This is correct. The IE.attach, IE.new_process, IE.each and 
ie.modal_dialog methods won't work if run as a service. However, IE.new 
will. I've updated the rdocs to reflect this.

My setup:

Eclipse IDE:
I use the Platform Runtime Binary (without Java Dev Tools, 33MB) from
here:
http://europa-mirror1.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2-20060629
1905/index.php
specifically this one:
http://europa-mirror1.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2-20060629
1905/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-platform-3.2-win32.zip

RDT:
Version 0.9.0 RC 1 from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50233&package_id=4
3880&release_id=502113

Ruby:
One click installer:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167
This version: ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]

The latest Watir development gem from:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds

The instructions:

Install Ruby to C:\ruby
Unzip the Eclipse file to C:\eclipse
Unzip the RDT file to C:\eclipse
Run eclipse.exe
Configure the Ruby section
gem install C:\ruby\watir-*.gem

This or a similar setup has been working for me for about 2 years.

Lavanya,

This works for me. What version of Watir are you using? This works only in
newer versions.

Fair point.  

I originally tried it from this page: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Methods+supported+by+Element where it states:

> label 	 <label> tags (including "for" attribute)

Simply because it was the only available attribute for this field.  No ID, no NAME, no CLASS.  Nothing.

And it appeared to work, on it's own:

   ie.label(:for, "confirmPassword").flash

certainly finds the label with this attribute.

Well, you learn something new every day. I haven't worked with labels, :for
is a supported how for labels. Teach me to answer a question without trying
it out. :)   The :after? tag doesn't appear to apply to input elements,
buttons, text_fields, frames. Add a JIRA ticket if you'd like to see it
fixed and ideally also a failing unit test.

a quick question about attaching to the session of IE.
I am currently relying on attaching to one window on the desktop but I want
to move towards running -b(ackground) option of Watir and running multiple
IE windows. The best way I think I can do this is to maintain a handle to
each IE instance. On my setup script that starts IE instance I can write out
:hwnd and mainaint my test session based on that so each script talk to the
correct window.

Before I jump into doing this I want to find out if it's possible to do in
with -b option and if I am on the right track.

so for example
I will do this in my startup
$ie = Watir.start()
$ie_hwnd = $ie.hwnd()

then in my test cases I attach to the instance
$ie = Watir::IE.attach(:hwnd, $ie_hwnd)

Then I can run another script file containing testCases with the same code.

So this will create another thread of execution and each thread will have
$ie attached to different instance of IE in memory.
Am I on the right track?
Your ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks
marekj

I don't understand why you don't just use the $ie value directly.

hmmm... I was thinking that if I have 3 scripts running at the same time
with -b switch they would get confused at which window to talk to.

I set my $ie in a generic way in setup script which is than later required
by each test.
like so...
$ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)

so it attaches to IE that I am working with (and there is always one) ....
but now I want to run more instances of IE at once (I hope that's possible)
I thought I need to clearly specify, perhaps by unique handle which one to
attach to.
I am sure I am missing something... or making false assumptions about
execution.
gonna dig more...

<h4 id="addproject">Create a new project</h4>

This does not work.

ie.h4(:id, "addproject").click

Is there a way to click it?

Try this:

ie.element_by_xpath("//h4[@id='addproject']").click()

Take a look at concurrent_search.rb:

require 'thread'
require 'watir' 

def test_google
  ie = Watir::IE.start('http://www.google.com')
  ie.text_field(:name, "q").set("pickaxe")   
  ie.button(:value, "Google Search").click  
  ie.close
end

# run the same test three times concurrently in separate browsers
threads = []
3.times do
  threads << Thread.new {test_google}
end
threads.each {|x| x.join}

It is important to understand why this happens.

Watir started out as an experimental project. Some of the features were 
simply proofs of concept, or in reality non-proofs of concept, because 
they did not work reliably. Other parts have been made of commercial 
quality.

I've thought about pulling out some of this experimental functionality 
that works intermittently and whose tests fail intermittently. But a lot 
of people are using this functionality. The best example is the 
javascript popup support. I've actually never used this on my own 
projects, and frankly would rewrite it and make it work more reliably if 
i did. But other people find that they are able to use it in the state 
that it is.

Someday, i plan to take all the marginally working functionally and put 
it in a separate gem. People who want the old functionality can use it. 
And people who want stuff that is very reliable can stick to the core code.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Anyone using Ruby CruiseControl?
Message-ID: <468B8CFB.3702.00B7.0@orionhealth.com>

Hi folks,

here's the situation.  I have the following installed:

ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]
WATIR 1.5.1.1192
win32-process 0.5.0
windows-pr 0.6.6
rake 0.7.3
rails 1.2.3
cruisecontrolrb 1.1.0 (CCRB from now on)

My tests seem to be executed by CCRB but the dashboard web front-end doesn't work.  I looked again at the requirements of CCRB and apparently it requires a version of Ruby 1.8.4 or greater.

However, some of my tests are testing IE modal dialogs.  From my understanding of the recent thread in this group about the best combination of Ruby and Watir if I'm to test modal dialogs I'm limited to using Ruby 1.8.2 and no later.  So that would preclude me from using CruiseControl right?

So, is there a way around any of this?

Thanks,
Derek Wong.

Message-ID: <35992685.6161183540087251.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

Hi 
I have written a test script which click security alert box for browser with https. I have a sequence of test cases where i have to click this security alert box. for the first test cases my script works fine but after security alert box is clicked for the first test, these security alert box didn't appear for another test and i am getting an exception.

I tried to delete the cache folder using Watir but i think it didn't work. 
So i need a way to check if the security alert window exist then i will call my script to click 'YES' otherwise i will continue with other steps.

I am using Watir 1.5.1.1192

I was trying the following code but i got exception when security alert window doesn't appear -

*wc = WinClicker.new*
*hwnd = wc.getWindowHandle("Security Alert")*
*if(hwnd) then*
       *wc.clearSecurityAlertBox()*
*else*
       *other steps of the scripts*
*end*


Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks and Regards
Amit

Thanks Bret. I added your code to Watir module and now I can click h4
headlines.

module Watir
  class H4 < NonControlElement
    TAG = 'H4'
  end
  module Container
    def h4(how, what)
      return H4.new(self, how, what)

Any way of running 2 different ruby interpreters together like this?
Perhaps running Ruby 1.8.2 as a shell, or using explicit path information
to the 1.8.2 ruby binaries?

Message-ID: <25723201.2751183567881984.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

I resolved the problem. actually we have to check for the getWindowHandle("Security Alert") in a loop. first time it didn't find the window.

The code i used is - 
*		begin*
*			wc = WinClicker.new*
*			hwnd = wc.getWindowHandle("Security Alert")*
*			if(hwnd == -1) then*
*			num = 0*
*			while( num < 1)*
*				hwnd = wc.getWindowHandle("Security Alert")*
*				num = num + 1*
*			end*
*			end* 
*			if(hwnd != -1) then* 
 *				wc.clearSecurityAlertBox()*
 *				startAction "Recived Security Alert", " Click 'Yes' button"*
 *				logPass*
*			else*
*				startAction "No Security Alert", "No Action"*
*				logPass*
*			end*
*		rescue => e*
*			startAction "Security Alert throws exception", "Exception for Security Alert window"*
*			handleFail e*
*		end*

Now its working. If security Alert window is not present it will not call *wc.clearSecurityAlertBox()* function .

Thanks,
Amit

Thanks to those out there who gave suggestions.

In the end I've just parallel installed Ruby 1.8.2 and 1.8.5.  I now have CCRB running under RB 1.8.5 and my Web tests running against Ruby 1.8.2/WATIR 1.5.1.1192.  I've now explicitly path to the 1.8.2 install of Ruby to execute my web tests.  This seems to work fine and the dashboard now appears as expected.

Not an optimal solution but definitely workable, now I just need to get the ci_reporter XML files processed into something that CCRB can display.

Regards,
Derek.

Whenever we consider any tool for automation, the first and the foremost critical part is the recovery system. 

Unfortunately I didn't get much info related to this on the website.

Message-ID: <33208327.15471183634067198.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

i have this code:

 $ie1.radios.each do |chk| 
                chk.focus 
                if $ie1.button(:index,2).exist?
                        then
                              $autoit.BlockInput(1)
                             $ie1.button(:index,2).click
                              $autoit.Send("{Enter}")
                            $autoit.BlockInput(0)
               end

button(:index,2) is a remove button and it shoul remove the selected radio; the problem is that when i want to remove that radio a small window appears with title Microsoft Internet Explorer and with 2 buttons OK and CANCEL for remove item; the OK button is selected so all i have to do is to send ENTER key with autoit, but that small window blocks my script (wont execute the next command SEND({ENTER})) untill a button will be pressed.

Also i cant work with the main window unless the small window is closed.

How can i press  the OK button? How can the script execute SEND command and not pause untill the small window will be close?

Subject: [Wtr-general] general questions when trying Watir
Message-ID: <5585f2610707050444m3858f976l2e2b803a042c8d4a@mail.gmail.com>

We are trying to find some tools to help us in web automation testing.

Selenium WET Watir are all reviewed.
Finally we choose Watir 'coz it's pure scriptable.
Using Selenium and WET will make our scripts highly rely on IDE,
which is not what we want to.

But there's several problems these days really puzzled me.
I tried to search the archive mail list. But didn't find anything useful.

Q1: how do you write your scripts?
If I want to set my username & passwd in a login form's text_field,
is there any other way except for dig into the html to see what the name of
text_filed is?

Q2: Working with Ajax sometimes, I can't even find the object in
VIEW/source.
does watir support Ajax testing? will it work with several web sites like
igoogle or liferay?

Q3: I can't have attach work properly for me.
if i got a link like this :

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">.
and ie is my current page driver.
ie2= Watir::IE.attach(:url,'http://www.google.com')
if i did this, will the link in ie be clicked and a new window generated?

According to the User Guide, I think it should be the right way to work.
But i tried several times, it didn't work. seems it can't find the
object with url "www.google.com".
anybody know what's going wrong ?

thanks

I use Firebug (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843) for
Firefox, but there is also Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar (

ie.link(:href, "http://www.google.com").click

It's likely that you have multiple Watir requires with different casing
somewhere in your files:

require 'watir'
and
require 'Watir'

That'd be my first guess. Check your scripts for requires.

You need to register AutoIt. In a command window, navigate to the directory
where you've put AutoIt and type:
regsvr32 AutoItX3.dll

Message-ID: <22AFECCA0843774F9E442C63EC33A90B0337F46F@homer.vanbc.mps.com>

Thanks the unit tests are of course the obvious resource, sorry.

 

But trying them I am now confused. I am running the following test with
the subsequent error. I have run out of brain. I cannot attach the
'Another' modal dialog. Can I borrow some brain?

 

:::: Environment ::::

 

Ruby 1.8.2-15

MS Vista

watir-1.5.1.1166

 

:::: Test code ::::

 

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

require 'unittests/setup'

require 'watir/dialog'

 

class TC_Dialog_Test < Test::Unit::TestCase

  include Watir

  

  def setup

    $ie.goto($htmlRoot  + 'modal_dialog.html')

  end    

  def teardown

    begin 

      sleep 0.4 # XXX 

      dialog.button('OK').click

    rescue

    end

  end

  

  def test_modal_text

    $ie.text_field(:name, 'modal_text').set('Some Text I Entered')

    $ie.button(:value, 'Close').click

  end 

    

  def test_another_modal

   $ie.button(:value, 'Another Modal').click     

   $ie2 = IE.attach(:title, /Pass/) 

  end

 

    #TODO

  def test_modal_with_frames

    $ie.button(:value, 'Modal with Frames').click 

  end

 

end

watir doesnt support doing this itself. You could probably write something 
to do this using auto-it. But an easier way is to probably test it once 
manually, and then save the link details. and instead of clicking the link, 
just make sure it hasnt changed from when you manually tested it

Yep - if you really read your method, you're asking watir to attach an
IE instance itself to an MS Outlook window with the url of....there
won't be a url because it's an MS Outlook window.

The simplest solution I can think of without delving into AutoIT would
be to set your default mail client to gmail (using Gmail Notifier or
similar), or any other web-based mail client that supports being set as
the default.  Then you could continue to use Ruby/Watir for your
assertions.

Hi- 
there may already be a thread about this, but I could not find it. 

I recently used the Windows .exe (rather than Gem) to install Watir on my computer. I'm pretty sure it's +not+ the newest version available. 

How do I find out which version I installed?

Thanks

Interesting.

 

I think I have worked out my understanding problems but now I get this
problem. Maybe I need an older rev of Ruby 1.8.2?

 

:::: Environment ::::

 

Ruby 1.8.2-15

I am trying again:

Does anybody know anything about getting the DOM or attaching with Watir 
when the IE browser is embedded in an application, such as with 
Microsoft smartclient?  When the application in question is running, it 
is obviously just a wrapper around IE and it displays the same web pages 
I find on the main site via my regular browser. But soon some of those 
pages may be made inaccessible except through this "client" application.

I already have a lot of automation written for this site. It could be a 
lifesaver if I could just find a way to attach to the embedded DOM.

This is important. I could really use any help or ideas that are out there.

Hi all!

I'm trying to use the verify method from assertions.rb, but I keep getting the following error:

undefined method 'verify' for main:Object (NoMethodError)

I've added 
require "watir/assertions" 
to the beginning of my script, but still can't use the verify method.  Is anyone else using this successfully?

Thanks!

My guess is that you could attach to the embedded browser if you can get a
handle to the ie instance and then attach to the handle using
ie.attach(:hwnd, handle). You may be able to get a handle by navigating
through windows, simalarly to the way it's set up in Watir by using
Shell.Application, iterating through windows and finding a window that
matches either your title, url or class name. Check out each on class IE for
an example.

 I haven't done this before but that would be the general tack I'd take.
There are likely better ways, but that'd be my first route. Otherwise you
could find the window with Winclicker based on the title and class and pump
that into ie.attach or find the child window that's serving the content and
use that. Not having done it this is where I'd start and poking around on
msdn, there are some good articles on hosting a browser control which might
prove useful. Codeproject also has some examples of that.

 win32ole_pp has been of help to me here and there for getting better
insight into the ole objects and supported methods.

I think the error message may be misleading. I think the problem may 
actually be caused by the use of frames. Can you show us the code that 
is failing?

You will also need to add an
  Include Watir::Assertions
to your test code.

If you show us your test code, we can show you where it goes.

I agree. Watir has many features that make it easy to create recovery 
systems. I created an extensive recovery system for the automation 
system we used at DataCert.

Hi, zeljko.
Thanks for the reply.

is that what you mean about open a new window?
ie.link(:href, " http://www.google.com ").click
ie2=Watir::IE.attach(url, "http://www.google.com")
then I can use ie2 to drive the new page?

But I find several problems when trying this.
1 ie.link(:href, " http://www.google.com ").click
A new popup window is blocked.
But when I click the link manually, it did open a new window for me.

2 ie2=Watir::IE.attach(:url, "http://www.google.com")
seems it did attach to the window just opened.
But ie2.show_all_objects shows different with IE/view/source.
I can see a table with IE/view/source,
but ie2.show_all_objects didn't show any table.

3 Another question will be igoogle. I add several protelet on my page.
I can't find those links in show_all_objects, but I can use
ie.link(:text, "How to of the Day").click to click it.

Is Watir reading the html/view/source to generate the show_all_objects?


thanks
Jarodzz

Disable all pop-up blockers that you have installed.

Is Watir reading the html/view/source to generate the show_all_objects?


I do not use show_all_objects. As far as I understood, it's use is
discouraged. You should use Firebug for Firefox or Internet Explorer
Developer Toolbar. Inspecting HTML can help too.

No.  The method accesses all elements in the document object model,
and in fact all the links in a page are included in its output.
They're the ones that look like this:

                  name=               id=

Which is obviously not very helpful.  The problem is that
show_all_objects prints a specific list of properties that aren't good
for distinguishing links.

You could try hacking the method to show more properties, or something like:

ie.links.each do | link |
  puts "link text: #{link.text}\thref=#{link.href}"
end

Certainly. Warts and all here it is:

Hi all!

I'm trying to determine the best way to collect the results of my tests.  I'm using Test::Unit methods for my harness and will have about 15-20 data-driven tests that get information from an excel spreadsheet for use in each test.

I have lots of 'verify' statements that check various conditions and post messages for failed conditions as well as progress statements I generate with simple 'puts' commands.  

Ideally, I'd like all of the results ('puts' statements as well as the Test::Unit results) to be echoed to the command prompt and copied to a log file. I can't find a good way to do this other than copy/paste.  I could write any 'puts' statements to a file as well as the command prompt, but I'm not sure how to capture the Test::Unit results.  I did a web search and the only real answer I found on capturing command line output with Ruby was "don't".

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I haven't got started yet but I was hoping to try this out:

 

RTH Test Management open source project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rth/

 

RTH also have a library to post watir results into it here
http://www.bhtconsulting.com/gpage2.html

 

That combination looks a promising possibility.

If you don't need the console output to be real-time, perhaps you could use the following as a launcher script?

IO.sync = true
out_file = File.new('test_output.log', 'w')
ret = `ruby test_main.rb`
$stdout << ret
out_file << ret
out_file.close

Modal dialogs aren't part of a frame, they're generated and owned by ie, so
this line:

   ie2.frame("ContentFrame").modal_dialog.text_field(:id,
'FileUploader').set('C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Dock.jpg')

should read:
   ie2.modal_dialog.text_field(:id,
'FileUploader').set('C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Dock.jpg')

I'd suggest using ci-reporter -
http://rubyforge.org/projects/caldersphere/- for your main test
reporting, though honestly I've got little experience
with it and am still using it's predecessor test-unit report. For your puts
statements why not use ruby's logger or log4r instead? Dump your puts
statements and replace them with log calls to a file.

Log4R: http://log4r.sourceforge.net/
Logger is part of ruby, there are examples of subclassing and usage inside
Watir.rb

you can use 'tee' program. It's part of cygwin distribution if you have that
installed.
it can capture everything from the stdout to a file if you pipe it from the
command line.
So when you run a test append "| tee somefile.txt" to dump your stream in
there.
like so..
prompt>ts_mysuite.rb | tee -a test_reports.txt

I have been using Ruby and watir for a while now.  But, the set of web pages has me stumped.  Any help you can provide is extremely appreciated.

In the source code below, there is a table of items that, when clicked, fills in a frame.  I can get to the TableRow.  But, click on it or fire_event('onClick') doesn't seem to do the trick. The flash method doesn't light up.  However, flashing the entire table seems to work.  So apparently, I am not selecting the item I want.

# this works
$ie.table(:id,'table1').flash 

# this doesn't work
$ie.table(:id,'table1')[1].flash
$ie.table(:id,'table1')[1].click
$ie.table(:id,'table1')[1].fire_event('onClick')

How does one call the changlframes() javascript function?  I thought that is what the fire_event() was for.  BTW, if it makes any difference, this table is inside a <div>.

Thanks in advance.

<table id="table1" style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" borderColor="#819cb9" height="180" cellPadding="0" width="69" border="1">
	<tr>
		<td id="list1" style="CURSOR: pointer" onClick="changeBG('list1');changIframes(0);" bgColor="#ceddf0" height="30">
			<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><b>Ticket<br> Info</b></p>

	        <td id="list5" style="CURSOR: pointer" onClick="changeBG('list5');changIframes(4);" bgColor="#ceddf0" height="30">

Hi Matt,

  You need to access the cell, the onclick event is attached to the cell,
not the row. This should work:

$ie.table(:id,'table1')[1][1].fire_event('onClick')

table with id of table1, first row, first cell.

I'm not quite sure why you'd want to do that, maybe you could explain it.
Here are a couple of random possibilities:

1. use the string and eval it, makes the code less readable but there are
some good uses for this:
b = "button"
eval("puts $ie.#{b}(:index, 1)")

2.wrap the code in a method, cleaner access and sets you up for methods on
your pages which you can roll into classes for your pages:

def my_form_button; $ie.button(:index, 1);end

puts my_form_button
my_form_button.click

It all depends on what the context of the question is and where you might
want to take it.

Message-ID: <30811219.13081183838337425.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com>

i want to do something like this:

def check_elements(ie,elements,btn,lnk....)

for i in 1 .. elem[1,0]
   if (  ie.elements[0,0](:index,btn[i-1,0]).exist? and ie.elements[0,0](:value,btn[i-1,1])   and ie.elements[0,0](:name,btn[i-1,2])  )
                then
                    write("The button with value: "+ btn[i-1,2] + " exist and not disabled",1)
                else
                      write("The button with value: "+ btn[i-1,2] + " does not exist ",0) # write is a def with file.puts...
          end # if exist
                    
   end # for i 

end #def

elements=Matrix[ 
                         ["button","link","select_list"...]
                         [2,6,1....] #number of buttons,links etc
]

buttons=Matrix[
[1,"","Web Search"],  # index, name and value
[2,"","Go"],
]

links=Matrix....

check_elements(ie,elements,buttons,links....)


I want to verify all elements just by calling check_elements procedure and editing an txt file where the buttons, links ..indexes, values and names are
This is just a simple example; the check_elements procedure it will be more complex, at least that i want.
Tnx for help

Try the send method, which invokes the method named by the first
argument and passes it any succeeding parameters.  To use your
example:

b = 'button'
puts $ie.send(b, :index,1)

I added the IE.find command to support error recovery.

You also may want to look at Aslak Hellesoy's post on how he captured

Controls:
  * one select list
  * one text field
  * two buttons ("OK", "Cancel")

How do I access the dialog box?
How do I select an item from the list?  Do I use the Watir::IE.select_list.getAllItems() call?

How do I click on the buttons?

there is a .hidden? method available in the user contrib section on the wiki I think. Or the email archives. Some submitted it, so it does exist.

It is a common practice to put the require and include statements 
together, but I don't recommend it. I intend to remove all examples of 
this from the Watir unit tests and examples.

My view is that it is best to put the includes where you need them. If 
you put them on the top of the file, you are modifying the global Object 
class, which, someday, could have unfortunate consequences.

Include is a "mixin" and supports a form of multiple inheritance. I 
think it should be used in this context.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Recommended version of Ruby
Message-ID: <46931535.7060703@pettichord.com>

What version of Ruby should we recommend?

After a recent discussion we agreed that the rdoc (readme.rb) should read:

   Best is to use Ruby 1.8.2-14 or later.
   However, if you are using the Watir::IE#modal_dialog method, you must 
use Ruby 1.8.2-14 and not a more recent version.
   Watir (in general) will not work with Ruby 1.8.1-13. (This version of 
Ruby has a bad WIN32OLE library.)

I revised this recommendation to this thus in the new (unpublished) website:

    First you need to "install
    Ruby":http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167 using
    the one-click installer for Windows.
    *We recommend Ruby 1.8.2-14 or later.*

    However, if you wish to use Watir's support for the *IE web modal
    dialog*
    then you "must use Ruby
    1.8.2-14":http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Installation
    and not a more recent version. This dialog is
    posted with the showModalDialog() JavaScript command and is
    supported with Watir's
    ie.modal_dialog command.

However, the wiki page for installing recommends 1.8.2-14 for everyone.
    http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Install+Ruby

I was surprised when i found this and started a discussion with Zeljko 
on the page, but thought the issue might be of more general interest.

Personally, i think that people should be using the latest generally 
available version of Ruby. There continue to be improvements with it. 
For example I recently reported several Ruby bugs that interfered with 
integrating Watir with Cruise Control. 
http://www.io.com/~wazmo/blog/archives/2007_04.html. At this point, we 
see problems in both 1.8.5 and 1.8.6, but expect that 1.8.7 will have 
these problems fixed and will be encouraging a move there when it happens.

Should our recommendation for newer versions of Ruby be more emphatic?

Another question regards the modal dialog support. I don't know if the 
community understands that at this point i am abandoning this 
functionality. I would love to see someone take it over and make it so 
that it was dependent on a specific version of Ruby. But i don't expect 
that to happen. But we can't allow this to say that all users should 
stick with 1.8.2 until the end of time.

For example, rubygems in 1.8.2 does not support the --install-depencies 
argument, which makes installing via gem much more complicated (esp. 
when i publish the gem to rubyforge.org). So once this is done, i will 
probably be telling people NOT to use 1.8.2, because i think it is more 
important to make our install instructions simple. We can have alternate 
instructions for the people who need the modal_dialog support.

I'd appreciate your thoughts and questions.

I suspect that your problem is in the path + filename definition. On
Windows I have always had to use / or \\ instead of the \ in defining
paths. I also advise not using directories with spaces in the names. You
may also under certain circumstances need to escape the . in .xls with a
\

Try the following 

Category is holding an array and not just  a single variable. Thereby each value needs to be picked up and then assigned. 

category.each do |cat|
    ie.text_field(:name,"ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtCategory").set(cat.to_s)

Step 1:
Since it is a dialog box, Attach the focus to this page by using the following:
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "Web Page Dialog")

Step 2:
Do a puts ie.show_all_objects 
This will give the various objects and their identification attributes. 

Step 3:
Based on the above output, perform the regular text field entry and click button operation.

Hi Sapna,

The HTML code was not there , But you can try this

string=ie.link(:id,'yourlink'sID').text
mytext=string.split('  ') #Separated by space
yourtext=mytext[mytext.length - 1]

For more help you can refer array class in ruby
Let me know if it is helpful
