Here is a brief code snippet from one of my scripts. I will explain it in detail. $objWatirBrowser.image(:id, "menu_SearchInventory").fireEvent("onMouseOver") # Mouse over the menu $objWatirBrowser.textField(:id, "nav_new_vsZipCode").set($objProperties.strCurrentZipCode) # Set the zip code $objWatirBrowser.link(:id, "nav_new_vsZipCode_a").click # Click on the Next image $objWatirBrowser is an instance or object of IE. You probably have something similar already. The image I am referencing on the first line is an image that represents my menu, maybe you have a div instead or something else, then change it to what you need. The fireEvent method after that causes the browser to think that there is a mouse cursor over the menu. This results in making the menu appear or drop down. On the second line I fill in a field that is located on my menu. This is pretty atypical (not normal), but you can do that if you need to. On the third line I am clicking on a link that is in my menu again. I hope that this may help you somewhat in answering your question. Basically the steps I've taken here are: 1.

I have a question that concerns dynamically generated html tags and how to reference them. In a specific frame, a certain operation creates a new object. This object was given a name by my automation tool to make it unique and recognizable by my tool.

I can reference the object using ...image( :id,'imgTreeNodePlusMinus_8158' ) which is a product generated identifier which is a value that I cannot predict. What I want to use is the identifier that my tool generates, in this case 'A0MGdyn0.78108587205286'.

The html for the object is:

Active Element: [SPAN], Frame: [fraNavigation], Index: [150] class=DATAZONE-TREE-NODE-TEXT id=spnNodeText_8158 onmouseover=treeItemMouseOver(); style="COLOR: #7d69d6; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" onclick=navToASPPageForNode(); onmouseout=treeItemMouseOut(); udefModuleID="8" udefNodeDesc="A0MGdyn0.78108587205286 for DEV2003DC" udefModuleName="Administration " udefNodeID="158" udefASP="" udefContext="machines" udefNodeTitle="A0MGdyn0.78108587205286" udefHelp="AdminMachMngrMGDynam.htm" udefParentNodeID="7"> A0MGdyn0.78108587205286

The only unchanging identifier for this object is the value 'A0MGdyn0.78108587205286'. Is there a way to reference the object using this value?

I have tried: .image( :id, /A0MGdyn0.78108587205286/ ).click .image( :id, 'A0MGdyn0.78108587205286' ).click .image( :title, 'A0MGdyn0.78108587205286' ).click as well as .span with the above parameters. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5974&messageID=16727#16727 From forum-watir-users at openqa.org Tue Jan 2 23:43:28 2007 From: forum-watir-users at openqa.org (san) Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2007 22:43:28 CST Subject: [Wtr-general] Image Uploading Problem....

First thing, WATIR uses AutoIt to click on JavaScript or Modal dialogs from IE. Second AutoIt isn't flakey - it's very solid, but you need to know how to use it. I have a solution to clicking on modal dialogs, and I just run it when I think there could be a dialog. Here's my method, and I'll explain it in detail. *********************************************************** def intCloseDialog()   # Create an AutoIt object to use to click on open dialogs   objAutoit = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")   # Look for any open dialogs and close them   ans1 = objAutoit.ControlClick("Microsoft Internet Explorer",'', 'OK')   ans2 = objAutoit.ControlClick("Security Information",'', '&Yes')   ans3 = objAutoit.ControlClick("Security Alert",'', '&Yes')   # Release the clicker object   objAutoit = nil   return (ans1 + ans2 + ans3) end # End: def voidCloseDialog() *********************************************************** First off, you'll need to require "win32ole" for this to work. If you have required watir already then, win32ole should also already be required for you. Now on the first line I create a new WIN32OLE object that is associated with the AutoItX3.Control OLE server. On the second line I tell the objAutoit object to click on a control (dialog in this case) with the title Microsoft Internet Explorer and on the button labeled "OK". I do a similar thing on the next two lines, those are just other possible titles for my dialogs. On the fifth line I set my object to nil so that the memory is cleaned up, then I return the result of having clicked on each on the dialogs. What happens here is AutoIt looks for the dialog first and if it exists then it tries to click on the button you told it to, also if it exists then it returns 1. But if it doesn't exist, then ControlClick returns zero. I just use that number for debugging - it is in no way required for anything. I hope that this actual answer helps you out a little more. AutoIt is a very good tool - I use it in another program I've installed called AutoHotkey. It is a macro program for Windows. AutoIt has a lot of capabilities, so don't not use it! :) Nathan --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5802&messageID=16752#16752 From balakrishna.venkatappa at ionidea.com Wed Jan 3 11:25:45 2007 From: balakrishna.venkatappa at ionidea.com (Balakrishna) Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2007 11:25:45 -0500 Subject: [Wtr-general] javascript Menu In-Reply-To: <55776653.1167779150621.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> References: <592392191723562310@unknownmsgid> <55776653.1167779150621.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> Message-ID: <000b01c72f53$d49ae320$7dd0a960$@venkatappa@ionidea.com> Hi Nathan : Thanks for wonderful explanation.

Angrez, I had difficulty using 'attribute_value'. Here is how I used it along with the html code.

HTML Code:


Ruby/Watir Code:
str_value=$browser.span(:id, "MainLogin_UserNameRequired").attribute_value("style")
puts str_value

Output:
#

I do have two solutions that work (see below) but I'm curious of how this might work. One other thing, for others, is the 'attribute_value' does not work for Watir version 1.4; use 1.5.

Zeljko, thanks this worked.

nchristie, thanks this worked.

I did not try the 'walk DOM tree for checking of disabled or non-visible elements'; this looks 'advanced'. :)

This worked when adding 'watir_ext' as explained and the following:

This behavior is desirable when working with traditional web applications, but gives problems with ajaxy applications like orkut, because they are constantly loading data into the browser. With these apps, you'll have to use click! and then you'll also have to use wait_until to delay your script until the event has been processed sufficiently.

I think as Watir becomes more mature and accepted tools like this will be so very important. Personally I went the roll your own method, though if there was an open source base to build off I would have used that in a second. If i ever get some free time I'm going to attempt to write a custom harness for google.com. I think a working end to end custom harness would be a great way to get discussion going on a number of subjects. now I'm just rambling!

At the upcoming awta conference Im going to demo an app that Ive wriiten for one of my clients that does most of this. Im struggling with the concept of it though - I think I would rather just write ruby code. But I can appreciate why others in the group ( project managers etc ) would want to see results in some simple format. Im thinking of writing something similar as an open source project, but Im very time constrained at the moment. What Im finding is a bigger problem, but may be addressed by something like the tool I mention, is how to deal with the vast quantities of data that we use in our tests, and the relationships between the different data items. If there is enough interest maybe we should start a new rubyforge project to deal with it, rather than use this list.

Basically I'm trying to do a data driven test. I am reading data from access db. The problem I'm having is I'm reading a recordset, then I would like to read each row from the recordset and perform some actions and then read the next row from recordset and perform the actions again. It's like doing the same operation without different data sets. The code I've end up till now is as follows. $dbcounter = 1 $tempcounter = 1 require 'odbc' include ODBC drv = Driver.new drv.name = 'Driver1' drv.attrs['driver'] = 'Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)' drv.attrs['dbq'] = 'C:\dl_alpha.mdb' dbh = Database.new.drvconnect(drv) sth = dbh.run("Select * from tbl_dl") #sth.each do |row| while row = sth.fetch do $var_TNOrder = row[0] $var_LEC = row[1] $var_TN = row[2] $tempcounter = $tempcounter + 1 printf "Entered while loop, TNORder: %s",$var_TNOrder end the problem I'm having here that I'm not able to assign the data value from recordset to my local variables. The while loop executes only after End command. Until end command is reached it does not set any variables. Please can you guide me on this. I am sure there should be a way out.. I am new to ruby.

This menu item has the same attributes as another menu item, but they both do different things. I was using ie.frame("left").link(:id, "21").click (example) however because the link id's change depending on the user access rights I found it time consuming and difficult to manage. I am now using ie.frame("left").link(:title, "Edit News").click (example). This has now caused a problem because we have two links, both of them with the same title, but within different directory folders in the menu tree. Does anybody know of a solution to this problem?

I just use the link's index number instead. It's not as nice or convenient as using the text, but I don't mind hard-coding a link index every now and then if it means I can get on with the test and move onto the next thing.

One way is to use some attribute other than [title]. Another is to try asking for testability--that is, getting the developers to change it. Sometimes that's easy--and sometimes it's desirable from points of view other than testability. ---Michael B.

You may be able to do something like ie.frame('whatever').table(:id,'table1').link(:title,'Edit News') and ie.frame('whatever').table(:id,'table2').link(:title,'Edit News') like the other poster said though, a hard index isn't going to be the end of the world if nothing else works. You could also approach the developer and ask for a tag that would work better for you, its always an option. Good luck. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=6036&messageID=16911#16911 From christopher.mcmahon at gmail.com Mon Jan 8 11:21:21 2007 From: christopher.mcmahon at gmail.com (Chris McMahon) Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2007 08:21:21 -0800 Subject: [Wtr-general] Data driven tests In-Reply-To: <348987449903460880@unknownmsgid> References: <348987449903460880@unknownmsgid> Message-ID: <72799cd70701080821j3fc00230ifd44c1a7354491e2@mail.gmail.com> > sth = dbh.run("Select * from tbl_dl") > all_records = sth.fetch_all all_records now contains an ArrayOfArrays, where each row is a record in the outer array, and each value in each row is an element in the inner array.
