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.

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 errors like the following when I remove strategically inserted "sleep"
lines:
----
 1) Error:
test_d_Reports(TC_LD_site_map_walkthru):
NoMethodError: undefined method `all' for nil:NilClass
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:754:in `getContainerContents'
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:778:in `getObject'
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3063:in `initialize'
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:304:in `button'
    LD_site_map_walkthrough.rb:312:in `test_d_Reports'
----

for line 312: $ie.frame('MainWindow').button(:name, /CancelButton/).click

Is this something that there is a workaround for?  If I had to guess, it
looks like the script is trying to continue before the page itself finishes
loading in IE.

Please help.

Paul.

Regina sent me an email to let me know that the following code allowed her
to click one of the desired links:

> ie.table(:index, 32)[1][2].link(:index, 2).click

However, given the number of tables in the page, she was wondering if there
was an alternate way to click one of the links based on the anchor id.  It's
a hidden JavaScript Link, so I don't know how to do this.  Does anyone have
any suggestions?

Here is the HTML code snippet again for the link she wants to click:
----
<A id=_editTemplate__matter__status_hiddenButton style="VISIBILITY: hidden"
href="javascript:__doPostBack('_editTemplate$_matter$_status$hiddenButton','')"></A>

<a id="_editTemplate__matter__status__ctl2_anchor" class="JavascriptLink"
onclick="AddNewCode_42()">Add New Code</a>
----


(BTW, please reply to her, not me.  Although I am interested in the answer
too.)

Cheers.  Paul.

Message-ID: <B0D561E4E514F447AA08B65C957C8CB402390290@MI_EXCH1>

Hi Angrez,
 
I haven't been able to spend time on this recently. As you can see from the
details below my setup should be okay
 
C:\>ruby -vrrexml/rexml -e 'p REXML::Version, PLATFORM'
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]
"3.1.2.1"
"i386-mswin32"
 
Given the following error
 
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1922:in `elements_by_xpath':
undefined method `elements' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1912:in
`element_by_xpath'
        from G:/workspace/web_pages/trial.rb:3
 
This is what's in watir.rb at line 1922
 
        def elements_by_xpath(xpath)
            doc = rexml_document_object()
            modifiedXpath = ""
            selectedElements = Array.new
=>        doc.elements.each(xpath) do |element|   <= line 1922
                modifiedXpath = element.xpath
                temp = element_by_absolute_xpath(modifiedXpath)
                selectedElements << temp if temp != nil
            end
 
element.rb seems to be the missing link. I've tried this file in several
locations
 
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\rexml
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\watir\rexml 
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\rexml
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir\rexml
 
I've read the code and see where rexml/document gets loaded. If
create_rexml_document_object does its thing then how can the elements be
missing? 
 
Any ideas?
 
Regards
 
Chris
 
p.s.

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 <http://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?

Regards,
Angrez

Hi,
      In our company we recently installed Firewall for security reasons and we had to bypass the proxy server. After this when we ran our watir test cases it throwed out the following exception:
   
  c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1740:in `method_missing': document (WIN32OLERuntimeError)

 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:222:in `frame'
   
  When we removed the proxy server, the watir test cases ran well without giving any error. Why is this happening? Is there a way by which the watir test cases can be run without any errors even after bypassing the proxy server?

I think the problem is that row_data[42] is nil. Are you sure it is
initialized? The error message means that you are using "+" on something
that is nil. It is not a Watir error.

Other errors I've seen include:
> ----

It helps if you can provide a stack so we know what line the problem is
occuring. Different Watir objects use this call (outerHTML), but you haven't
provided enough information to know which one is failing.

This error means there is no MainWindow frame. Watir should probably be
raising an UnknownFrameException here instead.

You can probably work around this problem thus:

if $ie.frame("MainWindow").exists?
  $ie.frame("MainWindow").button(:name, /CancelButton/).click
else
  raise, "MainWindow frame not found"
end

But in the end this only changes how the error message looks. The problem is
that the frame isn't there.

Please let us know if any of these suggestions help.

I do use this for the buttons, but it does not work for the links whose id is in the anchor form:

<a id="_editTemplate__matter__status__ctl2_anchor" class="JavascriptLink" onclick="AddNewCode_42()">Add New Code</a>

Hee hee, oops.  I removed two pages from the array and missed updating these
lines.  It was the last two pages in the script that kept failing.  Makes
sense.  Now I know what that error means.  Thanks.

I think that both of these errors are manifestations of the same problem -
the frame isn't there, yet.

I asked our developers about this and it turns out that with Dot-Net, IE
sometimes reports that it is done before it is finished drawing all the
frames.  (I had even reported some bugs in our app about this a while ago -
the delay can be up to several, noticeable seconds sometimes.)

So on some pages, it makes sense that I have to insert a sleep/wait command
of some sort.  I'll finish the script and then think about refactoring it to
include checks like the one above to make it smarter about waiting for
certain pages to appear before proceeding.

That really helped.  Thanks.

Paul.

Hi Chris,

I am still not able to locate the cause of error. Lets make sure that these
things are in place:

1. You should have new 'elements.rb' & 'functions.rb' copied from tar ball
to [ruby installation directory]/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml. This is the correct
folder where you should have elements.rb & functions.rb.

2. You have latest version of watir installed using install.rb not by using
watir_installer.exe

Let me know if you still face any problem.

Regards,
Angrez

Subject: [Wtr-general] Negative Loop Regular Expression checks
Message-ID: <37c405480603090857q72a9281fi@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

I'm having difficulty programming a negative loop.  That is, while something
isn't there, then do this.  Here's an example:

I've scripted Watir to randomly select a report, and then when the report
comes up it checks the month of the report.  If it's not the month I want, I
have the script click the "Previous" link until it finds the report I want.

Here's the code :
----
      while $ie.frame('MainWindow').span(:id,
/ReportingPeriodValueLabel/).text != 'Dec 2005'
          $ie.frame('MainWindow').link(:text, 'Previous').click
      end
----

This works - most of the time.  The problem is that if the report happens to
come up on particular page, the label value = 'Jan - Dec 2005' and the check
above *always* fails.

I tried to change the comparison value to a regex but that didn't work.
That is, "while blahblah.text != /Dec 2005/" will be True even when the
label = 'Dec 2005'! (That's no good.  I expect it to be false and break out
of the loop.)

I think I'm missing something in the use of regular expressions that I just
don't know yet.  (I'm just starting to learn about them - they are *way*
handy.)

Paul.

try using an 'until'  with the use of =~ /regex/, it will make it clearer

also you may want add more detail to the regex such as it case sensitive? /i makes the regex match case insensitive.

Aha!  "until"!  That is new to my vocabulary.  That works perfectly, thanks!

I really love Ruby and Watir!  I can't believe how readable and easy the
scripts are.  It's almost like pseudo-code, that's how easy it is.

Cheers.  Paul.

By design, Watir should dependably wait for frames to load even when IE
incorrectly reports that it is done. Clearly that isn't working correctly
for your application.

If you can give more specific information about your app and how you're able
to workaround the issue, that would be helpful.

Subject: [Wtr-general] how to handle latency
Message-ID: <20060309195414.488.qmail@web52915.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi Wtr,

I have some automated test cases that do a time range
selection and run a report, then do some validation. Click
the Back browser button, do another time range selection
and run the report, then do validation again... in between
those set of test if my time range span (let's say) over a
month it does take a bit longer to bring up the report. I
added sleep but depending on the network traffic at that
particular time, my script will fail on that validation.
Any idea on how to make the script wait until the report is
generated and validated before proceeding to the next def.

thanks

You might want to consider it a reasonable thing to wrap the snippet below
into the File class, so: 

class File

[the snippet]

end

and put it into a utility module such that you can require and use it
generally.

I don't understand the report.  Does the script fail when you try to access
the page via a proxy server, or when you try to access a page without the
proxy server?  What happens if you try to access the same page manually
using the proxy server?  What happens if you try to access the same page
manually without using the proxy server?

Hi,
    In our company we recently installed Firewall for security reasons and
we had to bypass the proxy server. After this when we ran our watir test
cases it throwed out the following exception:

When we removed the proxy server, the watir test cases ran well without

test cases can ! be run without any errors even after bypassing the proxy
server?

Hi Chris,

I am still not able to locate the cause of error. Lets make sure that these
things are in place:

1. You should have new 'elements.rb' & 'functions.rb' copied from tar ball
to [ruby installation directory]/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml. This is the correct
folder where you should have elements.rb & functions.rb.

2. You have latest version of watir installed using install.rb not by using
watir_installer.exe

Let me know if you still face any problem.

Regards,
Angrez

Hello all,

I'm having difficulty programming a negative loop. That is, while something
isn't there, then do this. Here's an example:

I've scripted Watir to randomly select a report, and then when the report
comes up it checks the month of the report. If it's not the month I want, I
have the script click the "Previous" link until it finds the report I want.

Here's the code :
----
while $ie.frame('MainWindow').span(:id,
/ReportingPeriodValueLabel/).text != 'Dec 2005'
$ie.frame('MainWindow').link(:text, 'Previous').click
end
----

This works - most of the time. The problem is that if the report happens to
come up on particular page, the label value = 'Jan - Dec 2005' and the check
above *always* fails.

I tried to change the comparison value to a regex but that didn't work.
That is, "while blahblah.text != /Dec 2005/" will be True even when the
label = 'Dec 2005'! (That's no good. I expect it to be false and break out
of the loop.)

I think I'm missing something in the use of regular expressions that I just
don't know yet. (I'm just starting to learn about them - they are *way*
handy.)

Paul.

try using an 'until' with the use of =~ /regex/, it will make it clearer

also you may want add more detail to the regex such as it case sensitive? /i makes the regex match case insensitive.

Aha! "until"! That is new to my vocabulary. That works perfectly, thanks!

I really love Ruby and Watir! I can't believe how readable and easy the
scripts are. It's almost like pseudo-code, that's how easy it is.

Cheers. Paul.

Message-ID: <74eaa5760603092228x1b61304doccf3347f08828918@mail.gmail.com>

Hi
I am using Watir Web Recorder version 0.4 to record click events of our
own site.
For recording, web recorder is doing its job properly but watir is not
properly playing it back.
does It has limitation of identify forms.For playing it back i need to hand
edit the code.
Here are  some codes-:
Code i recorded in google site using webrecorder

## Generated by Watir WebRecorder 0.4
## Recorded on Monday, March 6, 2006, at 11:13 AM
#includes
require 'watir'   # the controller
require 'watir/WindowHelper'
include Watir

#test::unit includes
require 'test/unit'

class TC_recorded < Test::Unit::TestCase

 def test_1
  $IE0 = IE.new

  $IE0.goto("http://www.google.co.in/")
  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.form( :name, "f").text_field( :name, "q").set("ruby")

  $IE0.form( :name, "f").button( :name, "btnG").click

  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.link( :text, "Ruby Home Page").click

  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.close

 end
end

Then it is the hand edit code-:

## Generated by Watir WebRecorder 0.4
## Recorded on Friday, March 3, 2006, at 04:15 PM
#includes
require 'watir'   # the controller
require 'watir/WindowHelper'
include Watir

#test::unit includes
require 'test/unit'

class TC_recorded < Test::Unit::TestCase

 def test_1
 $IE0 = IE.new

 $IE0.goto("http://www.google.co.in/")
 $IE0.wait

 $IE0.text_field( :name, "q").set("ruby")

 $IE0.button( :name, "btnG").click

 $IE0.wait

 $IE0.link( :text, "Ruby Home Page").click

 $IE0.wait

 $IE0.wait

 end
end

This code working perfectly and playing it back properly.

Again when i am trying this to my site like-:

Recorded from web recorder-:

## Generated by Watir WebRecorder 0.4

class TC_recorded < Test::Unit::TestCase

 def test_1
  $IE0 = IE.new

  $IE0.goto("mysite")
  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.link( :text, "Nebo GA 1.0 ").click

  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.link( :text, "Nebo Login ").click

  $IE0.form( :name, "loginForm").text_field( :name, "login").set("nbdemo")

  $IE0.form( :name, "loginForm").text_field( :name, "passwd").set("nbdemo")

  $IE0.form( :name, "loginForm").button( :name, "log").click

  $IE0.wait

 end
end

Hand edit code-:

## Generated by Watir WebRecorder 0.4

  $IE0 = IE.new

  $IE0.goto("mysite")
  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.link( :text, "Nebo GA 1.0 ").click

  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.link( :text, "Nebo Login ").click

  $IE0.text_field( :name, "login").set("nbdemo")

  $IE0.text_field( :name, "passwd").set("nbdemo")

  $IE0.button( :name, "log").click

  $IE0.wait

 end
end

When I run this code from command promt it is giving error like

"Unable to locate object using text and Nebo GA 1.0".

I am using Watir-1.4.1 and Ruby 1.8.4.Can you please help.

I am new to work with watir.My application deals with lots of form .Watir is
not identifying forms.Please help me why it is  giving problems handling
with forms or i am doing anything wrong.Please help.

It would help if you provided html snippet of your page, but Watirtells you that it can not find object with text "Nebo GA 1.0". This isstrange, because you are trying to click link with text "Nebo GA 1.0 "(notice extra space at the end).
Change
$IE0.link( :text, "Nebo GA 1.0 ").click
to
$IE0.link( :text, "Nebo GA 1.0").click
(remove extra space at the end) and it should work (but I can not beshure until I can see your html).
You could have the same problem with this line.
$IE0.link( :text, "Nebo Login ").click
I hope this helps, and I could help you more if you send html snippetof your page.

Rails? Visit http://www.rubyonrails.org/. They have mailing list, butthis is the wrong one. Also, if you copy/paste your error somebodycould actually help you, I think they can not read minds (or is itjust me). :)
If you want to install Watir, your error would really help.
Do not thake this personally, but "Re: [Wtr-general] Wtr-generalDigest, Vol 28, Issue 15" is not a really good subject. Try somethinglike "I want to install Rails but it give an error".

Hi Zeljko,
Yeah thats true.Because of that extra space watir was not
able to recognize the text.I was recording the events
using watir webrecorder0.4.It was recording one extra
space for text.Here i am sending code of javascript file.
Can i automate it using formname.
Here is the script recorded by webrecorder.

## Generated by Watir WebRecorder 0.4
## Recorded on Wednesday, March 8, 2006, at 11:00 AM
#includes
require 'watir'   # the controller
require 'watir/WindowHelper'
include Watir

#test::unit includes
require 'test/unit'

class TC_recorded < Test::Unit::TestCase

 def test_1
  $IE0 = IE.new

  $IE0.goto("http://nebo.applabs.net/")
  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.link( :text, "Nebo GA 1.0 ").click

  $IE0.wait

  $IE0.link( :text, "Nebo Login ").click

  $IE0.form( :name, "loginForm").text_field( :name, "login").set("nbdemo")

  $IE0.form( :name, "loginForm").text_field( :name, "passwd").set("nbdemo")

  $IE0.form( :name, "loginForm").button( :name, "log").click

  $IE0.wait

 end
end

Here is the javascript file code:

var str_loginForm = "" +
"<span class=n_msg>" +
"<form name=loginForm>" +
"Please enter the login-id and password to access the system" +
"<br><br>" +
"<table class=n_field>" +
"<tr><td>" +
"Login Id" +
"</td><td>" +
"<input type=text name=login onkeypress=changecolor(login);>" +
"(min 6 chars)" +
"</td></tr>" +
"<tr><td>" +
"Password" +
"</td><td>" +
"<input type=password name=passwd onkeypress=changecolor(passwd); >" +
"(min 6 chars)" +
"</td></tr>" +
/*"<tr><td>"+
"</td><td align=left>"+
"<input type=checkbox name=remember value=1>Remember Me"+
"</td></tr>"+*/
"<tr><td>" +
"&nbsp;" +
"</td><td align=left>" +
"<input type=button name=log value=Login

"</td></tr>" +

"</form>" +
"</span>" ;

Thanks in advance.

Message-ID: <e26bda3e0603101010r1cc2f261mc4c16cb86ef4bcfd@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Bret,

I have committed the code for 'FireWatir' in branch named 'firefox'. Now we
can run WATiR scripts against 'Firefox'  browser.

Anyone who wants to have a quick preview can download the code from this
branch. For using the version follow the instructions provided in the
'installation doc' provided.

The current version is very slow as compared to IE. But if you use xpath for
selecting the elements it will be much faster but will still be slow with
respect to IE.

This version contains following things:

1. Support for following elements:
     Buttons, checkbox, filefield, hidden elements, images, links,
radiobuttons, selectbox, textbox.
2. Support for Window pop-ups.
3. Support for JavaScript pop-ups. This is using AutoIt3 but needs to be
more better that what it is right now. There may be problems with this.

Future plans:
1. Provide support for other elements.
2. Provide good support for handling JavaScript pop-ups.
3. Make it more faster.

In case you face any problems please feel free to contact me.

Regards,
Angrez

Yay!

Congrats Angrez on getting this to work.

Angrez used JSSH as a remote-control mechanism for Firefox.  For those
interested in porting Watir to other platforms, I've built jssh
install packages (.xpi files) for Mac (ppc) and Linux and they are
available here: http://people.mozilla.com/~davel/jssh/

Like several other methods, IE#form can take one or two parameters. If only
one is given, then it is presumed to be a :name. I don't encourage this
usage, but it is supported.

Regardless, this is unrelated to Marcus' problem.

Hi Bret,

I have committed the code for 'FireWatir' in branch named 'firefox'. Now
we can run WATiR scripts against 'Firefox'  browser. 

Anyone who wants to have a quick preview can download the code from this
branch. For using the version follow the instructions provided in the
'installation doc' provided. 

The current version is very slow as compared to IE. But if you use xpath
for selecting the elements it will be much faster but will still be slow
with respect to IE.

This version contains following things:

1. Support for following elements:
     Buttons, checkbox, filefield, hidden elements, images, links,
radiobuttons, selectbox, textbox.
2. Support for Window pop-ups.
3. Support for JavaScript pop-ups. This is using AutoIt3 but needs to be
more better that what it is right now. There may be problems with this. 

Future plans:
1. Provide support for other elements.
2. Provide good support for handling JavaScript pop-ups.
3. Make it more faster.

In case you face any problems please feel free to contact me.

Regards,
Angrez

I ran your script with both Watir 1.4.1 and Watir 1.5.0.928 (aka HEAD). It
worked for me in both cases. You didn't indicate which version of Watir you
are using.

If you give the full error message, i would be able to speculate as to the
possible cause. Specifically i'd need to know the line number of the error
and preferably the full stack.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Ruby-Watir test case organization (dir hierarchy)
Message-ID: <4b616f150603101214x55abfe15hdb6bcb4c018d798b@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings All:

First off; I am fairly new to *Ruby* and Watir (3 - 4 months), and I
really excited about its potential. I am also very new to the user
group. I have done some research, but I am unable to find the answers
to my problem, so I apologize if this is a redundent topic.

Now, lets get to the point....

I am using *Ruby* and Watir to build set of tests for a product. As my
tests are increasing in number I need to begin building a directory
hierarchy that will help organize and easily extend my tests. Below is
an example of the hierarchy I am experimenting with (with no success).

-- Product
        -- common

        -- includes
                include.rb -> contains: references to lib files ie:
                         require '../product page A/lib/prod_pageA.rb'   -->
{See below}
                         require '../product page B/lib/prod_pageB.rb'

        -- product page A
                -- lib
                        prod_pageA.rb
                -- *test*
                        tc_prod_pageA.rb {require '../../includes/include'}

        -- product page B
                -- lib
                        prod_pageB.rb
                -- *test*
                        tc_prod_pageB.rb {require
'../../includes/include.rb} or {require
'../lib/prod_pageB'}

        -- release_night_tests
                -- lib
                -- *test*
                        test_relnight_A.rb {require
'../../includes/include'}

        -- composit_tests
                -- lib
                -- *test*

The intent is to reference all of the product page libraries
(product_page_name/lib) from the include.rb. That way I can create
composit tests as well as release night tests, smoke tests and others
(those end-to-end tests that utilize multiple pages to verify certain
features of the product), by simply including the include.rb file
alone.

This layout is not working for me, so I thought I would query the group
to see where I am going wrong or a better approach to organize my
tests.
Thanks,

Subject: [Wtr-general] Implementing concurrent Unit Test Cases in Ruby and
	Watir
Message-ID: <4b616f150603101215m6a80a85cg27095a5a6cf0608c@mail.gmail.com>

Can anyone point me to an example of executing a test case in multiple
threads concurrently?

There are 10 instances of the application under tests running on 4
different boxes.

I am attempting to build a release night test that will use the url and
verify what instance of the web app we have accessed (by checking a
developer inserted tag in the source). If the instance of the app has
not been encountered a series of tests will be executed, other wise the
script will log off, close the browser, launch a new browser and try
again.

I would like this process to run from multiple threads concurrently in
hopes of hitting all app servers quicker.

This test has been simulated manually, but I am not sure how to
implement in Ruby and Watir.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to reproduce this error using both Watir 1.4.1 and Watir
1.5.0.928.

I committed a fix (and a unit test) for this problem. The fix is contained
in revision 935.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Help with Watir/XPath
Message-ID: <20060310145712490.00000007232@gmcshea-pc2>

Hi,

I've reviewed all the XPath related posts here and am still unable to get a simple statement with xpath expression working. Here is what I have done to setup my installation:

1. Installed ruby 1.8.2
2. Installed watir 1.4.1 using windows installer
3. Installed REXML 3.1.3 
3. Downloaded the latest tarball
4. Copied TARBALL_HOME\watir\watir.rb to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8
5. Copied TARBALL_HOME\watir\watir folder to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8
6. Copied TARBALL_HOME\watir\doc, examples, and unittests folders to c:\watir
7. Copied TARBALL_HOME\watir\watir\rexml\elements.rb and functions.rb to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\rexml and C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\rexml

Here is a snippet of the source I am testing:
<DIV style="LEFT: 0px; OVERFLOW: hidden; WIDTH: 655px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px; HEIGHT: 148px">
  <SPAN style="LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 655px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px; HEIGHT: 148px">
    <BUTTON onclick="return false">Add</BUTTON>
    <BUTTON onclick="return false">Delete</BUTTON>
    <BUTTON onclick="return false">Reset</BUTTON>
  </SPAN>
</DIV>

Using "ie.button(:value, 'Delete').click" works fine.

The watir Xpath statements I have tried are:
ie.button(:xpath, "//button[text()='Delete']").click
ie.button(:xpath, "//button[@value='Delete']").click

These both fail with the error:
The undefined method `root_node' for <UNDEFINED> ... </>:REXML::Document
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rexml/xpath_parser.rb:154:in `expr'

I tried running the xpath_tests unit test but I ran into the problem described here:http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general%40rubyforge.org/msg02864.html

My application has many instances where there is no unique way to identify elements so using Xpath is a must for me.
Any help in getting this working is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

Review older messages again I see that the elements.rb and functions.rb are only supposed to be copied to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\rexml. I have done this and restored the original versions of the files to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\rexml. Now when I run my script I get a different error:

Subject: [Wtr-general] Moving to OpenQA.org
Message-ID: <ade75c5b0603101546g6cb55dbdme004b027872bca68@mail.gmail.com>

We are in the process of moving many of the services that have been provided
on RubyForge.org over to OpenQA.org. You'll be seeing more and more signs of
this, so i thought i would send out a quick status report. If you have
questions or want to help, please speak up.

Repository

The source repository has been moved to Subversion (SVN) on OpenQA. You can
see it here:
http://www.openqa.org/watir/cvs.action

All of the existing committers who have requested commit access to the new
repo have been given it.

Previously CVS automatically sent email to an email list whenever a change
was made. We don't have that option with SVN right now, but instead there is
an RSS feed which does about the same thing:
http://svn.openqa.org/fisheye/rsscfg/watir/

This is a good time for me to talk about a couple of things we get with
Subversion.

1. Every commit gets a global commit number, which effectively amounts to a
tag. What this means is that we can now reliably identify any development
version that you pull out of SVN (in case we have trouble reproducing a bug
or whatever). This in fact will be reported in Watir::IE::VERSION, e.g.:
1.5.0.926. The last number is the SVN revision number, uniquely identifying
a snapshot of the entire code base (not just the watir.rb file).

2. File history is retained when files are renamed or moved. This didn't
happen with CVS and so we were reluctant to rename files or reorganize the
code. Now there is little reason not to do that.

BTW, there has been some confusion about what it means to "check out" code
from CVS or SVN. Unlike other source control systems, neither CVS nor SVN
allow or support locking files. So anyone can check out files. But these
systems have checks in place that check to see if anyone has modified any of
the files you are checking in since you checked them out. If so, you will
have to merge your changes with theirs.

Wiki

We are migrating the wiki to the Confluence wiki on OpenQA. I've started the
process, but there is still plenty of work to be done.
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR

The main advantages of Confluence over what we've used before is that it
allows attachments so it will be easy to set up contributions pages and
allow people with small libraries or example code or whatever to easily
share it with others. We will probably be moving some of the unsupported
contributions that we've previously packaged with Watir to the wiki. (So
that only supported code will be contained in our library).

Any Watir users can have access to this wiki. Unlike past wiki's, you do
need an account first. (This should keep the wiki spammers away.)

Tracking

I've just started to set up the new bug tracking system. This is Jira, which
is really good. The main problem with the old tracker at RubyForge was that
you couldn't reclassify bugs as features etc. Jira lets you mix them all
together in a single system. You can check this out here.

http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel

Another good thing about Jira is that it allows people to vote on the
features and fixes that they want most. If there is a bug that you want
fixed, feel free to put it in Jira.

them all together in a single system. You can check this out here. 

http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.syste
m.project:roadmap-panel

Another good thing about Jira is that it allows people to vote on the
features and fixes that they want most. If there is a bug that you want
fixed, feel free to put it in Jira.

The WATIR FAQ is now located here:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ

Note that one of the new features of the new wiki (Confluence) is that you
can directly link to anchors in a page. E.g. If someone asks about how to
dismiss a security alert, we can direct them to
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#FAQ-securityalert and this will take
them to the exact question. Cool huh?

Sorry I forgot to mention the versions. I have tried it on Firefox 1.5 &

Hi,

Try the following XPath:

ie.button(:xpath, "//button[contains(.,'Delete')]")

What I think wrong with you xpath is that you are trying to access button
which has attribute called 'value' whose value is 'Delete'. But there is no
button with attribute 'value'.

Try the above XPath & let me know if it's not working.

Message-ID: <ade75c5b0603110007y1a4635b6u9600115af0e3283d@mail.gmail.com>

I just collected this information for the wiki. Feel free to update.
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Tools+Supporting+Watir

AutAt

AutAt is an Eclipse plugin, supporting test-driven development of web
applications. It converts a visual representation of web tests into
executable tests. Supports several test drivers. Watir support was added in
February 2006. Open source. http://boss.bekk.no/boss/autat/
Watir WebRecorder

WebRecorder is an action recorder for web applications. A version that
creates Watir scripts was released in February 2006. A handy tool to help
learn Watir. A horrible idea if you think this is going to allow you to
create scripts without understanding the code. Free, but not open source.
http://www.mjtnet.com/watir_webrecorder.htm
WatirMaker

WatirMaker is a prototype of an action recorder for Watir, written in C#.
Public domain. http://www.hanselman.com/blog/WatirMakerVersion001Source.aspx
WatirNUt

WatirNUt is a utility that creates a portable, testable NUnit binary wrapper
around watir test scripts and supporting files. This binary can easily be
executed in NAnt's <nunit2> task, with aggregated results displayed in your
web dashboard.

WatirNUt gathers information about your test suites, including the files
needed to support them, and uses this information to generate NUnit test
fixtures to run your test scripts. Any number of scripts can be included,
and any number of supporting files can be associated with each script.
WatirNUt compiles the NUnit test fixtures under a single namespace provided
by you, and embeds all the scripts and supporting files as resources.

When you use any NUnit runner on the generated assembly, the Watir tests run
and their results are fed and formatted back into NUnit for use in
CruiseControl build reports or whatever you like.
Source is not apparently available, although predecessor code is public.

Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D5A8@EX5V.rl.gov>

I have been trying to get xpath to work in my scripts but have not been
able to do so.  

 

I have the latest from trunk (Version "$Revision: 934 is what it says in
the watir.rb file) and ruby 1.8.4-16 and whatever REXML comes with that.

 

Here is the error I am getting:

  1) Error:

test0_originator(TC_PER):

</>:REXML::Document

    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/xpath_parser.rb:148:in `expr'

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit.rb:285

C:/watir_bonus/working/PER/tc_PER_Significant.rb:15

 

Here is my test script:

$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 ==
__FILE__

require 'C:\watir_bonus\unitTests\setup'

 

class TC_xpath_test < Test::Unit::TestCase

    include Watir

    

    def gotoPopUpPage()

        $ie.goto("C:\\watir_bonus\\working\\test.html")

        $ie.set_fast_speed()

    end

    

    def test0_textfield

      $d = Time.now.strftime("%m/%d/%Y") 

      gotoPopUpPage()

 

      $ie.text_field(:xpath , "//input[@name='beforetest']/").set("#{ $d
}")

    end

end

 

Here is the test html:

<html>

       <head>

<title>

Test page for Text Fields

</title>

       </head>

       <body>

These text fields are used to test :beforeText and :afterText

<br>

<input type = text name = beforetest value = 'Before Text Test'>This
Text After

<br>

This Text Before<input type = text name=aftertest  value = 'AfterText
Test' title = "This used to test :afterText">

 

<br>

<br>

 

       </body>

 

</html>

 

Is there something I am missing?  The xpath stuff runs in the unittests.

Message-ID: <f462129b0603131201y173c78c0i87ec1e757850e70f@mail.gmail.com>

I'm having trouble getting WaTiR to interact with authentication
dialogs or Javascript dialogs (i.e. "Are you sure?"-style messages).  
I've found that unittests/WindowLogonExample.rb also doesn't run for
me, generating the following error on Windows XP sp 2 Home:

C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir-1.4.1\unittests>ruby WindowLogonExample.rb
Loaded suite WindowLogonExample

./../watir/WindowHelper.rb:5:in `initialize': unknown OLE server: `AutoItX3.Cont
rol' (WIN32OLERuntimeError)
    HRESULT error code:0x800401f3
      Invalid class string      from ./../watir/WindowHelper.rb:5:in `initialize
'
        from WindowLogonExtra.rb:6
.
Finished in 333.296 seconds.

1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors


(333.296 seconds was where I shut down MSIE manually; AFAICT the test
would have hung indefinitely had I not done so.)

My due diligence search of the archive found a bunch of references to
this thread from August '05 that doesn't sound too certain that this
test should be working now:

http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-August/002861.html

I also found this thread from June that sounds like it was working then:

http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-June/002241.html


My next step will be to take the latest CVS and see whether that works
in my environment.   Meanwhile, can someone please confirm that this
*SHOULD* work on a normal Windows XP installation, i.e. that I'm not
spending time to troubleshoot a test that's known to fail for whatever
reason?

Thanks,

Philip

That particular unit test works fine for me on XP Pro SP2, however I
installed Watir using the win32 .exe installer.  From the look of
things you installed with the .gem, I wager?

It could be the autoit DLL is not registered on your system.  Perhaps
installing with the .gem doesn't handle that automagically in some
(all?) cases?  I've never used the Watir .gem so I can't say for sure.

Try manually registering the autoit DLL using regsvr32, and then try
the unit test again:

regsvr32 \ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\watir\AutoItX3.dll

Message-ID: <20060313173601381.00000010500@gmcshea-pc2>

Hi,

I seem to have "broken" Watir somehow. I have been happily building/testing evaluation scripts using Watir and have been able to run the examples and unit tests OK. 

When running a script today my app failed to load in the browser. I tried a few more times with the same result. Now I cannot get any scripts (which were all previously working) to load a page in the browser when launched with Watir. 

Everytime I launch a Watir script IE starts but the location does not load in the browser. This is even happening with the sample google test suite. After a couple minutes I get the "The page cannot be displayed" error in IE. If I then manually enter a URL in the same browser session I get the same result. However if I launch a new browser manually (not initiated by Watir) the same URL loads just fine. For some reason IE sessions launched by Watir cannot load an URLs.

Any idea whats going on or how to fix this without complete reinstallation. BTW, ruby seems to be OK as I can still run the FreeRIDE.

Thanks,
Greg

What version are you running?

Does rebooting your machine fix the problem?

Can you run the scripts with the same version of the app that previously
worked? Or does the problem only occur with the new version of the
application?

Brett,

Rebooting the machine solved the problem. Thanks for the suggestion. I was reluctant to reboot at the time since I was several hours into a build.

Thanks,

I opened up a command prompt and typed in "irb".  I then typed in your lines
below one at a time.

Your "goto" line has an extra space at the beginning of the line.
That is, please remove the space after the quote in: "
http://www.google.com/"

The rest of the lines worked as expected for me when I removed this extra
space.

Hope that helps.  Paul.

Hello Tanushree, I found problems with those examples too.  I think they are
fixed for the next release.  In the meanwhile, I would recommend that you
use these script errors as an opportunity to practice debugging your first
Watir scripts.  Here's some help to get you started.

(1) Download SpySmith at http://www.qualityforge.com/spysmith/index.html
- This page has all the instructions you need to use the tool.
- Follow the "Download" link at the top of the page to download and install
it.

(2) google_maps.rb:
- I found that the text input field has been renamed on the Google page
since the script was first created.
- Use SpySmith to find out the identifiers for the text input field.  Change
the text input box reference in the script to match. (There are a few ways
you can do this.)

(3) mouse_over.rb:
- The link names have changed on some of the pages.  (The year is
different.)
- Use SpySmith to identify the links that you think the script is trying to
click.  Update the link references in the script to match.

(4) yahoocheck_test.rb:
- This Yahoo! page is just completely gone.  I can't think of any easy way
to update this example.
- I just left this example alone but I used it for reference when I actually
had to check some checkboxes in one of my own scripts.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

Paul.

I've known this was broken for awhile, but haven't checked in a fix. 
Mea culpa, y'all.

Don't beat yourself up over it.  Bret and I checked this script against the
current development build a few weeks ago and it failed for a different
reason.  The script failed to get the HTML for the frame to compare the
results.

I *need* that feature working for one of my script suites to work correctly,
so I'm still using 1.4.1 right now.  I can't wait to get my hands on some of
the feature improvements in the latest build, but I just can't work around
the frame().html errors.

No worries.  I'm still on the learning curve and 1.4.1 is working great for
me.

Cheers!  Paul.

Unlike firefox extensions, this xpi package doesn't open up as file dialog
for me. On trying to install as xpi(.zip) file, it just opens up the file
contents and starts displaying the binary data... I don't think the problem
is at my end as i am perfectly able to install and use other .xpi
extensions. Could you look into it please?

Btw, i was trying on WinXP Firefox 1.5.

Thanks.

Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D5AD@EX5V.rl.gov>

I am running into issue where during a test.  I select a value from
select box (1) and based on that value a span tag is shown with another
select box (2) and I make a selection from that select box (2).  A
little further down in my script I do a search for a checklist and when
the page refreshed the selection made from the select box (2), within
the span tag, is being reset.  Does anyone know why this is happening?
This does not happen when I run the application manually.

 

Ruby version 1.8.4_16

Watir revision  934

 

Here is my script:

 

$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 ==
__FILE__

require 'C:\watir_bonus\unitTests\setup'

 

class TC_ARM_Start < Test::Unit::TestCase

    include Watir

    

    def gotoPopUpPage()

        $ie.goto("c:\\arm\\main.html")

    end

 

    def test_main

      $d = Time.now.strftime("%m/%d/%Y") 

      gotoPopUpPage()

      $ie.selectBox( :name, "Program").select("LMIT")

      $ie.span(:id, "TR2").selectBox( :name,
"myProjectID2").select("MARK-TEST")  #this one is being reset

      $ie.selectBox( :name, "DocumentMethod").select("by Checklist
Number")

      $ie.textField( :name, "SearchString").set("TST")

      $ie.button("Search").click  #when this happens the second
selectbox is reset

      

      $ie.radio( :id, '72', 1).set

      

      $ie.button(/Start/i).click

    end

    

end

 

The web page is attached

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi Mark, I don't know what "Watir revision 934" is.  I'm using 1.4.1 and I
don't _seem_ to have a problem with the script.

I did modify some of the lines, but perhaps the problem has something to do
with the actual Search feature?  Here are the lines I modified:

      $ie.selectBox( :name, "myProjectID2").select("MARK-TEST")  # I took
out the Span tag - it seems unnecessary

      $ie.radio( :id, '72').set     # I don't know why you had an extra ",
1" in there.

Instead of 'clicking' the buttons, I just flashed them.  The first time I
ran the script, it opened up a million windows all trying to connect to some
server.  If the page refresh after clicking the [Search] button is resetting
a drop-down value, I can't imagine how Watir is doing that.

I don't know if this helps, but it did _seem_ to work for me.  Would it help
if you tried inserting a 'sleep' delay after performing the Search?

Paul.

Greetings All:

I am wondering is there any way at all to programmatically (using Watir and
Ruby) access the HTML Source (manually done by selecting View Source in IE)?

A developer has embeded some information in the page source as an HTML
comment for me to retrieve and use at runtime during the execution of my
Ruby::Watir tests, but I cannot seem to find out how to retrieve this
information.

Thanks so much,

Kalen

Is the latest Watir from trunk

. 

>>"$ie.selectBox( :name, "myProjectID2").select("MARK-TEST")  # I took

Sometimes it can't find the object without the span tag, and sometime it
does.

 

>>"$ie.radio( :id, '72').set     # I don't know why you had an extra ",
1" in there." 

I think that was some legacy radio button code, you use to have to put a
1 to indicate you wanted it selected.

 

The value in the select box >>"$ie.selectBox( :name,
"myProjectID2").select("MARK-TEST") << still gets reset.  I have never
had this happen before.  I have written many, many test cases for
applications that have similar behavior and have never had a selected
value get reset, but this one is.  When I run the test case manually the
value persists, but when I run it via my Watir script it gets reset.
Don't know what the problem is I was hoping someone else had seen this
before give me a fix/workaround.  

 

FYI I get the same behavior in 1.4.1 too.

Yes, I thing that is causing your problem. It is a Watir bug, I thinkit is already reported/fixed, but I am not shure. You can search bugdatabase or this mailing list to be shure.
Workaround for now is to ask your developer to put <!-- info is here--> in body.

Use a subversion client: http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html.
There are installers and docs including a Windows based explorer client,
easy to use and do a checkout on the head revision of Watir.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Watir is resetting one of my selectBox selections.
Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D5B0@EX5V.rl.gov>

Ok I have figured out what the trouble is...

 

The developer put an 'OnBlur' event behind the selecting from the
troublesome dropdown, which would populate a form variable with the
value of the selection.  That event was not happening in my script (not
sure how Watir does it but you actually have to give the select list
focus in order for the OnBlur event to fire, or call the event
explicitly).  When I added this line to my script >>$ie.selectBox(
:name, "myProjectID2").fireEvent("OnBlur")<< then it set the variable
and would not reset the value.  Everything for the minute is
golden-mostly.

 

 

def test_main

  $d = Time.now.strftime("%m/%d/%Y") 

  

  gotoPopUpPage()

      

  $ie.selectBox( :name, "Program").select("LMIT")

      

  $ie. selectBox( :name, "myProjectID2").select("MARK-TEST") 

  

>>$ie. selectBox( :name, "myProjectID2").fireEvent("OnBlur")

 

  $ie.selectBox( :name, "DocumentMethod").select("by Checklist Number")

      

  $ie.textField( :name, "SearchString").set("TST")

  

  $ie.button("Search").click  

 

  $ie.radio( :id, '72').set

 

  $ie.button(/Start/i).click

End

 

Just a thought, but it might be worth putting something in the FAQ or
some other doc about event gotchas like this to help other not waste
there time.

 

Thanks to all who resonded!

This is actually one of the things I really like about exploring with
Watir.  It seems to me that there's a real design question here.  Not
that this isn't a gotcha, but I don't think it's a FAQ, either.  (I've
never seen anything like this, for instance, and I don't think this
situation has ever turned up on the list.)

I was able to reproduce another instance of this problem and recently
committed the fix to SVN.

I think the problem only occurs when you don't need to use the form syntax
because there is only one form on the page.

I would like us to start posting development releases. This "download the
tarball" idea is getting more and more troublesome. I updated the rakefile
over the weekend to make it easier for us to create gems and the one-click
installer.

I've run into the same problem myself. There is some kind of memory leak in
Watir.

A better workaround is simply to kill the IEXPLORE.EXE process that is
running.

I've had a heck of a time tracking this bug down. Can you tell me if you use
any attach methods or winclickers or anything like that? That's my suspicion
as to the source of the leak, but like i said, i haven't been very good at
tracking it down.

There are lots of known bugs mentioned in this email list, some of which
have fixes. A lot of the traffic here is discussing them. ("Is this a known

It would be a big help if you could search through the email list and
collect these items in our new bug tracking system, Jira:

There is a Jira issue open on this one. Paul sent me a fix, but i couldn't
get it to work.

If someone wants to investigate further and figure out what is going on that
would be great.

The unit tests for frame().html work, so there is something specific to that
example that is broken.

This is indeed a bug. Watir should automatically be triggering an onblur
event when doing a select. It does similar things for other controls. Please
add this to Jira, so we can be sure to fix it.

There are lots of known bugs mentioned in this email list, some of which
have fixes. A lot of the traffic here is discussing them. ("Is this a

It would be a big help if you could search through the email list and
collect these items in our new bug tracking system, Jira:

Hi Zeljko,

You are not doing anything wrong here. The current version for Firefox is in
sync with what is available on the tar ball. So the 'watir.rb' in Firefox
extension is refactored version of 'watir.rb' file that is available on the
HEAD. So I think that is the source of error.

So, what you should do is download the latest tar ball, install watir from
that tar ball & then apply the Firefox extension. Let me know if this works.

I will also update the installation document.

Regards,
Angrez

I already use TortoiseSVN (for version control of my watir scripts)but I did not know that I could checkout watir like that. :)
I tried to checkout watir, but it did not work.
This is how one can checkout my scripts.
1. make folder at your hard disc2. right click it3. context menu opens4. select "SVN Checkout..."5. at "URL of repository" text box enter "http://{server}/{path}"(example: my path is "svn/tools/Tests/trunk", "http" can also be"https" but this is another story)6. at "Checkuot directory" text box enter "{drive}:\{path}" (example:"C:\watir", but this is already there)7. click button OK8. wait for a while9. after you see message "Completed At revision: {revision nuber}"click button OK once more
I tried to do if for watir, but I do not know what to enter at step 5.At repository browser I tried
http://svn.openqa.org/watirhttp://svn.openqa.org/trunk
and many more, and got messages that look like this
Error: PROPFIND request failed on '/watir'Error: PROPFIND of '/watir': 405 Method Not Allowed (http://svn.openqa.org)
Am I missing something?

I installed watir from tarball, but now I have another problem.When I start firefox from cmd
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox>firefox.exe -jssh
"JSSH: A Java Secure Shell client library" page opens(http://www.pitman.co.za/projects/jssh/index.html).
Then I check if JSSh is listening on port 9997 but I get error message.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox>telnet localhost 9997Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, onport 9997: Connect failed
I remember this also happened several times yesterday. Is this becausewww.croczilla.com/jssh is unavailable?

Subject: [Wtr-general] AjaxMethod pop-up
Message-ID: <880925dd0603150357u1f09571p@mail.gmail.com>

I'm testing a page that has a list of items in table. You can click on
an icon to delete one of the items. This uses an onclick event -
onclick="javascript:return ConfirmX('t',977);" -  which calls the
function below. The function produces a popup with OK and Cancel
buttons.

function ConfirmX(list,id)
{
    if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?"))
        AjaxMethod.OnDelete(list,id,RepaintDataCallback);
    return false;
}

I've tried all the usual methods, as per FAQ and Unit Tests, to click
OK on the popup but nothing works. I don't get an error message - the
popup just sits there until I manually close it. Can anyone suggest a
solution?

Thanks,

George

My script doesn't have the space in - must have happened somehow when

Excellent, thanks.

That would explain why it failed on Google but worked elsewhere.  Though
it's strange most other people were unable to duplicate with my Google
example.

First I did ask the developer to move the info down into the body, and that
will happen by end of day today.

In the mean time....

I downloaded watir-1.4.1.exe windows executable last night, and still was
not able to access the information. Can you tell me the command I can enter
into irb to confirm the version of Watir? While I am in the there, can you
tell me the command to get the Ruby version number?

Also, this is how I am trying to verify text in the source:


ie.html.include? "info here"

It seems to work pretty fast even with a large amount of data.

Let me know what you think,

Thanks,

As I understood it, Bret wrote that this but had been resolved AFTER1.4.1. was released ("This is indeed a bug that has been fixed since1.4.1.")
Until they release a new version, you can download latest commit fromhere (there may be something even fresher at http://svn.openqa.org/,but ignore that for now)
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/root.tar.gz?root=wtr&view=tar
Unzip it, run install.rb and you will have the newest watir.
> Can you tell me the command I can enter into irb to confirm the version of Watir?
You can do it from command prompt
ruby -e 'require "watir"; puts Watir::IE::VERSION'
and from irb
irb(main):002:0> require "watir"=> trueirb(main):003:0> Watir::IE::VERSION=> "1.4"

This is indeed a bug. Watir should automatically be triggering an onblur
event when doing a select. It does similar things for other controls.
Please add this to Jira, so we can be sure to fix it.

This is actually one of the things I really like about exploring with
Watir.  It seems to me that there's a real design question here.  Not 
that this isn't a gotcha, but I don't think it's a FAQ, either.  (I've
never seen anything like this, for instance, and I don't think this
situation has ever turned up on the list.)

I was able to duplicate the problem with the Google India page. I've
customized my own Google (USA) page, so that may have been why i couldn't
reproduce it there.

What country are you in?

Subject: [Wtr-general] Image FileSize is a string?
Message-ID: <37c405480603150831k265db8b3r@mail.gmail.com>

Hello there, I've been playing with the "image" functions lately and I
noticed something that seems odd to me that I'd like to check.  I am using
Watir 1.4.1.

In one of my scripts that checks the web page size and load times, I didn't
factor in the size of the graphics because in most cases they were
negligble.  However on some reports, the whole page is mostly made up of a
large chart image.  In that case I wanted to include the image file size as
part of the "page size".  Here's the line of code I use:

   page_size = $ie.frame('MainWindow').html.length +
$ie.frame('MainWindow').image(:index, 2).fileSize.to_i

The question I have is why "length" returns a number but "fileSize" returns
a string (of a number)?  It took me a minute to figure out that fileSize was
returning a string and that's why the sum was failing.  Once I appended the
".to_i" it worked fine.

Is this by design?  It just seems a bit inconsistent to me.  Since I don't
know the history of this function I thought I'd ask.  I haven't explored any
other functions that return numbers to see if they are also strings.

Paul.

I had the same problem on the main Google page and also the Google India
page.  I tried both because the person that brought this to my attention was
using the India page.   I'm in the UK.  I have the same problem whichever
Google page I use.

I don't know who added this. It was either Paul Rogers or someone else. It
wasn't me. So i can't tell you what the intent was. Someone could search
through the commit history to find out when it was added and by whom.

This is great info!

Thank you for your help on this!

Just to share; I am piloting a move away from a proprietary application
(Silk Test), and working more with Ruby::Watir and also working in HttpUnit,
within an Agile development project.

Hopefully in the not too far off future I will be able to contribute my
knowledge and experiences with those seeking help through this mailing list.

Once again I really appreciate the help!!!!

show_all_objects returns nil and a bunch of text to stdout.  Is there anything

You could parse the html.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Error when window closes using IE.attach
Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D5B5@EX5V.rl.gov>

I am getting the following error when the window I have attached to
closes and returns to the main window-actually the main window closes
too and the error is displayed.

 

I can't send the web page due to proprietary and confidential
information, but what it does is there is a name picker that pops up in
a new window (the one I am attaching to) and once a name is selected
clicking the button closes the window and transfers the selected name to
the main window and is displayed in a select box.

 

Ruby version 1.8.4_16

Watir revision 934 (current from trunk)

 

  1) Error:

test_main(TC_ARM_Start):

WIN32OLERuntimeError: busy

    OLE error code:80004005 in <Unknown>

      <No Description>

My watir script:

        $ie.goto("http://apwtst200.rl.gov/ARM/main.cfm?screen=0")

    end

    

    def test_main

      $d = Time.now.strftime("%m/%d/%Y") 

      gotoPopUpPage()

      $ie.selectBox( :name, "Program").select("LMIT")

      $ie.selectBox( :name, "myProjectID2").select(/MARK-TEST/i)

      $ie.selectBox( :name, "myProjectID2").fireEvent("OnBlur")

      $ie.selectBox( :name, "DocumentMethod").select("by Checklist
Number")

      $ie.textField( :name, "SearchString").set("TST")

      $ie.button("Search").click

      

      #$ie.selectBox( :name, "myProjectID2").select(/MARK-TEST/i)

      $ie.radio( :id, '72').set

      $ie.button(/Start/i).click

      

      $ie.selectBox( :name, "ProjectVersion").select(/4.4/i)

      #$ie.selectBox( :name, "namedisplay").select(/4.4/i)

      $ie.button("...").click

      

      sleep 2

      nw = IE.attach(:title, "ARM")

      nw.text_field( :name, "Filter").set("Cain, Mark")

      nw.button(:id, "PersonnelSearch").click

      nw.button(:id, "SelectButton").click

 

      $ie.status()

      $ie.text_field(:name, "d_date").set("#{d}")

      $ie.selectBox( :name, "d_time").select(/15 minutes/i)

      $ie.textArea(:name, "").set("Me\nMyself\nI")

      

    End

 

End

 

Anyone seen this before?  

 

I have used attach before without issue.

 

Thanks,

Replace this code:

  $ie.button("...").click

With this:

  $ie.button("...").ole_object.click

The problem is that the normal click method has in implicit "wait" and this
is failing because it is polling the browser to see if it is still loading a
page when the browser disappears (which in your case is correct).

This workaround does a click without a wait. Watir 1.5 has a new
click_no_wait method which also should be able to handle this situation.

This in any case a bug. Feel free to post it to Jira if you'd like to see a
fix.

We have plans to replace IE#show_all_objects with IE#elements.show, using a
new IE#elements iterator. This is already in the the old tracker on
Rubyforge (i think).

Using this, you could easily get an array with:
  elements_array = ie.elements.collect

You can try this out with any of the existing collection objects (e.g.
ie.text_fields.collect).

Feel free to put this in Jira and reference the Rubyforge tracker item if
you can find it. Thanks.

Yes, I can see DOM Inspector 1.8.0.1 at extensions.

"telnet localhost 9997" worked for me two days ago, but then Firewatir did
not work because I had watir 1.4.1.

I'm not sure but is the new browser window opening when the link is
clicked?  Do you have the Popup Blocker enabled in IE?  This also happened
to me the first time I ran the mouse_over.rb script.  I had to "allow
popups" for this Fort Lewis site in Internet Explorer.

If it's not that, I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Paul.

DOM  Inspector has nothing to do with  JSSh extension. I don't know why its
not working if it has been working before. Try installing it again & let me
know if it works.

Hi Bret,

I haven't used any winclickers but right before the problem started to occur I did execute an attach command from an irb command window.

Thanks,

  Brett,

  Rebooting the machine solved the problem. Thanks for the suggestion. I was reluctant to reboot at the time since I was several hours into a build.

    Hi,

    I seem to have "broken" Watir somehow. I have been happily building/testing evaluation scripts using Watir and have been able to run the examples and unit tests OK. 

    When running a script today my app failed to load in the browser. I tried a few more times with the same result. Now I cannot get any scripts (which were all previously working) to load a page in the browser when launched with Watir. 

    Everytime I launch a Watir script IE starts but the location does not load in the browser. This is even happening with the sample google test suite. After a couple minutes I get the "The page cannot be displayed" error in IE. If I then manually enter a URL in the same browser session I get the same result. However if I launch a new browser manually (not initiated by Watir) the same URL loads just fine. For some reason IE sessions launched by Watir cannot load an URLs.

    Any idea whats going on or how to fix this without complete reinstallation. BTW, ruby seems to be OK as I can still run the FreeRIDE.

    Thanks,
    Greg

Hi all,

Replace this code:

  $ie.button("...").click

With this:

  $ie.button("...").ole_object.click

The problem is that the normal click method has in implicit "wait" and
this is failing because it is polling the browser to see if it is still
loading a page when the browser disappears (which in your case is
correct). 

This workaround does a click without a wait. Watir 1.5 has a new
click_no_wait method which also should be able to handle this situation.

This in any case a bug. Feel free to post it to Jira if you'd like to
see a fix.

I can't send the web page due to proprietary and confidential

a new window (the one I am attaching to) and once a name is selected
clicking the button closes the window and transfers the selected name to
the main window and is displayed in a select box.

FYI concerning this slowness issue.  I do some of my script development
in Komodo 3.5 (it has a pretty good debugger), but today I was using
Eclipse and the difference in execution speed was dramatic!  In eclipse
they ran almost as fast as 1.4.1-just about 10 - 15 seconds slower but
that could have been my machine.

 

Just thought you might be interested.

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.

By the way, I downloaded and installed the version of watir that you
recommended and everything is working great!

Hi Angrez,
 
To the best of my knowledge I have everything installed. I'm going to get my
head round the Ruby debugger and see what I can glean.

2. You have latest version of watir installed using install.rb not by using

Actually install.rb is broken in HEAD.

This information makes all of your earlier reports suspect. You never said
anything about running the scripts under a debugger.

The correct baseline is to run your scripts from a command line, not from an
editor/debugger. If you want to update your original report with information
from that baseline, then it can be considered.

It is certainly possible that different editor and debugger environments
introduce performance problems. But that isn't how you originally reported
this bug.

Message-ID: <ade75c5b0603162213v39322e87o78b56f18e6d35022@mail.gmail.com>

Frankly i have been surprised at how poor many of the bug reports on this
list have been. They routinely omit key information.

For a while, i thought that testers knew how to write good bug reports, but
i actually see better bug reports on the mailing lists for open-source
developer tools. Are developers better than testers are reporting problems?

I'm considering refusing to try and speculate and suggest possible solutions
when reports fail to provide the full error information and actual scripts.
And i'm considering asking the other active answer providers on this list
(like Zeljko and Michael and Chris) to follow the same policy.

Now that the web recorder has lowered the bar for many people to start using
Watir, i'm thinking we need to raise the bar for what information needs to
be provided to get out attention.

Comments please. It's been a very busy week at work and i'm tired and am
unsure of my judgement here. Does this sound reasonable?

Thanks for the answers. I guess I'll have to test the (luckily) few 
troublesome pages manually for now, or even write page-specific (*gasp*) 
scripts for them.

I'll post a workaround if I'll ever find the time to make one.

For those of you interested in looking at the latest version of Watir
currently in development, but not really interested in using Subversion or
trying to figure out how to install Watir manually... We now provide
development versions of both the gem (which has been tested) and the
one-click installer (which has not).

Well, I think it is because your code is all wrong. :)

Your html does not show hidden type select box (I think it even does not
exits). But, you could have just typed hidden by mistake (instead of
disabled). But, just in case...

Your html shows a hidden input field

<input type="hidden" name="anSortValues[field1]" value="2">

and a disabled select box

<select name="bPlaceholder" disabled style="font-size: 9
px"><option>1<option selected>2<option>3<option>4
<option>5<option>6<option>7<option>8</select>

Please do check this site http://www.w3schools.com/ (for html visit
http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp) for more info.

If you have this html

<select name="bPlaceholder" disabled><option>1<option
selected>2<option>3<option>4<option>5<option>6<option>7<option>8</select>

and you would like to know what is selected, this will do it

irb(main):014:0> ie.select_list( :name, "bPlaceholder").getSelectedItems
=> ["2"]

It does not matter that it is disabled.

If you would like to get all options, try this

irb(main):015:0> ie.select_list( :name, "bPlaceholder").getAllContents
=> ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8"]

I hope I answered your question.

My mistake. DOM Inspector got selected in extensions after I installedJSSh extension so I thought that it has different name there. I justuninstalled all extensions that I have, restarted firefox andinstalled JSSh, but there is nothing at extensions (not even anotherfirefox restart).
Sould it be visible at extensions?

Could Watir have a --bug-report option that collected this information?

It should have access to the script and the HTML, should be able to
record it's own version number, and extract RUBY_PLATFORM so we know
what this is running on (OK, only Windows works for now, but there's
native and cygwin).

The --bug-report option could possibly fail for cases bigger than 5kB.
Or something.

It would not hurt to remind people of where the FAQ is when the prototype
report is generated.  Adding an automatic search is probably overkill.
For those searching the archives, at present the FAQ is here:

http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ

The tone of ESR's document is felt to be harsh by some people.  I
don't know if my document

http://www.eng.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~hgs/support.html

is more useful in that respect, but the context is narrower -- it is
designed for where I work. Feel free to adapt it.

As to why this is happening: many people have testing thrust upon
them, and are inexperienced in what makes a good report and what
doesn't.  People assume that developers will be so familiar with the
code base that even a sketchy report will suffice.  And familiarity
with an area means it can be hard to understand why other people
don't see things the same way: "I thought that was obvious".

Thanks.  That is a good article.

I've just created an account for the FAQ.   Lots of the entries have
{anchor:...} markup (in the edit view).  How does one reference
these?  I think the FAQ would be easier to use if we had a table of
contents.  This would also make it clearer where a "Submitting Bug
Reports" section might go.

Also, does Watir have a Bugzilla or equivalent?  I don't recall
seeing refs to it, and google doesn't have anything obvious in the
first 10 results.  Something like it might help to control the flow
of bad bug reports.

I've added these to my new Watir page, in the hope that this will
nudge google et al to look in the right place.  Patches, corrections
etc welcome.

No.  The current version of jssh, when installed, is not listed in the
extension manager.  I suggest you try re-installing jssh, and remember
to restart Firefox after the install.

Has anyone else tried using this and run into problems?

I tried re-installing jssh (and I remembered to restart Firefox after the
install) and even reinstalling Firefox. No luck. Am I the only one with this
problem (or even the only one that tried to do it?)?

After I perform firefox.exe ?jssh, http://www.croczilla.com/jssh opens with
error page

The connection has timed out
The server at www.croczilla.com is taking too long to respond.

Is this causing the problem?

Hello Tanu, I took a course called "Problem Solving and Programming
Concepts" at my local college about four years ago.  We focussed on
understanding the way object-oriented programs are put together and used
'pseudo code' to write pretend code that would perform certain functions to
solve certain problems.

Using Watir is remarkably simple and easy to read and very similar to the
pseudo code that I learned in that course!  I'm afraid that I don't know any
other references or resources to help someone get started in scripting.  I'm
still learning how to do it myself.  I'm finding that as I learn to use
Watir and Ruby, each week my scripts become more powerful and flexible than
the week before.  The scripts I'm writing this week are way more advanced
than when I started about a month ago.  (In fact, I will have to re-write or
refactor all that code at some point in the near future.)

Essentially, you become a better programmer and are able to write more
powerful scripts with time and practice.  I don't believe that this mailing
list is the appropriate forum for teaching someone to program.  If you
encounter a specific problem with one of your Watir scripts, check the
online documentation, search the message archives, and ask any programmers
or developers that you work with at your office for help.  If you still
cannot find the answer to your problem, then feel free to follow the posting
guidelines (see the message thread titled "Bad Bug Reports") to ask for help
here.

I learned a ton of stuff from one of the programmers at my office in just
five minutes by asking him to take a look at Ruby and Watir.  He called up
the SciTE editor, hit [F8] and [F5] and ran the script to see what the
output was.  That was amazing!  I didn't know it could do that!  That one
tidbit alone saved me a ton of work switching back and forth between command
prompt windows.

I hope some of this helps.  Best wishes.

Paul Carvalho

Yes, developers on open-source projects are *much* better at reporting
problems.  The bad questions and noise on this list and every other
list should get handled in an evolutionary way.  There are a couple of
canonical things that tend to happen, in my experience:

1) ignore the clueless and they will go away.  If they turn into
trolls, don't bait them, they'll go away.  Don't spend time answering
silly questions.
2) Flame the clueless and they will leave.  This is not the best
solution, but it tends to happen frequently.
3) Make a special place for rank beginners to go.  The Perl community
did this a number of years ago.  Newbies on comp.lang.perl were being
viciously flamed, and a lot of the leaders of the Perl community were
starting to fear that there might not be a next generation of Perl
programmers if such an attitude continued.

So they started a mail list for beginners.  Today, basic and/or
ignorant questions are gently routed to the beginners list.  Many
important figures in the Perl community (Randal Schwartz and Tim
Bunce, for instance) spend significant amounts of time helping the
newbies, but the newbies also find that they can help each other.  As
a beginner, finding that you can answer someone else's question is
immensely empowering.

Personally, I learned quite a lot on the Perl beginner's mail list,
enough to hold my own in the perlmonks community for a year or so,
enough to pick up Ruby when Watir came out.
What do you think about a watir-beginners list?  (I'm not sure a
ruby-beginners list is warranted at this point, but I think a
watir-beginners list would be useful.)

I would spend at least some time helping beginners on a beginners
list, where I am not inclined to help them on the main list.

What do you think?

Subject: [Wtr-general] Need Help with assert_equal
Message-ID: <37c405480603171110s6c550467t@mail.gmail.com>

Hi there, I am having difficulty with an assertion in one of my scripts.  I
couldn't find anything in the Watir API Reference for "assert_equal" and
when I searched the message archives, I think I'm using it correctly.

Here's the sitch:
- running Watir 1.4.1, Ruby 184-16 on Win XP Pro SP2
- I want to check that a certain label on the page = "TEST" before I proceed
with the next line (which is to delete the current showing record)

Line of code in my script:
    assert_equal("TEST" , $ie.span(:id, /NodeIdentifierLabel/).text )

When I run the script, it fails on that line with the output:
----
  1) Failure:
test_g_R_n_D(TC_OD_site_map_walkthru) [OD_site_map_walkthrough.rb:522]:
<"TEST"> expected but was
<".">.

4 tests, 1 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors
----

I used IRB to attach to the IE window and I ran the command:
----
irb(main):049:0> puts ie.span(:id, /NodeIdentifierLabel/).text
TEST
=> nil
----

Is there something I'm doing wrong?  Where can I find out more information
about these assertion commands?  The Watir API reference lists a different
set of commands than are used in the unittests.

Please let me know.  Thanks.  Paul.

It's pure Ruby, no Watir involved.

assert_equal is telling you that your code is yielding a single period
and you told it to expect to find "TEST".  That's how all of the
asserts work.  (Except plain old "assert", which always yields the
error message "FALSE is not TRUE" which isn't very helpful.)

Pickaxe v.2 has a nice section on unit testing with test/unit along
with all of the forms of 'assert' available.

That's very odd.  Specifying "-jssh" on the command-line should not
affect the start page.

Perhaps you are not typing the same thing we are suggesting?

What is displayed on the javascript console?

Your html does not show hidden type select box (I think it even does not exits). But, you could have just typed hidden by mistake (instead of disabled). But, just in case... 

Your html shows a hidden input field

<input type="hidden" name="anSortValues[field1]" value="2">

and a disabled select box

<select name="bPlaceholder" disabled style="font-size: 9 px"><option>1<option selected>2<option>3<option>4  <option>5<option>6<option>7<option>8</select>

Please do check this site http://www.w3schools.com/ (for html visit http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp) for more info.


If you have this html 

<select name="bPlaceholder" disabled><option>1<option selected>2<option>3<option>4<option>5<option>6<option>7<option>8</select> 

and you would like to know what is selected, this will do it

irb(main):014:0> ie.select_list( :name, "bPlaceholder").getSelectedItems
=> ["2"]

It does not matter that it is disabled. 

If you would like to get all options, try this

irb(main):015:0> ie.select_list( :name, "bPlaceholder").getAllContents
=> ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8"] 

I hope I answered your question.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Older scripts running really slow...
Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D5BF@EX5V.rl.gov>

FYI - I get the same results whether I run the script from inside of
Eclipse, Scite, notepad++, etc-there is no difference- the only
exception is the script run slower in Komodo and I don't run it in the
debugger.  The other issues I have reported, namely the exception with
the button click, happen regardless of whether I run them via one of the
IDEs mentioned above or a command prompt.  Please give me little credit
that as a tester I know what I am doing, and that I don't report
something unless I have done some investigation first.

 

And for the record, I think WATiR is a great tool (I use it in some way
everyday) and I want to see it get better, so I report what I see.  And
whether it turns out to be some anomaly with my environment (and windows
has many of those) or a bug I would think that this information would be
invaluable to the developers as well as the project lead.  If you need
additional information for clarification or want addition tests run to
help isolate the potential problem, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Thanks to you (and all those involved) for all the hard work you do!

This information makes all of your earlier reports suspect. You never
said anything about running the scripts under a debugger.

The correct baseline is to run your scripts from a command line, not
from an editor/debugger. If you want to update your original report with
information from that baseline, then it can be considered. 

It is certainly possible that different editor and debugger environments
introduce performance problems. But that isn't how you originally
reported this bug.

that could have been my machine.

 

Just thought you might be interested.

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

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.

In Windows 2K, I opened a DOS console, and cd'd to the FireFox directory in
Program Files. I then entered this on the command line:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox>firefox.exe -jssh

My FireFox browser opens, and it times out trying to hit croczilla.com (I get
the a JS-style popup with a time out message). I don't believe I have jssh
installed. I have never knowingly installed it, so maybe this is default
behavior if you don't have it installed -- FF tries to redirect you to that
site. Just a stab in the dark.

Hope that helps.

Okay, that's what I thought it meant, but I couldn't figure out why that
was.  Here's the gory details of how I solved this problem.

The HTML page I'm looking at is very simple.  Other than a menu at the top,
there's a split screen layout that is really a table with two columns (no
border).  In the Left column is a tree-view of a "node" list, and on the
right side is just two description labels that give you some information
about the selected/highlighted node on the left.  When you first enter this
page, the root level item is selected in the tree and the text labels just
show a '.' beside them.

My script *before* looked like this:
---
      $ie.span(:index, 108).click

      assert_equal("TEST" , $ie.span(:id, /NodeIdentifierLabel/).text )

      $ie.button(:name, /Delete/).click
---

If you use the web app, what is *supposed* to happen is that when you click
on an item on the left, the right side is supposed to update and show you
the correct information.  You even see the IE browser's 'flag' waving in the
upper right hand corner of the screen until the information is displayed.

What seems be happening is that right after the click event, Watir is going
right to the next line (the assertion) and not waiting for IE to finish
retrieving and displaying the information. (unexpected)

I tested this theory by inserting a 'flash' line between the first two:
      $ie.span(:id, /NodeIdentifierLabel/).flash

This *showed* me that right after the click event, the script immediately
checked the text label on the right hand side without waiting for the
browser to update the page.

Okay, so I need to tell my script to wait a few seconds (however long it
takes actually) until the page is refreshed, so I inserted the following
sleep command:
---
      $ie.span(:index, 108).click

      sleep 1 until $ie.span(:id, /NodeIdentifierLabel/).text != '.'

      $ie.span(:id, /NodeIdentifierLabel/).flash

      assert_equal("TEST" , $ie.span(:id, /NodeIdentifierLabel/).text )

      $ie.button(:name, /Delete/).click
---

NOW, the 'flash' line shows me that the label correctly shows "TEST" and
everything proceeds as expected.

So I *was* using the assert_equal command correctly, I just wasn't expecting
the script to continue without waiting for the page to finish updating.

I've got these "sleep" lines scattered throughout my scripts because of
pages like this.  I haven't been able to figure out the pattern yet, but the
scripts seem to be randomly going faster than the web application is
returning control to the UI.

Good to know.  I'll try to pick this book up soon.  The online version of
v.1 is handy, but I really need some of these updates now.

Cheers.  Paul.

Nice use of "until".
This not waiting is a little disturbing, though.  You say it happens
fairly often for you, too.  I wonder if there's some sort of common
cause for this?

Thanks.  Pierre Garigue added it to my 'vocabulary' in a reply last week and
I've been finding great uses for it ever since.  =)

I don't know for sure, but I have an idea of a possible related effect.  We
have several Dot-Net web apps and this 'impatient' script behaviour seems to
happen more often with one app that makes more use of frames than the
others.

Some Background:  I had logged a bug with our app last year when I happened
to be testing with a particularly slow and underpowered test server one
day.  The bug was titled: "INQUIRY - Why does the IE Web Browser look like
it stops working?"

Basically, the general idea was that when I clicked a tab or link or
something on a certain page (not all of them), you notice the IE Browser's
'flag' icon start waving in the corner as it tries to complete the request,
as expected.  However, if you then move the mouse, you see that the flag
*stops* waving and browser control has returned to the user.  But the page
hasn't completed the request or finished loading - so what gives?

The reply I got from Dev was : "Nothing we can do about this.  The flag is
an indicator for loading the outer frame (ie the url in the address field of
the browser).  On the really slow server you see this effect because the
inner frame page takes a long time to load.  We see it all the time on our
local machines as well."

I trusted that they didn't just feed me that line to make me go away. ;)  We
never see this effect on our regular test servers or even with our
Production servers because they are faster and more powerful, so I never
gave it a second thought until I encountered these scripting quirks
recently.

My Hypothesis:
- I think I read somewhere that Watir/Ruby is getting its "Ready to proceed"
signal from the IE Browser and I suspect that the script is a bit premature
at times because not all of the frames have finished loading when it must
get the green light from the browser.

- With the script that I was working on today, there weren't any frames and
I can't even visually see the delay between the click event and displaying
the information on the page.  As far as my eye is concerned, it looked
instantaneous.  However, when I put the "flash" line in there, I realised
that Watir went *immediately* from the "span.click" command to the next line
(zero wait).  So it found the "." that was already displayed there but
didn't wait for the page to finish refreshing to the corresponding value.
(unexpected)

So, if I had to guess, I think it may have something to do with the "click"
routine in Watir.  Perhaps it needs to have additional wait checks in
there?  (i.e. to ensure that not only the Browser has given the 'go ahead'
signal, but also that all the frames have finished loading *and* the buttons
are enabled..?  I really don't know how this works, so forgive me if these
suggestions are already implemented.)  I also didn't know if this is was
even common to other web apps until you used the word "too".

Dunno.  If my scripts trip anywhere it's always right after a click event.
That's where I insert these little sleep lines.

I haven't logged this as a Watir bug yet, because I can't always reproduce
it.  There are some pages where it seems to happen frequently, but not
always.  Let's just say that I think the 'probability' is high that it has
something to do with the script not waiting around long enough after all
click events.

Unfortunately, I'm still trying to complete my task to meet the business
need for my scripts so I haven't been able to investigate this further.  I
only offer this information now in case it is helpful for someone else to
continue the investigation.  It might be a wild goose, it might be helpful.
Never can tell with intermittent bugs.

Cheers.  Paul.

One. I copy/pasted it from Installation guide for FireWatir

firefox.exe ?jssh

And the solution is here! I copy/pasted it from the Installation guide for
FireWatir!

And it seems that Word transforms -jssh to ?jssh. Replaces hypen (-) with
dash (?).

Something like

Word (2003 sp2) > Tools > AutoCorrect Options... > AutoFormat > Replace >
Hypens (--) with dash (?).

But two hypens should be replaced with one dash.

When I replaced

firefox.exe ?jssh

with

firefox.exe -jssh

everything worked fine.

It does not work with two hypens (firefox.exe --jssh).

Thank you all for helping me.

What have I learned? Never write documentation in Word. Do it in Notepad.

Message-ID: <72799cd70603181021t7fc637edta69d0823bca0b828@mail.gmail.com>

Hi...
    I'm reviewing the Scripting for Testers material with an eye to
teaching newbies, and found a small irritation.
    If you do ie.show_all_objects for the timeclock, you get

text              name=name           id=login

but to flash the dang thing, you need to type

ie.text_field(:name, 'name').flash

Intuitively I want 'show_all_objects' to report the thingie I want to
manipulate.  So I guess what I really want is for show_all_objects to
report "text_field" not "text".

Or am I just being grumpy?

This sounds fine to me. If you want to make this change, i'd be happy to
commit it.

I've had a mind to replace IE#show_all_objects with IE#elements.show...

Hi...

Pardon the interruption, but I'm scratching my head over this one.

the "<<" syntax works fine for assigning a ton of XML to a variable "str" i.e.

str = <<END_OF_XML
<requestroot xmlns="http://foo">
<lastname xmlns="" >#{lstnm} < /lastname>
<firstname xmlns="">#{fstnm}</firstname>
</requestroot>
END_OF_XML


but if I try to assign a large SQL statement to a variable using the
same technique, Ruby is trying to parse the parens and things as if
the SQL were code:

foo_test.rb:47: syntax error
foo_test.rb:49: warning: don't put space before argument parentheses
foo_test.rb:50: warning: parenthesize argument(s) for future version
foo_test.rb:51: syntax error

anyone have any suggestions for getting Ruby to Do The Right Thing when

Thank you very much.
I'm blushing, even though you can't tell in email.

Subject: [Wtr-general] How can my script wait until a new window has
	finished loading before using IE.attach?
Message-ID: <37c405480603201332g39afe2c3o@mail.gmail.com>

Hello again,

I am having a bit of difficulty getting my script to wait for a window to
finish loading before attaching to it.  Here's the original code:
----
      $ie.link(:text, 'View Report').click

      ie2 = IE.attach(:title, /View Report/)

      # stuff happens

      ie2.close
----

If I run it as above, I get the following error:
"Watir::Exception::NoMatchingWindowFoundException: Unable to locate a window
with title of (?-mix:View Report)"

The problem seems to be that the Title bar initially has a URL displayed in
it and then, after a while (random number of seconds), it updates to the
correct <TITLE>.  So the command will *eventually* work, but it will fail if
it checks the window too soon.

I tried inserting a 'sleep' command between the first two lines above, but I
can't account for how long it will take the window to finish loading.

I searched the message archives but I couldn't find anything that helps me
tell the script to wait as long as it needs before trying to attach to the
new window.

I tried making up combinations of functions to try and help me, but so far
nothing has helped.  For example, I tried working with commands like:
>    IE.attach(:title, /View Report/).exists?     # but this doesn't work as
I'd like

and the ie.status() method only applies when you can actually connect to the
window first, so it doesn't help me either.

I thought about creating a series of nested begin-rescue-end blocks to catch
and work with the exceptions, but I still couldn't quite figure out how to
get it to wait the random amount of time required before trying to attach to
the window.

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem before?  Do you have any
suggestions that might help?

Please let me know.  Thanks.
Paul.

I had the same problem with one of the application I test and what I had to do is something like:

 

      $ie.link(:text, 'View Report').click

                                         ? - the url (or part of) initially displayed in the title bar

      ie2 = IE.attach( :url, /index.html/i )
      puts ie2.status()
      ie2 = IE.attach( :title, /View Report/ )
      puts ie2.status()
      # stuff happens
      
      ie2.close

 

The first status will halt the application until the ?done? status is reached and then it moves on to the next line.

 

--Mark

David,

That error message indicates that $ie is nil, which is to say, it
hasn't been initialized. It needs to be assigned in the test_* method
or the initialize method. (Or you need to get fancy, which is what we
do in our unit tests.)

You said that you are trying to structure your test scripts. I suggest
you do this in smaller steps. First just put the common code in a
separate method (not called test*) in the same class. Then move it
outside the class. And only then move it to a new file. There are
small gotcha's with each step, so it's worth taking these small steps
until you understand the source of each of them.

Subject: [Wtr-general] How can my script wait until a new window has
	finished loading before using IE.attach?

The code base in development allows you to configure this.

  IE.attach_timeout = 10

This is number of seconds to wait for the window specified in attach
statements to appear/load. This should be exactly what you are asking
for.

Paul, Mark, Anyone: Lemme know happens if you try this out. Does it
solve your problem?

(There is a lot of great stuff in development, which is why i'm eager
to stabilize the code base and make a new release.)

Subject: [Wtr-general] How can my script wait until a new window

In-Reply-To: <ade75c5b0603202115m8935fc7uf9090a0f0597f401@mail.gmail.com>
Message-ID: <00ce01c64cab$fa216910$c5a8078b@Koko>

I observe only one thing that's odd about this.

When I start up IE manually, I'm taken to google.ca (the Canadian version).
The title bar for the window reads "Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer".

I set IE.attach_timeout to 15.  I issue this command

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

and the ie object successfully attaches.

This line of code fails to find the same window:

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

Watir::Exception::NoMatchingWindowFoundException: Unable to locate a window
with title of (?-mix:Microsoft)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-
1.5.0.934/./watir.rb:1268:in `attach_browser_window'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-

        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-
1.5.0.934/./watir.rb:1128:in `attach'
        from (irb):9
        from ?:0

However, it does find the "Microsoft" when I go to Microsoft's site.  In
this case, the window is titled "Microsoft Corporation - Microsoft Internet
Explorer".

I would conclude that the " - Microsoft Internet Explorer" is not part of
the title, even though it looks like it from a human point of view.

The code base in development allows you to configure this.

  IE.attach_timeout = 10

This is number of seconds to wait for the window specified in attach
statements to appear/load. This should be exactly what you are asking
for.

Paul, Mark, Anyone: Lemme know happens if you try this out. Does it
solve your problem?

(There is a lot of great stuff in development, which is why i'm eager
to stabilize the code base and make a new release.)

Michael,

Do the same sequence in IRB, and once you have a Watir::IE object
attached to that browser, type "ie.title". You'll see first-hand that
your conclusion is right :)

The title is actually the HTML Title, rather than the window title.
Different browsers render the window title somewhat differently.

For example, browser.title would be the same whether browser was an IE
or Firefox browser.

Subject: [Wtr-general] How do you attach to a Tab in IE 7?
Message-ID: <37c405480603210806p9e13b4dq@mail.gmail.com>

Is anyone else playing with Internet Explorer 7 (Beta)?

I have a computer set up with Win XP Pro SP2 and Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1,
and I ran one of my scripts to see what would happen.  For the most part,
everything ran as expected except for one thing - instead of opening a link
in a new browser window, it opened it in a new tab.  (Tabbed browsing is one
of the new features of IE7.)

I couldn't figure out how to switch to that tab in IE7 via Ruby/Watir.  To
illustrate, here's what I tried: in IE7 I had the first tab displaying our
web application's Home page, and in a second tab I had the Google page up.
I clicked on the first tab and noticed that the window title bar switched to
show my app's Title.

I opened up IRB in a new command prompt and tried: ie = IE.attach(:title,
'Google')

--> It just sort of hangs until I manually click on the right tab in the
browser.  *Then* control returns to IRB.

I don't know if this is on anybody's radar yet.  It's not a part of my
application or an immediate need.  I'm just curious to know if anyone
working on Watir has played with this yet.

Do you think perhaps we can add a new command like: IE.tab(:title, /blah/)
or would it be better to enhance IE.attach to sift through the tabs in
addition to any other open browser windows?  (Because we might not know if
it's in a new tab or window depending on the user's browser settings.)

Cheers.  Paul.

(In the meanwhile, I just enabled the IE7 option: Tools > Intenet Options >
Advanced > "Tabbed Browsing > Always open pop-ups in a new window" and all's
good.)

I like the idea of the IE#tab command and if someone writes it, we'll
consider committing it.

I'm reluctant to change the semantics of IE.attach as you suggest. For
one, IE#tab would be an instance method and IE#attach is a class
method.

But this discussion is academic until someone figures out how to
access tabs at all.

It may be related but I have been seeing this since I put your

but gives this error:

      from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2258:in `click'

      from (eval):1

 

The script continues and completes without further error.  

 

By the way, $ie.button("...").ole_object.click did not I get this error:

Does anyone know why these errors are being thrown?

Replace this code:

  $ie.button("...").click

With this:

  $ie.button("...").ole_object.click

The problem is that the normal click method has in implicit "wait" and
this is failing because it is polling the browser to see if it is still
loading a page when the browser disappears (which in your case is
correct). 

This workaround does a click without a wait. Watir 1.5 has a new
click_no_wait method which also should be able to handle this situation.

This in any case a bug. Feel free to post it to Jira if you'd like to
see a fix.

I am getting the following error when the window I have attached to

I can't send the web page due to proprietary and confidential

a new window (the one I am attaching to) and once a name is selected
clicking the button closes the window and transfers the selected name to

Hmm. I would say this is a bug in click_no_wait. The reality is that
the current implementation still calls the wait code, but
asynchronously, so it immediately passes control to the next command.
Usually this is harmless, but this is a clear example demonstrating
that this needs more work. Would you mind opening a Jira issue for
this?

Try this instead.

  button = $ie.button(...)
  button.locate
  button.ole_object.click

This should also work, but i won't be surprised if it doesn't:

  $ie.button(...).locate.ole_object.click

Thank you for trying my suggestions and reporting these problems.

This is a timing problem in IE#attach. It is fixed in development. See
the recent email discussion regarding IE.attach_timeout.

Hello there.  I'm just curious.. should the extra space and dash be at the
end of the title name?  Is this the full title or just a part of it?

Does it work if you try either of the following:

> $ie1 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "C2P")

or

> $ie1 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /C2P/)

Oops.

Put the include statement before the "def" instead of inside it.

Hi Bret and anybody else hacking on the Watir library,

What's the status on Watir 1.5?

The changes I've heard about include effective ways of handling popups
(confirm, alert, modal web dialogs, save-as) and more consistent
returning of Watir wrappers rather than straight WIN32OLE handles, and
I'm looking forward to the future.

Do you have a time-frame in mind for a release?

If I go to RubyForge and download stuff from CVS, should I expect
problems with any particular areas?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,

First of all, you can look at the CVS code, but it would be better to
look at our code on SVN (at openqa.org) or even just look at the
versions that i posted to wiki.openqa.org the other day. They are both
more current.

The support for windows popups, however, is not really ready for
testing yet. (The support for modal web popups, however, is 98%
complete.)

All the core-tests work, so the core code is stable. I've frequently
pointed people to this build when they have found bugs in 1.4.1 that
are fixed in dev and they usually come back satisfied.

We've just started final regression testing on our main product at
work, for the first release in six months, so that is probably going
to be taking most of my energy for the next few weeks.

I am in the process of moving the roadmap to jira, so we have an
online map of what needs to be done to complete the release.

Since moving the code to OpenQA, there are a lot of loose ends to tie
up to explain what is going on. If you see one, it would help a lot if
you could tie it off for us.

The more help i get with the FAQ and the website, etc, the more time i
have to write ruby code.

Bret

Hi Bret,

Thanks for your complete and helpful answer. I'll probably grab the dev code 
when I get a chance.

Are these "loose ends" the same thing as "the FAQ and the website, etc"? Or are 
they inconsistencies in Watir 1.5's object model? Or something else entirely?

How can I help with the FAQ and the website, etc.?

Cheers,

I'll try to run these test on some other machine & let you know if there are
any failures. One thing that you can check is that your Firefox settings for
opening new window. Don't open new window in a tab. Make the settings to
open new window in new window.

I think it is my mistake. My Firefox opens new windows in new tab, and I
think there is some pop-up blocker hiding.

Hello Everybody,

 

First i will introduce myself, my name is Rodrigo and i'm a new user of
Watir/Ruby, from Argentina.

I'm very excited and amazed with this, it seems that i've finally find
home (i was using TestComplete

and VbScript as tools for Web Testing). 

 

I have some questions, regarding finding Browser's Objects.

 

1) Can i find ALL the objects loadead in the browser, searching them by
their classname [or any other propertie]? Is there a function or method 

   that do this?

   

 P.S., i need to find all the objects loaded in the browser which has
the value "error" in their classname propertie.

 

 I've read something about the GetObject method, but it alerts me that
is used Internally by Watir and shouldn't be used

externally.

 

 

Thanks in Advance, i'm really glad of being part of this community!

 

 

Regards

Rodrigo J. Martin.

Good to meet you.

If you open the file "watir.rb" in the directory "C:\watir" in an
editor and do a text string search for "def show", you'll find all of
the methods that expose various aspects of the page Watir has open. 
These were intended to be used from IRB, but they work in a script,
too.

We've recently been discussing improving the "show_all_objects" method
to lend itself more to what you want to do.  Right now, I suggest you
explore the "show" methods that exist, and then ask more questions if
you need to.

Welcome to Watir...

We have both of course, but i was speaking of the lack of pointers on
the new website about what we are doing.

You could write the "How to Help" page on the website that i've been
collecting notes for! Just kidding. I need to post this, but it helps
to motivate me to know that people will help out. Thanks.

Message-ID: <A0CC17E6F0735B4E95C33832ECCD6763227071@enratio-sv03.enratio.com.ar>

Hi,

 

I've recently installed the FireWatir, apparently without any problem.

But, when I try to run the mozilla_all_tests.rb, I receive this error
message:

 

C:/Program Files/Watir/mozilla_unittests/mozilla_all_tests.rb:1: syntax
error

<html> <head>

 ^

C:/Program Files/Watir/mozilla_unittests/mozilla_all_tests.rb:10: syntax
error

    <title>FishEye: history
watir/branches/firefox/mozilla_unittests/mozilla_all

_tests.rb</title>

                   ^

 

Am I doing something wrong?

I've installed the JSSH extension, throw the telnet sentence and
everything looks fine.

Also I've started Firefox manually (with the -jssh parameter, and no
double dash =P)

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Oh, and one final question... with this extension, could I run old
scripts programmed for Explorer against firefox?

And.. installing this FireWatir, could I still use Watir for Explorer?

 

Thanks for your Patience!

 

Rodrigo Julian Martin.

Thank you, Bret.

I just verified that this is a timing issue, and if it works just fine,
if I give it some more time...

I saw the discussion of IE::attach_timeout. Can I use this fix from
development somehow with the version of water I am using, or I need to
wait for another release? If I need to wait, what can I do meanwhile.
(Sorry, if my questions are silly, I am new to water and this list...)

Galina.

This is a timing problem in IE#attach. It is fixed in development. See

Subject: [Wtr-general] OT: Line Order in Scripts and Writing File Output
Message-ID: <37c405480603221315w2294664ds@mail.gmail.com>

Hi there, please forgive the Off-Topic question.  Let me know if I should
try another forum or resource (and which ones they are).

I'm trying to refactor one set of Watir scripts into separate files so that
it is more like the setup used in the UnitTests and I seem to be having some
difficulty figuring out the right order of things.  Maybe it's just the
choice of my files that's hanging me up, but it's what I'm working with so
I'd like to see if I can figure it out.  Also, I imagine that there might be
a better way of doing this, but this is my first complete set of Ruby/Watir
scripts so bear with me if the setup seems inefficient or incorrect in some
way.  (All feedback appreciated.)

Background:
- I have 4 Performance scripts that walk through the site maps for 4
different apps.
- Each script is currently independent and does the following things:
(a) opens up two files for writing output: one for the performance
measurements, and one for a separate progress/status report (used for
troubleshooting in case something goes wrong).
(b) walks through each page in the site map and records the (i) page size
and (ii) download time.
(c) closes the two files and the web browser.

-> These scripts all work as expected when run individually.


FIRST PROBLEM (with hack workaround):

- The last step above (c) was interesting, because it took me a while to
figure out how to close the files as the *last* step in the test run.
- To do this, I put all of the setup and tests into the first class ( e.g.
"class TC_BD01") and the 'close open files' step into a second class (e.g.
"class TC_BD02").  I couldn't figure out any other way to ensure that this
was performed in the correct order.  On the downside, I have an extra
unwanted Class with an unwanted TestCase that all it does is close some
files and close the web browser.
- As an example, here is the output of the test file that helped me work out
this line/class/test order problem (the general structure is the same as my
real script, except all the code has just been replaced with a simple 'puts'
line):
-----
>ruby BD_site_map_tests.rb
** TC_BD01_site_map_walkthru **
Loaded suite BD_site_map_tests
Started
] TC_BD1 > test_a_Public_Pages
]=> TC_BD1 *teardown*
.] TC_BD1 > test_b_First_Time_login
]=> TC_BD1 *teardown*
.] TC_BD1 > test_c_Main_Menu
]=> TC_BD1 *teardown*
.
] TC_BD2 > test_wrap_up
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
.
Finished in 0.0 seconds.

4 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
>Exit code: 0
-----

=> So it kind of bugs me that it reports "4 tests" when really there are 3
tests and 1 'wrap_up' routine, but I can live with that (for now) because it
works.  In the long term I'd like to figure out how to solve this problem
with the extra empty test cases.


SECOND PROBLEM (working with the new integrated script suite):

- I stripped out all the constant declarations and custom methods into
separate files. (Thanks for the help with this Bret and Sean G.)
- I created a master script file that has all the 'require' and 'include'
statements and then calls the individual scripts one at a time.
=> What I've noticed is that Ruby (1) scans through *all* of the scripts,
(2) groups all of the [non test case lines] and [test cases] and then (3)
runs them in that group order.  I think it's really whacked, but that's what
I've seen.

- Here's my Script_Order_TestSuite.rb file:
-----
require 'common'

# The Tests:
puts '-= Wrapper A - BEFORE =-'
  require 'BD_shell_tests'
puts '-= Wrapper A - AFTER =-'
puts ''

puts '-= Wrapper B - BEFORE =-'
  require 'SD_shell_tests'
puts '-= Wrapper B - AFTER =-'
puts ''

# End
-----

And here's the output:
-----
>ruby Script_Order_TestSuite.rb
-= Wrapper A - BEFORE =-
** TC_BD01_site_map_walkthru **
-= Wrapper A - AFTER =-

-= Wrapper B - BEFORE =-
** TC_SD01_site_map_walkthru **
-= Wrapper B - AFTER =-

Loaded suite Script_Order_TestSuite
Started
] TC_BD1 > test_a_Public_Pages
]=> TC_BD1 *teardown*
.] TC_BD1 > test_b_First_Time_login
]=> TC_BD1 *teardown*
.] TC_BD1 > test_c_Main_Menu
]=> TC_BD1 *teardown*
.
] TC_BD2 > test_wrap_up
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
.] TC_SD1 > test_a_Public_Pages
]=> TC_SD1 *teardown*
.] TC_SD1 > test_b_First_Time_login
]=> TC_SD1 *teardown*
.] TC_SD1 > test_c_Main_Menu
]=> TC_SD1 *teardown*
.] TC_SD1 > test_d_Admin_Pages
]=> TC_SD1 *teardown*
.
] TC_SD2 > test_wrap_up
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
.
Finished in 0.0 seconds.

9 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
>Exit code: 0
-----

=> What I was *expecting* was that the master script would do the "Wrapper #
- Before" stuff *prior* to running the test cases in the called script, and
*then* perform the "Wrapper # - After" stuff when that called script was
complete.  But that's not what happens.


MY QUESTION(S):

- Given : Ruby will always pool *all* the TestCases together and run them as
a set/suite in ascending order by class and then by TestCase.  So I need to
rethink how the output files are opened and closed, as well as how the
browsers are opened and closed.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can properly close open files
after each test script/suite run?  (The reason I did this in each script was
so that I could record the script start and end times.  I think I may need
to replace this with variables now if I can't write the output at the actual
script start and stop times.)

Or should I just open all the output files at the start and then close them
at the very end of the master script completion?  If so, what sort of
module/class/whatever structure should I use in my scripts to ensure that
certain steps are run *first* and *last* and hopefully without adding
additional empty Classes and TestCases.

(Aside: I ordered the 2nd edition Pickaxe book and am still waiting for it
to arrive, so I can't look that up for reference just yet.  If applicable,
feel free to reference certain sections within it and I will look it up when
I get it.)

I just can't figure out how to run commands *after* the "suite" of test
cases is complete.  Everything I add always runs *prior* to the suite of
test cases.  I think that both problems above might share a common solution,
but I just don't know what that could be.  Thanks in advance for any useful
suggestions and advice.

Cheers.  Paul.

	content?
Message-ID: <38c139080603221804n2e61ce33g562ea909981d058e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I have the following question-

I would like to capture the entire content of my webpage. I used  following
Screen Capture functionality provided by Watir to capture the window.
>>
  file_name= 'Schedule_List.jpg'
  screen_capture(file_name)
>>

It captured a screenshot of only the *visible portion* of my webpage. My
webpage has a lot of scrollable content and those content are not being
captured by Watir.
I would like to take a screen shot of my entire webpage(both visible not
visible region).

Is it possible using Watir?? Please let me know..Also, I tried other
applications like Fastone,SnagIt for just capturing the scrollable
region(these applications have auto scrolling and screen capturing facility)
but those applications too are not working for my webpage though they work
for other webpages.

Please let me know if Watir can resolve this problem.

Thanks,
Padhmavathy

Yes, you can still use WATiR for Explorer. Old scripts will run against
Firefox with no or some small changes :)

Message-ID: <ee5542e0603230708u56c78af3h2653d694b0c7d1d4@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

We are evaluating the fitness of Watir to automate web based BPM
applications built on PRPC <http://www.pega.com>. We already know that QTP
works fine for it, but I have taken up the task of trying out Watir on PRPC.
Watir works fine when we tried it on our internal applications and I am very
much enthusiastic about it, but I have run into some serious problems while
trying it out for PRPC based apps. I cant go furthur than logging in to the
application.

I get the following error from Watir when it comes to the first screen after
I log into the application.

W, [23-Mar-2006 20:14:42#1432]  WARN -- : frame error in waitdocument

I found from one of the mails in the list archive that this might be because
the frame is served from a different server & it might be a cross-site
scripting limitation.

But in our scenario it is not so. The situation is that in one of the frames
there is no 'src' tag, rather there is an onload function handler which gets
the frame source. The problematic portion is given below:

<frameset id="DESKTOPMAINID" name="DESKTOPMAIN" cols="220,*" frameborder="1"
framespacing="2" onload="framesetscript_initialize()"
onbeforeunload="framesetscript_onbeforeunload()">

We cannot do away with this approach for frames as this is a vendor provided
tool upon which our application has been built and the tool itself generates
the frames so.

Can treat this a defect / deficiency in Watir or do I need to build in a
workaround?

I dont want to be using QTP, please help me!

Message-ID: <dd78cfb30603230744t14e6e018hfdf488fe596fb7e3@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I've fixed the issue with WebRecorder recording leading and trailing spaces
on the innertext of some links.  I hadn't realised Watir strips leading and
trailing spaces and therefore if a link had leading or trailing spaces the
two failed to match up.  WebRecorder now also trims innertext so the two now
match.

Subject: [Wtr-general]  Question about Plans for Watir 2.0 & Find Objects
Message-ID: <A0CC17E6F0735B4E95C33832ECCD6763227112@enratio-sv03.enratio.com.ar>

Hi all, I was reading the Brett Plans for Watir 2.0. And I am wondering
if there is some release date in mind? Or something approximated at
least...

 

Thank you all!

 

 

Ps:  I'm working on a new method for finding objects accordly of their
properties and values (passed as parameters) Someone is doing something
similar? I'm studying the def show... of watir.rb, just as Chris McMahon
suggest me...

 

Regards, Rodrigo Julian Martin

Probably easiest just to use them:

C:\Documents and Settings\cmcmahon>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'watir'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> include Watir
=> Object
irb(main):003:0> ie = IE.attach(:title, /Google/)
......................................................
irb(main):007:0> ie.show_frames
there are 0 frames
=> 0..-1
irb(main):008:0>
.....................................
irb(main):008:0> ie.show_forms
There are 1 forms
Form name: f
       id:
   method: get
   action: /search
=> 0..0
irb(main):009:0>
................................................
irb(main):009:0> ie.show_images
image: name:
         id:
        src:
      index: 1
image: name:
         id:
        src: http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif
      index: 2

..................................
etc. etc.

There is no date in mind. However, you can take a look at the firefox
branch of Watir and try it out.

The watir code in development (in subversion) supports this.

E.g. ie.div(:text, "foo") will attach to the div whose text property
is "foo". This is code is general and supports all objects (except
maybe frames) and all attribute/properties.

Bret,

Here is a better example of what I'm doing. In the code below I created
a class with a method that makes a call to method in another class. I
want to make assertions in test_myTestCase. If I uncomment the assertion
in test_myTestCase, I get an error. How can I assert in the called
method?

If I do this, the program runs:

require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'

class TC_MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_myMethod 
    puts 'test 1'
      assert(true, 'test 1')
    @test = TC_MyClass.new()
    @test_new = @test.test_myTestCase
  end    
End

class TC_MyClass 
  def initialize 
  end
  def test_myTestCase
    puts 'test 2'
      #assert(true, 'test 2')
    puts 'test 3'
    puts 'test 4'
  end  
end  

If I do this, the program gives me errors:

class TC_MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_myMethod 
    puts 'test 1'
      assert(true, 'test 1')
    @test = TC_MyClass.new()
    @test_new = @test.test_myTestCase
  end    
End

class TC_MyClass < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def initialize 
  end
  def test_myTestCase
    puts 'test 2'
      assert(true, 'test 2')
    puts 'test 3'
    puts 'test 4'
  end  
end

David,

That error message indicates that $ie is nil, which is to say, it hasn't
been initialized. It needs to be assigned in the test_* method or the
initialize method. (Or you need to get fancy, which is what we do in our
unit tests.)

You said that you are trying to structure your test scripts. I suggest
you do this in smaller steps. First just put the common code in a
separate method (not called test*) in the same class. Then move it
outside the class. And only then move it to a new file. There are small
gotcha's with each step, so it's worth taking these small steps until
you understand the source of each of them.

You should obtain the latest version from our wiki page, not from SVN.
(If you want an installer that works.)

If you want to see our firefox support, you'll need to go to the fire
fox branch in SVN and do a manual install.

Marcus,

Thanks for fixing this problem. I did not realize this was a
webrecorder bug. These problems have repeatedly been reported to this
mailing list, and people have most frequently been blaming the email
systems for adding the extra spaces.

We are getting many requests for support for the webrecorder. Like
these, they often come as "the recorder works, but watir doesn't". Of
course they really have no way of knowing where the problem is. How do
you suggest we handle supporting these users? In many cases they have
less technical background or understanding than had Watir users
heretofor.

Also, many of the webrecorder users have run into a problem when they
have a page with only one form. The webrecorder always includes the
"form()" method, but we had designed this specifically for the case
where there was more than one form. We've recently learned that in the
case with only one form, the Watir form method actually fails. This
bug is fixed in development, but is open in 1.4.1.

How do you propose to get this information to your users? Your welcome
to use a page (or more) on our wiki, if that seems helpful.

Frankly, we need to find a better method for supporting the recorder
users. I've been considering refusing to support them on this list
because of the burden.

Marcus,

Thanks for fixing this problem. I did not realize this was a
webrecorder bug. These problems have repeatedly been reported to this
mailing list, and people have most frequently been blaming the email
systems for adding the extra spaces.

We are getting many requests for support for the webrecorder. Like
these, they often come as "the recorder works, but watir doesn't". Of
course they really have no way of knowing where the problem is. How do
you suggest we handle supporting these users? In many cases they have
less technical background or understanding than had Watir users
heretofor.

Also, many of the webrecorder users have run into a problem when they
have a page with only one form. The webrecorder always includes the
"form()" method, but we had designed this specifically for the case
where there was more than one form. We've recently learned that in the
case with only one form, the Watir form method actually fails. This
bug is fixed in development, but is open in 1.4.1.

How do you propose to get this information to your users? Your welcome
to use a page (or more) on our wiki, if that seems helpful.

Frankly, we need to find a better method for supporting the recorder
users. I've been considering refusing to support them on this list
because of the burden.

Message-ID: <36296e3f83bbff1b8b31fc48f5513a0344230974@uptimesoftware.com>

I've got a situation where I have a the main window of an application that
pops up a new window using a JavaScript call on the click of a form button.
 
The title of this new window varies from time to time with what I'm testing,
so I'm not able to just attach to the title of the window.  The url is also
different, so that option is out too.
 
Is there a way to get a handle for "the most recently opened window" or
something of the like?
 
Thanks very much

Hi,

I've been keeping a close eye on this list but apart from the forms issue,
which I raised myself, and one posting that brought the spaces thing to my
attention, I wasn't aware of any extra support issues directly related to
webrecorder or anything to the effect of "the recorder works, but watir
doesn't" as you have suggested.  Had I seen anything like that I would have
jumped right in, I can assure you.

In regards to the forms issue - I raised that myself in reference to
WebRecorder, yes, but didn't necessarily expect you to have to change
anything in Watir.  An alternative approach would have been that I could
have changed WebRecorder to not insert the form() reference if it found only
one form on the page.  I just needed to know how it was meant to work.

I did not provide this version of WebRecorder in order to create any extra
burden for you, and I am sorry if you feel that is all it has achieved.  I'm
not aware that it has in fact directly contributed to any extra support
requests, but I suppose as a product grows in popularity, as Watir clearly
is doing, and whether or not WebRecorder is in some way responsible for
that, the support burden will increase as more and more people get to know
about it, many of whom will be less technical than the earlier adopters.
That's almost a fact of life - a side effect of success.

I have made it quite clear when running WebRecorder and on the WebRecorder
web page that knowledge of Watir and Ruby is essential and that any problems
with recording are not indicative of any problem in Watir.  But if you think
WebRecorder is causing you undue burden then clearly we must do something
about it.

One thing that I think would benefit this mailing list, for a number of
reasons, would be a weekly FAQ posting.  By posting this regularly it will
keep people aware of it and new subscribers would always see it.  This could
explain how best to post questions, how (not) to report bugs, where to find
answers, how to download the latest version .. etc.  This should help keep
the quality of postings high and remove some repetition.  This could also
address WebRecorder in some way - something to the effect of - if you get a
problem with a WebRecorder script don't post to the general Watir group
until you've understood what it is doing and/or emailed Marcus, or, if we
had a WebRecorder list it, you've posted there first.

Ultimately, if WebRecorder is causing too big a nuisance for everyone then I
could simply withdraw it altogether.  I would be interested to hear what
people feel about that.  Is it useful?  Is it bringing new users to Watir?
If so, is that a good thing or a bad thing?  Or is webrecorder just a
complete waste of time?  Happy to consider its future based on the
feedback.  I'm open to ideas.

Marcus

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to capture a screen shot of scrollable webpage?
Message-ID: <38c139080603231305j62e8d0e0h4d0b63724b493fc7@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I have the following question-

I would like to capture the entire content of my webpage. I used  following
Screen Capture functionality provided by Watir to capture the window.
>>
 file_name= 'Schedule_List.jpg'
 screen_capture(file_name)
>>

It captured a screenshot of only the *visible portion* of my webpage. My
webpage has a lot of scrollable content and those content are not being
captured by Watir.
I would like to take a screen shot of my entire webpage(both visible not
visible region).

Is it possible using Watir?? Please let me know..Also, I tried other
applications like Fastone,SnagIt for just capturing the scrollable
region(these applications have auto scrolling and screen capturing facility)
but those applications too are not working for my webpage though they work
for other webpages.

Please let me know if Watir can resolve this problem.

Thanks,
Padhmavathy

Thanks Bret for your help.

I added following two lines to my code in my include section, which is at
the begin of my main program:

    require 'test/unit/assertions'
    include Test::Unit::Assertions

This solved all my assert problems in my code.

Oops.

Put the include statement before the "def" instead of inside it.

I think it is very usefull tool. I have in fact already used it. I think it should have its own maling list.
 
By the way I consider indicating what form for every form actions a good practice.

Hi all

 

Thanks Brett, I've downloaded now the Watir 1.5.0 from the Wiki Page...

Then I manually installed FireWatir as the guide suggests...

 

 

When I try to run mozilla_all_tests it keeps showing me these error
messages:

 

C:\Program Files\Watir\mozilla_unittests>mozilla_all_tests

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:483:in `initialize':

        from C:/Program

Sorry for this, I feel bad because I'm overloading the list with this
stuff... 

One question, the watir.rb that is in the package of Firewatir is 54Kb,
and the watir.rb of the Watir 1.5 is 144Kb. What I do is overwriting the
file... but, is this ok? Only 54Kb? 

 

Again, thanks for your patience...

Regards

 

Rodrigo Julian Martin

Message-ID: <38c139080603231700p58c934f5w8d35487cb00cd7be@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have 2 questions.

(1) I would like to send the results of my test suite to a .txt file and
also want the results to be seen on the console. How do I do that?
I know that I can use the following command in the command prompt-
function1.rb > results.txt

But I want something more like,the program itself directing its each output
to both the console and the results.txt file.
I tried f.syswrite but that seems inefficient as I have to use f.syswrite at
all places I use puts statement. Is there a better way to do this?

(2) I would like to click on a webpage -not on a button,or image, just on
the page. Is there any command that clicks on the page?
$IE0.form(:name,"").click doesn't help

Can anyone please help?

Thanks,
Padhma

If it's safe to assume that the only two browser windows open will be
the parent window and the popup window, then the following example
might work for you.  There may be a more graceful way to do this, but
this seemed to work when I tested it out.  Also, if more than two
windows are open, then it will probably not do the right thing,
either. :)  In that case it may match the wrong window.

The technique of using the regexp "//" to loop through all browsers is
from an example for closing all open browsers that someone posted to
the list a while ago.

== BEGIN CODE SNIPPET ==
unwantedTitle = ie.title  # assumes 'ie' contains your parent browser.

done = 'unknown'

while (done != 'yes')
        # Start looping through all open browsers.
        begin
                header = Regexp.new(//)
                tempIE = IE.attach(:title, header)
	# The first time the temp IE title does not match the parent's title,
	# assume we're done and bail out of the loop, saving the match in 'ie2'
                if (tempIE.title != unwantedTitle)
                        ie2 = tempIE
                        done = 'yes'
                end
        rescue NoMatchingWindowFoundException
                # If we didn't find a match, just leave the loop.
                done = 'yes'
        end
end

p ie2.title # to check what browser was matched
== END CODE SNIPPET ==

Bret,

I was also looking at the 2.0 plan that you laid out on 5/27/2005, and I 
didn't see a mention of being able to specify elements using multiple 
attribute/value pairs.  I have seen you mention, however, that you were 
considering merging (some? all?) WET functionality into WATIR.

What do you see here, if anything?

For FireWatir, I have splitted the code of 'watir.rb' file into different
files so that much of the code can be re-used.

Not sure of a way to do your question (2).  However, as for question
(1) I was sort of able to split output from running a suite to $stdout
and a file, by passing an io handle into TestRunner.new(), then using
<< to send the test run output to $stdout as shown in this example:

====================================================
require 'test/unit/testsuite'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'

outputFileName = 'suite.log'
outputFileHandle = File.new(outputFileName, "w+")

...require test cases and create suite here...

# create new runner and start suite:
$stdout << Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.new(TS_MyTests,
output_level=2, io=outputFileHandle).start
====================================================

However, while this puts all the runner output into 'suite.log', only
the final summary line (with the number of
tests/assertions/failures/errors) is displayed on the console.  So
what I currently do in this case is just 'tail -f suite.log' using
Cygwin's tail util to get up-to-the-minute status as the suite runs.
:)

However, I'm sure there's some way to direct the script to send all
the output to $stdout as well as the suite logfile.  I just haven't
run across it so far...

Thanks
Bill

I do not use Webrecorder for scripting my test cases, but I planned to use

The key to avoiding misunderstanding is
remembering that variables and objects are *different kinds of
things*. The name of a thing is not the thing itself. This is best
illustrated by pictures. I just drew some pictures that explain what
was happening in your example. (I simplified to make it just one
each, since the nested eaches don't have anything to do with the
problem you had.) They are here:
< http://www.testing.com/review-copies/variables.pdf>
I'm rather pleased with them, plus I stayed up way too late to make
them, so you all have to look at them.

I gather there is no way you can just use a reguler expression to
match the title?  What is the form of it's title and how does it vary?

Cheers,
Daniel.

We need to understand a bit more about what it is you are trying to
accomplish here.  Do you want to click the page so that you can bring the
window to the forefront?  If so, have you tried: IE.bring_to_front()

If you haven't done so already, you might want to check out the various
methods listed in the "Watir API Reference" for "Watir::IE".  You may find
something in there that is what you are looking for.  Otherwise, you don't
need to click the web page just to interact with it.  Once you 'attach' to
it, you can work with any object on the page.

Hope that helps.  Paul.

Bill, et al.

Thanks very much for the help, this is what I ended up with.

--code--
  def get_window_not_named(title)
    loop do
      begin
        window = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
        return window if window.title != title
      rescue Watir::NoMatchingWindowFoundException
        break
      end
    end
    return nil
  end
--code--

If it's safe to assume that the only two browser windows open will be
the parent window and the popup window, then the following example
might work for you.  There may be a more graceful way to do this, but
this seemed to work when I tested it out.  Also, if more than two
windows are open, then it will probably not do the right thing,
either. :)  In that case it may match the wrong window.

The technique of using the regexp "//" to loop through all browsers is
from an example for closing all open browsers that someone posted to
the list a while ago.

Using cygwin, this will give you what you want:
  function1.rb | tee results.txt

We have had many people send problem scripts and the problem was that
there were extra spaces. This is the problem you just sent mail about
fixing. This was the first i'd heard that this frequently discussed
problem was actually a webrecorder bug and not an emailer issue, as
had been frequently suggested. I didn't see you jumping in on these
problems.

Watir 1.4.1 has a bug when using form() and there is only one form.
This bug is fixed in development. I don't recall you reporting this
bug. This came from users of WebRecorder.

I could probably release 1.4.2 with this fix. It's a one-line change.
It's going to be a while before 1.5  becomes generally released and
supported. Or you could update WebRecorder to work around this bug.
What do you suggest?

This is complete bull. You are either not actually following the list
or you are completely deluded.

I think there is agreement that there needs to be separate list to
support web recorder users.

I agree that we need more work in this area.

My suggestion is that you make WebRecorder open source and add unit
tests to it. And create a separate mailing list to support these
people.

I was at Segue when they added a recorder to QA Partner. Originally
the people calling for tech support were pretty savvy and they talked
to knowledgeable people right away. But with time they had to create a
new tier of tech support just to deal with the recorder people. By
then i had left Segue, but was still using their tools. It was
frustrating for me because when i called in i had to work my way
through a layer of staff who knew less about the tool than me, but who
were convinced that i was just a stupid user (because 90% of their
users were in fact stupid users).

Widespread use of recorders for Watir will also force us to create a
tiered community.

Take a look at this plan for 1.5. http://wtr.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?RoadMap

This plan is still a good description of our intentions. The main
thing missing is that we also have xpath support in 1.5.

Much of this is already implemented in development.

Just one think that I may want to say about the use of Webrecorder.
One of the things it does is shows the Ruby code created as you are using the 
browser. This for changes the nature of the tool. 

I used webrecorder to get snips of code when I was unsure. Once I had those I modified them by adding variables 
and putting them in a loop. 

For me that is very different from the Seque recorder which (I hope I'm not presumptuous here)  was marketed 
as a replacement for coding rather than an adjunct. 


Cheers

As i've said before, questions about Ruby in the context of testing
are always welcome here.

All of your questions really amount to Test::Unit questions, and the
answer is that you need to learn about this Ruby library. I can give a
very brief summary.

Test::Unit has a set of default behaviors. What you are saying is that
you want to change these. In some ways you've found ugly hacks to make
it work the way you want. In other cases you haven't. But it is
designed to be very configurable and can in fact be configured to do
exactly what you want.

Specifically, you don't want to use the default test suite nor the
default test runner. You want to create these yourselves. You'll need
to check out the documentation and code for Test::Unit from here.

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/test/unit/rdoc/index.html

If you have more questions on this, also consider posting to
comp.lang.ruby. That's where i post my Test::Unit questions (when i
don't send them to Nathaniel directly).

Thanks.  That clears up some things.

I did not see mention that one would be able to specify an element by 
multiple attribute/value pairs, so I'm assuming that will not be in 1.5.

That sounds right. I've actually heard little demand for it, except
for the case of radio lists (where we have a workaround).

You can always put it on Jira and see how many votes it gets.

I recall one email about that.  I wasn't aware that it was frequently
discussed.  I have been following the list.  Someone emailed me about the
spaces and I looked into it and fixed it.  I perhaps should have gone back
over the list and replied to specific posts.  I really am sorry if I missed
it earlier.

Watir 1.4.1 has a bug when using form() and there is only one form.

I sent an email to the list on March 3rd entitled "problem enumerating
forms" in which I asked about this issue.  You replied on Mar 15 that you
had committed a fix to SVN.

I could probably release 1.4.2 with this fix. It's a one-line change.

It is easy enough to update WR so I will do that.

I am not deluded.  I don't particularly like your tone one bit!  I read all
the posts to the list every day.  I am offering my opinion of what can
happen as a product grows in use and reaches a wider audience.  You are
entitled to feel that my opinion is BS of course, but do you have to be so
rude?

I'll look into that - it is based on proprietary code in a commercial
product so I'd have to find out if that is possible.  Until then I will
remove Watir WebRecorder from our site.  I don't like to feel I am causing a
nuisance.  That was never my intention.  I only was impressed with Watir and
felt a Watir version of WebRecorder could be a useful complement.  Perhaps I
am wrong.

I don't believe it should have to.  I believe they have their place.   But
it's clear we won't agree on that :-/

On Mar 15 you said: "My script doesn't have the space in - must have
happened somehow when pasting it into gmail."

On Mar 10, Tanushree reported a script with an extra space in it. He
was using the web recorder. Zeljko responded to his email pointing out
this problem. I did not see you "jump right in."

On Feb 23, Saud Aziz had a problem with extra spaces in his script. It
was also blamed on gmail. It's not clear whether he was using the
WebRecorder.

After reviewing the email records, it occurs to me that there is
actually a possibility that there are two extra space bugs -- one in
gmail and one in WebRecorder. On the other hand, i don't recall seeing
this extra space problem show up on this list at all before
WebRecorder was released. I really don't know.

It would have been of service to the open-source community that is
supporting your commercial product to if you had acknowledged your
extra-space bug when you became aware of it. It would also be helpful
if you would help us understand the degree to which this common
problem has been due to the WebRecorder.

I am completely in agreement with Bret when it comes to recorders for testing,
but I do agree with Marcus that this statement was a bit over the top. If Marcus
wants to write and maintain a recorder, and there is a mailing list and
community of practice around it, that is cool with me. I don?t really want to
support the recorded scripts either, but this was harsh.

There is an issue with recorders for testing. Different people have
different views, and i think that it is fair for people to challenge
my views in this area. A completely separate issue concerns the
relationship between commercial tools and open-source communities.

It was in response to my suggestion that we consider stop providing
support for recorder users on this list, and that a new list be
created, that he made statements that i claim are bull. Specifically:

"I'm not aware that it [WebRecorder] has in fact directly contributed
to any extra support requests..."

I say this is bull because it meets the definition of bull: it is
false, it is knowingly false, and it is declared with the expectation
that it will be heard as false. (This is the definition from "On
Bullshit" by Harry Frankfort.)

1. It is false. In Marcus's own email, it elsewhere acknowledged that
he'd made a support request and that he knew of one other request. A
simple google search of the archives will uncover more.

2. It is knowingly false. Since he acknowledges these support requests
elsewhere in his email, it is clear that he knows it is false.

3. He knows that we will read it as false. This is harder to prove,
but if you look at the rhetorical sweep of the paragraph it is found
in, you will see that he is both trying to deny that these support
requests exist, but also and at the same time, suggest that they are
an inseparable part of success. Reread the paragraph and judge for
yourself.

Several people in this community have made it clear that we don't want
to support recorder users. It was this sentiment that lead to Marcus's
rhetorical bull.

Is this harsh? Is it harsh to call a liar a liar? I decided to call it
what it was. ("Bullshit" is the current vernacular, but the original
term is "bull." I used the older term specifically to avoid the
scatalogical emphasis, which would make me more vulnerable to the
charge of being over the top. The only other English word for bull is
"humbug," which is truly obscure.)

Marcus's response has been to take WebRecorder off his website. No one
asked him to do this. We asked him to create a separate list.

But it is important for us to realize that as a commercial tool
vendor, he was always free to do this. It is his right. It's his code.
We can support it, help its users, report bugs in it, make
sugggestions and then he can turn around and decide that he wants to
start charge $100 or $1,000 a copy. Or he can take it offline
completely.

We can't do that. Watir is open-source. It belongs to the community.
No one can take it away. And no one can tell us what to do with it.
Not even me. Suppose that I were totally opposed to FireFox support.
There still would be nothing i could do to stop Angrez from creating
FireWatir. The code is public and there is nothing i could do legally
or morally to stop him, except argue against it.

I hate to say it, but i think it is time for us to discuss creating an
open-source recorder. Actually i'd prefer more of a spy tool, but i
think we need to create something that we can support (possibly on a
separate list) and that supports our vision for what a useful recorder
would be.

My personal view is that a really useful recorder would need to be
tuned for specific applications. You have to use different
identification strategies with different applications and different
controls. You all know this, and much of traffic on this list is
really focussed on helping others learn what the best strategies are
for their applications. A truly useful recorder would be tuned to
understand that a tests for a particular application should use names
for text_fields, but identify dropdowns by their prior text. That's my
view.

Watir has resulted from years of interaction between the vision of a
few of us for what a testing tool should be and frequent and detailed
feedback from many users, many of them completely new to the tool,
about what they expect the tool to do.

I suspect that it was also take years to create a good, usable
open-source recorder that actually teaches users about automation as
it is used instead of letting them think, even for a moment, that they
somehow can be successful without understanding the details.

Where should we start?

I was not using WebRecorder, but rather modified version of WatirMaker by
Scott. And still do every now and then to capture chunks of code that i can
later modify to create more structured and better script. And space(s) never
was or is a problem in that tool. It definately has something to do with
gmail as i was able to make the script work by making small modification to
use "Button" instead of "image" for image buttons per your (Bret)
suggestion.

Scott's Original along with my small modification(s) in seperate directory
along with code is available from:

http://saudaziz.googlepages.com/WatirMaker.zip

You can test it your yourself whether or not it adds extra spaces.

Also i agree with most here that recorders should have their own mailing
list as they have several issues of their own.

Thanks.

My personal view is that a really useful recorder would need to be
tuned for specific applications. You have to use different
identification strategies with different applications and different
controls. You all know this, and much of traffic on this list is
really focussed on helping others learn what the best strategies are
for their applications. A truly useful recorder would be tuned to
understand that a tests for a particular application should use names
for text_fields, but identify dropdowns by their prior text. That's my
view.

Thats exactly what i ran into everytime i tried to record any application
that i was testing with either or the recorders.  Which is why i found this
Scott's free solution much better than Marcus's because i have to constantly
go in and change the behavior (in recorder's code) of some of the elements
to make it record as it should.

Yikes.

I remember, Bret, that you were opposed to the whole recorder concept when I
lower-case-L "launched" WatirMaker a while back. I understood why and I
continue to respect your opinion.

I was opposed to AOL when I was a Compuserve user. Noobs are noobs. Mort is
Mort and not everyone can be an Elvis or an Einstein. There's a few issues
here, IMHO and I think that most folks would agree:

* Watir is easy, but some folks (of all skill levels) like to jump start
with a recorder. These folks should have a tool. Watir shouldn't be
relegated to the literati.
* WatirMaker was written in C# because I'm a Ruby Noob. It's lame and it was
written for me. It's not a good recorder to start with even though Saud and
others have expanded it.
* WatirWebRecorder was a nice thing for MJTNet to release and it's way
better than WatirMaker. I pimped it appropriately and spread the word
because Noobs were suffering and I knew that Watir was the answer. A
recorder was just the "gateway drug" to getting them on the Watir wagon.
* An open source Recorder is a good idea. I respect why Marcus can't release
WatirWebRecorder as OS.
* Michael Kelly (cc'ed) has the framework of a Ruby-based WatirMaker that,
IMHO, is quite clever, and I'd hope he'd give it to the people and the
people would build a recorder around it. Count me in.

All that said, Bret, I respect your ability, your opinions, and your freedom
of speech and right to call "B.S" when you see it, but this whole thread
could have been handled with more grace.

It's a shame that WatirWebRecorder was yanked, but that's Marcus' right as
well. Noobs will lose out in the short term, but hopefully a Ruby-based
Recorder (or several specific variants) will rise quickly to fill the
vacuum.

In conclusion - Michael, can we start with your recorder and make something
useful?

Message-ID: <72799cd70603251707k6d102b59xe3ce268b36da07b1@mail.gmail.com>

Hi...
     I spent a good chunk of the afternoon trying to get
SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(WSDL_URL).createDriver (or some other
likely Ruby library) to accept username/password at runtime, but as
far as I can tell, you can't get there from here.  I even installed
http-access2 trying to manipulate headers, but no dice.

Which is odd, because it's fairly trivial to do in Perl and Java.  In
Perl using SOAP::Lite, it looks like

my $USER = 'user';
my $PASS = 'password';
my $WSDL = 'http://192.168.2.103/soap/wsdl';
my $SOAP = SOAP::Lite -> service($WSDL);

Anyone know how to do basic authentication in Ruby SOAP?

Actually i think this should be able to be done using Watir's new
Xpath support in 1.5.

Message-ID: <ade75c5b0603261931t49674d11k2a05a613ef166874@mail.gmail.com>

This is about the development code.

While looking at the xpath work, i ran into this problem, previously
reported:

But when I tried to run xpath_tests.rb or all_tests.rb I got lots of

This problem actually has nothing to do with xpath.

I tracked down this problem and believe i've fixed it. Here are my notes:

 This fixes a long standing nagging problem -- or at least one
that has been nagging me a lot, although there has been little
public discussion.

The problem showed up either as a delay when successively
running scripts. If you ran one script and then ran another
(as a new ruby process) then the second script would usually
wait about 30 seconds before running. This was really annoying
especially when running short unit tests.

The other way that the problem would show up would be that
a script would get unable to connect to OLE errors on first
running it.

Analysis showed that this problem was coincident with the
fact that there was an iexplore.exe process that was living
for about 30 seconds after a script exited. If you killed
this process manually, then the delayed/failed behavior would
be avoided.

This problem now appears to have been a side effect of a
solution to a similar problem. That problem was that users
would get OLE errors when they ran successive test scripts
(in the same test suite) that closed and opened browsers
(typically one per script).

The solution was to create an additional, hidden browser
that would essentially keep the iexplore process from closing
(which was the source of the OLE errors).

The new solution was to only create this additional, hidden
browser when the @@persist_ole_connection class variable is
true. It is now nil by default. Users that want to open and
close browsers in their scripts will want to set this to true.

Leon,

the support for modal web dialogs works. i plan to clean up some of the
interfaces, but they are operational today. look at
unittests/modal_dialog_test.rb for an example. this is the development
version of 1.5.

Hi,

May be this has been asked many times before, but is there any plans to
support iFrames in Watir?
I could find no such information on the Wiki/mail archive, hence this query
to the list.

I am unable to suggest Watir as the automation tool to my management as it
currently doesn't support iFrames.

Thanks for the reply, but i don't get how can I use that commands for
what I want to do.

 

I will tell you exactly what I'm triying to do.

 

With a script, I load data in a web in order to sign up a user. When I
press the submit button, there are two possibilities:

 

1) All the data is correct. It show's me a confirmation page.

 

or

 

2) Some data is incorrect. Dynamic Objects appears (named Item(...),
where ... is an integer) with the classname: "error" and 

a "value" containing the error text.

 

What i'm trying to do is to store all this dynamic objects into an
object array, in order to analyze them and show some

reports of their values. I was thinking that I could take the code of
watir.rb, specifically from the def show_all_objects and start there.

I'm a new user of watir and also of ruby, but I guess I could do it..
Maybe some of you guys have already done it or is in 

the way to... 

 

I'll post my code when it's done or in progress.

 

Thanks in Advance!

 

Rodrigo Julian Martin.

Watir supports frames and iframes very nicely, and has for some time. 
Nearly 2 years, if I'm counting correctly.

I suggest that you try it yourself.  Look in the 'unittests' folders
for code to handle frames and iframes.

Can you just use the "contains_text" or "match" (on the page or on the
actual html using the "html" method) with a regular expression and
extract text you want to be stored in the array?  I'm pretty new to
ruby and Watir so it might not be suitable for what you are doing.

Cheers,
Daniel.

Thanks a ton for the inputs Chris.

I went through the unit tests & tried to figure where I am going wrong.

Then found that the iFrame in the page does not have a "name" value but do
have an "id" value.
HTML Document     name=               id=newworkdropdown
src=/prweb/PRServlet?pyActivity=PegaSample.GetWorkPoolClass

When I want to access the iFrame's objects like this :
ie.frame(:id, 'newworkdropdown').show_all_objects

Then I get an error like this:
D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2375:in `locate': Unable to locate a
frame with name newworkdropdown  (Watir::Exception::UnknownFrameException)
    from D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2384:in `initialize'
    from (eval):3:in `frame'
    from D:/pmo_wip/FTA/PRPC/open.rb:48

How can I over come this issue? I cannot change the code nor can the
developers. It is a packaged tool (servlets based).

Prem

Hi Prem, can you reference the iFrame using it's *index* number instead?
It's not as pretty as using a name or id, but it should work.  '
ie.show_frames' should show you the index numbers for each of the frames and
iframes on a page.

Paul.

You could use the index of the frame instead:

ie.frame(:index, 1).show_all_objects

You can also read C:\watir\watir.rb.  In there you'll find

# Typical usage:
        #
        #   ie.frame(:index, 1)
        #   ie.frame(:name , 'main_frame')
        #   ie.frame('main_frame')        # in this case, just a name
is supplied

so it looks like right now you can't get to a frame by "id", but you
*can* get there by index.  Maybe that will do the job for you.  
Alternatively, get your developers to put a name on their frame.

In the meantime, you might try to talk someone on the list into adding
frame access by id (Paul?) or tackle it yourself.

I am sorry, I reported a wrong message. My code looks like this:
assert($ie.frame(:id, "leftFrameId").frame(:id, 'newworkdropdown').exists?)
And the error message I get is like this:
NoMethodError: undefined method `invoke' for nil:NilClass
    D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2366:in `locate'
    D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2350:in `locate'
    D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2384:in `initialize'
    (eval):3:in `frame'
    D:/pmo_wip/FTA/PRPC/open.rb:59:in `test_get_iframe'

Is this an iFrames related issue in Watir or am I doing things the wrong
way?

Prem

We actually do currently support :id for frames, but not for iframes. This
is in the development code base.

Sadly, much of that inline documentation (aka rdoc) is out of date.

Watir does not currently support finding iframes by id.

You can't change the code, but you could change Watir to make this work.

Subject: [Wtr-general] possible bug / Shift_jis encoding error
Message-ID: <4428AD2D.6090501@it.fts-vn.com>

Hi,

I think that there may be a bug in Watir with respect to how it handles 
character encodings.  I have a fairly simple test and a test data file 
(in yml format).  In my data file, I have a Shift_jis encoded character 
sequence (I don't read japanese, so I have no idea what it says!).  I 
set my encoding in the script using the jcode library.

When printing to the console (cmd on XP2), I get the correct string of 
characters, however when I use the text_field.set method, the characters 
enetered in the text field in IE are mangeled, they look like UTf8 or 
perhaps CP932, again I'm not a real expert on this.

I've had a fiddle with Iconv to see if I can reproduce the same encoding 
on the command line, but I can't reproduce (I can mangle the characters, 
but not the same output as I'm experiencing in IE).

I can manually copy/paste the data into IE and it's perfectly fine, so 
it's definitely something to do with how watir is handling the data I'm 
passing in to text_field.set

Thanks

I've discovered that there is a difference between set and value= for 
text_fields

@@ie.text_field(:id, 
@test_data['pg_401']['address_1_field']).set(@test_data['pg_401']['address_1'])
This breaks the encoding of the data read from @test_data

@@ie.text_field(:id, 
@test_data['pg_401']['address_1_field']).value=@test_data['pg_401']['address_1']
This preserves the encoding of the data

So my workaround to resolve this is to use value= whenever I have 
shift_jis encoded data and set when I have ascii data.

Just FYI

Thanks
Kev

Hello guys,

I imagine this question has been ask a number of times, but I couldn't 
find any clear references on the Web, so...

How do I automate a click in a context menu (ie. right-click on a page and 
click on a menu item)?

thank you very much.

Best Regards

Leon

Not really Watir, but but definitely web-related:  if you ever need to
poke at some web services in SOAP, I made a little blog entry: 
http://chrismcmahonsblog.blogspot.com/

One of the most interesting things about this exercise was seeing how
primitive Ruby is in this area as compared to Perl (despite what the
Pickaxe says).  It was painless in Perl, it was highly frustrating in
Ruby.  If Ruby didn't have so much other Tester Kidz Goodness, I would
have been tempted to backslide.  :)

	[=not in fxri] ?
Message-ID: <efa68caa0603280158i15ee7109n45bf300cd4d0b5cf@mail.gmail.com>

I've got Ruby and Watir installed,Ruby seems to be recognized in Cygwin as
following :

$ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-cygwin]

When trying to run irb however ,i receive a '/usr/bin/ruby :no such file to
load  --- ubygems (LoadError)'
When running irb in command window the following is received when running
'require 'watir'"

irb(main):001:0> require 'watir'
LoadError: No such file to load -- watir
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in
`re
quire__'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in
`re
quire'
        from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0>

I've searched the mailing list for info on this subject and only found some
reference to the win32ole-0.5.2  in regards to Watir ...

Would appreciate any help on this - I'd rather use Cygwin than windows
commandline,but any one of  them will do as an non-fxri option.

I use Watir with Cygwin successfully, but my setup may differs from yours.

I found out that using Ruby installation for Windows works best than
the Ruby which can be installed via Cygwin.

So my Ruby instalation is at directory d:\ruby\ruby-1.8.4-16, which
becomes /cygdrive/d/ruby/ruby-1.8.4-16 for Cygwin.

I think Ruby 1.8.2 there were some problems with the .cmd extension,
but 1.8.4 version replaces then for .bat extensions and I don't think
I need to create alias like this anymore ~/.bashrc:

alias irb='irb.bat'
alias ri='ri.bat'
etc....

As for executing a Ruby script directly I give up, so instead of
trying "$ ./my_script.rb" I always write "$ ruby ./my_script.rb".

Was that helpful?

Good luck!

Message-ID: <A0CC17E6F0735B4E95C33832ECCD6763227278@enratio-sv03.enratio.com.ar>

Hi all!

 

I'm starting the development of a script for a WebPage. This Unit Test
should run in Explorer and also in Internet Explorer.

 

I'm running FireWatir, and I have a question:

 

1) How should I specify wheter a script will be run against Firefox or
Internet Explorer? If I'm not wrong, in order to

run a script for Firefox, you should run the browser manually with the
"-jssh" parameter. If you start an instance of 

Internet Explorer by code, FireWatir asumes that is for Internet
Explorer? 

 

 Sorry, i'm a little confused as you can see.. 

 

 

 Thanks in Advance!

 Regards

 

 

 Rodrigo Julian Martin.

You can also use tee.exe from the Windows command line.

Check out:

Simply unzip and add usr\local\wbin to your path.

Hi,

You need to create new instance of Firefox instead of IE.

For e.g: If your script is like this:

ie = IE.new
ie.goto("http://google.com/")

Corresponding script for Firefox will look like:
browser = Firefox.new     #You need to create new Firefox instance. Rest
will remain same.
browser.goto("http://google.com")

Regards,
Angrez

Message-ID: <A0CC17E6F0735B4E95C33832ECCD676322729D@enratio-sv03.enratio.com.ar>

Hi Angrez, thanks for the quick reply!

 

I've tried the code:

 

require 'watir'

browser = Firefox.new     #You need to create new Firefox instance. Rest
will remain same.

browser.goto("http://google.com")

 

and when I run it, this was the output:

 

Untitled.rb:2: uninitialized constant Firefox (NameError)

Execution completed with exit code 1.

 

I've installed FireWatir and run all the mozilla_unittests correctly. Am
I doing something wrong?

Also, there's one thing I don't get it... With the mozilla_unittests,
you should start Firefox Manually with the parameter "-jssh". With this
code you gave me, is no more necessary to do that?

 

Thanks for your patience and help

Regards

 

Rodrigo Julian Martin

Hi,

You need to create new instance of Firefox instead of IE.

For e.g: If your script is like this:

ie = IE.new
ie.goto("http://google.com/")

Corresponding script for Firefox will look like:
browser = Firefox.new     #You need to create new Firefox instance. Rest
will remain same.
browser.goto("http://google.com")

Hi all!

 

I'm starting the development of a script for a WebPage. This Unit Test
should run in Explorer and also in Internet Explorer.

 

I'm running FireWatir, and I have a question:

 

1) How should I specify wheter a script will be run against Firefox or
Internet Explorer? If I'm not wrong, in order to

run a script for Firefox, you should run the browser manually with the
"-jssh" parameter. If you start an instance of 

Internet Explorer by code, FireWatir asumes that is for Internet
Explorer? 

 

 Sorry, i'm a little confused as you can see.. 

 

 

 Thanks in Advance!

I've another question... Is there a way to share variables between
several .rb files which are loaded as a Test Suite? e.g. An array which
is loaded in test1.rb and that I want to use in test2.rb.

Hi Rodrigo, 
         Yes you can. I havent treid for an array but am sure you can. I have used global variable with '$' in front of the variable and then use it in other ruby files. I have declared this in the set up file. 
   
  For example 
   
  $Yahoolink="www.yahoo.com"
   
  and I can use "$Yahoolink" in other ruby files 
   
  Thanks!

You could store them in global variables.

The tricky part is making sure that the execute in the order you want them
to.

The standard Test::Unit framework puts together test suites in a somewhat
random order. This is by design, because unit tests should be independent of
each other and not depend on order.

Since you want to break with this convention, you should construct your own
test suite rather than depend on the default methods.

Hi All,

Thanks to all who replied patiently to my question!

Like Sean suggested, teeing works, but I did not want to make cygwin a
mandatory requirement to log the results. Instead I am using the
logger.logfunction..

I think it should solve my requirement of seeing the results in both console
and text file. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Also, I was wondering whether it is possible to get rid of the word 'log'
being seen on the console when I use logger.log function.

Can someone please let me know?

Thanks,
Padhma

=== from a post dt. 08/23/2005 ===
It looks like you have the right object, but it has been heavily customized 
-- as you know. You're probably going to have rewrite the TextField class 
to support this control.

Fundamentally that means doing ie.text_field(:id, 
/elm1/).getObject.ole_methods to see what methods are supported and then 
using trial and error and MS doc to figure out which will help you do what 
you want...

I'd start by removing the focus call.

You want to click a button that is inside a form that is inside a frame?
You will have to be more precise if you want somebody to help you. A piece
of your html would help.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I still get these errors with URL you mention: 

Error: REPORT request failed on '/svn/watir/!svn/vcc/default' Error: REPORT of '/svn/watir/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (http://svn.openqa.org) 
I must be missing something simple. I have a folder on my desktop, and I go to checkout with the URL using SVN: 

http://svn.openqa.org/svn/watir/branches/firefox 

I haven't had trouble checking out other SVN directories in the past.

Hi,

Did you started Firefox with '-jssh' option before running the script? In
the current implementation, creating an object of Firefox class doesn't open
a new instance of Firefox. So you need to manually start Firefox and then
run the script.

Regards,
Angrez

If you are using Windows, I would recommend installing TortiseSVN at:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/.  This is an open source Subersion client
that integrated with windows explorer.  

 

Once that is done, right click on your folder on your desktop (or
wherever) and select TortiseSVN >> Repo-Browser.  

The window that appears will ask for a URL, paste in
http://svn.openqa.org/svn/watir/branches/ and click OK.  

Expland 'branches' by clicking the +.  

Right click on the firefox folder and select checkout.  

Click the '...' button on the Checkout directory line and point it to
your desktop folder (or wherever).  The folder should be empty.  

NOTE you only need to do a checkout the first time you get the files,
after that all you need to do is right click on your local folder and
select TortiseSVN >> Update and any files that have change will be
retrieved.

 

Hope this is helpful,

 

--Mark

	clients." Error
Message-ID: <004d01c6535a$24ba0290$140117ac@piwo>

We are using Watir with RubyFIT another developer wrote some tests which use
XPath and I'm trying get them running on my system.

 

I have ruby 1.8.2 installed from ruby182-15.exe

The version of watir which I started with was installed via gem install
watir

 

Searching through the list's archives it seemed that I needed to get the
current cvs version and run install.rb which I did.

 

The good news is that our tests no longer complain about missing XPath
functions . the bad news is that I am seeing



"The object invoked has disconnected from its clients." 

 

I am able to reproduce the same thing when running the xpath_tests.rb found
in unitTests

 

However if I run the xpath tests one by one I don't see the error.  Anyone
know what is the difference here?

 

These work:

buttons_xpath_test.rb

checkbox_xpath_test.rb

div_xpath_test.rb

filefield_xpath_test.rb

form_xpath_test.rb

images_xpath_test.rb

links_xpath_test.rb

radios_xpath_test.rb

selectbox_xpath_test.rb

tableCell_using_xpath_test.rb

table_xpath_test.rb

textAreafields_xpath_test.rb

textfields_xpath_test.rb

Right click on your local folder and select TortiseSVN >> Settings

Select Network and add your proxy setting and port.  In the exceptions
box put in your domain like (*.rl.gov)

Click OK and see if that works for you.

Hi, 

 

Thanks Angrez, its working!

That's what I've missed. I Thought that using the line "browser = Firefox.new", I didn't need to start the browser manually. 

 

Thank you again!

browser.goto(" http://google.com <http://google.com> ")

Brett,

 

Thanks for uploading the new version but I'm still seeing the same behavior.

I found what is causing the problem.  In setup.rb if you comment out the top
line (#END {$ie.close if $ie; Watir::IE.quit} # close ie at completion of
the tests)

All of the "The object invoked has disconnected from its clients"  messages
disappear.

Message-ID: <DF571A7A-B781-4423-81C5-0C5E4FD50E4F@gmail.com>

Hey everyone,
First, I'd like to say I've very excited to have Watir joining the  
OpenQA community. OpenQA is quickly become a great place for some  
very interesting tools. As you know Selenium covers a wide array of  
programming languages. In addition to the Ruby support from Watir and  
WET, a new Java project called Floyd, and now a Python project that  
tests Windows applications called pyWinAuto. I'm very pleased with  
the diversity of OpenQA and hope it continues!

Part of the migration to OpenQA involves making sure that the  
standard project website at http://www.openqa.org/watir look decent  
and have the correct information. I know that some parts of Watir are  
staying at rubyforge, including the main website itself. However, in  
order for it to be clear which projects are part of the OpenQA  
community and using the various resources, a basic website at OpenQA  
is also required.

I'm looking for volunteers to help put together some very simple. A  
page that just points to the main page is perfectly fine. The bigger  
issue is helping make sure all the standard links in the left hand  
column that are part of the default project template are accurate. I  
know, for example, that the mailing list and forums information is  
wrong. To fix these, some changes are required in trunk/website/ 
meta.xml, as well as potentially some changes in the OpenQA website  
template.

I can take care of the website template, but I need help from you  
guys to guide me. Thanks!

Message-ID: <ade75c5b0603292112n4986f618sb657616ca11a9db9@mail.gmail.com>

Angrez (and other xpath lovers),

Tonight i've found that i've had much better look running the xpath unit
tests out of the install gem than the development source tree. Ultimately, i
tracked down the problem to the fact that i forget to include
watir/rexml/element.rb and watir/rexml/functions.rb in the gem. My
understanding had been that we were supposed to install Rexml 3.1.3 and then
hand copy these over. I recently updated Watir so that it modified the
load_path obviating the need for the hand-copying.

But now it seems that this hand copying is unnecessary. Your doc says we
need Rexml 3.1.4. I thought these two files were what was need to upgrade us
from Rexml 3.1.3 (which is the latest available) to 3.1.4.

I feel like there is something that i must not be understanding correctly.

I wanted to let everyone know how much we've appreciated the new project
support at OpenQA.org. Patrick helped us move to SVN from CVS and he's
provided Jira (for bug/issue tracking) and Confluence (for wiki), which are
really much nicer than what we had at RubyForge.org. We are only starting to
really make use of them.

One of the things that we've wanted to do for a while was make it easier for
people to share code and examples and libraries. Confluence really gives us
the tools we need to make this happen. The Selenium project already has done
this, if you want to see one way of doing this.

Patrick has been sending me little hints for a while that he'd like to see
our website cleaned up at openqa.org. It is mostly empty and has incorrect
information in many places. I could update this myself, but i'd rather focus
on getting Watir 1.5 ready for release. If one or two people would volunteer
to update this website, we would all appreciate it. It would make OpenQA
look more inhabited and make it easier for new people to find our FAQ and
Wiki and learn how get the latest from SVN.

I often get emails saying "how can i help?" Well, this would be a big way to
help.

Message-ID: <880925dd0603300144j2956e444ye2919ff505ed07b5@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

The app I'm testing has lots of Javascript pop-ups. The method used
for clicking them in the dialog_test.rb unit test works in some cases,
as in:

$ie.link( :text, "Delete contact").click_no_wait
# "click OK or cancel" pop-up appears
assert dialog.exists?
dialog.button('OK').click
# "OK" button on pop-up is successfully clicked

But when I try it on a button in a div, as in the following code, I
get an undefined method error.

# the delete button is in a div
$ie.div(:id, 'divXdatat').button(:index,1).click_no_wait
assert dialog.exists?
dialog.button('OK').click

produces:

NoMethodError: undefined method `eval_in_spawned_process' for
#<Watir::Div:0x2bfff00>
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2264:in `click_no_wait'

Does anyone know of a solution or workaround for this? If I change the
'click_no_wait' to a 'click' the pop-up appears but I can't close it.

I've tried Winclicker but it is unreliable.

I'm using Watir version 1.5.0.934.

Thanks for any suggestions,

George

This is a known bug. the click_no_wait method currently only works for
elements which are directly referenced from an IE object.

Subject: [Wtr-general] version 945 Frame div and click
Message-ID: <007801c6541a$5dbe8e10$140117ac@piwo>

Hello,

 

I just upgraded from 1.4.1 to 1.5.0.945 

I'm having problem with this line of code:
@ie2.frame("main").frame("mid").div(:id,"myID").click

 

When I run this code from the 1.4.1 environment it works

In the 1.5.0.945 I get "unable to locate object using id .

 

Is this the same issue as click_no_wait_divs ??

 

Since frame no longer has ie any suggestions on debugging this?

 

-Linda

I have been using Watir from past 1 month, it worked pretty good in
automating of our application.Now , there is a problem testing in one of the
page in our application. The page that I am testing uses AJAX methodalogy .
I am trying to change quantity from x to y and clicking update button on
that page, when it clicks update, it opens up another page with update
quantiy that should not happens it should suppose stay in the same page(
that is the way manually works). The problem here is, even though I get
corrected update new page but control stays in the orgianl page and not able
to move to the next page. Any help would be helpful regarding this.

Thanks & Regards,

Message-ID: <A0CC17E6F0735B4E95C33832ECCD67632273C9@enratio-sv03.enratio.com.ar>

Hi all!

 

I'm trying to get all the objects in a web page using the following
code:

 

require 'watir'

browser=Watir::Firefox.new

browser.goto("http://www.dolarhoy.com")

test=browser.document.all

p test

 

 

With this, test returns as nil. 

Is there any function or something like that to return the same as
document.all in internet explorer?

 

Another question, just, in case, is there any way of getting the html
source code of the page loaded in Firefox

 

 

Thank you so much

Regards

 

 

Rodrigo Julian Martin

I think this is separate from the div click_no_wait problem.

I have a question for the list.

I'm working pretty hard on Watir 1.5 and there is a lot of discussion around
bugs, etc in it.

Would it be better to have a separate list to discuss this effort, so that
wtr-general could focus more on supporting the released code?

I'd read both, so it would make no difference for me, but i'm concerned that
this may be confusing for others.

+1 to create separate mailing lists for watir-users and watir-dev (and maybe
another, watir-announce, for release information, etc).

I also think that wet, recorders, etc should be discussed on other mailing
lists.

Brett,

I'm in the process of changing our code to use xpath.  But right now xpath
doesn't handle frames.  So I'm kind of stuck here.

 

Is there a way to get the information displayed by show_all_objects from a
frame now?

 

I didn't see the method_missing busy part since it was pretty far down,
perhaps that is the real issue. I don't see an IE.busy defined.

 

BTW I checked the following unit tests work fine on my system:
frame_test.rb, buttons_test.rb, buttons_xpath_test.rb

 

test_02_chat_with_user(Chat::TC_chat_test):

Below is the part of  test script code, Let me explain you clearly what was
the issue here.. When I click Update after changing some quatity in one of
the the text fields in the page, it does updates but it opens up another
page but origianl page stays as it was earliar.. When watir testing tool try
to click Next button after Update button, it will try clicking in the
origianl page and it does't work.. When I  do update manually going to page,
it updates the same page, it does't open up new page. To make it long story
short.. how to avoid opening new browser  after clicking update button?, It
should suppose to do update in the same browser and should not open up a new
browser

 startClicker("OK" , 1)
 $ie.text_field(:index,"3").set("5")
 $ie.button(:value, "Update").click
 $ie.button(:value, "Next").click

Can you give us a full error message and stack trace?

I think this is separate from the div click_no_wait problem.

Hello,

 

I just upgraded from 1.4.1 to 1.5.0.945 

I'm having problem with this line of code:
@ie2.frame("main").frame("mid").div(:id,"myID").click

 

When I run this code from the 1.4.1 environment it works

In the 1.5.0.945 I get "unable to locate object using id .

 

Is this the same issue as click_no_wait_divs ??

 

Since frame no longer has ie any suggestions on debugging this?

Hi,

I would like to know if Watir supports double clicks
on a Javascript tree view. For my application,
clicking on the plus is not very reliable and hence
would prefer a double click action to expand contents

Thanks in advance

I guess that double click fires some javascript event. Read here how to do
it: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#FAQ-TriggeringJavaScriptevents

I'm new to Watir and have never used FireWatir, but do you not have to use:

   test = browser.show_all_objects
   p test

I find it useful to experiment using "irb".

Apologies if my advice isn't correct.

Cheers,
Daniel.

Hi,

Try
test = browser.document.body.all;

This is how its currently implemented.

For getting HTML source use:

browser.text()

Sounds great..

But now it seems that this hand copying is unnecessary. Your doc says we

The latest available version of REXML is 3.1.3. This version has some bugs
that were related to XPath support in WATiR. Without fixing these bugs we
were not able to fire the XPath queries correctly. The two files fix bugs
that are related to XPath support in WATiR only. The next version of REXML
i.e. 3.1.4 will contain these fixes as well as other fixes for some other
bugs . So, these two files are just for making XPath work correctly on top
of the current official REXML version, not for upgrading REXML from 3.1.3 to
3.1.4.

I'm  guessing (I haven't tried this yet) that if someone were to install a
development version of REXML later than 3.1.3, this should work out of the
box and no additional files will then need to be used or distributed with
WATiR to get XPath to work.

Regards,
Angrez

Agreed that wtr-announce would be very low band width.  That is the whole
point.  

For people who subscribe to the digest version of wtr-general it's easy for
the announcement messages to be missed due to the high volume (at times).

My 2 cents

first time when I run the test case, it will run fine but if I run second
time by default it logs in automatically but in the test it expects to login
that is where it get fails.Even though, I close the browser by end of each
test still when I run the test it logs in automatically. How to kill the
session so that if I run the test next time, it should suppose to ask for
username and password. Any help would be  a great help.

If you do the same thing by hand log into first application, log into your

I am shure there is a better way, but I would insert sleep statement after
ie.close (even sleep 30 or longer).
Maybe your problem is already resolved in the latest watir.

Hello Prakash, unless I'm mistaken (and it's quite possible), it sounds like
your session cookie is persistent between script runs.  So even when you
close the browser, it remembers that you were logged in so the next time you
go to the site it logs you in automatically.  Does that sound right?

I'm not sure how to kill the session cookie for your app because every app
is different.  One thing I might suggest would be to include a bypass in
your login script to see if the username field exists on the page.  If the
field exists, then proceed with login.  If it doesn't, then just continue on
with the home page.

For example, something like:

ie.goto( URL )
if ie.text_field(:name, /username/).exists?
    # enter username
    # enter password
    # click sign in button (or whatever)
end
...

Or something like that.  There could be a dozen variations on a check like
this.

I did something similar with one of my login scripts too because sometimes a
user will be prompted to change their password upon login, and sometimes
they won't.  I had to include the check so that the script didn't always
assume that it had to enter that information.

Hope this helps.  Paul.

If I do it manully, logging into the application, placing an order and
closing the browser if I open new broswer, it will ask for username and
password but with Watir test  it automatically logins if I run the test
second time, it does't ask for username and password.

FYI, in the past i've always sent out watir announcements so that they show
up in ruby-forge news.

require 'Win32API'

@ie = IE.new

Subject: [Wtr-general] firewatir question
Message-ID: <442D9792.1030004@meyer-pollans.net>

Hello,

I've just installed firewatir and upgraded to the latest watir from svn
at openqa.org - following the instructions given on this list.  I'm
running the tests now - they take a very very long time - for example:

	$ ruby checkbox_xpath_test.rb
	Loaded suite checkbox_xpath_test
	Started
	.......
	Finished in -43.812 seconds.
	
	7 tests, 45 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

Can this be correct?  I'm running xp pro in a vmware vm with a ubuntu
5.10 host (dell 700m, 1.25 GB memory).  My watir tests, using IE, are
pretty quick - and they're accessing remote sites.

Is there something that I need to configure (or unconfigure) on firefox?
 I just installed it (1.5.0.1) and the firewatir extension.

mozilla_all_tests.rb is running now - there are 14 dots on the line
below "Started" - it doesn't look like anything is changing in the
firefox window - it's changed from buttons to checkboxes.

What have I missed?

Thanks,

Warren

Message-ID: <38c139080603311828vad5a37dw954551a4c565125@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Sorry for my repost. I am still stuck up on this particular thing and
thought I can try my luck again here..

Is there an autoscroll feature in Watir? I need to use screen_capture on my
web page but the webpage is kinda long that it has be scrolled down to see
the entire web page. The screen_capture functioanlity in Watir captures only
the visible page. I am not whether there is an auto scroll feature that
exists in Watir...Can someone please let me know??

Any suggestion will be really helpful.

Thanks,
Padhma
