Hi Zeljko,

> I am using Arachno Ruby for two years

Could you please tell me what version of the ruby interpreter
you are using with Arachno Ruby to allow the debug to run?

Error msg informs me I can use the release version of 1.8.5, but this
is not the case.

currently using 1.8.5-22

Message-ID: <29773784.1251175505639230.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Hi,

Is it possible get physical location of an html element relative to screen ?
Since watir can't drive the mouse, I want this location so that I can go to that location and do a physical click through a thridpary tool like autoit.
I don't want to do it through fire_event since it can't fire right mouse click events.

Thanks.

Message-ID: <614914.51348.qm@web7801.mail.in.yahoo.com>

I have a button in my web page, the relevant snippet of html is as follows:

<div>&nbsp;<br />
<button type="submit">Sign In</button>
</div>

This button can be click using watir by ie.button(:value,'Sign In').click, but in case of FireWatir, the same syntax gives error.

The Error is as follows :

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.0.1-mswin32/./MozillaBaseElement.rb:739:in `assert_exists': Unable to locate object, using value and Sign In (FireWatir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.0.1-mswin32/./MozillaBaseElement.rb:897:in `click'

Please, help me in clicking this button using FireWatir
Thanks in advance
Vikash

Hi Vikash,



Thanks for raising the issue. We are working on FireWatir to remove all the
gaps it has with Watir so that there is no need to change scripts.



For now you can click the button using text and type properties, this works
on Watir also.



ff.button(:text, "Sign In")

ff.button(:type, "submit")



Regards,

Prema

Subject: [Wtr-general] Assert Dates?
Message-ID: <33572816.4421175525446337.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Hello All, 

I have been working on trying to assert whether a date range is displayed on screen, but have run in to problems and was hoping someone could give me some advice. I have the dates stored in the format dd/mm/yy

I want to use a function which takes an arrival date and a departure date as two parameters and checks against data on screen which is in the format "arrivalDate - departureDate (x)" where x can be any number. This means that I am going to use a Regex to try and match the parameters to part of the text on screen, not taking in to account the last number.

def checkDates(arrDate, depDate)
  myDates = arrDate + " - " + depDate
  begin
    assert(
      $mainF.contains_text(/myDates/))
    rescue => e
      # Do Stuff
    end

This code does not seem to be working, and I think that the reason is the date uses "/" characters which are used to Denote a Regex expression.
If I use a constant '01/01/07 - 01/01/08' there is no problem, but I need some way to deal with the dates in the parameters.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

PMF.

I think you can do a right click by

ie.button(:id, 'xx').fire_event('onContextMenu')

if that doesnt work, this might be what you need to help get the coordinates

instead of explitily asserting the existance of all the elements, Id try and come up with an easier way, ( this probably wont work, but it might, and may give you some ideas )


def username;$ie.text_field(:name, 'user_name');end
  def password;$ie.text_field(:name, 'password');end
  def remember_me;$ie.checkbox(:name, 'remember_me');end


def existance_check( *elems )


    &elems.each do |el|
      
        raise "Didnt exist" unless eval(el.to_s.exists?)
    end

end


def test_it
    assert_nothing_raised( existance_check :username , :password)
end

escape the slashes:   /01\/01\/07/ - 01\/01\/08/

That said, anytime I deal with dates, I usually try to make them
actual date objects, then I can assert interesting things about when
stuff happens.  I made a demo, I hope this helps.

Thanks for the demo Chris, I haven't messed with dates beyond the basics, this was a nice way to get brought up to speed.

While my first thoughts were along the lines of Chris, I think I would go with the string compare. It seems, in his case, that the level of complexity isn't needed. I can see many situation wheres having the option of using real dates would be useful, but the case for simplicity over 'correctness' needs to be made too.

Just my 2c, thanks again for the sample code!

Looks good.

In your setup I would wrap $ie with a global function (internet_explorer or some such). I would then use that global function through out your class files. This could save you a headache down the road :)

Message-ID: <21832300.831175585287077.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Hello people,

Our application has got several frames.  The controls need to be accesses through these frames like 
'$ie.frame('Detail').link(:text,'Disclosure').click'.  Before certain statements of this type, I want to check whether the particular frame is present in the current page or not.  How do I do that?  The '.exists?' method does not seem to work for a frame.  If we check a frame, which is not present in the current page,  through the '.exists?' method, Watir throws an exception saying "Unable to locate the given frame".

Thanks for your time,
Vijay

Hey, Able to drag the code up to here.

    def get_location_on_screen
        assert_exists
        rects = ole_object.getClientRects().item
        x = rects.left
        y = rects.top
        width = rects.right - rects.left
        height = rects.bottom - rects.top
        puts "BEFORE #{x} #{y} #{width} #{height} "
        #ClientToWindow call
        @container.ie._invoke(301, [x, y], [WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_BYREF|WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_I4, WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_BYREF|WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_I4])
        x = WIN32OLE::ARGV[0]
        y = WIN32OLE::ARGV[1]
        puts "AFTER  #{x} #{y} #{width} #{height} "
    end 

GetClientRects method returns the valid values.
But when I make a call to ClientToWindow call its returning inaccurate values. If possbile somebody look into this code. BTW This function goes in to Element class.

Thanks.
Bye.

Thanks for your replies,
The date guide was really good, but as it is only a String comparison, I did not want to over complicate the code.
I have also tried the other two suggestions, and have still not been able to get the match to work.
I think that I might have to use an escape. I have tried the CGI.escape which works quite well, and picks up the / character by converting it to a %2F, but to use this method is overkill really as it is designed for all HTML characters, so I am thinking that I just need a simple line of code to replace all instances of / with %2F

Hi,

Am v new to Watir/Ruby, so probably a simple question for someone.
I'm trying to put a loop in a script where it checks for a link on a page, if the link isn't there, it clicks on the next page button, looks for the link again, and the process repeats until it finds the link, and then clicks on it.

Can anyone help?

TIA

Now that's crazy talk.  :)  Seriously, look at this code:

################################
arr_date = "xxx01/01/07xxxx"

if arr_date =~ /01\/01\/07/
  puts "got a regex match"
  end

It'd be easier to help if you would post a) the HTML involved and b)
the Watir code you've tried so far.

Sorry, probably my fault for not being clear about how new I am to this.

I want the code to do the following things:
1. Check on page for a link.
2. If link not there, press "Next page"
3. If link there, click on it.
4. When next page reached (if step 2 followed), repeat the action of looking for link/clicking next.

Am playing around with code, and have come up with following:

link = ie.link(:url, "http://www.freeuk.com")
    until link.exists
    ie.goto("http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=freeuk&hl=en&start=10&sa=N")
    
    if link.exists = true
      ie.goto(link)
    end

Am totally aware that this will not work, but it may give my helpers more idea of the details I want!!

Thankyou all in advance, and please help!

Aha, so you want to click Google's "Next" button?  Take a look at
this, it might give you some ideas:
http://testingjeff.wordpress.com/2007/01/27/creating-methods-on-the-flyand-bugs-in-google-phonebook/

Also, if you are unsure how to address a particular page element, take
a look at the "unittests" folder in the watir directory.  It will be
in C:/ruby/lib/ruby... somewhere, depending on whether you did a gem
install or used the one-click installer.

I am unsure why IE is a nested class of the module watir

I was thinking of creating this object hierarchy

IE
ObjectMap
Test

Inheriting the IE class from the ObjectMap class.

TW is about to release this thing called "Mingle" to manage agile
projects.  Today they announced an upcoming tool for testers:

You shouldn't have to invoke the garbage collector manually as it runs
automatically, most often when ruby is allocating memory and it's internal
memory tracker says there isn't any available or if allocating memory fails.

Subject: [Wtr-general] win32/process question
Message-ID: <28432298.10011175632697830.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

I'm having problems with the win32/process Process.create() method.  The following link is very useful...

http://textsnippets.com/posts/show/829

The issue, I think, is with finding the file to launch with the Process.create() method.  

[jclicker.rb]
require "watir"

# Auto Popup Handler. Posted by brad at longbrothers.net
#
require 'win32ole'  # already included if you use 'require watir'

begin
	autoit = WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control')    
	loop do
		autoit.ControlClick("Microsoft Internet Explorer",'', 'OK')
		autoit.ControlClick("Security Information",'', '&Yes')
		autoit.ControlClick("Security Alert",'', '&Yes')
		sleep(5)
	end
   
rescue Exception => e
	puts e
end


If I run this script directly 'ruby jclicker.rb', then any javascript popup windows will "magically" click away.  It works really cool!  However, if I use the win32/process library to create a process while running a test, then the popup handler doesn't run.

[runtest.rb]
require 'win32/process'
$pid = Process.create(
	:app_name => 'ruby jclicker.rb',
	:creation_flags  => Process::DETACHED_PROCESS
).process_id
at_exit{ Process.kill(9,$pid) }

class TC_NewTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

...

end


It's as if the process is not getting created.  The jclicker.rb script is in the same directory as the test program.  But, the clicker doesn't run.  Any hints are greatly appreciated.

The following combination works quite well...

Ruby 1.8.5 + watir 1.5.1.1158.

if you make you jclicker.rb write a file or something in the loop, then when you run it as a process, you should see the extra files get created.

The problem may also be something to do with the stdout and stderr of ruby when running as a process.

I tried using the process for a different purpose to you, and gave up. 

console windows may look ugly, but they make it easy to see what the problems are...

Hi ,
I had asked for the stable version of Watir and Ruby becuse i was getting
the Access Denied error with the
latest versions .
But when i installed Ruby 1.8.5  and  watir 1.5.1.1158 i still keep getting
the same error .
I think i m not installing it the right way ,please go through the following
steps and let me
know if i m going the right way ,

1)Install Ruby 1.8.5 using the one click installer for Ruby .
2)Install Watir 1.4.1 using the one click installer .
3)Extract the watir gem for 1.5.1.1158 using gem install watir command .

Kindly let me know if i m missing something .

Thanks,
Sayali

It seems to be what I have already got after combining TestLink, Mantis,
Docuwiki, Subversion & Scumbug.
Ofcourse my setup needs a bit of integration efforts :(

2)Install Watir 1.4.1 using the one click installer .

when you are installing the watir 1.5.1.1158, watir 1.4.1 is not required. You can uninstall it. Just download the latest watir Gem and follow the steps provided with it and install according to it. I hope this helps.

scripts, when capture the active window using screen_capture("test.jpg",
true), it will capture the console window rather than the Internet
Explorer, how to make IE as active window and bring it forward by
watir/ruby script?

Hi Vikash,

Sorry, I tested the code with the new version that I am working on.
We will be releasing the next version, around next week-end.
For now you can copy (replace) the files I have attached,  in the firewatir
directory.
The path is normally like "C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\firewatir-
1.0.1-mswin32"

Hope this wil lresolve the problem, untill next week.

Reagrds,
Prema

Hi all, 
  Now i am able to click on the alert popup with watir, i followed the code form the FAQ's but later i copied the whole code into another machine, i am able to run all the test cases except the alert popup, that is not working in another machine, so wat mightbe the problem?? Its giving an error "timed out"
This is my code,

    require 'watir\contrib\enabled_popup' 
    #
    def startClicker( button , waitTime= 9, user_input=nil )
      # get a handle if one exists
      hwnd = $ie.enabled_popup(waitTime)  
      if (hwnd)  # yes there is a popup

Dear all,

 

Can we configure the watir execution speed?  

For example, wait 3 seconds for each step when people want to observe a
testing process, and wait 0.1s just for finishing the whole process.

 

Regards,

Jason

Hi Jason,

Try

ie.set_slow_speed
ie.set_fast_speed

If you want more control (faster, slower) you can modify that methods.

Does that combination allow use of the modal_dialog method? I recall
reading that one needed Ruby 1.8.2 to use Watir's  modal code. Did I
misunderstand something?

so my example was kind of incomplete. I really only meant it as an example. Try this instead.

def link_there?
  link_text = "Click Me"
  return @ie.link(:text , link_text).exists?
end 

@ie=Watir::IE.attach('www.google.com')

while 1  # add something here to stop infinite loop
  if link_there?
    @ie.link(:text , link_text).click?
  else
    @ie.link(:text , "Next").click
  end
end

You're correct, modal_dialog works with 1.8.2 currently. The access denied
problems may be due to frames/cross site scripting issue. In the latest code
in svn, we're swallowing the access denied exceptions for better or worse
until a more permanent solution is in place.

I'm running Ruby 1.8.2 and Watir 1.5.1.1164.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Accessing Nested Tables
In-Reply-To: <40229333.1172617206030.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>
Message-ID: <28997736.3181175711996207.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

This is all fine if you don't care about "hard coding" your table indexes or don't expect your page layout to change.

Here is how I did it without using hard coded indexes.
(Note: use unique data that will get you the table you want.  If there are multiple tables nested within an outer table you may have to use different data to get to the nested table you want)

*EXAMPLE*:  On my page, table #9 is nested within Table #8.  So using the above code I could do this:
    t=ie.table(:index,8).table(:index,1)

However, If I want to access the nested table by a text value (or other just substitute other object)

    outer_table = @ie.tables.find {|t| t.text =~ /#{data}/i }
    nested_table = outer_table.tables.find {|t| t.text =~ /#{data}/i }  +<=== this can be repeated for multi-nesting+
    r=nested_table.rows.find{|r| r.text =~ /#{data}/i }

Now I have the Row the Item I was looking for is in.  I can now do what I want with that row.

Hope this was helpful.

*EXAMPLE 2*:  
  Page has table #4 is nested within Table #5, Table #6, and Table#9. 
  Table #6 nests Table #7 and Table #8.  

  I want a cell in table #8.  However, tables #5 and #6 both contain the #{data} that I am looking for.  So I will use #{unique} data to specify table #6

  So using the above code I could do this:
    t=ie.table(:index,4).table(:index,2).table(:index,2)

Heres how I would do it:

    outer_table = @ie.tables.find {|t| t.text =~ /#{data}/i }                    <== Table #4
    nested_table = outer_table.tables.find {|t| t.text =~ /#{unique}/i }    <== Table #6
    nested_table = nested_table.tables.find {|t| t.text =~ /#{data}/i }     <== Table #8
    r=nested_table.rows.find{|r| r.text =~ /#{data}/i }                           <== Row in Table #8 that has #{data}

Message-ID: <24381808.4831175724787427.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Hello,

I am running into an issue where I am attempting to go to a web page but cannot proceed due to a standard IE window (I believe this is a standard IE window).

test_site = 'http://my_test_site.com'
ie = Watir::IE.new
ie.goto(test_site)

A popup window appears when I attempt ie.goto(test_site) - The popup window is asking me for a username/password in order to access the web page. I have attached the standard language below:

+The server <servername> requires a username and password.+

+Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).+

It seems no matter what I try, I cannot get pass the line - ie.goto(test_site). I looked at using a timeout and could not get past the line - ie.goto(test_site). 

Any direction on how to proceed would be apprecipated.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,

You are not going to get any further until you supply a username and 
password.  You cannot simply wait it out.  You will have to attach the 
popup, enter a username and password and click the button to continue.

Hi all,

I am new to ruby, and have searched these forums for answers, but have not found anything that seems to work or help me. (including links to FAQ's which do not appear to be available anymore)

Situation:
I am writing ruby/watir scripts to automate tests against a website/application. On one page there are a date field and  a "Search" button.after entering wrong dae in date field a popup alert opens and display message please enter valid date this dialog box also has a "OK" button.

Problem:
I am unable to gain access to the java alert dialog to gain control of the button and click it. The modal dialog have a :title,"Microsofte Internet Explorer".but error comes unable to locate with window with title "Microsoft Internet Explorer" . So my tests "hang" while it waits for the button to be clicked before it can continue on.

I also do not have access to the webcode (java code) to change it, but I know that the dialog is simply invoked with 'alert("<text>")'.

Things I have tried (with no success...)
$ie = IE.attach(:title, "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
        $ie.button(:id, '2').click

        #
        # Do forever - assumes popups could occur anywhere/anytime in your application.
        #loop do
            # Look for window with given title. Give up after 1 second.
          #  ret = autoit.<nowiki>WinWait</nowiki>('Popup Window Title', '', 1)
            #
            # If window found, send appropriate keystroke (e.g. {enter}, {Y}, {N}).
            #if (ret==1) then autoit.Send('{enter}') end
            #
            # Take a rest to avoid chewing up cycles and give another thread a go.

Here is one way:

def click_links ie
  unless ie.link(:url, "http://www.freeuk.com").exists?
    ie.link(:value, 'Next page').click
    click_links ie
  else
    ie.link(:url, "http://www.freeuk.com").click
   end
end

All of the Watir classes are in the Watir module. This is to avoid 
collisions with classes you may be using from other packages. Watir 
tries to be a good citizen.

If you look at other Ruby libraries, you will see that this is a common 
arrangement.

Hi Shalini,
 
Here is the method to click the OK button on a java alert
 

#Put this method in your script:
def startClicker( button , waitTime = 3)   w = WinClicker.new   longName = $ie.dir.gsub("/" , "\\" )   shortName = w.getShortFileName(longName)   c = "start ruby #{shortName}\\watir\\clickJSDialog.rb #{button} #{waitTime} "   puts "Starting #{c}"   w.winsystem(c)   w=nil end
 
#Then call it right before you click the button (or whatever) thatcauses the javascript popup to display:
startClicker("OK" , 3)$ie.button("Submit").click
 
Thanks & Regards,
Anupama

Hi
 
Try this piece of code. I found this code on Waitr QA forums and I tried it in my suite. It worked
 
def startClicker( OK, waitTime = 3)   w = WinClicker.new   longName = $ie.dir.gsub("/" , "\\" )   shortName = w.getShortFileName(longName)   c = "start ruby #{shortName}\\watir\\clickJSDialog.rb #{button} #{waitTime} "   puts "Starting #{c}"   w.winsystem(c)   w=nil end

Hi,

I wonder if anyone could shed some light on this?

I am getting this error:

'method_missing': document (WIN32OLERuntimeError)

that lies @ie.document

I am using 1.4.1.

Here is my code

<snip>

require 'watir'
include Watir
require 'test\unit'

$ie = Watir::IE.new
def browser;$ie;end

module Login
  USERNAME = browser.text_field(:name, 'user_name')
  PASSWORD = browser.text_field(:name, 'password')
  REMEMBER_ME = browser.checkbox(:name, 'remember_me')
  SIGN_IN = browser.button(:value, 'Sign in')
end

module Mission
  LOG_OUT = browser.link(:text, /Log-out/)
end

class TC_Mission < Test::Unit::TestCase
  include Login


  def setup
    browser.goto('www.something.com')
    browser.bring_to_front
    browser.maximize
  end

 def teardown
   Mission::LOG_OUT.click
   browser.close
  end

  def test_1
    Login::USERNAME.set('aidy')
    Login::PASSWORD.set('password')
    Login::REMEMBER_ME.set
    #unit test assertations
    assert(REMEMBER_ME.enabled?)

Are we all using the DOM method .getElementsByTagName to get for example,
a level 2 heading?

return document.getElementsByTagName('h2')

Should we refactor these methods to make a more abstract method

show_labels
show_spans
show_pres
etc?

Thanks

In Watir 1.5 there is support for adding elements fairly easily so that you
shouldn't have to call getElementsByTagName directly. We haven't added
headings yet, but most other common elements are supported and easily
extended, you could put the following in a file and include it in your
scripts:

module Watir

  class H2   < NonControlElement
    TAG = 'H2'
  end

  class H2s  < ElementCollections
    include Watir::CommonCollection
    def element_class; H2; end
  end

 module Container

    def h2(how, what)
      return H2.new(self, how, what)
    end

    def h2s
      return H2s.new(self)
    end
end
end

ie.h2s.show

Something like this:

$ie.form(:name,'myform').button(:value, 'Submit').click

You can take a look at the unittests for watir in form_test.rb, there are
plenty of examples there.

Hi Sayali,

Can you post html of that form, your watir code, and error message?

Hi, Zeljko,

 

         Follow your suggestion, I find the methods set_fast_speed & set_slow_speed, and can control the script execution speed. 

I want to make it could be configurable in testing script, so write the following code in my test script,

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

$FAST_SPEED = false

class Watir::IE

         @@attach_timeout = 5

         DEFAULT_TYPING_SPEED = 0.2

         DEFAULT_SLEEP_TIME = 0.2

end

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

 

And the above code could take effect, but there will be two warnings output in console, 

../include/RESILIENCE_CLASS.rb:36: warning: already initialized constant DEFAULT_TYPING_SPEED

../include/RESILIENCE_CLASS.rb:37: warning: already initialized constant DEFAULT_SLEEP_TIME

 

It says I change the assign a new value to initialized constant. 

 

If I want to make those two values could configurable in testing script as well as make them conform to the watir/ruby syntax, is there a reasonable way to eliminate this message?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jason

Hi Jason,

Try

ie.set_slow_speed
ie.set_fast_speed

If you want more control (faster, slower) you can modify that methods.

Yes, thank you for your help.

 

I find if ie.bring_to_front is before ie.goto(), then the window console will be brought in front.

And if it is after ie.goto() just as you write, then the ie window will be brought in the front.

 

Can anyone explain what the difference between those two is?

 

Regards,

Jason

Hi Zeljko,
Here is the html that is generated,


<form action="/servlet/acedispatcher" method="get">

<input type="Radio" checked  name="parId0" value="0"  onClick="submit()">
one two

  <form action="/servlet/acedispatcher" method="get">

<input type="Radio"   name="parId1"   value="0"  onClick="submit()"> aa
<input type="Radio"   name="parId1"   value="1"  onClick="submit()"> bb
<input type="Radio"   name="parId1"   value="2"  onClick="submit()"> cc

     </form>

<input type="Radio"  name="parId0"  value="1"  onClick="submit()"> two three


 <form action="/servlet/acedispatcher" method="get">

<input type="Radio"   name="parId1"   value="0"  onClick="submit()"> aa
<input type="Radio"   name="parId1"   value="1"  onClick="submit()"> bb
<input type="Radio"   name="parId1"   value="2"  onClick="submit()"> cc

     </form>

<input type="Radio"  name="parId0"  value="2"  onClick="submit()"> two three


</form>
 In this case the parId0 parameter name is repeated twice in the same code.
Once it is displayed as individual radio buttons and once it is displayed in
the form of nested,
so when i select the parId0 from the individual parId0 the same radio button
gets selected
in the nested one .


The Watir code i m using is

        $ie.radio(:name,"parId0",0).set
       assert($ie.form(:index ,6).radio(:name , "parId0",0).isSet?)


       $ie.radio(:name,"parId0",1).set
       assert($ie.form(:index ,6).radio(:name , "parId0",1).isSet?)

the error i m getting when i run this code is

1) Error:
test_cxipvar(TC_CxIpVar):
Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: Unable to locate object, using
name and parId0
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1158/./watir.rb:2416:in
`assert_exists'
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1158/./watir.rb:4149:in
`isSet?'

Please go through the above and let me know how can i code in watir the
right way
for this.

Thanks,
Sayali

Hi Vamsi,

If you have this html

<select>
<option value="one">one</option>
<option value="two">two</option>
</select>

this is how you can find what it selected (this is irb session).

irb(main):008:0> selected = ie.select_list(:index, 1).getSelectedItems
=> ["one"]
irb(main):010:0> selected[0]
=> "one"

Hi Sayali,

I got lost. I did not understand what do you want to do. You can not set one
radio button?

Regarding your original post, this is how you can flash all radio buttons in
a form.

ie.form(:index, 1).radios.each { |radio| radio.flash }

Hi Vamsi,

If you have this html

<textarea>some text</textarea>

you can do it like this

irb(main):009:0> "some text" == ie.text_field(:index, 1).text
=> true

The bring to front method acts on the window title. If there's no window
title (you haven't navigated anywhere yet) then it won't bring the window to
the front.

Message-ID: <31193379.4091175889659660.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Upon further review...
I finally got to the book and gave it a proper reading.  (Although I still need to go back and do some of the excercises)
I was inaccurate in my initial comments based on a superficial browsing of the book a couple months back.  Mea culpa.

The first half is a lot of review, but there are definitely some nuggets and neat tricks in there, many he points out and others jump out at you.  He does a good job of illustrating test-first scripting for example, he shows Ruby short-cuts and nuances that are cool but not necessarily obvious, etc.

The middle chapters on project organization, packaging, building etc. are very valuable and definitely helped me see how I could reorganize some of the projects I've done to make them easier to mangage, enhance, and share with others.  I look forward to using his project template utilities and seeing what they do.

The last few chapters are really pretty cool -- I'm looking forward to reading them again and working on the exercises to catch everything but he hits on some slick stuff.

And although it didn't meet my initial expectations, which as I've now learned were off-base from the book's intentions, I found it to be a very good resource on the craft of scripting and that it gives you a lot of tools and concepts to apply to your test scripting projects.
  
I would recommend it to both newbies and experienced ruby programmers, as Chris McMahon pointed out 
"Even if you know this stuff, there are surprising little
bits that will still probably take you by surprise, unless you are
very, very good at Ruby." (and even then I bet :-)

And lastly, the book has some good philosophy on scripting and testing in general.  He provides a lot of insight from an experienced point of view that I found helpful and enlightening.

Message-ID: <34864407.181175939833140.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Hello Zeljko Filipin,

I am not able to find out the image.  So, I will post the '.html' of a link, which gives a tooltip when the mouse is hovered over it.  The 'link' is enclosed by a 'span' and the tooltip is present as the 'title' of the span.  But how can I make sure that the tooltip, no matter whether it is present in the title of the enclosing 'span' or not, gets displayed on the screen, when the mouse is hovered over the link.

a.   The 'html' of the table that contains the link is:

<TABLE class=listQT cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 width="100%" border=0><THEAD>

<TBODY>

<TR class=listBodyQT>

<TD class=listCellQT><INPUT type=checkbox value=28 name=selectedNotes> </TD>

<TD class=listCellQT><SPAN class=listCellQT title="Note from Yolanda Dave.This is a public note.This is an additional note from Christina Bergman"><A href="/iam/quicktools/notes/Edit.do?objectId=28&amp;Component.classAlias=Invention&amp;Component.objectId=1528&amp;compress=false&amp;Component.attributeName=null">bergc1 / 4/5/2007 </A></SPAN></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

b.  The actual link is 'bergc1 / 4/5/2007'.

c.  The tooltip that will be displayed when the mouse is hovered over this link is:  

The html of the table that contains the link is: 'Note from Yolanda Dave.This is a public note.This is an additional note from Christina Bergman' (you may see this tooltip as the 'title' of the 'span' that encloses the link)

I sincerely hope that this information would help you.

Thanks,
Maloy.

I guess the question is for Bret 

[1] What are the pros and cons of naming a method bring_to_front rather than BringToFront.

Thanks.

Hi Fred,

   It's standard ruby coding conventions, this style of naming is used in
ruby not camel cased as is prevalent in Java and c/c++. Take a look at the
Ruby coding conventions doc:

http://pub.cozmixng.org/~the-rwiki/rw-cgi.rb?cmd=view;name=RubyCodingConvention

The naming conventions lists naming conventions for classes/modules and
methods, variables, constants.  Class names are constants in Ruby internally
and must begin with an upper case letter.

Try the following:

class dog
  def bark
    puts 'woof'
  end
end

d = dog.new
d.bark

You'll get a compilation error that class/module name must be a CONSTANT -
must begin with an upper case letter. Method names therefore begin with a
lower case letter to differentiate and use underscores to separate words not
camel case. This matches variable names which in some cases - attributes
notably - are basically interchangeable.

It' in the FAQ under handling Javascript popups (the 3rd entry) and also
littered throughout previous posts on the mailing list:

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

The second method in the FAQ works well for most people.

Hi,

The page actually contains frame. You can open the page in Firefox and
access appropriate frame. You can view the HTML of the frame and write the
script accordingly somewhat like this:
ie.frame(:name, "frame name").link(:text, "some text")

Hi all ,
 
For some project requirements , I need to setup WATIR to run in cygwin
environment. 
I have got RUBY+WATIR installed in only windows environement. This
windows only environment is working fine with the libraries that we have
written for our framework.
 
So , if I need to use WATIR module from the cygwin environment , please
let me know wat I need to do of the below
 
1) change the environement variables in cygwin , for using the same ruby
installed in windows 
2)  let me know , if we can install the watir gem in the cygwin ruby
environment.

I have a field in the form which is the first field in the form. It has some default data present on it when the form opens. But when i call that form through ruby/watir it has accept  the value which i provide through the script ie the value which i provide should overwrite the data on the field.

Ex: From date : 03/01/2007 (default), i want to overwrite this value with 02/01/2007

Message-ID: <886136.67616.qm@web94314.mail.in2.yahoo.com>

Hi,

Following methods i want to call in another method

def assertButton
assert($ie.button(:caption, "Click Me").enabled?)
end

def assertLink
assert($ie.link(:text, "Click Me").exists?
end

def assertTextfield
assert($ie.text_field(:name, "field1").exists?)
end

def assertRbutton
assert($ie.radio(:value,"radio button").isSet?
end

def check_controls
assertButton
assertLink
assertTextfield
assertRbutton
end

The problem i am facing here is, in check_controls method if assertLink method fails, it wont executes the next step of code just it comes out of the method. But what i wanted is even if assertLink method fails it should execute the remaining methods (or next step of code)i.e, assertTextfield and assertRbutton

Please help me in this regard,

Thanks in Advance

Hi Vamsi,

  It would help if you included some html code for what you're looking to
find. The basic syntax is this:
value = ie.table(:name, 'mytable')[1][3].text

That is, get the text that stored in the first row, 3rd column of a table
with a name attribute of mytable and assign it to a variable, in this case
value. There are more examples in the unit tests, table_test.rb.
