I have written a ruby program using watir to read some data from IE. It works well on my computer. But on another computer in another city, following exception appears and the program is terminated. I have read some articles on the internet, they said this exception will not influence program running, but my program can not go on running on this point?

What should i do?

It looks to me like you are running into a cross-site scripting limitation.
The frame is being served by a separate server.

This will also work (if you are passing nil or false when you do notwant to set text field). Just a bit shorter.
def enter_text(arg1, arg2, arg3)        @ie.text_field(:name, 'field1').set(arg1) if arg1        @ie.text_field(:name, 'field2').set(arg2) if arg2        @ie.text_field(:name, 'field3').set(arg3) if arg3end

One thing I noticed is that when you install 'watir' using
'watir_installer.exe' located in 'installer' folder it install wrong version
of 'watir.rb' file. Its installs 'Watir 1.4.1' which doesn't contain xpath
support. I think you should use either 'install.rb' file for installation or
copy the files manually.

I tried the same code & its working on my machine. I was able click the
image map. Make sure that the following things are in place:
1. You have latest version of 'watir.rb' file.
2. You have copied 'elements.rb' & 'functions.rb' to [ruby installation
directory]/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml

I don't think you need any thing else than this. Just let me know if problem
still persists.

Regards,
Angrez

Subject: [Wtr-general] Need advice for splitting large scripts into smaller
	ones
Message-ID: <37c405480603021259xfa04d7dy@mail.gmail.com>

I have this one script that I'm working on that is just getting bigger as I
go along.  I would like to break out some of the smaller chunks/tests into
separate script files, but I'm not sure of the logistics of this.  I tried
looking at the unittests but I couldn't answer my questions by looking at
them.

For example, my one (master) script is set up like the following:
----
#includes
#global variables

class TC_blahblahblah < Test::Unit::TestCase
    def cust_method_1
        ...
    end

    def cust_method_2
        ...
    end

    test_a_somename
        yadda yadda yadda
    end

    test_b_somename
    ....
end
----

Now, if I break out "test_a_somename" into a separate script, what is the
correct format for calling/running it from within the master script?

In the new sub-script, do I have to repeat the "class TC_blahblahblah <
Test::Unit::TestCase" structure, or just put the "test_a_somename"
structure?  Do I have to re-include all the require/include lines that were
in the master script?  (I don't think I should, but I'm not sure.)

If I have methods that are defined in the master script, will they be
properly called from one of the sub-scripts, or do I have to put them in the
sub-scripts too? (I expect it to work if they're only defined in the master
script.)

Please forgive these basic questions.  I searched the message archives but I
couldn't find anything helpful other than "you should break up large scripts
into smaller ones when they get too long (like ~ 1000 lines)".  And I
haven't had any success scanning the other Ruby/Watir documentation to give
me practical advice on how to do this either.

Paul.

Hi Angrez,
 
Using firefox, I've gone to the URL below

t.rb?root=wtr
<http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/watir/watir/rexml/eleme

then selected Save Page As ... 
 
then browsed to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\rexml
 
I got prompted to confirm I want to over-write; I selected Yes
 
I did the same for functions.rb.
 
For watir.rb I saved to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8 (I've also tried
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8 just in case I got the wrong location). When I ran my
test script I still got

With nothing to lose, I've tried running install.rb. Here's the output

Hi Chris,



require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.start(" http://localhost/index.asp
<http://localhost/index.asp> ")
ie.element_by_xpath("//map[@id='top_menu_map']/area[contains(@href ,
'signup.htm')]/").click

The browser opens to the correct page but I get the following error
 
web_pages>ruby trial.rb

`element_by_xpath'
        from trial.rb:5


One thing I noticed is that when you install 'watir' using
'watir_installer.exe' located in 'installer' folder it install wrong version
of 'watir.rb' file. Its installs 'Watir 1.4.1' which doesn't contain xpath
support. I think you should use either 'install.rb' file for installation or
copy the files manually.

I tried the same code & its working on my machine. I was able click the
image map. Make sure that the following things are in place: 
1. You have latest version of 'watir.rb' file.
2. You have copied 'elements.rb' & 'functions.rb' to [ruby installation
directory]/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml

I don't think you need any thing else than this. Just let me know if problem
still persists.

Could you please do an apples to apples comparison running your scripts with
different versions of Watir against the same version of your application.
It's possible an application change triggered the performance problem. Let
us know the results. 

It would also be nice if you could share the Watir scripts that are slow.

Paul,
Here is how I am doing it.

I run my tests using test::unit, the same as you. I have organized my tests
into logical groups of test methods, each contained in its own test file.
The framework is flexible and supports running tests as 1) a single test
method, 2) a test file (all test methods in a single file), or 3) a test
suite (set of files).

I try to keep my test framework as simple as possible. I find that xUnit
assertions combined with some simple log output is sufficient for my needs
right now. This approach is quite flexible. I can easily switch between test
environments, users and test sites. Each test is discrete and does not
depend on any other test. All test files are in a single directory by
project (again, to keep it simple).

I have the following "core" files:
common.rb
constants.rb
testrunner.rb

plus many test files.

Here is how they work:

1) common.rb
This is a module file and includes setup and teardown methods (called by
every test method from all test files; read up on test::unit for details),
as well as methods to start IE, clear cache files, log test execution, login
to AUT, etc. Common stuff.

common.rb is where I reference required libs. The file starts like so:

require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'
require 'yaml'
require 'constants' # My constants file

module Common

    def setup
        ...
    end

    def teardown
        ...
    end

...etc.

Check out "Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide" for more info
on modules.

2) constants.rb
As the name implies, just constants. ;-) The file is nothing more than a
list of constants used by my tests, such as paths and some test data that
rarely changes (and does not change during testing).

3) testrunner.rb
My test suite file, modeled after after
C:\watir_bonus\unitTests\core_tests.rb (see Watir unit tests)

As for the test files, each file starts like so:

require 'common'

class TC_Example01 < Test::Unit::TestCase

include Common

    def set_test_defaults 
       ...
    end

    def test_001
        ...
    end

I use a template with the above code for starting new test files.

Some notes-

As the test methods are logically grouped within a file, I made the decision
to put test data in my test files. I tried different ways, but ultimately
found this easiest when developing new tests. The method "set_test_defaults"
is called from each test method that needs access to the data. As well, each
test method calls a "log_test" method (in common.rb) to spit out some useful
information as the tests execute.

Answers to your questions are inline, below.

Hope this helps!

Yes, you must extend Test::Unit::TestCase

 Do I have to re-include

For the approach that I use, yes.

No, best to put common methods in a module.

Wow.  Thanks very much for the detailed reply.  You've given me a lot to
work with.  When I'm finished writing the scripts I'll try breaking them up
in a way similar to how you've described it.

Maybe AutoItX.dll didn't get registered on his machine during the
Watir install?  I've never had to register it manually with the most
recent Watir version, but I guess it's worth a try.

You can try manually registering the dll on that machine, using the
path to the file, like so:

regsvr32 "C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir\AutoItX3.dll"

Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D597@EX5V.rl.gov>

I ran the same test on the same web form using two different versions of
Watir.  The results are listed below.  The web pages load as fast as
they did before the problem is when the script inputs the data.  In
1.4.1 the data is typed and the navigation between input fields is very
quickly, but in the current version 1.5.X the data is typed in
noticeably slower and navigation between input fields is monumentally
slower!

 

My purpose for upgrading was to take advantage of the new popup and
modal windows code as well as xpath and other stuff-xpath didn't work at
all for me either.

 

As a side not, here are a couple of humorous quotes about spelling: ;-P

Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Older scripts running really slow...

 

Could you please do an apples to apples comparison running your scripts
with different versions of Watir against the same version of your
application. It's possible an application change triggered the
performance problem. Let us know the results. 

It would also be nice if you could share the Watir scripts that are
slow.

Thanks for the detailed report. The watir code has several delay settings
that apply separately between keys on text_field.set and between separate
calls. These settings are tweaked by the fast_mode switches as well as other
settings.

You can probably tweak these settings yourself and get better performance,
but it seems like their default settings have somehow changed between 1.4and
1.5. I will look into this further.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Need advice for splitting large scripts into
	smaller ones
In-Reply-To: <37c405480603021259xfa04d7dy@mail.gmail.com>
References: <37c405480603021259xfa04d7dy@mail.gmail.com>
Message-ID: <ade75c5b0603022039p6cca20dbufc75d52c644faade@mail.gmail.com>

Very briefly, there are two things you can do to split your code into
separate files.

1. Put your test methods in separate files.
2. Put your custom methods in separate files.

And then after doing this, you have to be able to put it all together again.

You can put test methods in different classes defined in different files. It
is best if you put them in classes with different names (but they should all
be subclasses of Test::Unit::TestCase).

To stitch them back together again, all you have to do is create a master
script that require's each of the test scripts.

You can put your custom methods in a module that is defined in a separate
file.

module TestsApplicationFoo
  def custom_method_1
    ...
  end
end

Then you can use the methods thus:

require 'tests_application_foo' # name of the file with TestApplicationFoo
module

class MyTests < Test::Unit::TestCase
  include TestsApplicationFoo
  def test_1
    ...
    custom_method_1
  end
end

This is brief, but should set you in the right direction as you read the
various Ruby references.

Hi Chris,

What version of Ruby are you running?
>

I am using Ruby 1.8.2 and latest watir tar ball. Also REXML version is "
3.1.2.1". You can check this by using following command:

ruby -vrrexml/rexml -e 'p REXML::Version, PLATFORM'

But still I have no clue of what is going wrong?

Ouch! We should delete that from trunk. (I'm not on the machine with SVN

Hello,

We have a login and user administration. But we noticed that there are
problems,
when 2 user want to start a test. The first tests just stops. Both tests
where started in
a thread, so that we can navigate through the html site, after the test
starts. Anybody here
who knows how to solve this problem?

Another problem is, that our whole application is very very slow. We use
SCGI + Apache
and to render a site, or a redirect takes about 5 seconds.I know this
isn't a watir problem,
but maybe someone can help :-)

Finally i want to apologise for my bad english, but i tried my best.

What is your problem? Are you having a problem with your scripts because the
application is slow? What problems are you seeing? Please be specific.

Your English is fine, but we can't read your mind.

Thanks for the fast response.
 
1. Test
def start_test_1
  Thread.new { test1 }
  Thread.pass
end
 
def test1
  $ie = Watir::IE.new
  $ie.goto "this is just a test url.com"
  $ie.text_field(:name, "test").set "Input"
  $ie.form(:name, "form").submit
end
 
2. Test
def start_test_2
  Thread.new { test2 } 
  Thread.pass
end
 
def test2
  $ie = Watir::IE.new
  $ie.goto "another test url.com"
  $ie.button(:name, "button").click
end
 
The first test stops at a random position after starting the second one.
When we start the test alone, of course it works. 
Because of the automating, the instance variable takes the same name,
this is
just an example to show, how a test looks like. Showing the whole code
would
be to complex. But normaly the application works like this:
You enter the test code into a textarea. This is written into the
database. A method is generated
and given to a list. This list is used by the Testrunner to run the
test.
 
 
Speed problem:
We have a web application. The time to render a rhtml file, a view,
takes about 5 seconds.
We are using the normal way of navigating through sites. 
For example:

def show_list
  render :action => 'list'
end
 
or 
def show_about
  redirect_to :action => 'list_by_project', :id => params[:id]
end
The rhtml file consists of a few links and projects. Everything comes
from the database.
SCGI: http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/scgi_rails/ and the normal apache.

OK Firstly apologies if this has a really obvious answer that I should have known but it has stumped me and I cant find any really good resources for tables handling (surprisingly)

I have this on a page (see HTML at the bottom) and this table is table[2]. The top row has a box to enter text into (which I can do) and pressing add adds them to the list box at the bottom. I want to automate this and obviously I need to check the bottom box has the artists I added. But I cant seem to hit the table?

I have tried

ie.form( :name, "aspnetForm").select_list( :id, "ctl00_pageBody_FavouriteArtistsListBox").getAllContents

ie.table(:index, 2).select_list(:id,  "ctl00_pageBody_FavouriteArtistsListBox").getAllContents

And a few other things but I cant get the content back out of it. All it tells me is this is an undefined method for #<Watir::Table:(some crap)>

            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td class="FieldLabel" style="color:Black;">Favourite artists:</td>
                    <td class="Field">
                    
                        <span id="ctl00_pageBody_FavouriteArtistsTextBox_RequiredFieldValidator" style="color:Red;display:none;">Please enter an artist</span>
                    
                        <input name="ctl00$pageBody$FavouriteArtistsTextBox" type="text" id="ctl00_pageBody_FavouriteArtistsTextBox" style="width:200px;" />

Message-ID: <dd78cfb30603030353g7d9b4e51qb328031145baddf0@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

Why does this fail:

  $IE0.goto("http://www.google.com/")
  $IE0.form( :name, "f").text_field( :name, "q").set("ruby")
  $IE0.form( :name, "f").button( :name, "btnG").click

This fails with:

WIN32OLERuntimeError: Failed to get IEnum Interface
    HRESULT error code:0x80020003
      Member not found.

If you look at the source of the google search page form "f" *does* exist
and the text field and button exist within it.

This works:

  $IE0.goto("http://www.google.com/")
  $IE0.text_field( :name, "q").set("ruby")
  $IE0.button( :name, "btnG").click

But for a more complicated app that has several forms, which perhaps share
names of objects, the first method is necessary.

Watir WebRecorder correctly records the form for this very reason, but the
first block of code fails, even though the form does exist, with those
objects in it.  Is this a known problem, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi Malcom, I don't know if this will work for you or not, but I solved (what
I think is) a similar problem yesterday.  I had to find a way to click a
link in a table that isn't particularly distinguishable from a number of
other links on the page.  What I did was use relative addressing to solve
the problem.

That is, I told the script to first figure out what cell in the table it
wants and then click the first link it finds within it.  The code looks
something like:

> ie.frame('MainWindow').table(:index,
3)[spec_row][link_column].link(:index, 1).flash
> ie.frame('MainWindow').table(:index,
3)[spec_row][link_column].link(:index, 1).click

In your case, does the following work for you (i.e. replacing 'spec_row' and
'spec_col' with appropriate values)?

> ie.table(:index, 2)[spec_row][spec_col].select_list(:index,
1).getAllContents

When adding dynamic content to a table what I have had to do is
something like:



#Load the contents of the table and its objects into the table variable

      table = $ie.table(:index, 2)

      table[3][2].click

      

      $ie.text_field(:name, ' ctl00$pageBody$FavouriteArtistsTextBox
').set("Some text you add")     

      $ie.button("ctl00$pageBody$AddArtistButton ").click

 

#This will reload the just entered dynamic content so you can search it.

      table = $ie.table(:index, 2)

      sList = table[3][2]. select_list(:id,
"ctl00_pageBody_FavouriteArtistsListBox").getAllContents

 

      for myList in sList

next if myList =~ /Some text you add/

puts "Item found in list"

      end

 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Wtr-general] How do you skip a disabled checkbox?
Message-ID: <37c405480603030845l40bbfd3dk@mail.gmail.com>

I want to run through a set of checkboxes on an input page and press the
[Submit] button in the shortest amount of lines.  Using the API reference, I
came up with the following that works for me:

> ie.frame('MainWindow').checkboxes.each { |x| x.set }

The only problem is that sometimes a checkbox *may* be disabled when you
enter this page.  In that case, when the loop above gets to the disabled
checkbox, it spits out an 'ObjectDisabledException' error (as expected).  Is
there a quick and easy way that I can get this loop to just skip any
disabled checkboxes and continue?

I can't think of any way to use an 'if' or 'unless' argument that will
capture the exception and continue.  Do I have to expand out the loop and
insert 'rescue' lines?

Paul.

I am using watir for a month now and loving it. Is it possible to take
screen shots? The idea is in case a test fails that then a screenshot is
taken and stored in a folder for later review.

one is the name.  I note in the source code comments that the intention

Subject: [Wtr-general] Problem enumerating forms


Hi,

Why does this fail:

  $IE0.goto("http://www.google.com/")
  $IE0.form( :name, "f").text_field( :name, "q").set("ruby")
  $IE0.form( :name, "f").button( :name, "btnG").click 

This fails with:

WIN32OLERuntimeError: Failed to get IEnum Interface
    HRESULT error code:0x80020003
      Member not found.

If you look at the source of the google search page form "f" *does* exist
and the text field and button exist within it. 

This works:

  $IE0.goto("http://www.google.com/")
  $IE0.text_field( :name, "q").set("ruby")
  $IE0.button( :name, "btnG").click

But for a more complicated app that has several forms, which perhaps share
names of objects, the first method is necessary.  

Watir WebRecorder correctly records the form for this very reason, but the
first block of code fails, even though the form does exist, with those
objects in it.  Is this a known problem, or am I missing something? 

Thanks!

Yes, the (:name, "name") format certainly works in some cases.  It is
failing unexpectedly in other situations, such as the google example I
provided - but according to the documentation, and the source of the google
page, there is no reason why it shouldn't work.

I ran the same test on the same web form using two different versions of
Watir.  The results are listed below.  The web pages load as fast as they
did before the problem is when the script inputs the data.  In 1.4.1 the
data is typed and the navigation between input fields is very quickly, but
in the current version 1.5.X the data is typed in noticeably slower and
navigation between input fields is monumentally slower!

 

My purpose for upgrading was to take advantage of the new popup and modal
windows code as well as xpath and other stuff-xpath didn't work at all for
me either.

Obvious possibilities are

 

- response time on the Web pages

- typing speed in the forms

 

Are your pages visible?  Do they look slower?  When they're loading?  When
they're typing?  If you've got one test that takes half a minute and another
that takes three minutes (which you do), the places where slowdowns are
happening are plausibly visible to the human eye.

 

Apropos of not very much, but you noticed that "Problem" is spelled
"Probelm" below, right?

Could you please do an apples to apples comparison running your scripts with
different versions of Watir against the same version of your application.
It's possible an application change triggered the performance problem. Let
us know the results. 

It would also be nice if you could share the Watir scripts that are slow.

Hi,

I am new to Ruby and Watir and have the following doubts. Can someone please
help?

1. When I run a particular .rb file, I would like a directory/folder to be
created automatically and in that my output result text file should be
stored. In other words, a folder should be automatically created at runtime
which would hold a .txt file containing the results. That folder should have
the Date and Time (when the rb file was run)as it folder name. Is there a
way of doing it?? Please let me know.

2. I have grouped around 15 test cases in my test suite. When I run the test
suite .rb file, everything runs properly and at the last, the execution time
is being displayed like 'Finished in ..... seconds.'.
But  I would like to know the time taken for each of my test cases to
finish. Is there a way of doing it ? Can someone please let me know?

3. I would like to increase the speed of execution. Please let me know how
to do it.

I would really appreciate it if someone can help me!

Thanks a lot!
Padhma

There's a terrible problem in your script.  Wait--maybe there's no problem
in your script.  Actually it's kind of hard to tell without seeing the
script.  If you suspected that this were a problem with the program that
you're testing, what would the developer ask you?  What would your answer
be?
 
Ideally, what we'd like to see is the smallest complete script that makes
this happen.

I was tempted not to answer this question, because I thought you would learn
so much more from answering it yourself.  But thinking about it turned out
to be too much fun.  These two methods (put them into a module) work
together to make a directory based on the current minute.
 
class Time
  # when called as a method on a Time object, returns a string in the form
  # YYYYMMDDhhmm
  def timestring
    self.year.to_s + self.month.to_s.rjust(2, "0") + self.day.to_s.rjust(2,
"0") \
    + self.hour.to_s.rjust(2, "0") + self.min.to_s.rjust(2, "0")
  end
end
 
class Dir
  def Dir.mkTimeStampDir
    dirname = Time.now.timestring
    begin
       mkdir(dirname)
       return dirname
    rescue
     puts "Unable to create a directory named #{dirname}
      return nil
    end
  end
end
 
Now you can put
 
folder = Dir.mkTimeStampDir
 
in your code (checking for folder.nil?) and put a file into the
newly-created directory.
 
This illustrates, by the way, how we can add methods to any of the existing
Ruby classes, such that (if we add the code above to an IRB session via the
require statement), we can do stuff like this:
 
irb(main):014:0> foo = Time.now
=> Sat Mar 04 16:37:29 Eastern Standard Time 2006
irb(main):015:0> foo.timestring
=> "200603041637"

Gather enough stuff like this together into a single module, and you can
extend the language and IRB in whatever you like. I LOVE Ruby.
 
2. I have grouped around 15 test cases in my test suite. When I run the test
suite .rb file, everything runs properly and at the last, the execution time
is being displayed like 'Finished in ..... seconds.'. 
But  I would like to know the time taken for each of my test cases to
finish. Is there a way of doing it ? Can someone please let me know?
 
At the beginning of whatever you wish to time, put a line
 
starttime = Time.now
 
At then end of whatever you wish to time, put a line
 
endtime = Time.now
 
When you want to determine the elapsed time,
 
elapsed = endtime - starttime
 
where elapsed will be a value in seconds.
 
3. I would like to increase the speed of execution. Please let me know how
to do it.
 
I presume that you mean typing speed.  Try callling 
 
set_fast_speed
 
at the beginning of the slow bits.

Not sure that this mail got delivered so I am sending it again...

 

I ran the same test on the same web form using two different versions of
Watir.  The results are listed below.  The web pages load as fast as
they did before the problem is when the script inputs the data.  In
1.4.1 the data is typed and the navigation between input fields is very
quickly, but in the current version 1.5.X the data is typed in
noticeably slower and navigation between input fields is monumentally
slower!

 

My purpose for upgrading was to take advantage of the new popup and
modal windows code as well as xpath and other stuff-xpath didn't work at
all for me either.

 

As a side not, here are a couple of humorous quotes about spelling: ;-P

Obvious possibilities are

 

- response time on the Web pages

- typing speed in the forms

 

Are your pages visible?  Do they look slower?  When they're loading?
When they're typing?  If you've got one test that takes half a minute
and another that takes three minutes (which you do), the places where
slowdowns are happening are plausibly visible to the human eye.

 

Apropos of not very much, but you noticed that "Problem" is spelled
"Probelm" below, right?

Could you please do an apples to apples comparison running your scripts
with different versions of Watir against the same version of your
application. It's possible an application change triggered the
performance problem. Let us know the results. 

It would also be nice if you could share the Watir scripts that are
slow.

I was noticing in one of my older scripts that one of the asserts
(assert_arrayEquals) is failing.  Further investigation resulted in not
being able to find it in testUnitAddons.rb, where it used to live.  Did
this assert no longer being used?  Is it somewhere else?  What else is
being deprecated?  Is there a running list of these deprecations
somewhere?

Most of the assert methods in testUnitAddons.rb reported errors incorrectly.
They were also redundant with existing assertions, so it made more sense to
remove than that to fix them.

I believe that assert_arrayEquals can just be replaced with assert_equals.
If you want you can go into the history and see exactly how the unit tests
were updated when this was removed.

This file was really a part of the Watir unit test suite rather than the
Watir library, so this change was not considered a deprecation.

There have been ongoing confusions regarding exactly what is and is not part
of the supported Watir library. We are trying to make this clearer going
forward. We apologize for the confusion. You are free to grab and use an old
copy of the file if you want.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Finding out the order of input elements?
Message-ID: <440D452E.6000805@proventia.fi>

Hi,

I'm new to Watir (and Ruby), so this may be a stupid question.... tried 
searching around a bit, but with little success. So here goes:

How do I find out if an input element precedes another or not?

There does not seem to be a method for accessing all html inputs on page 
at once, nor does not seem to be an index attribute or such in input 
objects. So I can get ordered lists of text fields, selects and buttons, 
but have no way of knowing if, for example, if a certain text field 
element is defined before a certain button on a page. Or do I?

TY in advance,

-PM

You have two different threads concurrently accessing the same browser
($ie). That will lead to exactly the behavior you describe.

You should ask your speed question on the rails mailing list. It doesn't
sound like a Watir issue.

In the recent emails it was described how ppl are splititng up their code in
different files and since i am at the very start of writing down something
for proof of concept, i thought it would be wise to begin with such
structure and keep adding as i go along...

My question is perhaps very simple one and that is, how can i call a
variable say RegUserName as mentioned in below code from my test driver?
RegUserName exists in Constants.rb file. Here is what i have for both as
example:

Constants.rb

Module Constants

RegUserNameLabel = 'first'
RegUserName = 'second'
RegPassLabel = 'third'
RegPassword = 'fourth'

end


Register.rb
#trying to run this as driver for now
require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'
require 'test/unit/assertions'
include Test::Unit::Assertions


class TC_Tickets < Test::Unit::TestCase

require 'Constants'
include Constants

    def test_Registration

      ie = IE.new

        ie.goto('http://firstlink')
        ie.link(:url, 'http://secondlink/register').click


      #Check for blank submissions and assert that errors were raised
      #ie.image(:id, 'btn_register').click
      ie.button(:name, "#{$RegFormButtonName}").click


        ie.text_field(:id,
"#{$RegUserNameLabel}").set("#{$RegUserName}")
<-----dies here cause it returns nil. Obviously it's not getting values off
Constants.rb
        ie.text_field(:id, "#{$RegPassLabel}").set("#{$RegPassword}")

end
end


Any help is appreciated.

You need to be consistent. Either use RegUserNameLabel in both files or
$RegUserNameLabel in both files. You use the first in Constants.rb and the
second in Register.rb.

Subject: [Wtr-general] how to distinguish among links with the same name
Message-ID: <E008ABD5B437B54AA0EFF9D87C2457EF1B4F45@homer.kCura.corp>

I am new in Watir/Ruby and I am trying to figure out how do distinguish links of the same name. 

Now, if I want to click on that link I just do that by name, but that prevent me from accessing all of them. I can perform the Click action only in the first link. The code behind the link (?Add New Code?) is:

 

      ????????..id="_editTemplate__matter__status_hiddenButton" href="javascript:__doPostBack('_editTemplate$_matter$_status$hiddenButton','')" style="visibility:hidden;"></a>&nbsp;<a id="_editTemplate__matter__status__ctl2_anchor" class="JavascriptLink" onclick="AddNewCode_42()">Add New Code</a></td></tr></table>

 

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

 

Thanks-- regina

Hello Regina, at first I wasn't sure I had enough information to help, but
then I noticed the "table" tags in your HTML code snip.  If I can make a
guess, does the HTML page have a table with a bunch of similarly named links
in the same column but in different rows?

If so, there are different solutions that you might try.  One way might be
to try and access the link using the table's cell position.  For example,
using something like:

> ie.table(:index, #)[row#][col#].link(:index, 1).click

(Replace the '#' with appropriate numbers.  This line will click the first
link that it finds in that particular table cell.)

I had a similar problem accessing the links on one page of my AUT.  I wrote
a routine that used arrays to look for a particular row that matched certain
criteria and then it just clicks the link in whatever column number the link
happens to be in.

See if that puts you on the right track.  If not, please provide some more
background information - like the general layout of the html on the page or
the code that you've tried that doesn't work.  I'd be happy to post my code
if you need it, but I'd like to have a better idea that the particular
problem that I solved for our app is similar to your situation.

Hope that helps.  Cheers.  Paul.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Random Watir script failures
Message-ID: <37c405480603081215n156e60e2r@mail.gmail.com>

Hi there, I have noticed that a script of mine seems to be having random
failures that I can't explain.

I am running Watir 1.4.1 on Ruby 184-16 on Windows XP Pro SP2.

The script I'm working with walks through our site map - it enters a page,
gets the page size, download time, leaves and then moves onto the next
page.  The script is correct.

However, at random intervals when I run it, a button or link will fail to
get recognised and the script just stops.  I've been trying to get around
the failures by adding a "sleep 1" (or 2 or 3 seconds) whenever it fails.
This latest run, it wasn't even a button that the script failed on -- it was
a + operator!  Okay, I know that I don't know any workaround for that one!

Here was the error output:
----
  1) Error:
test_d_Reports(TC_LD_site_map_walkthru):
NoMethodError: undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass
    LD_site_map_walkthrough.rb:461:in `test_d_Reports'
----

and line 461 is:

      row_data[42] = row_data[42]  + ',' +
$ie.frame('MainWindow').html.length.to_s + ',' + $ie.down_load_time.to_s

I know there's nothing wrong with this line because it looks relatively
identical to a billion other lines in the script - just the array number
changes.  And it works when I run it the next time.

Other errors I've seen include:
----
  1) Error:
test_d_Reports(TC_LD_site_map_walkthru):
NoMethodError: undefined method `outerHTML' for nil:NilClass
----
(for the same 'row_data' kind of line as above, just elsewhere in the
script.)

and err
