbox($ie)


But depending on what is in navigateToInbox, i can't tell if that is the
problem here. Can you show the code in navigateToInbox?

And if this change fixes your problem, let us know. I'm wondering if we
shouldn't release this fix as 1.4.2.

I've even run into problems before where $ie.wait didn't seem to do the
trick.  Usually it was when the pages where doing a redirect or some other
craziness that I hadn't planned on.

My workaround was to go ahead and do the $ie.wait, then I threw in some
thing like this:
  xUselessVariable = $ie.contains_text('it_would_never_contain_this_phrase')
  xUselessVariable =
$ie.contains_text('it_would_never_contain_this_phrase_either')
and just ignore the return values...  and do your actions/assertions after
this.
I've did it twice because once helped, but didn't solve it everytime.

I'm not running into those issues anymore.

I know it's a hack, but it sure worked for me.  Hope it helps someone else
out there.

That confirms that it is a synchronization problem. I think those useless
calls are really the moral equivalent of sleep statements.

Probably the cleanest and most reliable solution would be to use this after
your call to IE.attach:

  require 'watir/waiter'
  WATIR::Waiter.wait_until { $ie.some_element_i_know_should_be_there.exists?
}

Although this library is packaged with Watir 1.5, it is a separate file
(watir/waiter.rb) and can be used with 1.4 if you copy it over manually.

Carl Nagle wrote around 12 Jul 2006 on the RRAFS list

You seem to be missing part of the appeal behind the purpose of SAFS and
the original post concerning a WATIR engine.  With a WATIR engine we could
be testing our web content with WATIR as a SAFS engine.  We could take a
test that originally ran with SAFS for Rational Robot (RRAFS) and run it
with SAFS for WATIR (WAFS?) instead, and vice-versa.  We could also use
both and not have to pick just one tool or the other.  And when we have to
run the same tests on Linux or Unix the tests could still be portable on
whatever engine we choose to provide there (Selenium, LiveConnect, Common
DOM, etc.).

The idea is to provide test portability, tool-independence, and a common
infrastructure for test development, reporting, and execution regardless of
the tools that will be used.  As a SAS example, we would still use the same
test development tools (Excel or Test Composer) regardless of whether we
were using SAFS for Rational Robot (slow) or SAFS for Watir (fast).  The
"test data" would be unified because both engines are SAFS engines, and the
reporting would all stem from the same SAFS assets and services.

Your ideas of what could\should be unified or shared is exactly what SAFS
attempts to satisfy--a framework on which any and all of these things can
be attached and shared.  Most actually exist already in one form or another
and the mechanisms to add others is present and documented.  The issue, of
course, is largely one of time and resources.  You or anyone could help
implement a Watir engine for SAFS.  Then folks wouldn't have to choose
between writing Watir tests in Ruby or writing portable tests in SAFS.

In any event, thanks for sharing your ideas and furthering this discussion!

With every test case, I write a Test Class

An example:

class ST_LTD_3

  def  initialize
    $log.test_info(self.class, 'Select Depot which has territories and
click search',
                                    'All matching territories are
displayed')


    string_to_search = ["DF1", "MA Portfolio"]

    start_browser
    login
    goto_territory_list
    search_territory("UNITED KINGDOM", "BRISTOL")
    click_search
    string_to_search.each {|x|
      $log.verify_html(x)
    }
    rescue => e
      p "test failed: #{e.message}"
      p e.backtrace
    ensure
    log_out
    close_window
  end

end

breakdown

$log.test_info(self.class, 'Select Depot which has territories and click
search',
                                    'All matching territories are
displayed')

This logs the test name, a description of the test and the expected result
to an xml file


start_browser
login

each window or area of funtionality is in a module

module Browser
  def
start_browser(url='http://gbahevm06l24.gb.tntpost.com:9081/wps/portal')
    $ie = Watir::IE.new
    $ie.goto(url)
    $ie.maximize()
  end
end

module Login
  def login(username='g126ahe', password='g126ahe')
    $ie.link(:text, 'Log in').click
    $ie.text_field(:name, /userid/).set(username)
    $ie.text_field(:name, /password/).set(password)
    $ie.button(:value,'Log in').click
  end
  def log_out
    $ie.link(:text, 'Log out').click
  end
end


this logs a pass or fail to the xml log
$log.verify_html(x)

full xml log file

class Logging
  def initialize
      @doc = Document.new
      xmldecl = XMLDecl.default
      @doc.add(xmldecl)
      @root = @doc.add_element 'testresults'
  end

  def verify_html(vp_text) #add optional params
    if $ie.contains_text(vp_text)
      self.test_results('pass')
    else
      self.test_results('fail', "#{vp_text} is NOT on the page")
    end
    #do a not here
  end

  def test_info(test_name, desc, exp)
    @test = @root.add_element 'test'
    @test.attributes["id"] = test_name
    des= @test.add_element 'description'
    des.text = desc
    res = @test.add_element 'expected'
    res.text = exp
  end


  def test_results(result, *msg)
    if result.upcase == 'PASS' then
      test_status= @test.add_element 'teststatus'
      test_status.text = 'PASS'
    elsif result.upcase == 'FAIL' then
      fail = @test.add_element 'teststatus'
      fail.text = 'FAIL!'
      fail_msg = @test.add_element 'failmessage'
      fail_msg.text = msg
    elsif  result.upcase == 'SKIP'
      skip = @test.add_element 'teststatus'
      skip.text = 'SKIP'
      skip_msg = @test.add_element 'skipmessage'
      fail_msg.text = msg
    end
 end

def write_xml_to_file
  @doc.write($stdout, 1)
  @doc.write(File.open("C:/test_results.xml","w"))
end

end

the xml output is something like this

<testresults>
- <test id="ST_LTD_1">
  <description>Check that window displayed is correct</description>
  <expected>Correct image is displayed</expected>
  <pass>PASS</pass>
  </test>
- <test id="ST_LTD_2">
  <description>Select to Add an employee in a role</description>
  <expected>Employee was assigned to territory successfully</expected>
  <fail>FAIL!</fail>
  <failmessage>security not implemented gonna fail</failmessage>
  </test>
</testresults>

to read in a csv do something like this

 def enter_territory
    require 'csv'
    reader = CSV.open('C:\test_data', 'r')
    header = reader.shift
    reader.each{|row| next unless row.any?
      p row
    }
 end

the appmap bit, I am going to steal of Bret's suggestion in a previous post

 feedback or suggestions welcome

Hi guys,

I've found a problem similar to mine that was discussed on the list in May
(I've borrowed the message header). Does anybody know what happened with it?
I've hit it again in my testing. Let me explain what's happening...

My environment:

Windows XP SP2
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]
watir-1.5.1.1045

The error:

    OLE error code:80004005 in <Unknown>
      <No Description>
    HRESULT error code:0x80020009
      Exception occurred.       from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-
1.5.1.1045/./watir.rb:1640:in `wait'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1045/./watir.rb:2401:in
`click'
        from b.rb:57

What's happening in the web application:

1/ A popup window with a form is created and attached to
2/ assorted text fields are filled in
3/ the form is submitted causing the popup window to close
4/ ruby exits with the exception thrown above

Thanks for any help,

Hi Aidy

Thanks for your information.
Does the framework has the feature which I mentioned in my eariler email
like the enduser need not to worry about the ruby/watir, he needs to modify only the data files or
the user needs to modify the script ?

This logs the test name, a description of the test and the expected result
to an xml file


start_browser
login

each window or area of funtionality is in a module

module Browser
  def

    $ie = Watir::IE.new
    $ie.goto(url)
    $ie.maximize()
  end
end

module Login
  def login(username='g126ahe', password='g126ahe')
    $ie.link(:text, 'Log in').click
    $ie.text_field(:name, /userid/).set(username)
    $ie.text_field(:name, /password/).set(password)
    $ie.button(:value,'Log in').click
  end
  def log_out
    $ie.link(:text, 'Log out').click
  end
end


this logs a pass or fail to the xml log
$log.verify_html(x)

full xml log file

class Logging
  def initialize
      @doc = Document.new
      xmldecl = XMLDecl.default
      @doc.add(xmldecl)
      @root = @doc.add_element 'testresults'
  end

  def verify_html(vp_text) #add optional params
    if $ie.contains_text(vp_text)
      self.test_results('pass')
    else
      self.test_results('fail', "#{vp_text} is NOT on the page")
    end
    #do a not here
  end

  def test_info(test_name, desc, exp)
    @test = @root.add_element 'test'
    @test.attributes["id"] = test_name
    des= @test.add_element 'description'
    des.text = desc
    res = @test.add_element 'expected'
    res.text = exp
  end


  def test_results(result, *msg)
    if result.upcase == 'PASS' then
      test_status= @test.add_element 'teststatus'
      test_status.text = 'PASS'
    elsif result.upcase == 'FAIL' then
      fail = @test.add_element 'teststatus'
      fail.text = 'FAIL!'
      fail_msg = @test.add_element 'failmessage'
      fail_msg.text = msg
    elsif  result.upcase == 'SKIP'
      skip = @test.add_element 'teststatus'
      skip.text = 'SKIP'
      skip_msg = @test.add_element 'skipmessage'
      fail_msg.text = msg
    end
 end

def write_xml_to_file
  @doc.write($stdout, 1)
  @doc.write(File.open("C:/test_results.xml","w"))
end

end

the xml output is something like this

<testresults>
- <test id="ST_LTD_1">
  <description>Check that window displayed is correct</description>
  <expected>Correct image is displayed</expected>
  <pass>PASS</pass>
  </test>
- <test id="ST_LTD_2">
  <description>Select to Add an employee in a role</description>
  <expected>Employee was assigned to territory successfully</expected>
  <fail>FAIL!</fail>
  <failmessage>security not implemented gonna fail</failmessage>
  </test>
</testresults>

to read in a csv do something like this

 def enter_territory
    require 'csv'
    reader = CSV.open('C:\test_data', 'r')
    header = reader.shift
    reader.each{|row| next unless row.any?
      p row
    }
 end

the appmap bit, I am going to steal of Bret's suggestion in a previous post

 feedback or suggestions welcome

Can you try using a "click_no_wait" instead of "click" to submit the form
and close the popup window, and tell us whether the error stops happening?

Hey Bret,

Thanks for your quick response!

"click_no_wait" doesn't seem to work either.

Not keyword driven if that is what you mean. But I don't know if I believe
in that any more. Have a look at WET or converting the CSDDT.

Hi Aidy

Yes you are right. I am talking about the Keyword driven framework.
So,your framework code needs to be modified /added whenever new functionality is 
incorporated in the AUT ?

Thanks

Aidy,

Thanks for sharing Carl's thoughts with us.

I should mention that i have a lot of respect for Carl and the SAFS team. I
had detailed meetings with them to learn about open-source projects. It was
only after that meeting that decide to commit to what eventually became
Watir.

Details from that meeting can be found here:

It may be that the Watir tests should be packaged as a configurable set of
tests that could be used with any of the Watir-Browser projects. Each test
would be tagged to indicate which browser suites it is included in. This
feature could even be used with Watir/IE -- in that we have some tests that
will work with IE in background mode and others that require it be in the
foreground.

But the bigger issue of ensuring compatability between versions of Watir is
tricky. For example, FireWatir doesn't support frames. Is this reasonable?

Fit has something called FAT which are the tests that a Fit implementation
is expected to meet. I think there may be a 1.0 and 1.1 version of these.
We'd have to do something similar for MultiWatir.

And even then, i suspect that each implementation would have some additional
features that were not part of the standard API. For example, Watir gives
direct access to the ole object, but any tests that make use of these won't
be portable. This suggests that each implementation also should have a
"strict" mode where it only allows execution against the core API or least
creates warnings for all other uses. This way, users (or their managers)
could make sure their tests were portable. Otherwise they wouldn't know
until they tried.

Hmm... well I feel a little silly. It did work. Changed the wrong click in
my script. :-(

Thanks for the help Bret.

I suppose that is up to whatever minimum standard is used to determine
whether an API is sufficiently compatible or not.  I like the idea of
having a test suite that determines whether the API has met the
standard ... and I suggest the suite be named Poseidon (god of
wat[i]r).

No doubt.  For example, SafariWatir has close and quit methods.  One
closes the window, while the other quits the application.  Another
example: SafariWatir has an alert method that returns an AlertWindow
that has a click method.  :-)

Great idea.

I put together a half-baked implementation of this in watir/ie in trunk
(watir/dialog.rb, watir/unittests/dialog_test.rb).

I called my method "dialog" instead of "alert". I guess this is a good
question for the community -- what should this method be called? I don't
think anyone is using this method and i have no emotional attachment.

With mine this is how you click an alert button:

ie.dialog.button("OK").click

Comments?

For clarification, this is how you click an alert button with SafariWatir:

browser.alert.click

It doesn't take a parameter since alert boxes only have one button.
There would be a separate method for confirm boxes:

browser.confirm("OK").click
browser.confirm("Cancel").click

Like Bret, I have no emotional attachment.  Just looking to fit in
with the rest of the API.

Hi Bret,
I was trying to understand in general how Ruby provides access to 
win32ole library.
If I want to drive my custom application, do I need to patch win32ole 
binding in
such a way.

I think I will have to do my homework better about ole and ruby ole binding.

I didnt understand the need for patch quite exactly, but more 
understanding of ruby
ole binding will make picture clear.

Thanks anyways.
Regards,
Manish

Instead of having a class map

i.e.

class ObjectMap
  def login_link;$ie.link(:text, 'Log in');end
  def logout_link;$ie.link(:text, 'Log out');end
end

Then

  map = ObjectMap.new
  map.login_link.click
  map.logout_link.click

  why not put the app map in a module

  so in the script we could just go

  login_link.click
  logout_link.click    ?

  Cheers

The purpose of classes and objects (which are created from classes) is to
encapsulate data. In your example, you are on encapsulating data, so you
correct in saying that a module is as good as a class.

This gives you the encapsulation:

class ObjectMap
 def new ie; @ie = ie; end
 def login_link;$ie.link(:text, 'Log in');end
 def logout_link;$ie.link(:text, 'Log out');end
end

Then

 map = ObjectMap.new $ie
 map.login_link.click
 map.logout_link.click

And if you want a cleaner syntax you can do...

ObjectMap.new($ie).instance_eval do
  login_link.click
  logout_link.click
end

I will be on vacation and offline next week.

The list mostly takes care of itself, but once or twice a week a post comes
in that requires approval. the list automatically screens any post that is
over 40 KB. These are either long threads, that haven't been cropped, or
posts that include HTML attachments (normally a good thing). I almost always
approve them, but like the fact that these require manual intervention,
because it probably makes people think twice about long posts in the future.

Would anyone be interested in helping to moderate the list? Paul Rogers is
also set up as a moderator, but I know he sometimes has trouble directly
accessing the list.

Speak up today, before I'm gone. Contact me directly (not the list).

Message-ID: <6368279b0607170634o341e4997tdf3c084d473f9f18@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have spent around 2+ years working with Test Automation tools,
specifically Rational Robot, Rational XDE Tester(now known as RFT).
I was looking through the features of WATIR tool and found it lacking some
good features of commercial tool(may be I overlooked them).
May be I found following missing,
1. objects maps(so that there is centralized repositry of object
definations)
2. Verification points.
3. Inbuilt Logging mechanisms.(this feature many projects ignore, but I
believe this is the most important feature as logs are what finally to be
seen)
4. Managing Tests.
5. Inbuilt keyword driven testing(a DSL to let test writers write tests
without writing ruby code)
6. Recording tool. (I am not sure if it really does not exist in WATIR
world)


Apart from above there are some pain areas with various automation tools.
such things should not be repeated in WATIR.
>From my past expereince, I have few suggestions and I would be glad to share
and contribute to WATIR project.

Please let me know the process/procedure for contributing to WATIR project.

Regards,
Jatinder

Hi Charly,

I am working off ruby 184.17. I have un-installed the one-click installer
and locally gem installed the new watir build to C:\Program Files\Watir.
However the new build (or the  way I am setting it up) freezes my i.e. Is
everyone using ruby 182? Has anyone experienced this problem? The only
thing I really need the latest watir build for is the multiple param object
hook.

Hi Jatinder,

   One of the best ways to contribute is to follow the mailing list and
post. I've answered some of your points below:

Object maps are easy to create in Ruby, you might look at a previous thread
in the last few days on UI Mapping:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general%40rubyforge.org/msg04233.html

Watir has a logger built into it which has a default logger subclass that
writes to STDERR. You can use ie.log(message) if you want to use the default
logger, you can override with your own logger by using the ruby standard
logging library:

Several people have done this,  again see below for a link to WET or take a

Watir is designed to be a base automation library able to be used by a
framework. With Ruby as it's scripting language, it is designed to be as
extensible as you'd like it to be. If you're looking for an example of an
already built framework around Watir, you might want to take a look at WET
which has many of the points you've listed above:
http://www.openqa.org/wet/

Suggestions, questions and feedback are of course always welcome. I hope
that helps.

Hi Aidy

Is your framework is available as open source or its only for the internal purpose ?

Thanks

> If yes, can you send some information about it ?

With every test case, I write a Test Class

An example:

class ST_LTD_3

  def  initialize
    $log.test_info(self.class, 'Select Depot which has territories and
click search',
                                    'All matching territories are
displayed')


    string_to_search = ["DF1", "MA Portfolio"]

    start_browser
    login
    goto_territory_list
    search_territory("UNITED KINGDOM", "BRISTOL")
    click_search
    string_to_search.each {|x|
      $log.verify_html(x)
    }
    rescue => e
      p "test failed: #{e.message}"
      p e.backtrace
    ensure
    log_out
    close_window
  end

end

breakdown

$log.test_info(self.class, 'Select Depot which has territories and click
search',
                                    'All matching territories are
displayed')

This logs the test name, a description of the test and the expected result
to an xml file


start_browser
login

each window or area of funtionality is in a module

module Browser
  def
start_browser(url='http://gbahevm06l24.gb.tntpost.com:9081/wps/portal')
    $ie = Watir::IE.new
    $ie.goto(url)
    $ie.maximize()
  end
end

module Login
  def login(username='g126ahe', password='g126ahe')
    $ie.link(:text, 'Log in').click
    $ie.text_field(:name, /userid/).set(username)
    $ie.text_field(:name, /password/).set(password)
    $ie.button(:value,'Log in').click
  end
  def log_out
    $ie.link(:text, 'Log out').click
  end
end


this logs a pass or fail to the xml log
$log.verify_html(x)

full xml log file

class Logging
  def initialize
      @doc = Document.new
      xmldecl = XMLDecl.default
      @doc.add(xmldecl)
      @root = @doc.add_element 'testresults'
  end

  def verify_html(vp_text) #add optional params
    if $ie.contains_text(vp_text)
      self.test_results('pass')
    else
      self.test_results('fail', "#{vp_text} is NOT on the page")
    end
    #do a not here
  end

  def test_info(test_name, desc, exp)
    @test = @root.add_element 'test'
    @test.attributes["id"] = test_name
    des= @test.add_element 'description'
    des.text = desc
    res = @test.add_element 'expected'
    res.text = exp
  end


  def test_results(result, *msg)
    if result.upcase == 'PASS' then
      test_status= @test.add_element 'teststatus'
      test_status.text = 'PASS'
    elsif result.upcase == 'FAIL' then
      fail = @test.add_element 'teststatus'
      fail.text = 'FAIL!'
      fail_msg = @test.add_element 'failmessage'
      fail_msg.text = msg
    elsif  result.upcase == 'SKIP'
      skip = @test.add_element 'teststatus'
      skip.text = 'SKIP'
      skip_msg = @test.add_element 'skipmessage'
      fail_msg.text = msg
    end
 end

def write_xml_to_file
  @doc.write($stdout, 1)
  @doc.write(File.open("C:/test_results.xml","w"))
end

end

the xml output is something like this

<testresults>
- <test id="ST_LTD_1">
  <description>Check that window displayed is correct</description>
  <expected>Correct image is displayed</expected>
  <pass>PASS</pass>
  </test>
- <test id="ST_LTD_2">
  <description>Select to Add an employee in a role</description>
  <expected>Employee was assigned to territory successfully</expected>
  <fail>FAIL!</fail>
  <failmessage>security not implemented gonna fail</failmessage>
  </test>
</testresults>

to read in a csv do something like this

 def enter_territory
    require 'csv'
    reader = CSV.open('C:\test_data', 'r')
    header = reader.shift
    reader.each{|row| next unless row.any?
      p row
    }
 end

the appmap bit, I am going to steal of Bret's suggestion in a previous post

 feedback or suggestions welcome

Hey Aidy,

   I've been working off of 182, but just moved to 184 last week and
everything's working fine. The gem install should install it to your local
ruby gems directory, I'm not sure what you mean when you say you installed
it to c:\program files\watir, you shouldn't have anything there. You might
want to double check the installed versions by running the Ruby and Watir
version steps in the FAQ. Make sure any previous watir files are cleaned out
from your ruby directory, site_install. Let me know what you find.

I am not aware of any out of the box integration with any defect tracking/ RM tools, but that is not to say that it can't be done.

Since Watir is written in ruby, and you can pretty much do anything you want to in Ruby, it probably can be done.  But it will probably require some investment on your part to make it work.

Hello,

I have just installed Ruby and WATIR on a Windows XP box.

When I try to run the unit tests, I get an error stating that "gem_original_require" is missing.


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 to load -- watir (LoadError)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
        from C:/watir/unittests/../unittests/setup.rb:4
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
        from C:/watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4



I'm not sure if it matters: when I installed WATIR from the .exe package, I got errors about not being able to write to c:\watir until I manually created the directory.  I manually created the c:\watir directory and then installed to it.

Any ideas why I can't run the all_tests.rb script?

Thank you,

Ben Simo

Message-ID: <67A1E8E424B41744A599459FE59EA4D40C5EC4@csgcinml01.cardinalsolutions.com>

The app that I am working with has a lot of popups with important functionality on them.  I have been unsuccessful in getting Watir to see these new windows, and I cant figure out why.  The window Im looking at now appears after a button click:
 
ie.button(:name, "addItem").click
 
and Ive tried all these variations to get it to work:
 
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "Project - Administration -- Web Page Dialog")
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "Project - Administration")
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /Project/)
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /project/)
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, "website list at the bottom of the new window")
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, "website found in the properties of the button")
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, /Project/)
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, /project/)
 
plus a few others, followed by
 
ie2.button(:value, "Cancel").click
 
to see if it worked.
 
It either gives me 'Unable to locate a window with X' (#'s 5 & 6) or it does nothing (most of the rest of them).  When it gets to the window, it just sits and waits, and when I click Cancel it stops the run, and exits with no errors.  So its not finding the window, but not giving me any errors.  
 
I use Starclicker to deal with 'Are you sure Y/N' popups, but I have to actually edit things in these popups.  Is there another way to attach a window, or use functionality on it?

  In my web page there are lots of buttons having same name, they are called using _javascript. They are as follows:
   
   
  <button type="button" name="delete" id="delete" onfiltered="performAction('delete', 'BF');">Delete</button>
   
  <button type="button" name="delete" id="delete" onfiltered="performAction('delete', 'BI');">Delete</button>
   
<button type="button" name="delete" id="delete" onfiltered="performAction('delete', 'KH');">Delete</button>
   

  I am unable to call the click event using ie.button(:name,'delete').click as because all the buttons have same name.
   
  Please send me the solution for this.
  Thanks in Advance
   
  With Regards
  Vikash Kumar

What you are trying to do can't be done with the version of Watir.rb you
are using because the page you are trying to attach to is a Modal
window.  Try this one at:
https://svn.openqa.org/svn/watir/branches/modal_dialog/watir/ (you will
also need the files from the Watir folder--the IEDialog and Win32ole
forders.)

Copy the Watir.rb file (and the watir directory mentioned above) into
you ruby installation directory like:
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8

ie2 = $ie.attach_modal('Project - Administration')

ie2.button(:value, "Cancel").click

--Mark

The app that I am working with has a lot of popups with important
functionality on them.  I have been unsuccessful in getting Watir to see
these new windows, and I cant figure out why.  The window Im looking at
now appears after a button click:
 
ie.button(:name, "addItem").click
 
and Ive tried all these variations to get it to work:
 
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "Project - Administration -- Web Page
Dialog")
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "Project - Administration")
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /Project/)
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /project/)
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, "website list at the bottom of the new
window")
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, "website found in the properties of the
button")
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, /Project/)
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, /project/)
 
plus a few others, followed by
 
ie2.button(:value, "Cancel").click
 
to see if it worked.
 
It either gives me 'Unable to locate a window with X' (#'s 5 & 6) or it
does nothing (most of the rest of them).  When it gets to the window, it
just sits and waits, and when I click Cancel it stops the run, and exits
with no errors.  So its not finding the window, but not giving me any
errors.  
 
I use Starclicker to deal with 'Are you sure Y/N' popups, but I have to
actually edit things in these popups.  Is there another way to attach a
window, or use functionality on it?

Starting at the topmost delete button, count them until you get to the
desired button.

 

$ie.button(:index,3).click --  would click the third from the top delete
button on the page.

Hello, 

I have just installed Ruby and WATIR on a Windows XP box. 

When I try to run the unit tests, I get an error stating that
"gem_original_require" is missing. 

 

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 to load -- watir (LoadError)

        from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require' 
        from C:/watir/unittests/../unittests/setup.rb:4 
        from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require' 
        from C:/watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4 

 

I'm not sure if it matters: when I installed WATIR from the .exe
package, I got errors about not being able to write to c:\watir until I
manually created the directory.  I manually created the c:\watir
directory and then installed to it.

Any ideas why I can't run the all_tests.rb script? 

Thank you, 

Ben Simo

None of your :urls look very much like URLS to me, and if the titles in your
second window are also titles of your first window, you're not likely to
have success.

Try working with IRB, the interactive Ruby interpreter.  After your first
click, try attaching using various options (maybe try matching any pattern
that isn't in your first IE object, using negation?) and then type

ie2.html

and see what you get.

Nice method, from what I can gather #instance_eval is pre-fixing self on
the custom methods. But why are you passing a global into the constructor?

If I remember correctly, this was part of a larger thread, and they were
simply providing examples in the context of the code snippets provided.  So,
the $ie was simply part of that code, and Bret was just providing an answer
that could work for non-globals, as well.

Hi guys.

 

Just wanted to report back to the list on this issue.

 

What I had done:

Put watir/waiter into my 1.4.1 version of watir.  I also had to update watir/exceptions.rb as well.

 

Initially I thought that was working, but after running more tests, the error still appears once in a while.

 

 

The next suggestion was to upgrade my Watir version to 1.5.  I?ll try this at a future time, but not at this moment.

 

Thanks for the suggestions.

-Alan

That confirms that it is a synchronization problem. I think those useless calls are really the moral equivalent of sleep statements.

Probably the cleanest and most reliable solution would be to use this after your call to IE.attach:

  require 'watir/waiter'
  WATIR::Waiter.wait_until { $ie.some_element_i_know_should_be_there.exists? }

Although this library is packaged with Watir 1.5, it is a separate file (watir/waiter.rb) and can be used with 1.4 if you copy it over manually.

I've even run into problems before where $ie.wait didn't seem to do the trick.  Usually it was when the pages where doing a redirect or some other craziness that I hadn't planned on. 

My workaround was to go ahead and do the $ie.wait, then I threw in some thing like this: 
  xUselessVariable = $ie.contains_text('it_would_never_contain_this_phrase')
  xUselessVariable = $ie.contains_text('it_would_never_contain_this_phrase_either')
and just ignore the return values...  and do your actions/assertions after this. 
I've did it twice because once helped, but didn't solve it everytime.

I'm not running into those issues anymore.

I know it's a hack, but it sure worked for me.  Hope it helps someone else out there.

Sounds like a synchronization problem. There was a known synchronization problem with IE.attach in 1.4.1. That can be avoided if you call wait after attach. Thus:

 

                        $ie=IE.attach(:title,/^Compli:/)

                        $ie.wait # add this line 

                        $ie.set_fast_speed()

                        navigateToInbox($ie)

 

But depending on what is in navigateToInbox, i can't tell if that is the problem here. Can you show the code in navigateToInbox?

And if this change fixes your problem, let us know. I'm wondering if we shouldn't release this fix as 1.4.2.

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 to load -- watir (LoadError)

        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require' 
        from C:/watir/unittests/../unittests/setup.rb:4

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

 

I'm not sure if it matters: when I installed WATIR from the .exe package, I got errors about not being able to write to c:\watir until I manually created the directory.  I manually created the c:\watir directory and then installed to it.

Any ideas why I can't run the all_tests.rb script? 

Thank you,

Message-ID: <D77A955D-4264-4CBC-B223-C545D1800D65@hashref.com>

Just in case this rings some bell.

I go to a page that has frames A and B. The latter in turn is a  
frameset with 4 frames, say B1, ..., B4. The main area of the page is  
B3 and I need to follow a link in B2 to change the main area. Problem  
is B3, accessed as

   ie.frame('B').frame('B3')

has the same HTML before and after the link in B2 is clicked. This  
website is quite convoluted, but since Watir asks for frames to IE  
each time I invoke frame() I don't understand what may be happening.  
Any idea?

Message-ID: <20060719023639.92061.qmail@web82805.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

I have a problem with a site taking too long to load.  I'm hoping somebody can point in the right direction. 
  The test environment in which my script runs takes a long time to load images. The following statement waits for the page to be loaded:
   
  $ie.text_field(:name, "username").set(casino_user) 
   
  Is there a way that I can force this statement to start running without waiting for the page to completely load?
  
class LoginCasino 
  def initialize(casino_user, casino_password, casino_url, casino_submit_key, cgc_submit_key) 
      $ie = Watir::IE.start(casino_url)
      if $ie.contains_text("Username:")
        $ie.goto($casino_url+"/security/logoff.do")
      end  
      $ie.text_field(:name, "username").set(casino_user)
      $ie.text_field(:name, "password").set(casino_password)
        if (($casino_url=~/wpt/) || ($casino_url=~/msn/) || ($casino_url=~/vgfo/)) 
          $ie.button(:value, casino_submit_key).click
        elsif (($casino_url=~/cqa/) || ($casino_url=~/cdev/))
          $ie.button(:value, cgc_submit_key).click
        end
      
     #$ie.image(:src, submit_key).click()
  end
    def logout (casino_url)
    if (($casino_url=~/wpt/) || ($casino_url=~/msn/) || ($casino_url=~/vgfo/))
      $ie.goto($casino_url+"/security/logoff.do")
    elsif (($casino_url=~/cqa/) || ($casino_url=~/cdev/))
      $ie.link(:text, "Log Out").click
    end
  end
  
  def shutdown
   $ie.close
   sleep 1
  end
end

    Sir,
  In my web page there are lots of buttons having same name, they are called using javascript. They are as follows:
   
   
  <button type="button" name="delete" id="delete" onfiltered="performAction('delete', 'BF');">Delete</button>
   
  <button type="button" name="delete" id="delete" onfiltered="performAction('delete', 'BI');">Delete</button>
   
<button type="button" name="delete" id="delete" onfiltered="performAction('delete', 'KH');">Delete</button>
   

  ie.button(:index,3).click , this works great if we know the index, but if someone just doesn't know the index, knows only the parameter which is ('delete', 'KH'), then what is the solution for it?
   
  Please send me the solution for this.
  Thanks in Advance
   
  With Regards
  Vikash Kumar

Sir,
   
  I am facing a problem in selecting multiple values from a list and passing it over to another list box with any button click, it should do it automatically.
   
  for example the list is as given below:
   
  <select id="assigned" name="assigned" size="8" multiple="multiple" class="addList" alloptions="availableGroups" alt="permissions">
      
       <option value="viewUserSecurity">viewUserSecurity</option>      
       <option value="viewUser">viewUser</option>      
       <option value="viewTransactionInbox">viewTransactionInbox</option>      
       <option value="viewTradeCancel">viewTradeCancel</option>
  </select>
   
   
  and the other list as :
   
  <select id="availableSystem" name="availableSystem" size="8" multiple="multiple">
      
  
</select>
   
   
  Please send me a solution for selecting multiple values from list "assigned" and passing it over to list "availableSystem", without any button click event.
   
  Thanks in advance.

Message-ID: <2757CAE9849293409BFE6562B949516219A4A7@rccexh001.relocationcentral.com>

What is the best way to create a log file, or otherwise manipulate Watir
test output?

I am looking a building a framework for testing, and it would be nice to
output test results to a webpage, flat file, or even to a dashboard
"results window".  I would want to include variables used (eg,
username/password for a login script, this seems straightforward), but
most importantly assertion results, test date and time, etc.

Thanks,
Adam

Hello, 

I have just installed Ruby and WATIR on a Windows XP box. 

When I try to run the unit tests, I get an error stating that
"gem_original_require" is missing. 

 

C:\watir\unittests>all_tests.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require' 
        from C:/watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4 

 

I'm not sure if it matters: when I installed WATIR from the .exe
package, I got errors about not being able to write to c:\watir until I
manually created the directory.  I manually created the c:\watir
directory and then installed to it.

Any ideas why I can't run the all_tests.rb script? 

Thank you,

Just in case this rings some bell.

I go to a page that has frames A and B. The latter in turn is a frameset
with 4 frames, say B1, ..., B4. The main area of the page is
B3 and I need to follow a link in B2 to change the main area. Problem is
B3, accessed as

   ie.frame('B').frame('B3')

has the same HTML before and after the link in B2 is clicked. This
website is quite convoluted, but since Watir asks for frames to IE each
time I invoke frame() I don't understand what may be happening.  
Any idea?

I have a problem with a site taking too long to load.  I'm hoping
somebody can point in the right direction. 
  The test environment in which my script runs takes a long time to load
images. The following statement waits for the page to be loaded:
   
  $ie.text_field(:name, "username").set(casino_user) 
   
  Is there a way that I can force this statement to start running
without waiting for the page to completely load?
  
class LoginCasino
  def initialize(casino_user, casino_password, casino_url,
casino_submit_key, cgc_submit_key) 
      $ie = Watir::IE.start(casino_url)
      if $ie.contains_text("Username:")
        $ie.goto($casino_url+"/security/logoff.do")
      end  
      $ie.text_field(:name, "username").set(casino_user)
      $ie.text_field(:name, "password").set(casino_password)
        if (($casino_url=~/wpt/) || ($casino_url=~/msn/) ||
($casino_url=~/vgfo/)) 
          $ie.button(:value, casino_submit_key).click
        elsif (($casino_url=~/cqa/) || ($casino_url=~/cdev/))
          $ie.button(:value, cgc_submit_key).click
        end

  end
    def logout (casino_url)

      $ie.goto($casino_url+"/security/logoff.do")

      $ie.link(:text, "Log Out").click

  end

You could do something like this:

 

  dbList = $ie.select_list( :name, 'assigned').getAllContents

      

  for dbl in dbList

    $ie.selectBox( :name, 'assigned').select("#{dbl}")

  end

 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Wtr-general] selecting multiple values from on list and

Sir,

 

I am facing a problem in selecting multiple values from a list and
passing it over to another list box with any button click, it should do
it automatically.

 

for example the list is as given below:

 

<select id="assigned" name="assigned" size="8" multiple="multiple"
class="addList" alloptions="availableGroups" alt="permissions">
      
       <option value="viewUserSecurity">viewUserSecurity</option>      
       <option value="viewUser">viewUser</option>      
       <option
value="viewTransactionInbox">viewTransactionInbox</option>      
       <option value="viewTradeCancel">viewTradeCancel</option>

</select>

 

 

and the other list as :

 

<select id="availableSystem" name="availableSystem" size="8"
multiple="multiple">
      


</select>

 

 

Please send me a solution for selecting multiple values from list
"assigned" and passing it over to list "availableSystem", without any
button click event.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Vikash Kumar

You will need to these:

require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'
require 'watir/testcase'

I usually add the setup.rb from the unittest directory instead because
these requires are already in it.

Your loop is 0-9 which is 10, your arrays are only 9 items long. You've
overshot it by one.

for x in 0..8 do

You can turn off image loading in the ie options dialog under advanced. I'm
not aware of any other way to set Watir not to wait for ready state from the
browser.

Adam,

  If you want to create a log file look at logger which is a Ruby library,
Watir makes use of it in WatirLogger. Otherwise if you're looking for a
junit type of test run dashboard and you're using Test::Unit, take a look at
Test Unit Reporter:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=319
It can dump out reports in either html or xml.

What is the best way to create a log file, or otherwise manipulate Watir
test output?

I am looking a building a framework for testing, and it would be nice to
output test results to a webpage, flat file, or even to a dashboard
"results window".  I would want to include variables used (eg,
username/password for a login script, this seems straightforward), but
most importantly assertion results, test date and time, etc.

I just reinstalled WATIR using the GEM file instead of the one-step
install.  Now it works.  Thank you.

I just remembered, one of the last times I installed ruby (either rc 3
or final I can't remember which) blew away ALL of my path information.
You might check to make sure ruby/bin and ruby/lib are in your path
environment variable.

I have always had to install rubygems for a new ruby install.

 

Get the gem here:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/

 

Download it somewhere.  Open a command prompt and navigate to where you
downloaded it.  Type gem install rubygems*.gem

 

This fix the same problem for me on a new install.

 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Wtr-general] Install problem?

 

Hello, 

I have just installed Ruby and WATIR on a Windows XP box. 

When I try to run the unit tests, I get an error stating that
"gem_original_require" is missing. 

 

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 to load -- watir (LoadError)

        from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require' 
        from C:/watir/unittests/../unittests/setup.rb:4 
        from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require' 
        from C:/watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4 

 

I'm not sure if it matters: when I installed WATIR from the .exe
package, I got errors about not being able to write to c:\watir until I
manually created the directory.  I manually created the c:\watir
directory and then installed to it.

Any ideas why I can't run the all_tests.rb script? 

Thank you, 

Ben Simo

Just in case this rings some bell.

I go to a page that has frames A and B. The latter in turn is a frameset
with 4 frames, say B1, ..., B4. The main area of the page is
B3 and I need to follow a link in B2 to change the main area. Problem is
B3, accessed as

   ie.frame('B').frame('B3')

has the same HTML before and after the link in B2 is clicked. This
website is quite convoluted, but since Watir asks for frames to IE each
time I invoke frame() I don't understand what may be happening.  
Any idea?

I have a problem with a site taking too long to load.  I'm hoping
somebody can point in the right direction. 
  The test environment in which my script runs takes a long time to load
images. The following statement waits for the page to be loaded:
   
  $ie.text_field(:name, "username").set(casino_user) 
   
  Is there a way that I can force this statement to start running
without waiting for the page to completely load?
  
class LoginCasino
  def initialize(casino_user, casino_password, casino_url,
casino_submit_key, cgc_submit_key) 
      $ie = Watir::IE.start(casino_url)
      if $ie.contains_text("Username:")
        $ie.goto($casino_url+"/security/logoff.do")
      end  
      $ie.text_field(:name, "username").set(casino_user)
      $ie.text_field(:name, "password").set(casino_password)
        if (($casino_url=~/wpt/) || ($casino_url=~/msn/) ||

    def logout (casino_url)

Message-ID: <2757CAE9849293409BFE6562B9495162198BA6@rccexh001.relocationcentral.com>

Michael,
	The only resource I was able to find online pointed me back to
the test_logger.rb script in watir/examples/logging.  This script
manually logs each action by doing a result/escape on each assertion to
output the result to a .txt file.  While this works, it's tedious and
inefficient for a large script.  I thought there would have to be a
better way, such as "grabbing" the SCIte output, since it contains
exactly what I would want.
	Someone has now suggested that I take a look at WET to accompany
Ruby.  Is this, or another method, an accepted "best practice" as far as
Watir scripting goes?

Thanks again,
Adam

You will need to these:

require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'
require 'watir/testcase'

I usually add the setup.rb from the unittest directory instead because
these requires are already in it.

Your loop is 0-9 which is 10, your arrays are only 9 items long. You've
overshot it by one.

for x in 0..8 do

You can turn off image loading in the ie options dialog under advanced.
I'm not aware of any other way to set Watir not to wait for ready state

Adam,

  If you want to create a log file look at logger which is a Ruby
library, Watir makes use of it in WatirLogger. Otherwise if you're
looking for a junit type of test run dashboard and you're using
Test::Unit, take a look at Test Unit Reporter:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=319
It can dump out reports in either html or xml.

What is the best way to create a log file, or otherwise manipulate Watir
test output?

I am looking a building a framework for testing, and it would be nice to
output test results to a webpage, flat file, or even to a dashboard
"results window".  I would want to include variables used (eg,
username/password for a login script, this seems straightforward), but
most importantly assertion results, test date and time, etc.

I just reinstalled WATIR using the GEM file instead of the one-step
install.  Now it works.  Thank you.

I just remembered, one of the last times I installed ruby (either rc 3
or final I can't remember which) blew away ALL of my path information.
You might check to make sure ruby/bin and ruby/lib are in your path
environment variable.

Mark,

 

Thanks, but that didn't seem to fix the problem.  I am having the same
problem on two different Windows XP PCs (one SP1, the other SP2).

I have always had to install rubygems for a new ruby install.

 

Get the gem here:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/

 

Download it somewhere.  Open a command prompt and navigate to where you
downloaded it.  Type gem install rubygems*.gem

 

This fix the same problem for me on a new install.

 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Wtr-general] Install problem?

 

Hello, 

I have just installed Ruby and WATIR on a Windows XP box. 

When I try to run the unit tests, I get an error stating that
"gem_original_require" is missing. 

 

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 to load -- watir (LoadError)

        from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require' 
        from C:/watir/unittests/../unittests/setup.rb:4 
        from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require' 
        from C:/watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4 

 

I'm not sure if it matters: when I installed WATIR from the .exe
package, I got errors about not being able to write to c:\watir until I
manually created the directory.  I manually created the c:\watir
directory and then installed to it.

Any ideas why I can't run the all_tests.rb script? 

Thank you, 

Ben Simo

Just in case this rings some bell.

I go to a page that has frames A and B. The latter in turn is a frameset
with 4 frames, say B1, ..., B4. The main area of the page is
B3 and I need to follow a link in B2 to change the main area. Problem is
B3, accessed as

   ie.frame('B').frame('B3')

has the same HTML before and after the link in B2 is clicked. This
website is quite convoluted, but since Watir asks for frames to IE each
time I invoke frame() I don't understand what may be happening.  
Any idea?

I have a problem with a site taking too long to load.  I'm hoping
somebody can point in the right direction. 
  The test environment in which my script runs takes a long time to load
images. The following statement waits for the page to be loaded:
   
  $ie.text_field(:name, "username").set(casino_user) 
   
  Is there a way that I can force this statement to start running
without waiting for the page to completely load?
  
class LoginCasino
  def initialize(casino_user, casino_password, casino_url,
casino_submit_key, cgc_submit_key) 
      $ie = Watir::IE.start(casino_url)
      if $ie.contains_text("Username:")
        $ie.goto($casino_url+"/security/logoff.do")
      end  
      $ie.text_field(:name, "username").set(casino_user)
      $ie.text_field(:name, "password").set(casino_password)
        if (($casino_url=~/wpt/) || ($casino_url=~/msn/) ||
($casino_url=~/vgfo/)) 
          $ie.button(:value, casino_submit_key).click
        elsif (($casino_url=~/cqa/) || ($casino_url=~/cdev/))
          $ie.button(:value, cgc_submit_key).click
        end
      
     #$ie.image(:src, submit_key).click()
  end
    def logout (casino_url)
    if (($casino_url=~/wpt/) || ($casino_url=~/msn/) ||
($casino_url=~/vgfo/))
      $ie.goto($casino_url+"/security/logoff.do")
    elsif (($casino_url=~/cqa/) || ($casino_url=~/cdev/))
      $ie.link(:text, "Log Out").click
    end
  end
  
  def shutdown
   $ie.close
   sleep 1

Ruby folks don't generally use for loops:


1.upto 9 do |x|
  puts x
  end

ruby loop.rb
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Ruby rocks!  My fav is:

  9.times {|x| puts x}

It doesn't get any clearer for me than just telling it how many times I want
it to loop without worrying about extra syntax that I'm likely to get
wrong.. ;)

Let's not forget the each_index method, then the size of the array no longer
matters:

pubInfoTextFields.each_index {|x|
  Simple1.fill_text_field(pubInfoTextFields[x], pubInfo[x])
  puts "pubInfoTextFields = "+pubInfoTextFields[x]+"   pubInfo =
"+pubInfo[x]
}

>The only resource I was able to find online pointed me back to
the test_logger.rb script in watir/examples/logging.  This script
manually logs each action by doing a result/escape on each assertion to
output the result to a .txt file.  While this works, it's tedious and
inefficient for a large script.  I thought there would have to be a
better way, such as "grabbing" the SCIte output, since it contains
exactly what I would want.

If all you want to do it to grab the output, the simple thing to do is to
pipe the output to a file:

myscript.rb > outputfile.txt

That's simplest; it may not be best.

>Someone has now suggested that I take a look at WET to accompany
Ruby.  Is this, or another method, an accepted "best practice" as far as
Watir scripting goes?

There are no best practices.  Who cares what other people claim is best?
What works for /you/?

Your tab is just a cell in a table.

ie.cell(:id, "tbJobstd0").click

HTML that you provided is not valid. Three tags have the same id. Ids should
be unique.

Can you ask your developer to change

<button id="delete" onfiltered="performAction('delete',
'KH');">Delete</button>

to

<button id="KH" onfiltered="performAction('delete', 'KH');">Delete</button>

In short, change id="delete" to id="KH".

Then you could access it like this

ie.button(:id, "KH").click

Subject: [Wtr-general] File Download dialog never gets attached/found
Message-ID: <c8a871c30607191706t12712d6el2abbdc4d77247348@mail.gmail.com>

I want to get Watir to load a page, press a "download file" button and
save the file.

This first part works fine - and the "File Download" dialog comes up
---------  PART 1 ----------------
require 'Watir'
include Watir

ie = IE.new
ie.goto("http://example.com")
ie.button(:value,"Login").click
ie.link(:id, "csv_link").click

-------------------------------------

If I run PART 1 from the command line, it never exits, it just keeps
running while the File Download dialog is up.

However, if I include the autoit code (below) in the same file, it
never clicks the file dialog.

If I kill it the running PART I script, and then run the following:

% ruby autoitFS.rb myfile

where the autoitFS.rb is code like this:
----- autoitFS.rb ---------------------
require 'win32ole'

autoit = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")
file = ARGV[0]

autoit.WinWait("File Download")
autoit.ControlClick("File Download", "Would you like to open the file
or save it to your computer?", "&Save")
autoit.WinWait("Save As", "Save &in", 3)
autoit.ControlSetText("Save As", "Save &in", "Edit1", "E\:\\Docs\\" +
file + ".csv")
autoit.ControlClick("Save As", "Save &in", "&Save")

--------------------------

It works...

To summarize: it works if I run the scripts separately - and I Ctrl-C
the first script when the dialog comes up.  It doesn't work if I
combine the scripts into one ruby file.

How can I get this to work from within one .rb file so I can loop over
a bunch of URLs?
Also, how can I get the first script to exit by itself?

I tried doing this from at the bottom of PART 1

system( "ruby autoitFS.rb myfile" )

but nothing happenend.

Thanks,
johnk

Hi all,

I want to verify if the text is correctly displayed depending on
different input scenarios. The web application however rounds values,
e.g. if the calculated result is 170500 then displayed should be
180000.

How can i do same in Ruby/Watir?

Thanks,

You could do something like this:
x = (y/10000 + 1) * 10000

Of course, if the exponent of the numbers changes, you might want to define
a function that can put more intelligence in there.

There are probably lots of ways to do that.  Here's one, if I
understand the question correctly:


list = ["foo","bar","baz"]

0.upto 2 do |x|
  puts "index " + x.to_s + " : " + list[x]
  end

>ruby bah.rb
index 0 : foo
index 1 : bar
index 2 : baz

I'm not sure I understand the question and the context.  Is there a decimal
point involved?  Are you trying to round up to some ceiling of thousands?  

Can you express your rounding rules in English or math?  If so, we can
probably help you to write some Ruby code to do it.  Otherwise, there are
lots of ways to interpret the single example you've given, and all but one
of those interpretations will be wrong.

Note that there are different kinds of rounding in different kinds of
contexts.

Ruby test/unit has an assert method "assert_in_delta" that looks like
it would do what you want.  The code for it is in
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\test\unit\assertions.rb and it's pretty easy to
read if you want to see exactly how it works.

Also, one of the coolest parts about Ruby is that much of Ruby is
actually written in Ruby-- so if assert_in_delta doesn't do *exactly*
what you want, it's pretty easy to write an assert_foo(() method that
does do exactly what you want.

Ken,

  You might want to follow the instructions for getting the latest
development gem installed:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#FAQ-devgem
And if you are working with an IE modal dialog, which you can verify from
the html source, it should have a function showModalDialog() for the popup.
Ugly stuff usually used only on internal apps, I've had to deal with a lot
of them. If it is an ie modal dialog then you can use this to get to it:
modal = ie.modal_dialog
There are some examples in modal_dialog_test.rb in the unittests directory.
The unittests really serve as great documentation for the project in
general.

cheers,
Charley

Hi!
I'm looking in the Watir documentation, and googled for it, but I can't find a
way to handle pop-ups generated with the javascript method "alert" and be able
to login to a site secured with basic authentication.

Wandering through the source code I've found the WinClicker class, but I don't
understand how to use it. 

How can I click on the alerts and/or login to a basic authenticated site?

Thanks in advance,

Sir,
   
  How to focus on "div" element & click on that element. I am using HTML having source:
  <div id="tCt1" dojoType="ContentPane" label="Billing" style="width: 760px;">
    <div class="permissionList">
    
     <label class="chk" for="assignedSystemGroups_2_1">
      <input type="checkbox" id="assignedSystemGroups_2_1" class="chk" name="assignedSystemGroups" value="viewStatsBilling" >
      View Billing Statistics
     </label>
   </div>
  
   <div id="tCt2" dojoType="ContentPane" label="Common" style="width: 760px;">
    <div class="permissionList">
    
     <label class="chk" for="assignedSystemGroups_3_1">
      <input type="checkbox" id="assignedSystemGroups_3_1" class="chk" name="assignedSystemGroups" value="baseWebAccess" >
      Login to Web Application
     </label>
  </div>
   
  I wanted to click on div having id="tCt2", the below code is not working:
  id.div(:id,"tCt2").click
   
  Please send me a solution for this.
   
  Thanks in advance

It seems like a spelling error to me, because this works for me (change
first "id" to "ie"):

ie.div(:id,"tCt2").click

Not sure what clicking on the div will do here. Does it translate into a
click on the inner checkbox?

Hello,

I've just downloaded Ruby and Watir.  I've looked at
WET's webpage.  

I have a table of parameters, which I'd like to use
sequentially as input to the same test, logging the
results as testing proceeds.   WET can support this
requirement, on the input side, from spreadsheets with
it's 'datatable' feature.  But my parameters are in a
MySql database table, and I'd like to update the
results there.  Since Ruby provides DBI access to
databases, I figure I would be better served if I just
coded it myself in Ruby.

However, I'm new to Ruby.  I've found Ruby, DBI and
WATIR documentation.  What I'd dearly like to see is
some sample code that executes a query from a table,
iterates the results, processing a WATIR test for each
row, and logs the results at each test completion.

Is there such a sample anyone can point me at?  Or,
barring that - any pointers on how best to approach
this?

In any case, once I get it working, I think it would
be a good sample to add to the Wiki - I'll try and add
it there - once I'm done.

Much thanks! 

Pauli

Most likely happening from the text_field command...  

If the control is disabled, you will not be able to modify the value for it.  This happens all the time in DHTML.  Does that text box only become available if more than one page exists?  Might want to look into that, maybe set up a condition block to test whether there are mutiple pages...

Hope it helps!

Jason,

Thanks much - that looks to be helpful.  I'm more
interested in how to iterate the WATIR test though.  

So far I haven't seen how to - in language that come
from my programming background, but may not be exactly
Ruby/WATIR appropriate - wrap a test inside a function
that I can call with parameters, that will return some
results set.

Once I have that, I can just plug it into the code
from the page you linked for me, and I'm away!

Pauli

I made some time to do some digging into the code (1.5.1.1054) and
discovered this in the IE::_find method
class IE
...
    def self._find(how, what)
      shell = WIN32OLE.new("Shell.Application")
      ieTemp = nil
      shell.Windows.each do |window|
      next unless (window.path =~ /Internet Explorer/ rescue false)

Seems that in this context !~ would be desired in that last line, so I
tried that in place of the =~ and it worked for me -- my attach code
seems to work again.
What do you think?

We have an application , which opens a browser  and then a java client.
The application is in java client  only.User has to navigate in the Java Client.
If the usr closes the browser , then java client is also closed. 
Can we able to test this type of application using the watir ?

Message-ID: <BAY101-DAV17BD6A93D9C1F9AC943B9AF3660@phx.gbl>

Hi folks,

Relatively new to using Ruby/Watir...  I have a quick question about the ie.goto statement, is there a way to set a timeout for this call so that if the webpage does not complete loading with X amount of seconds the call terminates?

The problem we're running into is that some of the pages we access occasionally NEVER finish loading. On the IE status bar (bottom left) we'll see a message that says "Opening Page XXXX" or " (1 Item Remaining) Opening Page XXXXX" and that message will persist forever (as far as we can tell)... So our scripts are hanging at the ie.goto call cause the page never loads completely.

Any tips you guys can give me?

Thanks,
Steve

I'm assuming you are talking about a java applet. Java applets, Flash
controls and the like are not supported by the current version of Watir.
Since Watir uses IE through com, embedded objects are visible but there's no
interface into their internals.

You could use AutoIt to disable image loading in ie. Take a look at
WindowHelper.rb(part of the watir distribution and uses AutoIt) as well as
the AutoIt site at: http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/

Hey Steve,

   Honestly that sounds like a defect. That being said, there is no simple
way that I currently know of to get around waiting for ie to return a ready
state.

Yup. I'm working on multithreaded tests and that seems
to happen (not a lot, but then it doesn't have to
happen a lot to mess things up). You can use Ruby's
timeout library to set a timeout value for an action
or series of actions and then rescue the timeout
exception when it occurs. something like the example
below should work. But someone else out there may have
a simpler way of dealing with it. 
----------------------------

require 'watir'
require 'timeout'
include Watir

ie = IE.new

def timeout
  begin
    timeout(120.0) do |timeout_length|		        
      ie.goto("www.yoursite.com")		        
    end
  rescue Timeout::Error => e
    puts e
    ie.close
  end
end

I have a similar problem - that program that does a ie.link().click
that brings up a File Save Dialog never resumes.

I've tried threads, and system calls to run the Autoit stuff, but the
only way I can automatically fill in the File Save Dialog is to run a
separate autoit ruby program from the command line.

Then after autoit fills in the dialog, and the file is saved, the
original ruby program that got to that point is hung, still on the
ie.link().click.  It never resumes once the dialog is gone.

It's really frustrating.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Proxy server login
Message-ID: <BB61A8AD91BFE54289947202E606C46C03D47D3E@co1msv020-exs.mhf1.mhf.mhc>

I am trying to use WATIR through a proxy server.  

The browser is configured to automatically detect proxy settings and to use a configuration script.

When manually browsing in IE, the browser displays a proxy login dialog when I attempt to access a site that is outside our network.  This proxy login dialog may show up when the browser is opened, or it may show up later.

When I start IE via WATIR, no proxy login dialog is displayed and IE displays the "Cannot find server" error page.

How can I get WATIR to start IE so that it will detect the need to login to the proxy server, and how do I get it to log into the proxy server?

Thank you,

Ben

Hi Vikash,
Maybe your code is working.  Maybe it just doesn't do what you think it
should do.

Are you trying to access the checkbox?  If so, why not just try something
more direct like:
   ie.checkbox(:id, /3_1/).flash
   ie.checkbox(:id, /3_1/).set

Take a look at watir/WindowHelper.rb, never used it but seems it does  
that.

Yes. The control (i.e., text field and button) will only enable when there
are more than one pages.

Most likely happening from the text_field command...  

If the control is disabled, you will not be able to modify the value for it.
This happens all the time in DHTML.  Does that text box only become
available if more than one page exists?  Might want to look into that, maybe
set up a condition block to test whether there are mutiple pages...

Hope it helps!

Message-ID: <2757CAE9849293409BFE6562B949516219A4AF@rccexh001.relocationcentral.com>

Howdy again.

I have written a script that successfully logs different aspects of a
very simple web test.  I have it set up to create a log directory
structure depending on the Project name, test being performed, and date
(all variables).  I would like to separate the general logging code so
that I can use it in other tests.  This is, however giving me some
trouble.

You can download the coded sample here:
http://www.makeharmony.com/watir.html

Essentially what I'd like to do is tear the Logger section out of that
script and call it logger.rb, make the variables global with $, and
placed require 'logger' in the test script.  This, however, doesn't work
so well.

What do I need to do?

Thanks,
Adam

PS - You'll notice some WET code in there as well -- I was never able to
get Watir JS pop-up handling solved, so I tried out the WET code
instead.

You could use AutoIt to disable image loading in ie. Take a look at
WindowHelper.rb(part of the watir distribution and uses AutoIt) as well
as the AutoIt site at: http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/

Hey Steve,

   Honestly that sounds like a defect. That being said, there is no
simple way that I currently know of to get around waiting for ie to
return a ready state.

<<The problem we're running into is that some of the pages we access

Yup. I'm working on multithreaded tests and that seems to happen (not a
lot, but then it doesn't have to happen a lot to mess things up). You
can use Ruby's timeout library to set a timeout value for an action or
series of actions and then rescue the timeout exception when it occurs.
something like the example below should work. But someone else out there
may have a simpler way of dealing with it. 
----------------------------

require 'watir'
require 'timeout'
include Watir

ie = IE.new

def timeout
  begin
    timeout(120.0) do |timeout_length|		        
      ie.goto("www.yoursite.com")		        
    end
  rescue Timeout::Error => e
    puts e
    ie.close
  end
end

I have a similar problem - that program that does a ie.link().click
that brings up a File Save Dialog never resumes.

I've tried threads, and system calls to run the Autoit stuff, but the
only way I can automatically fill in the File Save Dialog is to run a
separate autoit ruby program from the command line.

Then after autoit fills in the dialog, and the file is saved, the
original ruby program that got to that point is hung, still on the
ie.link().click.  It never resumes once the dialog is gone.

It's really frustrating.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I am trying to use WATIR through a proxy server.  

The browser is configured to automatically detect proxy settings and to
use a configuration script.

When manually browsing in IE, the browser displays a proxy login dialog
when I attempt to access a site that is outside our network.  This proxy
login dialog may show up when the browser is opened, or it may show up
later.

When I start IE via WATIR, no proxy login dialog is displayed and IE
displays the "Cannot find server" error page.

How can I get WATIR to start IE so that it will detect the need to login
to the proxy server, and how do I get it to log into the proxy server?

Thank you,

Ben

Ive never tried to test one, but Ive looked at similar things for inclusion in some projects Ive been working on.

They are normally just a text area, so:

ie.text_field(:index,1).set('Hello, world")

should probably do it

Thanks for digging in to the code and sharing what you found. It's hard for
me to understand where the logic error would be in this code, however. I
accept that you changed it and it worked, but the =~ operator will return a
number (= true) if there is a match, other wise nil (= false). Thus that
line should skip ahead to the next window unless it is an Internet Explorer
window. So it sounds right to me.

I should note however, that this is something that i recently changed and
something which i haven't figured out how to automate a unit test for yet. I
did do a lot of manual testing.... So i could accept that there is an error
in here pretty easily.

I actually added this line because i was doing IE.attach(:title, //) and
this was attaching to an outlook window, which cause me problems later on.
This line screened that out (or maybe that case was what prompted the rescue
false clause -- an idiom i've inveigled against before and yet one more
reason why this code needs automated tests.)

I'll have to make this code testable or at least put in some more
diagnostics so we can get to the bottom of things.

Chris,

    The error I was getting was an uninitialized constant at the line
where I call the function.  The logger.rb file runs with no errors, and
so does the test.rb prior to making include changes.  SciTe doesn't get
more specific than that unfortunately, so it's been hard to tell.  I
made sure that all variables used in both scripts are global. . .
That's where I decided to e-mail.

	The main changes I make are to:  remove the def logger section
from the script and place it in a new file, add def Class Logger above
the existing code.  Put it in a new file called logger.rb in the same
directory as the script.  Add require 'logger' to the script header.  Is
any of that wrong?  You can re-enact the process with the code I linked
in the last e-mail.

Thanks,
Adam

Aha!  I renamed the file and function to "rc_logger" instead of
"logger", and it works just fine.  Apparently logger is a reserved

I didn't fully understand the syntax -- but reading it closer I see what
you mean now.
I read it reversed -- do block unless window contains Internet Explorer
(thus skipping all the IE windows) but it was really next (or skip)
block unless window contains Internet Explorer (thus only acting on IE
windows).

I'm clueless as to why it worked when I flipped the logic (on non-modal
IE windows at least, couldn't get modals to work) and doesn't work at
all for me the other way!?  I think I'll do some more digging.  If you
have some specific diagnostic code you'd like me to try, please forward.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the suggestion.

We're using FreeTextBox in an Iframe, but when I try to access the field, I'm getting 

WIN32OLERuntimeError: focus
    OLE error code:800A083E in htmlfile
      Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.

I can read lots of attributes from the field (contents, name, id, etc), but it does not appear that I am able to *set* any value for it.

So now I'm multitasking - tossing it to the list while I go searching the world for the answer.  Wish me luck!

-Alan

these things tend to intercept all the keystrokes too, so perhaps its harder than I orignally thought

If you click in it and then from irb do
ie.show_active

you should see some of the details about it.

If I get some time later today, I'll give it a go

I've been developing an application just fine, and in some machines  
in production after some successful runs ie.goto launches MSIE but  
nothing happens, there's just a blank page. Sometimes there is no  
trace, and sometimes we get something like

c:/ruby/li
b/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb:1122:in `method_missing':  
unknown pr
operty or method: `visible' (WIN32OLERuntimeError)

ruby/gems/1.8/g
ems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb:1122:in `set_defaults'

whish says that the RPC server is not available. RPC is listed as a  
running service however.

Did anybody have this problem? It is a stopper for my current project  
which is about to be deployed to the client.

I have recently started having to regression test all our web
applications using IE7 beta3.  Most everything seems to work except
pop-ups (Confirms, Alerts, and Prompts).  This part of my scripts has
worked well using the latest IE6 version, but does not seem to work in
IE7.  Anyone else seeing this?  Or things like this?

 

Here is the method I am using:

  def startClicker( button , waitTime = 0.5)

    w = WinClicker.new

    longName = $ie.dir.gsub("/" , "\\" )

    shortName = w.getShortFileName(longName)

    c = "start rubyw #{shortName }\\watir\\clickJSDialog.rb #{button }
#{ waitTime} "

    puts "Starting #{c}"

    w.winsystem(c )   

    w=nil

 end

 

Thanks,

Well using ie.show_active has given me very interesting results.

What I had expected to be my text_field to be active was something totally different.

=> "HTML Document     name=          id=ctl0_MainBody_PolicyHtmlEditor_designEditor
src=about:blank     innerText=        \n"
irb(main):305:0>


Clicking on the various dropdown that let me choose the attributes of the font displays what I expected - a series of select-one's
Clicking on any of the font styling/formatting buttons (like Bold, Strikethru, centered, left-justified) also returns the HTML document type.

I'm going to play around with this a little more.  It is very interesting though.

these things tend to intercept all the keystrokes too, so perhaps its harder than I orignally thought

If you click in it and then from irb do
ie.show_active

you should see some of the details about it.

If I get some time later today, I'll give it a go

I got it!  Microsoft changed the name of the pop-up title bar from
'Microsoft Internet Explorer' to 'Windows Internet Explorer'.  This
should be changed in winClicker.rb or at least put in the FAQ.

MSIE does not close down instantaneously. Don't immediately
try to relaunch it.

I solved this with our scripts by introducing a 3 second delay
between closing MSIE and reopening it.

Another solution is to never close, or keep an IE window open
somewhere (so that browser closes aren't actually closing down
MSIE).

We needed to flush login sessions properly with a non-deal
app, so we just delayed.

Great, that's some light :-).

I need to understand well what that means. Which is the relationship  
between closing ie (either via the close method or by hand closing a  
window) and launching another crawling? By now, in development, we  
just launch one or two (but pointing to different sites anyway),  
observe what it does, and close windows by hand or leave them there  
after done. We are not paying attention to the way we close windows,  
what should we be careful with?

Now that we are on it, if there are several crawlers scrapping  
different sites, do they use the same object or each window  
represents a separate object?

I am starting the crawling with ie.goto and works fine in the machine  
I develop, should I use ie.start for the starting URL instead? If so,  
could that be causing what we are seeing?

> Another solution is to never close, or keep an IE window open

Yeah, I guess with the previous questions I'll understand better the  
implications of closing ie.

I don't understand this, you mean you programmed logouts?

Use "minimize" to minimize the IE window.

But then still the new window appears.
I want the same behaviour as if a watir-script is started with "-b".

Hello

 

I'm wishing to check that when an application is launched more than once
in a browser, only the first browser instance can login and the second
is returned a suitable error page.

 

So far I've added this code to a module, to deal with this:

 

            def otherinstance(testname, testpass, testldap)

                        threads = []

                        2.times do threads << Thread.new
{login(testname, testpass, testldap)}

               begin

 
assert(ie.frame("main").contains_text("app_name") )

                                    logger.log("Passed. Found test
string 'app_name' ")

                                    logger.log_results("otherinstance",
"app_name", "app_name", "TEST PASSED.")

               rescue => e

                                    logger.log("*FAILED*." + e.message +
"\n" + e.backtrace.join("\n"))

                                    logger.log_results("otherinstance",
"app_name", "app_name", "TEST FAILED.")   

               end

 

currently, I'm just trying this out, so the code is very similar to the
Watir examples.

 

My question is how I identify the browser instance? Do I iinitialise an
empty count in the otherinstance method and then increment if for each
instance created in the block.

 

(Incidentally - the number 2 is not fixed; once I've got this code up
and running it will be good for x instances of the browser.

 

Thanks

Max

I had the same question.
 
Control Synchronized Data Driven Testing (CSDDT) framework by Adrian
Rutter
 
Chapter 8 in the book that Adrian linked is summarized on
www.stickyminds.com as:
". . .the authors explain how to implement a project within the CSDDT
framework. The chapter includes a troubleshooting section, which details
common problems encountered with this approach, and the solutions. This
chapter includes a great deal of specific Rational Robot SQABasic code
examples, including an entire example CSDDT framework."

Control Synchronized Data-Driven Testing written by Bruce Posey and

make it more at the atomic level.

Bruce wrote it, I amended it.

The document I wrote on it is here
http://www.scionlabs.com/using_rational_robot.zip

The framework is simple and portable (agile? I think). Spoke to Bruce and
he is very interested in Watir.

I am CC'ing him on this e-mail.

This is true. However, i think there is a workaround for this.

Using 1.5.

ie.button(:html, /'delete', 'KH')/).click

I knew there must be a way to click that button, I just did not know how.
Watir is getting better and better. :)

You made a typo, it should be

ie.button(:html, /'delete', 'KH'/).click

I cannot see for the life of me how SYSTIR could help to test legacy win32.
The only thing I could think of is embed C in Ruby, to integrate with an
application's process.

With Java we could use JRuby to utilise the Robot class

Hi, folks...

In Chris McMahon's presentation at Agile 2006 today, we found this site:

http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2006/04/23/tweaking-irb

This outlines some wonderful things about how to hack your IRB configuration
file to do some totally awesome things, including 

- IRB command-line completion
- IRB command-line recall
- logging the commands that you've issued in an IRB session
- recalling (via up-arrow) the commands that you've issued in previous IRB
sessions (what was I doing yesterday?  {up}{up}{up}{up}{up} -- oh, right
that was it.)

Hope this helps.  Ruby rules!

What a great trick. Thanks a lot for sharing.

I had to make a small adjustment though. On my system (win xp), I had to set
a system variable "HOME" and point it to a dir where I put the .irbrc file.

Read  more about that here: "<a href="
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/77139">irb
completion under windows</a>" (ruby-talk)

Unfortunately, Nicks blog post was not open for comments (or something else
went wrong so I couldn't comment).

Hey, and as an aside, XP pro systems have ENV['HOMEPATH'], so you'd change

LOG = "#{ENV['HOME']}/.irb-history"
to
LOG = "#{ENV['HOMEPATH']}\\.irb-history"

Worked like a charm for me.

And, thanks to all for these great pointers.  Very helpful.

Message-ID: <44C81891.7060905@pheedo.com>

Hi all,
I'm very new to Watir/Ruby stuff:-(  I'm using Simple module to open up 
a browser and load a url using new_browser_at(url) and am also using 
fill_text_field() and click_button_with_value() to fill all the text 
fields and button click on the page.

Now there is a checkbox on the page that i need to click also and i 
don't see any functions that will do under Simple module??  How would I 
go by to click on the checkbox????

Thanks in advance!!

What is a "ruby attach dialog"?

I'd be surprised if vmWare itself is the source of your problem. I'm pretty
sure we have people here who have used it with Watir successfully. True?

Howdy,

I am not sure this addresses your question but we deal with check boxes in
two ways.

We use cells and indices when the checkbox is in a table cell.

@ie.cell(:id, 'something').checkbox(:index,1).set

@ie.checkBox(:id, "something").click

Good luck,

Carl

This is what watir simple can do:
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Watir/Simple.html
I did not find anything about checkboxes. I guess it is time for you to
start using the real watir. You will see it is not that difficult. Just
follow user guide: http://www.openqa.org/watir/watir_user_guide.html

I have used VMware with Watir successfully.  I've got a WinXP Pro SP2 VMware
session that has IE7 Beta 2.  On it, I have Ruby 1.8.4 and Watir 1.4.1.

I just ran the UnitTest "filefield_test.rb" and it executed without error.

I can't say I really understand what the problem described below is, so I
can't offer any suggestions right now.

Paul.

Hi,

I am using Bret's AppMap concept

 def goto_territory_list
   ObjectMap.new.instance_eval  do
       sales_admin_link.click
       territories_link.click
    end
  end

but I am having a hell of a trouble trying to fit it into the below switch
statement. Could anyone help?

  def enter_employees()
  File.open('C:\auto_tests\test_data\employee_data.csv','r') {|f| #use block
so file is automatically closed

    f.each_line { |line|
    next if /^;/ =~ line #check for ';' at start of line
      i = 0
      line.chomp.split(',').each{|x|
      i += 1
      next if x.nil? or x == "null" #skip nil or "null" values
      case i
      when 1 #country
        employee_country_id.select(x)
      when 2 #depot
        employee_depot_id.select(x)
      when 3 #first_name
        employee_first_name.set(x)
      end
      puts "#{x} has been input"
      }
      click_submit
      click_new_employee_link
    }
  }
  end
end

I was referring to the DOS/ruby.exe window that opens and scrolls through
all the window captions until it finds the File Open dialog.

I had my sysadmin upgrade the VMWare server to the latest version, and
updated my client as well, and this solved the problem.

VMWare looks to be a useful tool where I work for allowing the developers to
run acceptance tests without spending the time to configure their dev
systems and keep the tests up-to-date locally.

So it is.  You realize you have a frame or iframe there, right?
That's the "HTML Document" bit.

There was great interest in Watir automation frameworks among the
attendees at the Scripting Web Tests (with Watir and Ruby) class at
Agile2006.  There is I think no good example of a data-driven test
framework to point people to, so this would be in general a fine idea.
 I would like to suggest

a) make it open-source.  Otherwise it's too hard to answer questions about it.
b) write in in Ruby, because that's what the people using the
framework will be using.
c) please make an effort to answer ongoing questions about your work,
either on this list or on a list devoted to the framework itself.

Thanks.

At least the first one should work (with the typo corrected, that  
is). Does ie.show_links output that one?

Yes, i do see the link when i do a ie.show_links() but i'm afraid that 
why it might not work...

show_links shows the link as similar to the below...

*/http://{static-text}/blah...blah....http://{static-text}/blah..blah.../*

So the same text is showing twice in the show_links printout, that might 
be why it's not working????

It would be easier if you posted your html so we could try to click that
link at our machine instead of guessing.

Will all be in Ruby; the good thing about Ruby (unlike Java) is that it can

Not a problem. I'll use this list. And it will be iterative development: I
would imagine the software will change dramatically with collaborative
input. Will start next week.

The CSDDT is open-source, I made amendmentts to it under the name of Adrian
Rutter. It is writen in BASIC. I am going to convert that code to Ruby.

Message-ID: <A680C76411637B42B98CE164A36573185A28E5@sbssvr.inpses.co.uk>

Hi-

 

I've checked through the Rubyforge mail history but haven't found a
solution so far.

 

I'm trying to mimic the scripting101 labs examples, testing against a
web app-

 

I have 2 files:

 

harness.rb

 

# Simple test harness

 

require 'watir'

require 'test/unit'

 

$LOAD_PATH << '.'

 

class TestSuite < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def centralvision

    load 'centralvision.rb'

  end

  def teardown

    ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /Central Vision/)

    ie.close

  end

end

 

 

and the test I'm calling:

 

 

# Simple script tests the fields of the Central Vision login page.

 

 

require 'watir'

require 'test/unit/assertions'

include Test::Unit::Assertions

 

# launch

ie = Watir::IE.start('http://everestcf/CV_Tay_Test/home/Index.cfm')

 

# verify the username text entry field

#exists

assert( ie.frame("main").text_field.exists?(:name, "username" ))

#is blank

assert( ie.frame("main").text_field. == "" ))

 

# verify the password text entry field

#exists

assert( ie.frame("main").text_field.exists?(:name, "password" ))

#is blank

assert( ie.frame("main").text_field. == "" ))

 

# verify the ldap drop down chooser field

#exists

assert( ie.frame("main").select_list.exists?(:name, "ldapDir"))

 

 

I modified the $LOAD_PATH variable to say this directory only (although
I don't know if that was necessary.)

 

 

 

Basically every time I run the harness I get the following:

 

>ruby harness.rb

 

Loaded suite harness

Started

FE

Finished in 0.063 seconds.

 

  1) Failure:

default_test(TestSuite) [harness.rb:12]:

No tests were specified.

 

  2) Error:

default_test(TestSuite):

Watir::Exception::NoMatchingWindowFoundException: Unable to locate a
window with

 title of (?-mix:Central Vision)

    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1208:in
`attach_browser_window'

    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1111:in `attach_init'

    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1104:in `attach'

    harness.rb:13:in `teardown'

 

1 tests, 1 assertions, 1 failures, 1 errors

 

 

I'm really getting confused with this now, I've tried to keep my code as
simple as possible, but can't see where I'm going wrong?

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

thanks

Test::Unit::TestCase must have at least one method which name starts with
"test_".

Change

def centralvision
    load 'centralvision.rb'
end

to

def test_centralvision
    load 'centralvision.rb'
end

and you should be fine.

You don't actually need to use multiple threads for your scenario. But you
do need manage separate Watir::IE objects, which means you need to modify
your login method. If you show it, we can show you how to modify it make it
work for this scenario.

John,

Thanks for the update. I agree that vmware (and virtual server, which is
what my company now uses) are great tools for testing.

I've got a line open with the author of FTB to see why this is.  When you include the free version of FTB, all you get is a DLL to link into your project.  I'm hoping that the author will be able to give me a little more insight into the pieces that are being displayed. 

I do know about the frame (there are actually two of them), but I'm unsure on why they are there, or how/if I should be able to actually set text on the fields.

For now I have a clumsy workaround - sleep for 15 seconds while I paste the text into the field.  Its frustrating that I could not do 

ie.text_area(:id,"ctl0_MainBody_PolicyHtmlEditor").set("hi")

on the object.  Grrr.  

Sometimes you win, sometimes you have to find the way around. LOL.

So it is.  You realize you have a frame or iframe there, right?
That's the "HTML Document" bit.

Thanks for the heads up that you are using two different names on this list.
I thought you were two different people.

People interested in CSDDT may want to take a look at Just Enough Software
Test Automation, which contains a 50-page chapter on the framework.

Subject: [Wtr-general] need a frame-recursive wait
Message-ID: <E902B8FB-935B-4961-B394-D85FF4B0B16F@hashref.com>

A crawler that always works flawlessly in development regularly  
raises UnknownObjectException other computers. The same navigation  
done by hand via irb on those machines works.

The website we are crawling has some frames, and the main frame  
contains yet another frameset so we have two levels. While reading  
watir.rb I noticed Watir::IE#wait does consider frames, but just one  
level of them. So my working assumption is that some inner frame is  
not completely loaded when the bot tries to access some element  
there. The PCs where it runs OK are slower than the PCs where it  
crashes. I don't know how that fits in the explanation (if it does),  
but it is a pattern.

I'm gonna patch the method tomorrow to write some stack-based  
recursion. But before I do that I'd like to ask whether someone else  
already fixed this, or else if there is any technical reason that  
prevents that method from being recursive-like.

I have a kind of similar problem.  Here's what I'm doing.

The "i_really_mean_it" method clicks the "OK" button on a new screen.

def send_the_dang_mail
        begin
   @ie.frame("viewtable").link(:text,"Send").click
   i_really_mean_it
   rescue
   sleep 1
   send_the_dang_mail
   #puts "looking for viewtable"
 end

Of course, the moment that the UI in the app changes, this becomes an
endless loop,so it's on the fragile side.

The original CSDDT and code and my changes with a full explanatory
word-document should be on the Rational Users site.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RationalUsers/

I spoke to Bruce Posey about a week ago, and he was happy with me
converting it to Ruby. However, I think I have much better ideas to improve
the CSDDT. The CSDDT was half-there. Bruce would probably agree.

Have you compared the Posey data driven framework with the Nagle data driven
framework? (http://safsdev.sourceforge.net)

Has anyone? I would like to know how they compare.

Another newbie question - if you were developing a

installation on Linux hosting, and wanted a Ruby /

Komodo, RadRails or another product.  Why?

Thanks a bunch for your helpful responses.

[this has gotta be quick cos gotta go]

The CSDDT is tied to the test-tool, it is simple and fast; but you need to
write your own functions. Excel sheets get exported to txt files and read
by the tool. You make up your own keywords.

SAFS is tool and 'application' independent,though certainly with for
example Robot it can be too slow because of lengthy switch statements. With
minor changes you could use the same sheets for Winrunner, RFT, Robot,
Abbot etc. Carl has two sheets one for the business analysts\test designers
(high level), and low level sheets for test automators. You can use SAFS
out of the box - the keywords are there
(http://safsdev.sourceforge.net/sqabasic2000/RRAFSReference.htm). I have
taught a graduate in a morning how to construct automated tests without
knowledge of the tool or programming. But it must be a collaborative effort
to really work. Carl mentioned last week that the TID driver with RFT was
much faster than using the Robot driver. SAFS uses an IBM STAF service that
can alllow data exchange between processes, so you can use more than one
tool at the same time.

The situation however is that test-tools will soon be open-source, so we
will not be at the mercy of vendors as the SAFS team have been for over a
decade.

I don't think this is your problem, but you might want to use this to
simplify your code:

I just posted this to my blog. I'd been getting several emails from people
who were wondering whether the project had been abandoned.

http://www.io.com/~wazmo/blog/archives/2006_07.html#000240

Watir 1.5 is Under Active Development

Many observers have wondered whether Watir is still being
developed. If you look at our Rubyforge site, you'll see that our
"last release":http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104&release_id=2725
was August 2005 and our "last code
changes":http://wtr.rubyforge.org/statcvs/commit_log.htm) were made in
February of this year. But actually, Watir is under active
development. We've moved our source repository and many of the other
project resources over to our "new home at
OpenQA.org":http://openqa.org/watir/. Things are spread out right now,
and it's somewhat confusing. Here is a map for where to find the most
current information about our project.

*Home Pages.* Our "home page at Rubyforge":http://wtr.rubyforge.org is still
the best place for new users to start. It describes the latest fully
supported,
fully documented version of Watir (namely 1.4.1). Our "home page at
OpenQA":http://www.openqa.org/watir links to the project resources
at our new home. And our "wiki home page":
http://wiki.openqa.org/projects/wtr
is the best place to find the most recent information about the project.

*Releases.* We are providing regular "development
releases":http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds (Ruby
gems) of the work in progress for Watir 1.5 at OpenQA. When 1.5
becomes ready for official release, it will be released at our
"existing Rubyforge location":http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtr/, and
therefore available automatically when you "gem install watir".

*Mailing List & Support.* We continue to use the
"wtr-general":http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
mailing list at Rubyforge as our primary discussion list. This is the
best place to ask your questions about Watir. You'll have to subscribe
before you can post. The
"archives":http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general contain
answers to many common questions. OpenQA provides a "web-based
forum":http://forums.openqa.org/forum.jspa?forumID=5&start=15, but
this isn't monitored by as many people.

*Wiki & FAQ.* We have moved our
"wiki":http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home over to
OpenQA. This includes our
"FAQ":http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ, which is frequently
updated.

*Buglist.* We are now using "Jira":http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR
to track bugs and features at OpenQA. The "old trackers":
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=104 at Rubyforge
will be closed down soon.

*Source Repository.* We now use the "Subversion repository at
OpenQA":http://openqa.org/watir/cvs.action. The "CVS repository at
Rubyforge":http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=104 is no longer being
used.

You don't need winclicker or autoit. Just use plain watir.

    ie = Watir::IE.start('
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/popup/showme4.html')

    ie.document.body.fireevent('oncontextmenu')
    ie.span(:text, 'MSDN Web Workshop').click

It's all a matter of knowing the events and html to reference. I used Spy
Smith (and reading source) to figure this out.

Note that the second command really doesn't use Watir, but instead codes
directly to the DOM. This is because we need to send the event to the body
object, which Watir normally allows you to ignore.

"last release":HYPERLINK "http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104&release_id=2725" http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104&release_id=2725
was August 2005 and our "last code
changes":HYPERLINK "http://wtr.rubyforge.org/statcvs/commit_log.htm"http://wtr.rubyforge.org/statcvs/commit_log.htm ) were made in
February of this year. But actually, Watir is under active
development. We've moved our source repository and many of the other
project resources over to our "new home at
OpenQA.org": HYPERLINK "http://openqa.org/watir/"http://openqa.org/watir/. Things are spread out right now,
and it's somewhat confusing. Here is a map for where to find the most
current information about our project.

*Home Pages.* Our "home page at Rubyforge": HYPERLINK "http://wtr.rubyforge.org"http://wtr.rubyforge.org is still
the best place for new users to start. It describes the latest fully supported,
fully documented version of Watir (namely 1.4.1). Our "home page at 
OpenQA":HYPERLINK "http://www.openqa.org/watir"http://www.openqa.org/watir links to the project resources
at our new home. And our "wiki home page":HYPERLINK "http://wiki.openqa.org/projects/wtr"http://wiki.openqa.org/projects/wtr 
is the best place to find the most recent information about the project.

*Releases.* We are providing regular "development
releases":HYPERLINK "http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds" http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds (Ruby
gems) of the work in progress for Watir 1.5 at OpenQA. When 1.5
becomes ready for official release, it will be released at our
"existing Rubyforge location": HYPERLINK "http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtr/"http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtr/, and
therefore available automatically when you "gem install watir".

*Mailing List & Support.* We continue to use the 
"wtr-general":HYPERLINK "http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general"http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
mailing list at Rubyforge as our primary discussion list. This is the
best place to ask your questions about Watir. You'll have to subscribe 
before you can post. The
"archives":HYPERLINK "http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general"http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general contain
answers to many common questions. OpenQA provides a "web-based 
forum":HYPERLINK "http://forums.openqa.org/forum.jspa?forumID=5&start=15"http://forums.openqa.org/forum.jspa?forumID=5&start=15, but
this isn't monitored by as many people.

*Wiki & FAQ.* We have moved our 
"wiki":HYPERLINK "http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home"http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home over to
OpenQA. This includes our
"FAQ":HYPERLINK "http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ" http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ, which is frequently
updated.

*Buglist.* We are now using "Jira":HYPERLINK "http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR"http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR
to track bugs and features at OpenQA. The "old trackers": HYPERLINK "http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=104"http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=104 at Rubyforge
will be closed down soon.

*Source Repository.* We now use the "Subversion repository at
OpenQA": HYPERLINK "http://openqa.org/watir/cvs.action"http://openqa.org/watir/cvs.action. The "CVS repository at
Rubyforge":HYPERLINK "http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=104"http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=104 is no longer being
used.

Subject: [Wtr-general] simple solution for basic authentication
Message-ID: <mJTjxkyj.1154122464.8549770.dfaught@pendrell.textdrive.com>

Howdy folks.  I find myself on a project where I want to use a
browser-based test tool to record client-side performance metrics. 
After playing with several such tools again, Watir again emerged as the
tool that I was first able to get a working script with.

But along the way, I noticed with some amazement that Perl's
Win32::IE::Mechanize module was able to handle the basic HTTP
authentication that gives so many people headaches with other tools.  It
doesn't do it by automating the dialog asking for the login
information, but rather it prevents the dialog from appearing by
submitting the credentials right from the beginning.  That means it
makes one fewer transaction with the web server (avoiding the first
request that gets a 401 response), but perhaps I can live with that.

Has anyone else tried to implement this with Watir?  If not I may try it
myself.  Here's the core of it in IE::Mechanize where it formulates the
Authorization header, really simple stuff:

sub __authorization_basic {
    my( $user, $pass ) = @_;
    defined $user && defined $pass or return;

    require MIME::Base64;
    return "Authorization: Basic " .
           MIME::Base64::encode_base64( "$user:$pass" ) .
           "\015\012";
}

I think I saw some chatter on this a couple months back -- check the

I tried and failed, but I thought my problem was in the way IE handled
the data.  I'd love to be proven wrong:

I suggest either

1. We push up the limit on attachment sizes (100K? Larger?); or

2. Encourage people to put large attachments on a wiki page (to be
designated) and then include a link in their mail.

Please vote on these suggestions or make your own. We really need to see
people's HTML if we are going to help them. ie.show_links and friends were
not really designed to replacements. (In fact, between the IE Dev Tool bar
and SpySmith, i never use any of the show_methods any more anyhow.)

Great, here it is.

I factored wait() out into wait_for_ie() and wait_for_document(). The  
patch is against 1.4.1, which is the one we are using.

In addition to the stack-based recursion through frames I planned to  
add, I removed an unusued @pageHasReloaded flag, and added a do/while  
loop in wait_for_ie() because another reason why the program was  
crashing was that after the usual while busy + until readyState ==  
complete the @ie object was again in a busy state! Argh! I have seen  
the do/while in wait_for_ie() sometimes executes more than once in  
that website with frames, for sure.

That do/while loop is not a correct solution to the re-busy state. In  
principle it could happen that whatever puts @ie back in busy state  
may need a bit more to be triggered than those 0.02 seconds of sleep.  
But at least my program runs like a charm in my trials, and approach  
that problem properly I'd need to know more about those IE states  
than what I've found in the docs. In particular it's relationship  
with frames, DOM scripting, Ajax calls... Smells like an asynchronous  
thing to hook into if there's API for that. I am sure there's room  
for improvement there.

Komodo is far too slow and I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. There is a
Elcipse Ruby plug-in, but only supports upto Ruby 1.8.2. for de-bugging.

I just use Scite (bundled txt editor) which integrates well with the
interpreter, and irb. They *may* be a project explorer somewhere that you
could add to Scite

No nothing about Rails, but I am on the London RailsConf in September

I think it is fair to say this contribution was paid by ASPgems, we  
have a few projects based on Watir and are very grateful to you guys  
for maintaining it.

html snippet that is relevant to the problem. Something like this:

supports only 1.8.2. and the beta for 1.8.4 ([for me] kept crashing). Would
like peoples experience on Rad Rails though.

Did you sent crash reports? Every time I send one, Lothar (developer)
quickly fixes it.

I have ruby 1.8.4 and official version of Arachno works at my windows
machine (http://ruby-ide.com/ruby/ruby_ide_and_ruby_editor.php). There is
even a Linux version (beta) http://ruby-ide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=589.

But there is no de-bugging with this version and 1.8.4. Am I correct in
saying that?

I do not use debugger a lot, but I just tried it and it works. If you have
any problems, contact Lothar or post a question at Arachno forum. What
happens when you start debugger? Nothing?

Try "new and improved" Arachno, it will work. And, if it does not, just
submit crash report and it will be fixed soon.

We have been using RadRails almost since it has been available. It is based 
on the time-tested Eclipse IDE from IBM. (Get it? This was started when Java 
became big. Eclipse as opposed to "Sun"). So RadRails has a solid 
foundation, but it is still dependent on its developers to make sure it 
works properly for Ruby / Rails.

The first release or two of RadRails were missing so much in functionality 
that they were pretty much unusable. But it has come so far since then that 
I have to wonder why anyone would use anything else, unless it were for 
performance reasons (Eclipse can be something of a hog).

It supports just about all functions of SVN, allowing you to track your 
source visibly and seamlessly. (It must be noted, however, that the release 
we are currently using, 0.6.4, has a bug in its SVN support: it does not 
create tags properly. But you can still do that manually, so no big deal.)

Despite a couple of very minor bugs, RadRails is by far the most 
fully-functional IDE for Ruby / Rails that I have seen. Eclipse has so many 
features that it would be pointless to even try to list them here, and most 
if not all of those features carry over to RadRails.

Hey Chintakrinidi,

   1.5.1 is currently a development version, you can download a gem from
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds or follow the link on
that page to the FAQ to build your own from the latest in source control:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#FAQ-devgem

Hi-

 

I tried changing the code as suggested:

 

<quote>

Test::Unit::TestCase must have at least one method which name starts
with "test_".

 

Change

 

def centralvision

    load 'centralvision.rb'

end

 

to

 

def test_centralvision

    load 'centralvision.rb'

end

 

and you should be fine.

 

</quote>

 

However, I now get this output-

 

 

>ruby harness.rb

 

Loaded suite TestSuite

Started

./test_centralvision.rb:17: warning: parenthesize argument(s) for future
version

 

EE

Finished in 0.078 seconds.

 

  1) Error:

test_centralvision(TestSuite):

SyntaxError: ./test_centralvision.rb:17: syntax error

    harness.rb:10:in `load'

    harness.rb:10:in `test_centralvision'

 

  2) Error:

test_centralvision(TestSuite):

    harness.rb:14:in `teardown'

 

1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 2 errors

 

 

I really don't see why it should be getting a Syntax Error? I still have
the same simple test loading up but have changed the def as suggested.

 

thanks

Subject: [Wtr-general] Firing Onclick Event
Message-ID: <44CE39FE.6010407@webmetrics.com>

I'm writing some tests for our website and our website has javascript 
menus. I can find the proper element in the DOM just fine and when I go 
to fire the onclick event, it looks like it is clicking the right object 
but nothing happens.

Here's a snippet of code of the div I'm trying to click

<DIV id=menuItem1 onmouseover=onMenuItemOver(null,this); 
style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; LEFT: 0px; VISIBILITY: inherit; WIDTH: 74px; 
CURSOR: hand; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: 
absolute; TOP: 18px; HEIGHT: 17px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #cccccc; fontSize: 
11px" onclick=onMenuItemAction(null,this); saveColor="#666666" 
menuHiliteBgColor="#CCCCCC" mmaction="window.open('globalwatch.html', 
'_self');" zIndex="1">
<DIV id=menuItemText1 style="LEFT: 4px; COLOR: #ffffff; POSITION: 
absolute; TOP: 2px">
<DIV id=menuItemShim1 style="LEFT: 0px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px">
<DIV align=left>Our&nbsp;Network</DIV></DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV id=menuItemHilite1 style="LEFT: 4px; VISIBILITY: inherit; COLOR: 
#000000; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 2px">
<DIV id=menuItemShim1 style="LEFT: 0px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px">
<DIV align=left>Our&nbsp;Network</DIV></DIV>&nbsp;</DIV></DIV>

Here's the javascript for the "onMenuItemAction" function of the onclick 
event.

function onMenuItemAction(e, l) {
	l = window.ActiveMenuItem;
	if (!l) return;
	hideActiveMenus();
	if (l.mmaction) eval("" + l.mmaction);
	window.ActiveMenuItem = 0;
}


In this example, I want to click on the div with menuItem1 which has an 
onclick event which I can fire by calling

    ie.div(:id, 'menuItem1').fire_event('onclick')

When i do this in irb or in a watir script, it shows the clicking of the 
item on the page but nothing happens and I assume this is because the 
onclick event calls a javascript function "onMenuItemAction" which 
evaluates the value of the property "mmaction". Does anyone know why 
this is the case and does anyone know of a solution? Thanks In Advance.

P.S. The code is ugly but I can't do anything to change it.

I'd recommend you uninstall your previous version if you've used the one
click installer for Watir 1.4.1. Gems get installed into your ruby gems
directory - ruby_install_directory\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems. Read through the
FAQ, should help explain some basics.

Meghanath,
 
    You will most likely have some trouble if you do not uninstall 1.4
first.  To check, run this command from a DOS prompt:
        ruby -e 'require "watir"; puts Watir::IE::VERSION
  If it still shows 1.4, use 'gem uninstall watir' and choose the 1.4
version at the prompt
Thanks,
Adam

You can use the cell text contents to find the cell to click:

table = ie.table(:index, 1)            # Find the tab table using some 
method
tab_cell = table.cell(:text, 'Parties')
tab_cell.click

If you know that this cell is the ONLY one with that text then you can 
just look for it anywhere on the page with:

ie.cell(:text, 'Parties').click

You can also regular expressions in the search:

ie.cell(:text, /Par/).click

> I tried and failed, but I thought my problem was in the way IE handled
the data.  I'd love to be proven wrong:

It works for me, hacking watir.rb with hardcoded credentials like so -

	def goto( url )
		user = "username"
		pass = "password"
		auth = "Authorization: Basic " +
			Base64.encode64(user + ":" + pass) + "\015\012"
		@ie.navigate(url, nil, nil, nil, auth)
		wait()
		sleep 0.2
  		return @down_load_time
	end

I added a "require 'base64'" near the top.

This is working for a site that's a huge mess of nested frames plus a
swarm of small js, image, and css files, etc.  I noticed that you
hardcoded the base64 encoding of the credentials.  Did you try to do it
by doing the encoding on the fly?

To productize it, I'd recommending adding a credentials method like
Win32::IE::Mechanize uses.

Didn't try that, I didn't think it would have an effect.  I'll go back
and try again.  And this works on all your frames and links?  My
experience was that the outer page was OK, but the credentials didn't
allow access to other aspects of the page, like frames and links.

OK, that may be a feature of the 1.5 development thread, which I'm 
running here.  Did you try it with the quoted version?

ie.cell(:text, 'Parties').click


I've found the 1.5 versions to be very stable and worth running, BTW.

Hi
 
I unstalled the version 1.4.1 using the gem command and after that installed 1.5 version
But when I used the command  ruby -e 'require "watir"; puts Watir::IE::VERSION
its showing as 1.4.1. I repeated the same twice but still its showing the 1.4 version
 
 

Thanks

Chris,

Could you or someone else verify whether Danny's suggestion avoids the
problems you mention?

If it works, i would very much like to add this to Watir.

I don't understand the $realm argument in this API. Can you explain? Could
we drop it?

"realm" is the value of the message presented to the user on the
popup.  The value is widely disregarded as an actual means of
authorization, but it's still part of the spec.

I see your point, although sometimes people send us the wrong snippet. Esp.
when it comes to  javascript. (They often send the functions when we need to
see the html they are attached to).

But i guess they really need to learn how to figure out where the html is
themselves if they are going to be successful with watir.

I am getting exactly the same behavior using this approach as I did
hacking the raw string: my browser is authorized only for the outer
page.

In my app, frames and links inside the outer page are also protected
by basic auth.  That is, each of the internal frames and links send
back a 401 error to the browser upon first attempting to access them.

IE by itself is smart enough to the do the right thing and acknowledge
every single 401 it receives from the page, but Watir doesn't work
that way-- you only get one goto() method per page, and hacking Watir
to acknowledge an arbitrarily large number of 401 challenges seems
like a complicated job.

Again, I could be wrong, but the code below on my app behaves exactly
like my other demonstration code.

I started getting the RPC server error in my script, when I changed it to
close IE, clear the cache, and restart IE between iterations. The
solution I'm trying, not quite on the list above, is this -

# Close IE and make darn sure it's closed
def closeIE(ie)
	while 1
		begin
			ie.close
		rescue
			break
		end
		sleep 0.1
	end
end

Seems to avoid the RPC error. I just bounce on ie.close until it throws
an exception, before I try to open another IE window.

In this case, please uninstall and reinstall watir and Ruby.  If you
install watir from the source ".gem" file instead of the windows
installer (this obviously does not apply to 1.5.1 since it is only in
.gem format), you will not have the uninstall trouble in the future.

Hi
 
I unstalled the version 1.4.1 using the gem command and after that
installed 1.5 version
But when I used the command  ruby -e 'require "watir"; puts
Watir::IE::VERSION
its showing as 1.4.1. I repeated the same twice but still its showing
the 1.4 version
 
 

Thanks

The problem is that you need to uninstall Watir 1.4.1. Since you didn't use
the gem system to install it, it doesn't know how to uninstall it. Instead
use the uninstall option on your windows menu.

A collegue reports that he directly kills the iexplore process as a way of
closing IE, and avoiding the RPC error.

Subject: [Wtr-general] "DL::DLError too many callbacks defined" from
 winClicker.rb (with fix)
Message-ID: <44CE8C8F.6060909@tower-mt.com>

While running a web scraping application under Mongrel we started 
getting a "DL::DLError too many callbacks defined" exception from 
winClicker.rb (which we're using to pull the static text from Javascript 
popups.

I finally tracked this down to two problems in winClicker.rb where DL 
Callback blocks are defined.  The first problem is that some of the 
callback blocks do a "return" from within the callback.  This "return" 
doesn't just return from the callback, it returns from the winClicker 
function, bypassing the normal termination of the Windows EnumWindows or 
EnumChildWindows call.

I've fixed this by properly setting the callback return code 
(bContinueEnum) so that the Windows call is properly terminated.  In 
cases where the callback was trying to return a value from the callback 
I simply set a Ruby variable that is initialized outside the callback.

However, this didn't solve the DL::DLError problem.  Turns out that the 
DL library keeps it's own callback table (set in the DL.callback call).  
After digging through the DL C source code in dl.c I noticed that there 
is a DL.remove_callback call which is used to remove the callback from 
the DL table.  I've added that call to all of the winClicker.rb methods 
which use DL.callback and my testing confirms that I'm no longer having 
a problem with that exception.

I've checked this fix into the 1.5 development trunk as revision 1070.

Message-ID: <80370839.1154394970269.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Hi

has anyone had to come up with a way of launching an instance of ie from within a script but run as another user context?

I tried using cpau and I can launch a browser using a ruby script. I then run that script using 

cpau -u <user> -p <password> -ex "cmd /K \"launchbrowser.rb <params>"" -enc -file launchbrowser.job

cpau -dec -file launchbrowser.job

whilst this works fine to run the script standalone when I try to run this script from within a testcase using

puts("Foo1")
exec "cpau -dec -file launchbrowser.job"
puts("Foo2")

the browser launches but the testcase dosen't run through to completition drops out to cmd prompt as soon as the exec finishes.

the plan was then to use ie.attach to attach to this browser window

I'm hoping someone else has an easier / better idea to do this sort of thing?
