If you really need a TestSuite object, I'll send you to the test/unit documentation. If you really just want to run each test file one after another, the canonical way is something like (assume all of the test files are in a single directory and start with the string "test"): topdir = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__)) Dir.chdir topdir do tests = Dir["test*"] tests.each{|x| require x} end Dir[] creates an array of files that match the criteria specified in the the argument. Then you iterate over that list, require-ing each file. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It has to execute two test cases - login and logout, but when I execute it I get the following errors: C:\watir-v1_4\myTests>ruby mybox_suite.rb c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_re quire': no such file to load -- unittests/setup (LoadError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `re quire' from ./mybox_login1.rb:15 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `re quire' from mybox_suite.rb:6 I'd like to get some explanation about how to write test cases, which can be run separately and tied into a test suite. I have been reading for couple of days articles and posts from blogs, forums, documentatin , etc., but I haven't found a solution. Here is the content of my test suite: require 'test/unit/testsuite' require 'mybox_login1' require 'mybox_logout1' class TS_MyTests def self.suite suite = Test::Unit::TestSuite.new suite << TC_MYBOX_Login.suite suite << TC_MYBOX_Logout.suite return suite end end And here is for example the login test: $LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 == __FILE__ require 'unittests/setup' require 'test/unit' require 'watir/WindowHelper' require 'watir' require "mysql" class TC_MYBOX_Login < Test::Unit::TestCase include Watir # set variables $host = '192.168.0.1' - this is a fake host I'm using another in the true test $user_login = 'test_demo' def test_login() # set variables user_pass = '123'; test_site = 'http://'+ $host # print some comments puts "## Beginning of test: 'Mybox Login'" puts " " puts "Step 1: go to the test site: " + test_site $ie.goto(test_site) puts "Step 2: enter '"+$user_login+"' in login field" $ie.text_field(:name, "login").set($user_login) puts "Step 3: enter '"+user_pass+"' in password field" $ie.text_field(:name, "password").set(user_pass) sleep 1 puts "Step 4: click the 'Login' button" $ie.button(:name, "login_button").click puts "Expected Result: " puts "Actual Result: Check that the 'Log Out' link appears on the results page" assert($ie.contains_text("Log Out")) end end When I comment the "require unittests/setup". Then I get: 1) Error: test_login(TC_MYBOX_Login): NoMethodError: undefined method `goto' for nil:NilClass ./mybox_login1.rb:39:in `test_login' 2) Error: test_logout(TC_MYBOX_Logout): NoMethodError: undefined method `goto' for nil:NilClass ./mybox_logout1.rb:51:in `test_logout' Thanx in advance :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5078&messageID=14122#14122 From bret at pettichord.com Fri Nov 3 14:52:06 2006 From: bret at pettichord.com (Bret Pettichord) Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2006 13:52:06 -0600 Subject: [Wtr-general] Hacking Ruby In-Reply-To: <7ac2300c0611030240t1d551e8fp75d0e572151ffa05@mail.gmail.com> References: <454AA5B0.4030004@pettichord.com> <72799cd70611022021t32a77b9fsfaac68ec3525ee3d@mail.gmail.com> <7ac2300c0611030240t1d551e8fp75d0e572151ffa05@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <454B9DE6.7010309@pettichord.com> Some people have described Watir as a DSL for web application testing, so DSL's don't have to be project-specific. That comment also underscores a central design principle for Watir: Watir commands should be intuitive to testers. People who don't understand the DSL goal have sometimes suggested Watir extensions arguing that they are *useful*. But i have declined to accept them because they were not -- to my mind -- intuitive to testers. In my work at DataCert, i try to make our tests readable by testers (and developers) both by using and creating DSL's, and also be supporting data-driven tests using Spreadsheets.

In my recent experience with our own website, we had one area that consistently caused IE to crash, but we thought it was our tool - commercial at the time. When we realized it was our web application, we turned on our logging and looked for any possible reason why our app would cause IE to crash, and it ended up being a line of CSS code that wasn't getting released. We took that out and everything works great now!

I don't know if it was WinRunner or QTP, but one telling story from about 18 months ago: I was giving some training about testing to umm some people. Important people. These people had an application that ran in IE and was full of crazy ActiveX controls. I was going on about how cool Watir was, and one of the people in the session said "we have this one page where WinRunner just crashes. We can't figure out what's causing it." So we cranked up Watir. Not only did Watir not crash, but using Watir, we were able to identify the exact line that was causing the WinRunner crash. This particular line was so heinously non-standard that the Mercury tool couldn't even bear the sight of it and crashed. Watir just ignored it. No matter how we tried, we couldn't interact with this heinously non-standard widget. Of course, somewhere in the bowels of COM or DCOM or COM++ or OLE or something is the key to interacting with that particular widget, but it was only a one-day overview I was teaching, and we didn't pursue the problem any farther. Although I don't use Watir very much anymore, my favorite part has always been asking for new features. In fact, take some time to go through the mail list archives looking for all of the features that people have requested and received over the past couple of years. It's an impressive list. Try doing that with Mercury. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At this time niether QTP nor Watir have the ability to do a whole lot easily with Firefox or other browsers, and QTP will never support Safari or linux based systems, which is something that Watir is striving for. One thing I like about Watir is that I get native control of the computer I'm running on, because it uses Ruby. With QTP you are limited to the QTP Environment, which in and of itself isn't too bad. Both QTP and Watir take a similar approach to testing in IE, except that QTP has the ability to use the mouse cursor to perform actions, and Watir at this time does not. This mouse cursor type testing though, is not necessarily invaluable, and can easily be programmed in languages that readily support it, like Java with the Robot api in AWT. Even without knowing that, there are likely other open source test suites that can provide you with this functionality. You are correct is saying that once one moves out of the old (beginner level) recorder functionality of QTP, basically you have the same tools as in Watir. At this time my company uses both QTP and Watir, though we may easily one day completely switch over to Watir or similar tools. The reason behind that is that in our experience we have found the seemingly costly support that Mercury provides very unhelpful in our time of need, and by the time they get back to us generally we have found a way around our problem anyway. One disadvantage that Watir has at this time in comparison to QTP is its reporting mechanism. I have no experience with the Test Suite part of Watir yet, as we've been writing spiders and bots using Watir to test specific components of our website, but if you are using Ruby's built in Logger class to log information, then it is pretty much in raw format. I have thought of creating a program that parses that raw format and creates an HTML report based on it, and I have also thought of extending the Logger class to make my own format, as it hints to in the Ruby Core API documentation to do, but I haven't taken either path yet. So basically, both QTP and Watir do the same thing in the same way - don't let QTP fool you into thinking they can test IE better than any app around, because all they do is plug into the OLE server in IE. That's exactly what Watir does also. I don't know if this helps you any. Oh one more thing is that QTP gives you several options for scripting languages including VBScript and JavaScript, whereas Watir requires you to learn Ruby. But it really isn't very difficult (coming from a Jack - of - all - languages) to learn, and I think, as Ruby claims, it is a much cleaner language and has true OOP capability. If you'd like to know more about anything specific, respond to this, and maybe I can help out. thanks, Nathan --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5110&messageID=14212#14212 From bret at pettichord.com Tue Nov 7 01:40:49 2006 From: bret at pettichord.com (Bret Pettichord) Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2006 00:40:49 -0600 Subject: [Wtr-general] Why Open Source Test Tools?

If you run a Ruby program containing any classes derived from TestCase, they will automatically run all their test cases. You shouldn't need to run them in any order. Each test case should set up data, invoke a web browser, browse your site, assert, and shut down your browser. Google "Test Isolation" for lectures on why test cases should run in any order. Your cases should not, for example, drive your website into a given state, and then rely on that state in the next case. Doing this is a sign you have not characterized that state. I use Rails, which has a test fixtures system (which should be called "test resources"). It lets me declare records as text (YAML), and then load them into the database on command. So for a given website, I have a series of records in various conditions. One is a user who did not log in, the next one is logged in, the next one logged in and created one data record, etc. So my test cases can reach out to these records, each in their intermediate state, and push them to the next state. The tests can run in any order because the data refreshes between test cases. -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!!

You want to lecture me on how to test!? I see this style of testing (that you describe) as almost a complete waste of time (for me). I think that fundamentally we are hitting on a difference in approach between System Testing and Unit/Integration Testing. If my focus were on Unit/Integration Testing, I would likely agree with you. That is, you set up the tests, perform the required steps and checks and then tear them down to a known, good state. If you do that, why should you care what order you run them in? However, I am a System/Black-Box tester and during a particular test run, the system gets into fairly complex setups that would be rather stupid to close the web browser between each test. There is no *reset* between tests. Just as everyone's definition of what a "test" might be, so we should respect that the order in which the tests need to be executed may be different. The addition of the feature to specify an order to the test cases is a valuable one that acknowledges that Watir is not only a tool for unit/integration/developer testing.

Is that also the case with QTP? Don't know about QTP, but I remember Winrunner was laughable. I would guess if you are using VBScript & JavaScript as your test script languages they would be inferior to support. They can't hold a candle Ruby/WATIR DSL. Strictly speaking if QTP is using the same mechanism as WATIR to control IE, it is on the right track - the two tools are using the correct testing approach and DOM level control of the browser makes for very robust tests. Don't forget the power that comes with being able to drop down into Ruby for more hardcore testing. As part of a recent test effort where we needed to automatically test event generation of a software product with a Web UI, we used WATIR/AutoIT to control a windows simulator that drove our product, then used WATIR to configure the app, and validate when its UI changed, and dropped down into Ruby when we needed to check that mails were sent. We used a locally installed test mail server and parsed the .eml files on the local machine. But we could also have used Ruby's POP3 or SMTP libraries to validate if the mails were present on an external mail server. We could have used the same principle for querying syslog server entries, validating SNMP traps and a pile of other stuff. The most amazing thing was that it all worked pretty well and the tests were very robust. Basically WATIR being written in Ruby is an advantage, as it gives you more test capability than either VBScript or JavaScript. Our testers were quite impressed with it, and though Ruby was quite different to what they were familiar with, the amount of Ruby that they need to know to use WATIR is very little indeed. WATIR negatives - testing of non-english Unicode pages could be tricky, its an area that a professional product like QTP could pull ahead (as I don't see how the hell you could SELL a product without multinational support). Also the reporting aspect. You are on your own when it comes to making test reports. You can use the Ruby log functionality or roll your own, but in reality you probably want something much better than that, something built-in with good HTML reports, or export into portable formats like CSV. Anyone who has used a good unit test coverage tool knows what I mean. Without the reports aspect, WATIR is biased towards developers rather than testers.

There is no *reset* between tests. That is an example of poor design-for-testing. Regardless how complex a user may find a path from program load to some given state, tests should simply have a back-door to that state, such as test resources with fixed data tables. However, there are much more excessive examples of poor design-for-testing than just using GUI tests to test the back-end, so carry on! > Just as everyone's definition of what a "test" might be, so we should > respect that the order in which the tests need to be executed may be > different.

I haven't demo-ized it yet, so please accept these diverse audiovisual displays as if they were a united whole! We start with MiniRubyWiki, at this demo: http://www.zeroplayer.com/cgi-bin/wiki?TestFlea Click on any of the green bars. Now imagine if the left graphic were a thumbnail of a screenshot of a web page. You could click on the thumbnail and get the complete screenshot. This would be a copy of the tested website, in its tested state, with its intermediate data. To drive that test, in the right panel I put RSpec and Watir. So the code to log into a website would look like this: input_text 'login', 'quentin' input_text 'password', 'test' click_button 'commit' @browser.should_contain('Logged in successfully') @browser.should_contain('greetings quentin') The point of RSpec is syntactic sugar, and I have not yet learned how much sweeter I can make that. So far, I have learned how to use it to make well-formed English sentences (modulo all the _() delimiter crap!). Writing acceptance tests with this system is just plain fun. Click one of the quill icons next to the green bars. Before or after I write a new feature, I find a similar test and clone it. (Cloning a test is a best-practice in Acceptance Test land, so long as you frequently merge things back into features!) Then I edit the new test to advance its behavior. The test cases all go into an XML file (_not_ a Wiki file!). At test time, Wiki calls a test runner to run one case in that file. The test runner without arguments runs all the cases in all the relevant XML files. It stitches together the RSpec environment, tests all the cases, and then changes each case's result_color to reflect its passing state.

Nothing that *we* didn't already know, but now I got links to articles that I can give to our QA guys. They are already sold on this WATIR thing, and I can just see them nodding their heads right through the paragraph on what was wrong with the whole vendor driven test automation. Good stuff indeed.

I am assuming that you are doing this not for the purpose of explaining what the tests do (anyone who can't understand cleanly written WATIR doesn't need the tests explained to them). But you are talking about reverse storyboarding here right? Its got potential alright, especially if you could automatically annotate reports in such a fashion. It would be especially useful if you could extract context from a fail this way (parsing log messages). You might never get a perfect solution, but it could be reasonably deterministic for a respectable amount of non-trivial tests. Useful for training too.

When my program runs the output is in excel, and the different types are color coded. The 'details' are normally filtered out, its way too much information.

THere is some command line option that you need to use. But I cant rememerb what it is -------------- next part -------------- You have a bunch of Watir tests, right? With every build of your application under test, you run them all. If a test fails, application should be fixed, or you test should be fixed. Wouldn't it be nice to make how-to documents from that tests? Time for an example. def login_as(username, password) ie.goto("my.app/login") ie.should_contain("please login") ie.text_field(:id, "username").set(username) ie.text_field(:id, "password").set(password) ie.button(:value, "login").click ie.should_contain("logged in as #{username}") end You run that test, and you get output like this: How to login? - go to page my.app/login - there should be text "please login" - enter username at username text field - enter password at password text field - click button login - there should be text "logged in as username" Has anybody done something like this? I am thinking of doing it, but If somebody has done it already, I would like to take a look.

You can use "system" to start IE and then attach to it. Avant is a modified version of IE and that is why Watir thinks it is IE.

First of all it is not your typical test, as it is a Spider or Web Crawler specialized to crawl our website. It only touches links that contain our domain, that aren't associated with basic menu navigation (because the same menus are on every page) and those that don't belong to individual forms, such as submit buttons that are actually images that send data to ASPX web applications. Those are just some technical details, though they aren't really important. The Spider does no clicking, rather it goes to a page that was previously defined and gathers all of the links on that page to use later. The following explains briefly the recursive method used: 1. Go to home page 2. Gather all of the links on that page 3. Remove links that are associated with menus, images, forms, or that go outside of our website from the array 4. Go to each page in the array (using IE.goto) 5. Return to step two for each page This is a recursive method, so it only ever makes one array of all of the links in the long run. It's really quite amazing, simple, and intuitive. Besides the rules that are defined specifically for our website (step 3), one could use this same algorithm on pretty much any website to crawl it. Also one must define how many levels of links deep to recurse, otherwise it would potentially run forever, given perfect conditions. Now on to my problem. When I run my recursive script, I expect it to traverse every link within our rules to four levels by default. As the Spider goes through our website it collects a great number of links - level 1 = 1, level 2 = 27, level 3 = 475, level 4 = 2670. It does a great job of getting through everything until suddenly it gets to the 129th out of 2670 on level 4, then it throws the following exception and gives the following baffling information (baffling because it doesn't seem like it should do this, read through the stack trace and my comments afterward before you draw any conclusions please - this is completely consistent - happens in the same place every time, so I haven't ruled out a website issue, but please continue): c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1347:in `method_missing': unknown proper ty or method `document' (WIN32OLERuntimeError) HRESULT error code:0x800706ba The RPC server is unavailable. from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/wati r.rb:1347:in `document' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3648:in `length' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2088:in `initialize' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:620:in `new' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:620:in `images' from C:/Documents and Settings/nathanl/My Documents/Watir Tests/Spider/S pider.rb:91:in `blnCheckAllImages' from C:/Documents and Settings/nathanl/My Documents/Watir Tests/Spider/S pider.rb:234:in `recurseLinks' from C:/Documents and Settings/nathanl/My Documents/Watir Tests/Spider/S pider.rb:219:in `each' from C:/Documents and Settings/nathanl/My Documents/Watir Tests/Spider/S pider.rb:219:in `recurseLinks' from C:/Documents and Settings/nathanl/My Documents/Watir Tests/Spider/S pider.rb:286:in `recurseLinks' from C:/Documents and Settings/nathanl/My Documents/Watir Tests/Spider/S pider.rb:362 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/benchmark.rb:293:in `measure' from C:/Documents and Settings/nathanl/My Documents/Watir Tests/Spider/S pider.rb:356 As you can see it appears as though the RPC server stopped, or became futily busy (I know futily isn't a word, but I think you can get my drift if you've ever seen a Borg episode of Star Trek). For my problems I found the following article in the forums (linked here http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general at rubyforge.org/msg05305.html): "...This can happen in the following scenario 1. create browser 2. close browser 3. create browser -- error sometimes happens here The problem lies in the way IE is structured and the way that Watir 1.4 interacts with it. Specifically, Watir creates a "client windows" that interacts with the "IE RPC Server". This is not a web server, but rather the IE process running on your computer. When the last client to this server is closed, the "server" will also start closing, but this happens asynchronously. [b]In your case, you are probably trying to get a new IE window, and it is trying to connect to the IE RPC server that is actually in the process of closing down. The simplest workaround is to reuse IE windows instead of opening and closing them.[/b] Another workaround is to leave IE window open at the beginning of your session (it can be invisible) and then when you open and close windows, the IE RPC Server will never shutdown, because there always will be one window connected to it..." Notice the part I highlighted in bold, that would be the logical problem/solution scenario, wouldn't it, but I ALWAYS reuse the same window, and never try to attach to another window or open a new window. I also have taken a screenshot of every page I've browsed to (378 pages so far). I am using Watir 1.4 (latest) and Ruby 1.8.5-21 I believe on Windows (of course) with Internet Explorer 6. PLEASE, please help me if you have a solution. I have thought to maybe put a begin...rescue...end block around some of my code to try and keep this from happening, but I'm not sure that would do any good. Oh also, I know pretty much that something WIERD is going on because my browser window is always closed at this point - when the error occurs, which is obviously the reason for the RPC Server problem.

So I've got a harness which has this code class TestSuite < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_simple load 'simple.rb' end which as you can see, loads up simple and runs it. Simple, after a few actions, has an assert block like this... begin assert(ie.frame("main").contains_text("centralvision") ) logger.log("Passed. Found test string 'centralvision' ") logger.log_results("test_simple_login", "centralvision","centralvision", "TEST PASSED.") rescue => e logger.log("*FAILED*." + e.message + "\n" + e.backtrace.join("\n")) logger.log_results("test_simple_login", "centralvision","centralvision", "TEST FAILED.") end (You'll probably notice I'm, for now, using the format of the logger suggested in the Scripting101 docs.) Anyway - the asserts work fine, and I can see the correct results in the logs, but the harness returns Loaded suite simple Started Finished in 0.0 seconds. 0 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors Which is presumably because no assertions were made in the harness? Isn't it possible to use this code block in the test being loaded in? Or should I be doing this differently? I've found the suite on openqa.org to be useful as an example, but am getting a bit stuck here. Max Russell test Analyst.

I wrote a script a while back that yanks all the elements on a page and puts them in a nicely formatted xml document. The only things I've had to change when sending examples has been to use the 'puts" command at the end rather than the xml inject, and remove the outer "XML.images do" loops that make sure they get written in correctly. I think these should help you figure out my logic since it can be used for all elements. Examples: Buttons: ie.buttons.each do |button| buttons = {'name' => button.name, 'text' => button.value} buttons.each do | it, button | puts "#{it}:#{button}" end Links: ie.links.each do |link| next if link.innerText.empty? #they get this extra line in case they don't have text urls = {'href' => link.href, 'name' => link.innerText} urls.each do | item, url | puts "#{item}:#{url}" end Thanks, Adam ________________________________ From: sikander [mailto:sikander at marlabs.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 7:25 AM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Cc: Adam Reed Subject: RE: [Wtr-general] Is there any way to get all the scr's of images?

You need to restructure your testing system so you can get more information about what is causing the window to close. And you need to be able to reproduce the error in less than 2 hours.

I'm sorry that I didn't give enough detail. Can you or somebody else give me an idea of what else I might log/track in order to give you an idea of what might be going on or even me? At this point I'm not exactly sure what to do, because obviously my browser shuts down for some reason, which causes the wait method to suddenly stop, which causes an exception to be thrown. The stack trace is no more helpful than that, and I can see that, either to you or to me. I'm usually pretty much able to take care of myself, but not this time. Do you think that reopening my browser might help? Something else, sometimes I lose the attachment to the OLE object for IE, this is also only reproducible over a couple of hours. Is there some mechanism perhaps on the OLE side that might cause this, like a timeout that I can change or so? I most recently saw this error, where I lost the window, but it was still open, and when I verified it in my script by returning the HWND to the screen, it threw another exception stating that it could not find it. I just thought of something I might be able to try if my window is still open - perhaps I could try the iteration again by before the sub processes go, get the title of the window, then if I lose the window, try and reattach to it by its title...hmmm. What does anybody think? Thanks again Bret for your response. It at least got me thinking!

So in level three of my recursion I collected a total of 2670 unique links from our site - you can imagine then how big our site is - and I actually realized something that I don't know - according to my log, which has the "---" line right before the stack trace at the end, I could either be on link 129 or 130 - I don't log that until I'm done with the page. The number really shouldn't matter, but maybe it does. I will have to look into that for certain. And your second point is also correct. I thought I explained that, I do use IE.goto([i]strLinkHref[/i]) to get to each page. Now to answer your questions: [b]Q.[/b] "If you attempt to go straight to that link (hard code some data into your loop to force it to go straight there) does it happen?" [b]A.[/b] If I go straight to that link without my script, the page loads and everyone cheers. I'll need to try injecting it in my script - but first I need to find out what that link actually is, which I don't know yet. [b]Q.[/b] "If you slip in a link before 129, which one does it crash on?" [b]A.[/b] Once again, I'll need to figure out a way to do this first - might need to write some funny code or something, but I'll give it a try and let you know for sure - it'll be added to my important tasks. However I don't expect that it'll change where it crashes, though if it does, then I know that link might be suspicious! Thanks for making me think - a second pair of eyes is always necessary, even in QA development. [b]Q.[/b] "If you attempt to 'goto' the link by hand, does the browser close?" [b]A.[/b] This brings me to a point I don't know yet, whether I die on link 129 or link 130, because I don't know what link 130 is and my log says that it's actually probably 130 - I have made adjustments to my script to give me more info when it dies, so I hope I'll get something that can be more helpful in the long run. Thank you Jlolis, these questions have stirred my thoughts. And I'll get back to the forum when I know more.

I googled for "internet explorer" + 2800 but had no success. That's a lot of links, and a round number. I wonder if there's some protective mechanism in IE itself at work. Maybe you could farm out the work among scripts communicating with more IE processes? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I said that I filter out "...links that are associated with menus, images, forms, or that go outside of our website...", but neglected to mention my full algorithm I guess: Here's a list of links that I remove from my array(s) of links (I have a sub procedure that gets all of the links on a page, then deletes these ones, and gives me an array to return, then I return that and store it in the BIG array): Links that are deleted from my array by just not adding them in :) 1. if tempLink.src.empty? 2. if (tempLink.id.to_s)["menu"].nil? 3. if (tempLink.id.to_s)["breadcrumb"].nil? 4. if (tempLink.href.to_s)["javascript"].nil? 5. if not (tempLink.href.to_s).empty? 6. if (tempLink.href.to_s)["@"].nil? 7. if not (tempLink.href.to_s)["vehix"].nil? So a little explanation now. This is actually one long "if" statement and each of these are linked by and's. The first one makes sure that the link isn't attached to an image. Number 2 makes sure that in our case the class name doesn't tell us the link is in a menu - our classes (HTML) are very descriptive like this for the most part. Number 3 makes sure that the link isn't part of a breadcrumb (which is like a traceback of pages that are associated with each other, like in a menu hierarchy). Number 4 makes sure the link isn't a [b]javascript[/b] link. Number 5 makes sure the href of the link has some text in it. Number 6 makes sure that the link isn't a mailto, because those suck, especially when you are actually running something like Outlook or Thunderbird! And finally number 7 makes sure that the link contains our domain name, because all of the links I care about do. So there you have it. I realized a lot of the same things as you did :) Thanks for pointing those out though. I went through about a week to develop this. Now it's all up to my logging to tell me what's wrong.

I don't really believe that the link type is the problem, though it may be related. I don't want to test the links that I filter out on purpose because they either don't take me to a new page, or they take me to the same page multiple times because they are always in the same position on the page, like menu links for example. Our website rules state that if you go to exactly the same page multiple times, then it is treated as though you only went there once. That's okay with me, I just won't test links that do that to me. Our purpose in the spider is also to try and see as many unique pages as we possibly can on our website. And with each recursion it becomes more and more likely that we will accomplish this. The purpose of a web crawler, which this test is, is to crawl the entire web site by itself as well as possible. To do this a recursive method is implemented. In a way it is incidental that we are using Watir, though it isn't accidental - we chose this tool for a good reason. It works! So dividing the task up would defeat our original purposes. This is why we don't follow the test case format, in fact we don't utilize any of the the test suite/test case stuff included with Watir for this reason. We wanted to be as native as possible without reinventing the wheel. As far as JavaScript and the other links go, they don't do anything the a normal web crawler would want to do anyway, so we just throw them away. :) I hope that helps you understand a little about why we did what we did.

While I don't think I can add anything more to the programming/troubleshooting side of things than have already been offered, I haven't seen anyone yet ask what else is going on in the system. Do you have any other programs or services running in the background? (In particular any monitoring programs in the System Tray?) Have you tried collecting system performance metrics while you run your test? For example, using the Windows Perfmon tool, set up a new Counter Log to trace the CPU and Memory usage of the system and the iexplore process. Make sure to create a "Text File (Comma delimited)" Log file type so that you can bring the results into Excel and examine them after the test failure. Sysinternals also makes some nice tools that you can use for monitoring your system, including Process Explorer, Filemon, etc. If you can't solve the mystery with the information you have, look for more clues and information. All the best! Cheers. Paul C. On 09/11/06, Nathan wrote: > > > I am using Watir 1.4 (latest) and Ruby 1.8.5-21 I believe on Windows (of > course) with Internet Explorer 6.

Thank you, Mark! You don't know it, but this just helped me solve a completely different problem that I was experiencing with a non-Watir Ruby script. The key was the "start". Every time I would run my Ruby script (using the "rubyw") from a batch file a command prompt window would still be left open just to annoy me. When I saw the "start" that you included below, it dawned on me that it was the batch file that was leaving the cmd window open not the Ruby interpreter. I added that DOS command to my batch file and now the cmd window closes when the ruby script runs. Sweet! Sigh. What a relief. Have a great weekend. Cheers! Paul C.

So just for fun I did this: #################################3 require 'watir' include Watir @ie = IE.new @ie.set_fast_speed 1.upto 3000 do |num| @ie.goto("C:\\Documents and Settings\\cmcmahon\\Desktop\\3000\\buttons1.html") puts num @ie.button(:name, "b1").click end ########################################## where buttons1.html just goes to itself: and found some interesting things. First of all, there's a memory leak. Watch your ruby process in taskmanager and it's clear to see. It's not too egregious, but on a system with other demands on memory, could be a problem. The other thing is a little weirder. On my box at least, if I kill this process and re-start, the next ruby/watir process grabs as much memory as it had when I killed the previous process. I've never seen this behavior before and I can't explain it. At about 2700 clicks, the rate of clicking dropped dramatically, to maybe 2 or 3 clicks every 10 seconds, or even longer. It picked back up again, but at one point it was slow enough that a timeout could definitely have come into play. So I vote for a memory-leak problem or a timeout problem. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Reliability used to be a problem but I'm now using Watir to test a web app that has loads of JavaScript pop-ups. The method described below is an unofficial add-on rather than a supported part of Watir but it works fine. Get the latest development version of Watir (1127 as of a few moments ago). Then use the following code... ++++++++++++++++ # The next line goes with the other require statements at the top of your script require 'watir/contrib/enabled_popup' ... # The next statement clicks the link or button that produces your pop-up - amend it as appropriate. ie.link(:text, "yourlink").click_no_wait # Now comes the code that handles the pop-up. No need to change it unless you want to click the 'Cancel' button rather than "OK" hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(5) # get a handle if one exists if (hwnd) # yes there is a popup w = WinClicker.new w.makeWindowActive(hwnd) # "OK" or whatever the name on the button is w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, "OK") end ++++++++++++++++ If you have problems post again or email me.

As IE runs, no matter what it does, its memory usage variable in your Task Manager's Process's tab will always go up; never down. That's because virtual memory has no need to truly free any allocated memory. If your program stops using that memory, then it will languish in your swapper file while IE uses memory pages that are (hopefully!) swapped into physical memory. Within each program's memory arena are heaps, managed by the system. (These contain the storage used by C language heap functions, malloc() and free(). Programs typically use heaps inside of heaps.) If you got a handle to the IE process, you could query its system heaps, and detect which ones were in-use and which are not. And this still would not directly detect a leak. Etc. etc. etc. You don't want to know what all the ActiveX (COM) does between IE, memory, and Javascript. The simplest way to test for leaks is leave a test case running all night in a loop, and see if it crashes. If I had Purify, I could try Purify -> Ruby -> IE -> JavaScript. Except all of those items probably leak like crazy (except Ruby, of course!), so you would not be able to tell the trees for the forest. -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!!

Currently my Spider is a scheduled task, which runs every evening after I leave work. If I happen to know I'll be working later, then I reschedule the Spider to run at a different time. Because I am running it on my personal development machine, I try and close as many programs as I don't need before I leave for the day, including popup blockers, IM, Email, and various quick launchers I have running on my system. The only system tray programs I leave running are my antivirus, VPN, and sound controls. None of these systems "should" affect the way such a program as a Spider performs, but it may be possible. As of yet I haven't decided to collect perfomance stats. As I watch my little Spider program run I don't usually see anything out of the ordinary, except for example, when the page I am on contains several hundred images and I am checking each image. One page of ours contains over 1,000 separate images, and during the time it is checking those images there is much higher CPU usage (upwards of 100%). This doesn't really concern me though, because all I am doing is querying the RPC server (Internet Explorer) to find out each image's file size. I have seen IE use 100% CPU and 400,000 KB of Memory and not give me any trouble, though they may signify some kind of memory leak in our web application. I described this somewhat in another thread, where I mentioned our website having a problem at one time, where a certain section of our website would crash IE after a few clicks. This was caused by a line of CSS not being released by IE, and building up memory usage, which was a leak in our software (the ASPX web app we created) and not Internet Explorer. I am convinced, though clumsy it may be, that IE is very robust and can handle anything it's built for, so web app and web site developers need to be very careful to do things the "right" way. This may be the reason IE is closing on me. I plan now to run at least one test to include memory data from task manager - I have written an external, low-level screenshot program using C#.Net to take the place of the clumsier, less reliable method that Watir 1.4 uses - sending keystrokes and using Paint to save the file -, and it allows me to take a screenshot of either just my browser or the whole screen. For now I believe this will be sufficient. Thank you for your time bb_tester.

I won't say it was for nothing. Thank you for trying things out that might help me. It appears that your conclusions are correct as far as your website goes. It may very well be that there is a memory leak because of the way you are doing things. It is possible that performing recursion as you have with javascript in a webpage can cause the browser not to let go of previously used memory, because "it doesn't know any better". This is a link to a thread that discusses this sort of phenomenon briefly: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread153454.html The other thing that you're doing is considered "unsafe" in the world of programming, and so it is not considered normal if a computer does this. Most operating systems are built to ensure that this doesn't happen, but I know that you can override that when compiling your kernel for Linux, for example, in order to minimze the amount of memory used by a single process. I suppose that tweaks also exist for Windows to do the same thing, though I haven't looked into it. In such a case, a process may be restarted in order to try and free up memory. As far as clicking a lot affecting performance, I'm not sure what to think about it. It does not seem likely that simply clicking would decrease performance as IE does not continuously withhold memory from the system, except when the web application is poorly programmed for handling memory, especially when using objects. For example when you leave a website, the memory IE retained for that website's cache is released and the objects it was saving are linked to by creating shortcuts in the cache space. This kind of perfomance problem would necessarily be caused by other programs running, or by some memory leak contained in the web site/ web application itself. Thank you again for the information. I am continuing to work through these issues. Interestingly, another error I see in the same place every time is that about half of my level two links come back as null. I think I know why, but I'm not sure yet. I have already formed precautionary blocks around that section of code in order to keep it from killing the Spider ultimately, but it shows up in the log I create consistently.

I think that I have resolved my problem. I'll tell you how it happened. So this morning I put a little extra debugging stuff into my Spider script, and realized that there was one point in my script where I was checking to see if an Array object was empty?, but sometimes this object wasn't returning as an Array, so I looked up reflection in the Ruby Pragmatic Programmer manual and found out how to determine the class of an object. I then implemented an if...end block that checked whether my object was an array (if object.class == Array...) and found out that I had about 200 null objects in my collection of arrays - that's a ton - which I think I mentioned in my previous post. Well I went back through my code and found out that I was making my collection too large. Here's where the problem was - order of operations (they kill me sometimes): collection = Array.new(otherCollection.length) collection = otherCollection collection.sort! collection.uniq! # This is where my issue was, sort of collection.each { ... So the order of operations problem was in the order I was doing things in this segment. Because I always knew that there were duplicates in my collection object, I always purged that object, but what I should have done, and changed to was this: otherCollection.sort! otherCollection.uniq! collection = Array.new(otherCollection.length) collection = otherCollection collection.each { ... Anyway, so I changed that around, and since then I haven't seen any problems - IE doesn't close, my arrays don't throw a bunch of null pointer exceptions at me, and my Spider actually completed its task. Coding problems are always the most elusive. Order of operations is necessary to understand in almost every coding situation. Even processors need to understand order of operations, otherwise things would be crazy jumbled up! Well thanks again for all of your help. I will call on you all again in the future. Even though none of you had the right solution, you still all got me thinking, and that's what I count on from other developers/testers!

So to me it appears that you are missing a few things to let me know completely what's going on in your webpage, but let me guess about it. I looks like you have a flash object that contains a menu and it calls javascript functions? Or do you have javascript that somehow writes a link to your webpage? Is your link a normal link defined by ...? If your link is normal and NOT contained in your flash object, then Watir will enable you to click on it by some code similar to the following: require "watir" include Watir ie = IE.start("yourWebsiteURL") ie.link(:text, "textOnYourLink").click If your link contains no text, has no id, or name, or anything particularly identtifying, then I believe you can access it by its index via: ie.link(:index, 4) Where 4 is the number of the link on your webpage. If however your link is part of your flash object, then there's currently no hope unless you use a tool that will click on a specific location on your screen and that location is always the same. The reason there's currently no hope is that there is no tool in the world that will recognize objects within a flash object, like links. Maybe I missed something. Is there any more explanation you can give us?

First of all do: ie.show_frames List will give you a list of frames. 2. Then for each of the frame names returned in step 1 do: ie.frame("").show_images This will give you lists of images in each frame (you have to replace with the actual name of a frame returned in step 1. If there are 5 frames returned in step 1, then you might have to do step 2 five times to find out which frame contains your image. 3.

I am not missing anything from the code I wrote. The flash is just to display an image in the center of the page and does not do anything apart from that. All the menu items on top of the page are actually stored in the menu_config.js script file. I have double check that. Snippet of the menu_config.js [CODE] // Menu tree //MenuX=new Array(Text to show, Link, background image (optional), number of sub elements, height, width); //For rollover images set "Text to show" to: "rollover:Image1.jpg:Image2.jpg" Menu1=new Array("Client Search","search.do","",0,22,139); Menu2=new Array("Reports","reports.do","",0,22,139); Menu3=new Array("Bank Transfer","banking.do","",0,22,139); [/CODE] and the menu_com.js file uploads the menus and do other stuff related to menus. So practically, calling the .js does the trick of creating a menu which acts as a link. Any funtion or method or anything in Watir that can handle this kind of javascripting on a page.

I found that the issue was the call inside of winClicker.rbto the set_text method from the setComboBoxText method. The solution is to make your setComboBoxText method inside winClicker.rblook like the following: def setComboBoxText(hWnd , textToSet) send_message = @User32['SendMessage', 'ILISS'] r ,rs = send_message.call(hWnd , WM_SETTEXT ,'',textToSet) end this may also be true for the setTextBoxText method. Hopefully this will help those having issue with the fileField. Also, why is the value of the fileField not exposed? It seems that this would be a much more efficient way to assign a file path than to open a new dialog box, and find the appropriate file and open it. why not just do ie.fileField(:id, /someId/).value = 'myfile.ext' -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I kind of figured that your links were inside of those javascript files somewhere, but I couldn't see those, so I didn't know exactly where to begin with helping you possibly solve your problem. So one thing to try when you are viewing your page is the following: 1. Right click on your page and select View Source 2. Look for the links (<a href=...></a> tags) in the source code that results. Usually the page source will load up in Notepad or watever you have selected for it to load up in If you can see that your links show up there, then all you need to do is find some attribute, such as the id, name, or innertext, that is unique to each link, then you can use that in a statement link the following: ie.link(:someUniqueAttribute, "uniqueAttributeValue").click where :someUniqueAttribute is eqivalent to :id, :name, :innertext, or whatever you decide - the ':' is a necessary part of this value and it is not a string, so no quotes, but you probably already knew that. And where "uniqueAttributeValue" is the value of the attribute you picked. An example of link source code follows: <a href="#" id="newLink" class="blackLink" name="Link to nowhere">This is my link to nowhere</a> In the above link the following unique attributes and their values can be seen: 
attribute             value
--------------------------------
  :href                 "#"
  :id                    "newLink"
  :class              "blackLink"
  :name              "Link to nowhere"
  :innertext          "This is my link to nowhere"
That said, looking at what you have given me to work with, I'm still unsure where your link is, or how to identify it myself. One problem with javascript generated stuff may be the following: If you are generating links or anything else on-the-fly every time that somebody triggers a specific event, then it's possible that you'll never see that object. With menus for example, if you redraw your menu completely and dynamically change the links in your menu, then you might not be able to see that link until you first fire a mouse over event and "mouseover" your menu, but if your menu already contains the links and all you do is change visibility of your menu, then you might still be able to click on them, but not if their :visible attribute is set to "hidden". To fire an event like mouseover on a menu you might do something like this, where the menu is an image: require "watir" include Watir # Create a new browser object $objWatirBrowser = IE.start("www.mystartpage.com") # Fire a mouseover event on my menu to activate it $objWatirBrowser.image(:id, "menu_Help").fireEvent("onMouseOver") # Now I can see my link, so click on it $objWatirBrowser.link(:innertext, "About Us").click Let me know if this has helped you at all.

The span happens to be located within a table. That table also contains the text input field (my real goal). So is there a way to find out what the table index is that contains a span? To explain it another way, here is some fake code. > > table_index = $ie.frame('frame1').span(:text,'findme').get_parent_table_index() > $ie.frame('frame1').table(:index,table_index)[1][3].text_field(:index, 1).set('i did it!') > This problem comes up repeatedly both on this forum and in my daily use of Watir. I believe that Watir needs to be extended to provide a solid, intuitive way to do this kind of thing. This has been discussed some on the wtr-development list. First of all, i should say that this specific problem has a little-known solution that is even in Watir 1.4. span = $ie.frame('frame1').span(:text, 'findme'). table = Table.create_from_element(span, span) table[1][3].text_field(:index, 1).set('i did it!') However, i have run into similar situations, where i needed to get a containing row instead of a table. There is not currently a TableRow.create_from_element method, and it is not clear that this would be the best API for this kind of thing. I would appreciate comments on how intuitive you find the following possible syntaxes. I also would appreciate hearing other suggestions. table = $ie.frame('frame1').table(:containing, span) table = span.parent.table(:index, 1) It also seems that we need to support the case where you want to know the containing element (say Div) of a particular class, so this is also something to consider. Some of these may be easier than others to implement, but right now i am trying to figure out what would be an intuitive Watir-like syntax for this kind of thing.

Well you could do the following: Assuming that this text field is the first and only text field on the page, then some like this code would be able to access it and enter the value "I did it!" into that text field: ie.textField(:index, "0").set("I did it!")

Is your web page available online somewhere so that I might give it a go and try to do what you are trying to do? As far as the image method goes, if there isn't an image that represents your menu, then don't use the image, for example if your menu is a link, use link instead of image. Watir can only work with objects that are actually on your webpage - if no images, then Watir cannot see an image, which is what the message indicates. Watir can however do it! Because Watir uses the same technique as every other automated test tool for Internet Explorer, if Watir can't do it, then no other tool can, but I guarantee that Watir can do it. So the reason why you see "Client SearchReportsBank TransferProceduresChange PasswordAdvantageCheck RequestsBonus AwardsPredictive Dialer" INSTEAD of Client Search Reports Bank.. etc. with spaces in between each word is likely because in your webpage there aren't spaces after each word. If in your webpage you were to place a space after each word, probably in the form   then you would also see spaces between each word when you do $ie.text. Let's try something different. Open up a command line window (if you don't already know how, click on the Start button, click on Run, enter cmd, then click OK). From there type irb and press Enter. This brings you into the Ruby console. Now type the following, pressing enter after each line - case matters remember, and you should never see the word nil unless I tell you: require 'watir' include Watir $ie=IE.start([i]type the URL to your webpage here in quotation marks[/i]) $ie.show_links This will list all of the attributes of all of the links on your website. Try it out and let me know what you get. To exit the Ruby console type exit and press Enter.

Here's something to remember: You can send a click event to any object, even if it isn't defined as a link typically is defined. So for example you could do any of the following and it would be legitimate: ie.link(:id, "homeLink").click ie.image(:alt, "some image").click ie.div(:class, "menu").click ie.span(:innertext, "My name is Nathan").click ...and so on. Now as far as the possibility of your developer changing the order of the divs, he or she should be giving the divs unique identifiers, such as an html id or a name. Good programming suggests this and it makes sense. Then let's say you have a div containing a help menu, and it gets moved to be the second out of three menus, then that div should have the unique name of "help_menu" or something like that, then when its position does change, it is still named "help_menu". Your developer can do this like so: <div name="help_menu">[i]Content or link text here[/i]</div> Also, this little method you did: $ie.divs.each {|d| puts d.to_s puts " " } is a handy little method that is part of Watir, but it doesn't show all of the attributes by far that you can use. Try this, and you will get a listing of all of the attributes and methods that are available for a div, and you can do this on any element type: $ie.divs.methods.each {|m| puts m } This will list all of the attributes (properties) and methods available for a div object. The to_s method that has been written into Watir, simply only defines type, id, name, value, disabled, style, and text. Some other examples directly from the output of the above code are: methods: instance_of? click == send fire_event Attributes/properties: class id type display text value ...and there are so many more. You can even get collections of objects that are inside of divs. For example let's say a div contains several images, then you could do the following to get all of the images: imagesArray = ie.divs[0].images Then imagesArray would be an array of all of the images contained in the first div on the web page. Also to clarify, in Ruby arrays may be either one-based or zero-based. By default arrays are zero-based, meaning that the first element in an array is element 0 (zero), but the creators of Watir have decided to make the arrays that they return all one-based, so if you access an array that they have created, then 1 is the first element. Here's an example of the difference: Using Watir stuff: ie.div(:index, "1").click Using Native Ruby stuff: ie.divs[0].click Both of the above lines of code click on the first div in the web page. Don't forget about your developer needing to give names to each of the divs. It's good development practice, and it makes testing that much easier. It's part of developing pro-actively.

I tried a couple of things to see if I could find out what was going on. First I copied your code into two separate files. I copied require 'watir' include Watir $logger = Logger.new('C:\WebTest\MentorAppTestScripts\logger.log', 5, 1024000) $logger.level = Logger::ERROR into a file named Logger.rb. And I copied require 'watir' require 'Logger' include Watir username = 'watirplayer' password = 'watirplayer' puts "## Start MentorApp SQA" $ie = IE.new $ie.clear_url_list $ie.goto("http://mentorapp") if not $ie.button(:value, 'Login').exists? $logger.info("Successfull Login") puts "Successfull Login" else $logger.error("Did not log in") puts "Not able to Login" end into a file named Another.rb (just because I couldn't think of another name). Both of these files were in the same directory. Then I ran them on the command line. IE launched, then I got these error messages, which are similar to yours: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:172: warning: already initialized constant VERSION c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:174: warning: already initialized constant ProgName c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:181: warning: already initialized constant DEBUG c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:182: warning: already initialized constant INFO c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:183: warning: already initialized constant WARN c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:184: warning: already initialized constant ERROR c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:185: warning: already initialized constant FATAL c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:186: warning: already initialized constant UNKNOWN c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:424: warning: already initialized constant SEV_LABEL c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:436: warning: already initialized constant Format c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:537: warning: already initialized constant SiD And then I tried the following, and inlined Logger.rb like so: require 'watir' [b]require 'watir' include Watir $logger = Logger.new('C:\WebTest\MentorAppTestScripts\logger.log', 5, 1024000) $logger.level = Logger::ERROR [/b]include Watir username = 'watirplayer' password = 'watirplayer' puts "## Start MentorApp SQA" $ie = IE.new $ie.clear_url_list $ie.goto("http://mentorapp") if not $ie.button(:value, 'Login').exists? $logger.info("Successfull Login") puts "Successfull Login" else $logger.error("Did not log in") puts "Not able to Login" end where the bold code is the inlined Logger.rb, and then I ran it (Another.rb) and got zero errors. So I can only conclude one possibility as to what the problem might be. 1. Because the file where you initialized your $logger object was named Logger.rb, maybe there was confusion to Ruby, because the file for Logger in Ruby is called logger.rb So try renaming your Logger.rb file to something like MentorAppLogger.rb. I tried this and I didn't see any errors.

So when you're doing your require 'Logger', the ruby standard logger.rb is getting picked up, not your own logger, since it's first in ruby's load path. Rename Logger.rb to something else, mylogger.rb or whatever and then use that in your require. You also don't need the require and include for watir in your logging file unless you plan on using watir in it, you can replace that with require 'logger' to require Ruby's logger. mylog.rb: require 'logger' $logger = Logger.new('C:\WebTest\MentorAppTestScripts\logger.log', 5, 1024000) $logger.level = Logger::ERROR test_file.rb require 'mylog' require 'watir' include Watir .......... $logger.error("Did not log in") .......... -Charley On 11/16/06, Prashant Bhatia wrote: > I created Logger.rb file which has > [b][CODE][/b] > require 'watir' > include Watir > $logger = Logger.new('C:\WebTest\MentorAppTestScripts\logger.log', 5, 1024000) > $logger.level = Logger::ERROR > [b][/CODE][/b] > > Now, I am trying to using this log file in another .rb. > [b][CODE SNIPPET][/b] > require 'watir' > require 'Logger' > include Watir > > username = 'watirplayer' > password = 'watirplayer' > > puts "## Start MentorApp SQA" > $ie = IE.new > $ie.clear_url_list > $ie.goto("http://mentorapp") > > if not $ie.button(:value, 'Login').exists? > $logger.info("Successfull Login") > puts "Successfull Login" > else > $logger.error("Did not log in") > puts "Not able to Login" > end > [b][/CODE SNIPPET][/b] > > but I get this error message: > > [b][ERROR MSG][/b] > >ruby LogintoMentorApp.rb > In LoginToMentorApp file > ## Start MentorApp SQA > ## Entering username, password > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:179: warning: already initialized constant ProgName > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:186: warning: already initialized constant DEBUG > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:187: warning: already initialized constant INFO > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:188: warning: already initialized constant WARN > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:189: warning: already initialized constant ERROR > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:190: warning: already initialized constant FATAL > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:191: warning: already initialized constant UNKNOWN > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:422: warning: already initialized constant SEV_LABEL > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:436: warning: already initialized constant Format > c:/webtest/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/Logger.rb:553: warning: already initialized constant SiD > LogintoMentorApp.rb:41: undefined method `info' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) > >Exit code: 1 > [b][/ERROR MSG][/b] > > What am I doing wrong? > Thanks > Prashant > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Posted via Jive Forums > http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5304&messageID=14750#14750 > _______________________________________________ > Wtr-general mailing list > Wtr-general at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general > From vikashkumar051 at yahoo.co.in Sat Nov 18 02:43:33 2006 From: vikashkumar051 at yahoo.co.in (VIKASH KUMAR) Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2006 13:13:33 +0530 (IST) Subject: [Wtr-general] Exception error in using click_no_wait Message-ID: <20061118074333.92593.qmail@web7805.mail.in.yahoo.com> While using the following code for accessing JS input box, it gives error message undefined method `click_no_wait' for # (NoMethodError), below is the code, please help me out. require 'watir\contrib\enabled_popup' def startClicker( button , waitTime=9, user_input=nil) hwnd = $ie.enabled_popup(waitTime) # get a handle if one exists if (hwnd) # yes there is a popup w = WinClicker.new if ( user_input ) w.setTextValueForFileNameField(hwnd, "#{user_input}") end sleep 3 # I put this in to see the text being input it is not necessary to work w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, "#{button}") # "OK" or whatever the name on the button is w=nil # this is just cleanup end end $ie=Watir::IE.start("c:\test.htm") $ie.image(:index,'4').click_no_wait startClicker("OK", 7, "User Input") Thanks __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Watir is good tool for web testing, but during testing, usually there are a lot more things to do other than operating the web browser.

Message-ID: <00a101c711bc$537db6a0$3700a8c0@dbrblackcompaq> Hello, I encountered a difference between Watir behavior and manual clicking on the link that is a problem for automated testing of the hole application. Here is my button/link/image, clicking on it opens a popup window: When I try to open a popup window for the first time after the page loaded, I can do it manually, but Water does not open it, though no error is reported by Watir itself. There is an error in Javascript on the page that says: Member not found. If I open this popup manually first time, then I can use Watir to continue working with the page and it will open this same popup. When our developers tried to debug the error, they saw, that it is connected to using an activeElement in Javascript, they thought that, may be, Watir does not support some of it's methods. Here is the code that tested it: function activeElementGeneralizor(focusedElement){//TODO release this 'hack'! //test alert("activeElementGeneralizor("+focusedElement+")");//test var message = "originally supported"; // if(!document.activeElement){ try{ alert("activeElement:"+document.activeElement.toString()); document.activeElement=focusedElement;//TSU44 11192006: This may be the code that Watia can not execute... }catch(e){ alert("activeElement error:"+e.description); t alert("activeElement:"+document.activeElement.toString()); // Document.prototype.activeElement = new HTMLElement; // document.activeElement = focusedElement; } message = "modified"; // } //test alert(document.activeElement+"("+message+")"); } When running manually, the alert would point to url; when tested with Watir alert was activeElement:[object] and activeElement error: Member not found. I do need to open this popup in order to run tests, so if you know, what can be done, please, help me. Thank you, Galina Maralina. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello, I encountered a difference between Watir behavior and manual clicking on the link that is a problem for automated testing of the hole application. Here is my button/link/image, clicking on it opens a popup window: When I try to open a popup window for the first time after the page loaded, I can do it manually, but Water does not open it, though no error is reported by Watir itself. There is an error in Javascript on the page that says: Member not found. If I open this popup manually first time, then I can use Watir to continue working with the page and it will open this same popup. When our developers tried to debug the error, they saw, that it is connected to using an activeElement in Javascript, they thought that, may be, Watir does not support some of it's methods. Here is the code that tested it: function activeElementGeneralizor(focusedElement){//TODO release this 'hack'! //test alert("activeElementGeneralizor("+focusedElement+")");//test var message = "originally supported"; // if(!document.activeElement){ try{ alert("activeElement:"+document.activeElement.toString()); document.activeElement=focusedElement;//TSU44 11192006: This may be the code that Watia can not execute... }catch(e){ alert("activeElement error:"+e.description); t alert("activeElement:"+document.activeElement.toString()); // Document.prototype.activeElement = new HTMLElement; // document.activeElement = focusedElement; } message = "modified"; // } //test alert(document.activeElement+"("+message+")"); } When running manually, the alert would point to url; when tested with Watir alert was activeElement:[object] and activeElement error: Member not found. I do need to open this popup in order to run tests, so if you know, what can be done, please, help me. Thank you, Galina Maralina. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Okay, sorry, I jumped the gun on rubyscript2exe. I managed to get a full Ruby 1.8.5 install on my XP Embedded box, and I'm getting intermittent segmentation faults with that too. So rubyscript2exe is just faithfully producing the same bug that's in Ruby itself. Is anyone else using Ruby on Windows XP Embedded? I'm testing on a MaxTerm thin client. -Danny From forum-watir-users at openqa.org Tue Nov 28 22:19:02 2006 From: forum-watir-users at openqa.org (Vince) Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 21:19:02 CST Subject: [Wtr-general] screenshots In-Reply-To: <62685743.1162342490665.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> Message-ID: <63128257.1164770767861.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> egil, I've been putting recent "downtime" between my primary tasks to polish up my homegrown testing app, and the state of the page at the time of errors is pretty key. My original idea was to leave the bad page up and refresh the IE object to a new instance for the continuation of the test suite, but that was sloppy at the very least, and fell far short of the greater goals of the app... Anyway, getting off topic. Some comments on the code: 1) right after you require Watir, you have [i]KCODE = 'UTF8' require 'jcode' [/i] I've commented this out and looked around, but have no idea what it's for... can you enlighten me? 2) For the file naming, you've got yourself set up for an infinite loop given enough of those files being written. I use numeric incrementation in my files in a few places, and have tended towards this snippet: [i]filenumber = "000" file_name = "#{basename}_#{filenumber}" while File.exists?(file_name) filenumber.succ! file_name = "#{basename}_#{filenumber}" end[/i] This way, if you run over the numeric character field you've given yourself, the field just gets bigger. In places where the actual text of the file name is less important to me, I increment the entire string rather than just the number. It makes for some funky looking file names, but like I said, they aren't important to me in those places. 3) I'm not sure how, but the pages that result from this code are actually cleaner looking than those resulting from a manual copy/paste of the "view source". Bravo. Other than that, I've hijacked this code in it's entirety and am cannibalizing it into my own. I've separated the file writing functionality from the page capturing functionality - On an error, I catch (rescue) the exception and pass the exception type, exception text, call stack, and offending pages code to an error logging class (which then constructs a simple html error log and viewer for later review and investigation) and re-raise the error exactly as it was received for the sake of the testrunner. My only other question would be if you able to point me in the direction of some decent documentation for getHTML - my searches have been rather fruitless thus far. I played with screen_capture, but at the end of the day an image just doesn't cut it (app errors handled in the product I am testing display with the error messages hidden, and require a knowing javascript event to view), and if my devs turn out a particularly bad build, I'd much rather have a few thousand html files than images any day. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=4907&messageID=15308#15308 From forum-watir-users at openqa.org Wed Nov 29 08:49:03 2006 From: forum-watir-users at openqa.org (san) Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 07:49:03 CST Subject: [Wtr-general] Can't Control JavaScript PopUp Window....

Charley, As far as I know, I do not have autoit installed (unless watir installed it silently). 1.5.1.1081 works perfectly. I can reproduce that error message with 1.5.1.1100 and 1.5.1.1127 every time. It gets interesting if I install multiple versions of watir (gem installations only). If 1081 is installed with 1100 or 1127, ie.minimizeworks. If only 1100 or 1127 are installed, I get that error message. I ran core_tests.rb and for mentioned versions and only 1127 ends with message about errors and failures: "193 tests, 1032 assertions, 5 failures, 9 errors" (I can send you all of output if it helps). By the way, I have ie6 and xp pro sp2. -- Zeljko Filipin zeljkofilipin.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I uninstalled 1.5.1.1100 and installed 1.5.1.1127 because 1.5.1.1100 was not allowing the script to handle pop-up windows.

Semantics, but you need to give ctr a starting value, otherwise you're adding 1 to nil, which isn't going to fly. Look at your if statement - it is looking at ie.link().exists? for each link on the page. This is going to result in a zero if the link does not appear, and a count of all links on the page if the link appears once or more since a single instance of the link is going to mean that no matter how many times you look at the page, you're always going to find it again - Not the count I believe you're looking for. Let's try this: item_search=/blah.com/ ctr = 0 ie.links.each do |l| ans=l.href =~ item_search if ans ctr = ctr+1 end end --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5543&messageID=15421#15421 From forum-watir-users at openqa.org Thu Nov 30 13:39:04 2006 From: forum-watir-users at openqa.org (Vince) Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 12:39:04 CST Subject: [Wtr-general] looking for span class In-Reply-To: <53153414.1164910651079.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> Message-ID: <49807613.1164912006839.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> usha,

This is your second (well, first of 2 to be specific) thread asking essentially the same thing. Hopefully my post in the other thread here was helpful, though this post does shed some light on a new angle of your question: ie.links will not expose every link on the page, only those accessible from the top level object ie. If you want to count links down through frames and the like, some more work is going to be required to recursively drill down through the levels, counting on the way.

Now, just as some general advice, try to be more descriptive with what you are trying to do, as well as how you are trying to do it. Had I not responded to your previous question, I would have been at a complete loss for what you were looking for here.

Are you trying to find text, or spans?

If you're looking for text, then:

search_term = /Blah Links/ ctr = ie.text =~ search_term

=~ returns a count of the times the regex matched, so it's perfect for finding instances...

If you're looking for the number of spans containing a string, then :

ctr = 0
search_term = /Blah Links/
ie.spans.each |s| do
if s.text =~ search_term
ctr = ctr + 1v end
end

It's going to take some getting used to, but you should really try to fish through the documentation for Watir here to get a better feel for what you have available.

Does anybody know of a way to accomplish what I wish with JUST Watir? Since you've rejected the port of Watir that works with Firefox, it looks like the answer is that you can't do what you want with Watir. I'm not familiar with FireWatir. Are you thinking that Firefox might have an API that can be accessed without installing a plugin? Using automation always has the potential to perturb the results. You have to assess what the risk of this happening is, and how much you're willing to pay to mitigate that risk. For example, you could choose to use a GUI automation tool to automate Firefox. That's a pretty expensive alternative, IMHO, that probably exceeds the risk exposure of installing a plugin in most contexts. -Danny From forum-watir-users at openqa.org Thu Nov 30 17:00:10 2006 From: forum-watir-users at openqa.org (usha) Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 16:00:10 CST Subject: [Wtr-general] looking for span class In-Reply-To: <63304797.1164916100290.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> Message-ID: <47575149.1164924054301.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> absolutely! with minor typos corrected : ctr = 0 search_term = /Blah Links/ ie.spans.each do |s| if s.text =~ search_term ctr = ctr + 1 end end Thank you --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5545&messageID=15442#15442 From herr.kreutzer at googlemail.com Thu Nov 30 17:37:07 2006 From: herr.kreutzer at googlemail.com (Christian Kreutzer) Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 23:37:07 +0100 Subject: [Wtr-general] I want to use Watir to test Firefox and Safari In-Reply-To: <51009756.1164916267478.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> References: <51009756.1164916267478.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> Message-ID: you should give selenium-rc (remote control) a try. there's no need for Installing components on the system under test and it can be scripted in ruby, python, perl, java and c#. it does handle cross browser testing pretty well...

I think you can also use the same Watir install for both vanilla IE testing as well as FireWatir, but this involves manually replacing a few watir files with development versions (IIRC). It does take a few extra minutes to set up and get used to using, but FireWatir does work. That said, I haven't been able to make serious use of it yet because of the slow execution speed.
