nested inside the main "content"

How do I retrieve / act within the nth instance, i.e. the 1st, 2nd or 3rd of these "contentItem" divs?

For example: ie.div(:index,2) # access the second div on the page You can also identify elements using multiple attributes, for example :class and :index : ie.div(:class => 'contentItem', :index => 3) # access the 3rd div with a class of 'contentItem' ...I believe that you can also as a variation go for the Nth div within a div like so: ie.div(:class, 'content').div(:index, 4) # access the div with class='content', and then access the 4th div within it. Take this last one with a grain of salt - I don't have a page to test it on right now, but I believe that it works as I describe here. Hope that helps, Jeff -- http://testingjeff.wordpress.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Cool. Must have missed that in my tutorials and readings. Lovely. :index is in the rdoc already, but :class and multiple attribute support aren't there yet. I have started writing both up, and hope to get a good bit done over the next week and a half. Happy scripting!

Note that I called the same function earlier in the test, but don't get the error then. The error appears to arise from line 61 in the load_nav_menu method: @marketocracy_divs.each do |d| The first time it's called, the @marketocracy_divs variable is uninitialized (set to nil). However, when the bug arises, the @marketocracy_divs variable still retains the values it had from a previous call. I suspected I got the "Access is denied" error message because I was trying to access DIV objects that had been created from an earlier page. So I changed line 59 from this: load_nav_menu unless @marketocracy_divs # grab it on the first try to this: load_nav_menu # unless @marketocracy_divs # grab it on the first try This time it ran without error.

I seems like you are accessing wrong element. #DOESN'T FIND THIS BUTTON > ff.button(:id,'st-login-to-edit-button-link') This is actually a link . So the following should be used to access this element ff.link(:id, 'st-login-to-edit-button-link') Using this I was able to go to login page and was able to enter login name and password. ff.text_field(:id, 'username').set('myemail at email.com') > ff.text_field(:id, 'password').set('mypass') > ff.button(:value, 'Log in').click Don't know correct user name and password :) so was not able to go ahead with the test. #DOESN'T FIND THIS BUTTON EITHER > ff.button(:id,"st-edit-button-link").click I think this might be again a link.

So you should try using following code. ie.button(:src, /search_top/i).click If you use your code 'Watir' is correctly clicking the image which is having the source you specified and not clicking image button which you should access using ie.button. - Angrez On 5/4/07, san wrote: > > Hi People.. > > Heres The Code: > > > > > > name="CTL_SUBMIT" type="image"> > Clear

Hopefully that'll teach me to test suggestions : ) table(:index,29) clearly does the same thing I thought table(:index,29).rows does. As for the "each_with_index", if you just mixin the Enumerable module to the Watir::Table class like this: class Watir::Table include Enumerable end before you use "each_with_index", then you should be in good shape. This seems like something that should be added to the base Watir, since rows in a table are generally an enumerable element and the current Watir::Table.each method returns the rows of the table in order. Any objections? If not, I'll open a ticket. Ethan On 5/7/07, Ian Webb wrote: > Thanks - this does look like a good approach.

The table's layout doesn't change, it just reloads to update the data within the table with the entries that were just made in the popup window. It's a really annoying UI, especially when you have test cases that require changing a dozen rows and therefore opening the popup a dozen times.. hence why I'm quite eager to get Watir doing it instead. However, each_with_index appears to be an undefined method for ie.table objects. I can iterate on .each just fine, but .each_with_index is undefined. (.rows is undefined as well; .each works fine if I leave it out) I'm wondering if maybe there's a way to store the indices of the buttons it's going to click on within the array, rather than the rows themselves. I tried buttons_to_click << row[5].link(:index,1), but that doesn't work.

Suggestion: Assuming that submitting and reloading doesn't affect the table layout, use rows.each_with_index to build an array of indices of relevant rows. Then cycle through the array clicking and submitting. For instance (untested, unfortunately): rows_to_click = Array.new ie.table(:index, 29).rows.each_with_index do |row, i| rows_to_click << i if (row[1].text =~ /#{journals}/) != nil end rows_to_click.each do |i| [Do the clicking and such for row i here.] end This could be made substantially prettier, but hopefully it gets the job done.

This tool called "Unroller" will print out each line of code that is executed along with the values of the variable passed into and returned from methods. (optionally it will also keep track of local variables.) It is very helpful for quickly identifying exactly where your script died, and what values were causing it to choke. http://unroller.rubyforge.org/ For some reason I had to install the win32console gem as well to get it working: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1766 Tip: when you invoke the unroller, you may want to "exclude" the common classes that you don't care about ie watir, string, array ... So that it only traces your code. For example: Unroller::trace(:max_depth => 5, :show_locals=>true,:exclude_classes =>[/Watir/,/String/,/Array/]) do # some watir test script code goes here end I hope some of you find this helpful! -David ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Mon, 7 May 2007 15:49:55 -0400 From: "Ian Webb" Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Using an ie.table.each do |row| loop when thepagein the ie window refreshes itself To: Message-ID: <353BA7F10699794198CD75B3033E62AA02521434 at washnt57.acs.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2" Here's the HTML.

The PERSON_ID field in this request is constant for each user/time the table is displayed, but is not constant between instances. The ORGANIZATION_ID field changes for each row of the table, and *is* the same between instances. I would rather not parse out the HTML and then manually construct these requests - this should as much as possible be based on what the user sees, not the underlying HTML. However, if I have to that's a possibility.

I only had to make a couple of minor corrections. First off, each_with_index starts counting at 0, while Watir starts counting as 1. So I had to do rows_to_click << (i+1). And when iterating back through the table to actually click the links, I had to add ie.wait to that loop to keep it from trying to click the link as soon as the child window closed, before IE had even had a chance to render the reloaded page! In any case, it's working now, and I learned quite a bit. I agree that the each_with_index should be included - although I'm not sure what the preferred index behaviour should be. Perhaps that's why it's not in there now?

Hopefully that'll teach me to test suggestions : ) table(:index,29) clearly does the same thing I thought table(:index,29).rows does. As for the "each_with_index", if you just mixin the Enumerable module to the Watir::Table class like this: class Watir::Table include Enumerable end before you use "each_with_index", then you should be in good shape. This seems like something that should be added to the base Watir, since rows in a table are generally an enumerable element and the current Watir::Table.each method returns the rows of the table in order. Any objections? If not, I'll open a ticket. Ethan On 5/7/07, Ian Webb wrote: > Thanks - this does look like a good approach.

See here: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Watir+1.5+Summary And here: Deliver new DLL that allows us to access DOM embedded in modal web dialogs http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-14 WIN32OLE patch for Modal Web Dialog Support http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-2 Provide cleaner interface and more reliable support for modal windows dialogs (i.e. replace winClicker.rb) http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-4 Since integration of the various watirs is also part of the roadmap, I expect that some of the better modal dialog support will also be migrated to the other watir flavors.

Perhaps I have the wrong impression? I think it's a terminology problem: "modal dialog" is an artifact of IE only. "Javascript popup" is common to all browsers.

If you were going to be making the edits yourself, what parts are most time consuming for you? Would it be worth your time come up with a rough list of things that need documentation and pass that to someone else to document? Or does generating that list constitute the bulk of the work, after which there's not much point in delegating the writing? Alternately, is there a way that you could teach me to generate that list of things that needs documenting? One specific example - how can I determine what methods can take :class as a parameter? I know that this works for button, text_field and div...but is there a way I can find out what other methods take :class via searching source code in eclipse? I just tried reading & searching watir.rb for clues...but I got lost. I hope I can find a way through this last crucial step so that I can submit a useful rdoc patch.

Rather they come from the Enumerable module (which Array uses). You can mix this module into any of your classes that implements two methods: each and the comparison operator (aka spaceship) that looks like this: <=> and thereby automatically get cool methods like this. You can also extend any objects that support these methods with the Enumerable method. I often do this with win32ole objects that implements the (COM) IEnumerable interface and therefore have an each method.

In my view, the purpose of the rdoc is to provide detailed documentation of methods and classes. To the degree that we need good overview documentation (which we certainly do need), to me it is open question whether you put that in a users guide separate from the rdoc or in the header of the rdoc. Right now, the main file is pretty bad. It pulls in a todo list and yet omits the version number. So there are a lot of rather obvious changes that need to be made. Obvious to me at least, but i think that any one who looks at other well-documented Ruby packages (Rspec is another good example) will come to some quick conclusions. > One specific example - how can I determine what methods can take > :class as a parameter?

I just tried reading & > searching watir.rb for clues...but I got lost. Excellent question. I suggest that you focus on questions like this and then help us figure out the best way to document the answers. To me it is unclear whether it would be better to try and get the rdocs to include this information, or whether it would simply be easier to create a big table in the wiki. Please do what you think is easiest and clearest. Now to answer your question. First of all, the "how" symbols that you can use to specify an element actually directly correspond to the zero-argument methods for the Element class. (This relationship is new to Watir 1.5 -- it was much more hard-coded in 1.4). If you look at the Element class, you will see that it supports the "class_name" method. That means you do ie.button(:class_name, 'foo') to specify a particular button by class. The reason this method isn't just "class" is because that is a reserved method name in Ruby. But what we did is provide a direct (hard-coded) mapping from the :class symbol to the "class_name" method in the locator method.

To me there are three important profiles of users of the Rdoc: 1. Testers who are new to Watir and to Ruby and who need to know what methods and arguments are available. (These are the people who i think you are referring to as "end users"). A particular challenge for these users is that they may not have experience reading Rdocs and therefore need to have many of the rdoc conventions explained that other Ruby libraries don't bother with. One example of this is that the IE class includes the Container module and therefore many of the methods available are not in the rdocs for IE, but rather for Container. Experienced Ruby programmers will be able to find this in the rdocs without trouble. Another example is whether the doc for IE#button should indicate that the method returns an instance of the Button class (with a link to the Rdoc for that class)? I don't think we did this for Watir 1.4, but doing this might actually make it so that the methods people care about aren't hidden. But it means that they need to understand a little more about how Watir works. 2. Ruby programmers who know how to read Rdocs and understand object-oriented programming. In particular, i am reluctant to say that we should only document methods and classes that the users in the first profile are interested in, because these people will appreciate more detailed information. 3. Library developers. In particular i think of the WET developers and the FireWatir/SafariWatir developers. We need to provide extension API's to allow Watir classes to be used, sometimes selectively by these other libraries. This means giving some attention to what the extension API's are and marking which are published and stable and which should not be used (private, or practically so). Again, not documenting any of these does not sound like a great idea. It is possible to specify which classes you want to generate RDOC for. One possibility would be to build a set of rdoc output (html) for the tester-user and then build another, more comprehensive collection for the serious developer. > Id maybe also try to minimize the usage of the method descrioptions by > making a really good intro section ( see the rails docs, especially > ActiveRecord::Base ( > http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html ) > > If you do a good intro maybe broken into > 1- what watir is, ( license etc ) > > 2 - finding objects using irb > - using show_xx abd xx.show methods, flash, to_s Personally, i no longer tell people to use the show_methods. Instead, i tell them to use the Dom Explorer. In fact, we have a number of reported bugs with the show methods, no unit tests for them, and no one seems to be maintaining them. I am considering removing them from Watir 1.6. (I haven't decided yet.) > 3 - finding objects using :index, :value :class etc One of the problems with the existing doc is that this information is repeated in too many places, and therefore has not been updated in too many places. > 4 - methods particular to several objects ( with links to the full > list of methods ) like > ie.link(:id, 'x').click > ie.button(:name , 'y').value At moment i am thinking that the doc for IE#link should point to the Link class and that the Link class should provide a summary of the most popular methods (as well as the detailed list which is automatically generated.)

I have been thinking a lot about updating Watir user guidethese days, but I did not have time to start working. I will have some time next week (if not before). I think if user guide is migrated to Watir Wikiit would make contributions much easier, so I plan to do that. If anybody would like to start working on user guide before I migrate it to Wiki, go ahead and grab it from Watir SVN repository, make Wiki page and start working. If you do not know how to get it from SVN repository or how to create Wiki page, please let me know. I received a lot of good advice about updating user guide. There is a clear need for more documentation on Watir. I do not think that everything should be in user guide. My plan is to make user guide as short as possible and provide links to more advanced topics. Something like: - Install Ruby. - Install Watir. - Open IE. - Navigate to a page. - Click a link. - Click a button. - Verify some text is there. - That was easy! - Want to learn more? - See how you can work with: - Other tags. - Various pop-up windows. - JavaScript. - AJAX. - Unit tests (running them, reading them, learning from them). - ? - There is also lots of good documentation on Watir that *is* at our site. See: - FAQ - What is Ruby? - What is Watir? - Is there a difference? - Why should I care? - ? - There is also lots of good documentation on Watir that *is not* at our site. Check it out: - Articles. - Cheat sheets. - Books. - ? - Have question? We have mailing list! When posting a question make sure that you include: - Relevant snippet of your Watir code. - Relevant snippet your HTML. - Error message that Ruby gave you (if any). - See example question. I think this short tips about posting to mailing list are very important. I just hope people will read it. I think we are ready for several Watir tutorials (at least two). Take Ruby for example. It has Pickaxebook that you can have on your desk and not be embarrassed when you boss takes a look at it. There is also Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby. I remember how my boss was surprised when he saw Why's book. I am sure he thought I was joking when I told him that it is a book about programming. (Hint: cartoon foxes shouting "Chunky bacon!".) Watir user guide can have "enterprise look", but I would also like to create one version with cartoon characters. I am sure there are lots of creative people here and I hope they will show their creativity. If you would not like to see cartoon characters in Watir user guide, please do let me know, I will not put it at Watir Wiki. (I will put it at my blog and smile to my jokes. Alone.)

See here: > > http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Watir+1.5+Summary > Right. We added support for handling the IE-specific showModalDialog() in Watir 1.5. As Chris said, there is a terminology problem. Technically, any dialog that blocks access to the main page while it is posted is modal. There are many technologies that allow this. 1. Javascript alert() and confirm() 2. The showModalDialog() mentioned above 3. Various security and authentication dialogs 4. File dialogs such as save as. 5. More recently, there are ajax modal dialogs that appear within the page. Watir 1.5 supports the modal_dialog command which supports #2 above. A good argument could be made that it needs to have a more-specific name. > And here: > > Deliver new DLL that allows us to access DOM embedded in modal web dialogs > http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-14 > > WIN32OLE patch for Modal Web Dialog Support > http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-2 > Both of these tickets relate to improving the existing modal web dialog support (showModalDialog). At this point, I no longer have plans to work on them and no one else has volunteered to work on them. Probably the biggest problem with our current support for showModalDialog is that it only works with Ruby 1.8.2. Fixing this would require that IEDialog.dll be rewritten as an activex component. > Provide cleaner interface and more reliable support for modal windows > dialogs (i.e. replace winClicker.rb) > http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-4 > Although this is desirable and many people have talked about helping with this, we've seen few actual contributions.

Perhaps I have the wrong impression? > The show_modal_dialog support in watir 1.5 is specific to IE. So no. It would be handy to have a better windows library for handling general windows dialogs, and if we had that, then it would also help for firefox -- you could use it there too, although I know that Angrez is focussing on features that would not be platform specific. All of the mechanisms that we currently using in Watir (autoit, winclicker, win32api) are windows specific, so known of them would be migrated to other platforms.

Since a release was never made, i had assumed that it was an abandoned project. I just took another look and found i was able to run all the tests successfully. From what you say, i would say that the next step would be to package this as a gem and create some rdoc, even if it was only something simple that pointed you to the corresponding perl docs. I was also confused by the guitest020218 directory. Should i just ignore this? There are duplicates of several files (cguitest.so, guitest.rb). Which is the correct one to use?

Since a release was never made, i had assumed that it was an abandoned project. I just took another look and found i was able to run all the tests successfully. From what you say, i would say that the next step would be to package this as a gem and create some rdoc, even if it was only something simple that pointed you to the corresponding perl docs. I was also confused by the guitest020218 directory. Should i just ignore this? There are duplicates of several files (cguitest.so, guitest.rb). Which is the correct one to use?

I think that there is useful stuff there, but Wayne Vucenic and I both lost interest not long after Wayne wrote the code, and I'm not exactly sure how far he got. Someday I'll get back to it, but not anytime soon. I don't remember that there is a lot of C involved. I think it's mostly negotiating the Win32 interfaces. Let me know if you need any privileged access. I'm pretty sure I'm still set up to make that happen.

I don't have a regular Watir installation handy, but I know Watir tracks the latest page load times in a variable called "down_load_time" or "download_time" or something similar. FireWatir doesn't have this feature. I used the venerable wrap-a-timer-around-the-click technique stolen from Mike Kelly, which is pretty painless, but it made me think. I'd like to make two suggestions: first, that the value be renamed "page_load_time" instead of "down_load_time", because "page loads" and "downloads" are different things. Second, that this value be added to FireWatir at the same time that it's refactored in Watir. And, it would be really nifty if Watir and FireWatir could actually share the same physical code files, such that a change to the function of "page_load_time" would be instantly available to both platforms. It seems to me that this would be a good spike to explore merging the shared code between the two platforms. I could, of course, be wrong, but I thought making the suggestion was worthwhile.

That's got rid of the error message, but it still appears to be running through twice and therefore stopping midway through. The 'sign in' click takes you through to sign in page. Th continue button should cause the alert to appear. I then need to capture the text within the popup. Then select ok to deal with alert. Then finally close IE. What appears to be happening is The 'sign in' click takes you through to sign in page. Th continue button should cause the alert to appear. the jsalert_clicker selects the ok to deal with the alert I need to manually select the continue button again which causes the alert to appear again the capureText extracts the text (text = autoit.WinGetText "Windows Internet Explorer", "") and also deals with the alert (autoit.Send "{ENTER}"). require 'watir' # the controller include Watir require 'watir/WindowHelper' require 'test/unit' require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner' require 'dl/win32' require 'watir/winClicker' class TC_recorded < Test::Unit::TestCase def start_jsalert_clicker Thread.new{ system("ruby \"C:\\ruby\\lib\\ruby\\gems\\1.8\\gems\\watir-1.5.1.1164\\unittests\\jscriptExtraAlert.rb\"") } end def captureText autoit = WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control') ret = autoit.WinWait "Windows Internet Explorer", "" text = autoit.WinGetText "Windows Internet Explorer", "" puts text.to_s autoit.Send "{ENTER}" end def test_1 @IE0 = IE.new @IE0.set_fast_speed @IE0.goto("www.hmv.co.uk") @IE0.link(:text, "Sign In").click start_jsalert_clicker @IE0.image(:alt, "continue").click captureText @IE0. close end end From forum-watir-users at openqa.org Fri May 11 07:32:00 2007 From: forum-watir-users at openqa.org (Eoin) Date: Fri, 11 May 2007 06:32:00 CDT Subject: [Wtr-general] FireWatir doesn't ignore if it doesn't exists but In-Reply-To: <4643658A.9090508@pettichord.com> Message-ID: <35273878.1881178883150498.JavaMail.oqa-j2ee@openqa01.managed.contegix.com> html of the login page looks like: Remote Access Portal | Login

I need to get value of "hash" attribute (BF8E8F60E722E92C7ED8303916591AB4).

I know how to get attribute of a tag when I know another attribute of that tag. For example, if I knew "hash" attribute and needed "url" attribute, I would do it like this: e = REXML::Document.new(ie.text).root.elements e["/tokens/ShortUrl[@hash='BF8E8F60E722E92C7ED8303916591AB4']"].attributes["url"] => "resetpassword.aspx?m=7fb83717-9606-4022-bd4e-67b6f6582ada&code=2271ad0e-d627-4e6c-bdfb-2b11d354e9ac" But, I know only part of "url" attribute. Of course, this does not work (because e[...] returns nil). e["/tokens/ShortUrl[@url='resetpassword.aspx?m=7fb83717-9606-4022-bd4e-67b6f6582ada&code=']"].attributes["hash"] => NoMethodError: undefined method `attributes' for nil:NilClass I have heard that there are xpath string functions (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-String-Functions), but I did not understand how to use them, or would it even help in this case. I have solved this problem with regular expressions, but I guess there must be xpath solution. Also, I have already asked my developer to simplify that xml, so I can use it, but that has low priority because I have already solved the problem. Does anybody know how to do this using xpath?

(I am considering whether to do this for all Elements, or to use a different tactic. See my questions, below.) * Other minor, mostly typographical changes *Questions: *changes.rb and license.rb * What do I need to do so that these will be listed in the rdoc (as they are for rspec and rails)? When I rolled my own rdoc, I don't see these under Files. changes.rb * This list is all features, improvements, and bugs listed in Jira for Watir 1.5, with a resolution of fixed + unresolved ones. It excludes tasks, sub-tasks, and anything with a resolution other than fixed. Is this what we want? * All all our new features included on this list? (e.g. It seems that modal dialog support is NOT obviously a part of any of these features or improvements. Do we have new features without corresponding Jira items?) watir.rb * :method and :action are listed as permissible 'how' types for the initialize method. What do they mean? Where else are they usable? * Think about how best to lay out hows & whats. Please comment. o The current strategy is to list every how value for each element, with usage hints. (My edits to button are in keeping with this strategy.) + Benefits: This has the benefit of having a lot of information right by each Element method, including examples specific to that Element. + Downside: more work to maintain in multiple places, and more opportunities for information to get out of sync. o An alternate strategy (mentioned by Brett in an earlier email) would be to centralize this information - somewhere in the rdoc or on the wiki - with links to it from each Element. + Benefit: easier to maintain, can't get out of sync. Also a less verbose rdoc. + Possibly not as clear for someone unfamiliar with Watir. I've attached a patch of all the changes I've made so far so that interested folks can check it out. (BTW, this is the first patch I've created, and I was surprised to see that it's just a txt file. If this /isn't /correct, please let me know. I created it using these instructions .)

As for taking a screenshot and automatically comparing that to another image -- I don't think that's possible with today's technology. Your probably meant manually. The first thing that comes to mind for capturing the entire screen including the portion underneath the current view, you would have to use anchor tags within the lower section of the page, and then hit each of those anchors and take a screenshot.

I tried sending this yesterday (with a draft of a patch attached) but it seems like it didn't make it through. Apologies if both versions somehow /do /come through. This time I just uploaded the patch of my changes so far to here: http://wiki.openqa.org/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=2068 ================================================== Hey all, I think it's time for an rdoc progress report. * **Done:* changes.rb - split out from readme.rb, and updated from Jira license.rb - split out from readme.rb readme.rb * Deleted changes, license, and to-do list. * Added examples of identifying elements with 2 identifying characteristics. watir.rb * Updated button method with additional hows (:class, :text), additional Typical Usage, examples of accessing an element with multiple attributes, and an example of accessing a button nested within another element. (I am considering whether to do this for all Elements, or to use a different tactic. See my questions, below.) * Other minor, mostly typographical changes *Questions: *changes.rb and license.rb * What do I need to do so that these will be listed in the rdoc (as they are for rspec and rails)? When I rolled my own rdoc, I don't see these under Files. changes.rb * This list is all features, improvements, and bugs listed in Jira for Watir 1.5, with a resolution of fixed + unresolved ones. It excludes tasks, sub-tasks, and anything with a resolution other than fixed. Is this what we want? * All all our new features included on this list? (e.g. It seems that modal dialog support is NOT obviously a part of any of these features or improvements. Do we have new features without corresponding Jira items?) watir.rb * :method and :action are listed as permissible 'how' types for the initialize method. What do they mean? Where else are they usable? * Think about how best to lay out hows & whats. Please comment. o The current strategy is to list every how value for each element, with usage hints. (My edits to button are in keeping with this strategy.) + Benefits: This has the benefit of having a lot of information right by each Element method, including examples specific to that Element. + Downside: more work to maintain in multiple places, and more opportunities for information to get out of sync. o An alternate strategy (mentioned by Brett in an earlier email) would be to centralize this information - somewhere in the rdoc or on the wiki - with links to it from each Element. + Benefit: easier to maintain, can't get out of sync. Also a less verbose rdoc. + Possibly not as clear for someone unfamiliar with Watir. readme.rb * Zeljko, do you know where the new User Guide will live? For now I'm linking to Jonathan's old one at: http://wtr.rubyforge.org/watir_user_guide.html I've attached a patch of all the changes I've made so far so that interested folks can check it out. (BTW, this is the first patch I've created, and I was surprised to see that it's just a txt file. If this /isn't /correct, please let me know. I created it using these instructions .)

When the 'save' button is clicked without giving any input for any of these text fields, the application would display a text, ' * Required' besides the appropriate text field but in the same window. Now, I want to check whether this ' * Required' text is given out besides a text field when the 'save' button is clicked without giving input for that text field. How can I do that? The ' * Required' text is always present in the fourth column of the table cell in which each of the text fields are present. It is present as a 'span' with a few properties, including the 'id' property. No matter whether the ' * Required' text is present or not on the screen, the command 'ie.text' outputs the ' * Required' text because it is permanently present in a table cell. The only indication for the presence of the ' * Required' text is that the change of values for two of the enclosing span's properties named "display(css)" and "isValid". When the ' * Required' text is present, the enclosing span's "display(css)" property has a value "none" and the enclosing span's "isValid" property has a value "0". When the ' * Required' text is present, the enclosing span's "display(css)" property has a value "inline" and the enclosing span's "isValid" property has a value "-1". In this situation, how do I check whether the ' * Required' text is actually given out or not?

My question then is; does Ruby not allow short-cut accessor methods (attr_reader, attr_writer, attr_accessor) for class variables?

Why? You could I suppose, but you'd want to keep them accessible only by methods in the class. I think I'm starting to understand your general question or I could be totally offbase. Say for instance to take a classic example you want to figure out how many times your class is being used. This is a pretty trivial example but I hope will illustrate the point. class MyClass @@users = 0 def initialize @@users +=1 puts "This could do something more useful" if @@users > 1 # this could exit refuse new instances, etc end def count puts @@users end end m1 = MyClass.new m1.count => 1 m2 = MyClass.new => "This could do something more useful" The class itself in this case is responsible for it's own information. What if you were able to set it from some other code through accessors? some code.... MyClass.users += 1 ...oops, my code died, i didn't have the chance to remove myself as a user ...worse yet, i maxed the connections to the MyClass and it's not creating new instances from other people's code. Hope that makes some sense. -Charley On 5/14/07, aidy lewis wrote: > > On 14/05/07, Charley Baker wrote: > > class LoginInput > > @@user_name = "Vipul.Goyal" > > > > def LoginInput.user_name > > @@user_name > > end > > end > > > > puts LoginInput.user_name > > => "Vipul.Goyal" > > > > # Now with instance: > > class LoginInput > > @@user_name = "Vipul.Goyal" > > > > def user_name > > @@user_name > > end > > end > > > > l = LoginInput.new > > puts l.user_name > > => "Vipul.Goyal" > > Hi Charley, > > I looked at this http://www.rubycentral.com/book/tut_classes.html and > it seems to validate the structure of your code.

I didn't realize that anyone was still using this. The main reason that i removed it was simply because we did not have good unit tests for the wait code and therefore we need to rely on visual inspection to validate this code. Since we had at least two cases where visual inspection had failed in the past, I decided that removing code that wasn't being used might help. Who else is using the spinner?

The text that you are sending to console will not be available to you. Also the captureText that you are writing won't be able to help you because the pop up will already be closed by start_js_clicker. If you look at the file 'jscriptextralert.rb' which you are calling in thread in function start_js_clicker, it creates new instance of WindowHelper class and then call function push_alert_button. Now in file 'watir/windowhelper.rb' go to function push_alert_button function, in that function you write the functionality to capture the text. In that function you can open a file, write the text of pop up to that file. Now instead of calling 'captureText', open the file and read text from that file. Hope this helps. You can go through following threads for more information. http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2007-April/010466.html http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2007-April/010512.html http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2007-April/010523.html - Angrez On 5/15/07, gary wrote: > > OK, now here's the latest update.

But i also seem to recall you making a statement earlier that you were starting a new job and might not have much more time for this. Could you clarify? Further comments are contained inline below.

BTW, the best way to post a patch file is to attach it to a Jira ticket -- either an existing one or a new one. Then the ticket can be used to track progress on the patch. When we have commits based on tickets, we include a link to the ticket in the commit message, which helps keep everything easy to track. One final comment. I saw you included an example for :afterText. But i'm not really sure how and when :afterText works, have seen some complaints about it, and am unsure whether we should be encouraging people to use it.

The rest are sensitive to various things, some are unreliable because of the way the tests are written. Others are unreliable because of the unreliability of the targeted code. My general plan is to either get this working right, or take it out of Watir. This will probably happen in 1.6, and i have to say that most will simply be taken out -- probably migrated to a new watir-contrib gem that users can use at their own risk.

I couldn't find test/unit, but it looks like it may be the test-unit patch, which I've saved as C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir-1.5.1.1166\watir\contrib\testcase.rb (I updated the test case to require 'testcase'). I verified that pp.rb exists at C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8. Here is the code around line 27 of custom_require.rb (line 27 is: gem_original_require path) def require(path) # :nodoc: gem_original_require path rescue LoadError => load_error begin if spec = Gem.searcher.find(path) Gem.activate(spec.name, false, "= #{spec.version}") gem_original_require path else raise load_error end end end After this, I'm at a loss as to what I need to do.

I just checked the Element class documentation and hadn't noticed that it was one of many element attributes that I could have queried. My bad... I've just tried 1166 on some of the frame related tests that were behaving erratically under 1158. These tests dealt with frames generally nested to a depth of two (frame(:index,1).frame(:index,2)) with six or more frames contained inside the second level and a few frames at the outer level. >From a seat of the pants experiment where I repeated the test suite run 10 times I saw one occasion (not frame related) where things could have broken down but the frame tests themselves executed fine. I'll keep an eye on things but I'd say that 1166 looks to be way better behaved with frames than 1158 which behaved somewhat erratically on this class of tests that I'd been scripting last week. With my tests I couldn't categorically state however that frame interactions have been totally solved but I can say that it seems to have worked for me... ;^) Keep up the good work Watir folk...

And i've noticed that some of the Watir tests were failing because they were looking for IE 6. Specifically IE 6 windows are "Microsoft Internet Explorer" and IE 7 are called "Windows Internet Explorer". The simple fix was to just change the string, which will make the code work with IE7, but it will now break with IE6. Making it work with both is more complicated. Frankly, I was surprised that I hadn't heard more complaints about this. Is any one besides me actually using IE7? Does any one care about retaining support for IE6? This issue really only affects our support for popup windows and the like -- which is already pretty broken anyway. Maybe no one is using it, which is why i've seen no complaints?

Quoting from the Selenium reference: storeText ( locator, variableName ) Gets the text of an element. This works for any element that contains text. This command uses either the textContent (Mozilla-like browsers) or the innerText (IE-like browsers) of the element, which is the rendered text shown to the user. So I'm guessing that since we can manipulate "innerText" with IE/Watir, I'll be we can manipulate "textContent" with fireWatir. So it might make sense to abstract both commands into a "munge_text_directly" method.

This amounts to a convenience method that wraps innertText. Watir does not currently directly support changing page content, although you can can do this, as this thread has discussed, using the ole_objects.

My particular application has a wysiwyg page-editing feature that I would like to manipulate for testing purposes. The mechanism by which the page is edited is direct manipulation of "innerText".

Hi, I did just start a new job - so far so good! - and I had initially wanted to get everything done before the change. That said, I feel like I could accomplish a good bit more in 2-4 more hours work, and I can tell that I have the time and the brainspace to do that within the next week. > watir.rb > > > > * Updated button method with additional hows (:class, :text), > > additional Typical Usage, examples of accessing an element with > > multiple attributes, and an example of accessing a button nested > > within another element.

I learned Ruby in order to use it, and it has been great all-round. Here's my problem: The IE I am grappling with has a helped DLL running that pops up and requires authentication before letting me back onto the webpage I am testing. I need to be able to use send-_keys or something to just populate field a, (tab) populate field b (tab) and then tab tab tab hit OK. Then the dialog box disappears and I am back talking to the DOM. Note that this isn't a popup window -- I know how to deal with those, in watir -- this is a DLL in IE that I just need to send keys to. ie.methods shows me that I have ie.send_keys but I can't seem to get this to work. For example: irb(main):015:0> ie.send_keys("{ENTER}") WIN32OLERuntimeError: unknown OLE server: `AutoItX3.Control' HRESULT error code:0x800401f3 Invalid class string from C:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb :1320:in `initialize' from C:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb :1320:in `new' from C:/Program Files/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.4.1/./watir.rb :1320:in `send_keys' from (irb):15 from :0 irb(main):016:0> Any ideas??

Message-ID: <91957548-9D3E-43BA-864F-B903FB6333D0@testing.com> Here's the way I've found to control IE popups (asking for certificates, asking whether to remember passwords, etc.) on Windows Vista with Watir 1.5.1.1166 and nothing else: 1. Just before sending the click that will generate the popup, popen () a subprocess ("the watcher"). 2. Have the watcher spin, checking for a window with a given title, then send the right keys to dismiss the window. After that, create a file to signal completion and exit. 3. Have the parent process spin, waiting for that file to be created, then continue. I've not succeeded in doing it a simpler way because: 1. Putting the click() and an @autoit.WinWait in different threads always seems to lead to a hang. (I'm guessing I/O is happening when Watir is waiting for the click to finish, so the thread that wants to WinWait never gets started. Or the WinWait thread causes the click thread never to be started.) 2. Windows doesn't support fork() and derivatives, so I can't just fork a watcher, click, and wait for the child to terminate. 3. I can't even have the watcher send the "I'm done" message to its stdout because the parent hangs reading it, presumably for the same reason as threads do. My question is whether I've missed an easier or better way to do this using stock Watir. I'm assuming that if I dug into Win32api, I could find the secret to how Windows lets one process create and control another, but I find myself strangely without the desire to do so. But if someone tells me it's easy... --------------------------- Here is a sample script that logs in and deals with a demand for a digital certificate.

As you no doubt have realized, Watir's support (if it can be called that) for popups is none too good: awkward and often unreliable. So your efforts are much appreciated. Personally, I haven't had to deal with popups in my scripts, mostly finding ways to avoid them. (My latest approach was the directly modify the registry settings that control whether some of the more annoying popups appear in the first place. This approach worked OK on XP, but failed on Vista, which apparently has locked down access to the registry. But I digress.) I will comment further inline to your post.

This amounts to a COM call and -- to get technical for a moment -- COM requires a single-threaded apartment (STA). Ruby, on the other hand, does not use windows threads, as a result, COM calls block not only their thread, but all the threads in the Ruby process. Damn!

Just today i was tweaking the jscript_test.rb Watir unit test, which actually demonstrates several approaches for handling simple dialogs. You should take a look at it. I don't think you actually need to have the file polling system. The reason why is that the click method will not return until the dialog has been closed. So you don't need a second synchronization method. Thanks again for sharing this. We need to think seriously about adding this to Watir. Bret P.S. We have had some other comments on the choice of implementation technology. To me, we first need an approach that is (1) reliable and (2) intuitive and (3) supported by unit/feature tests. Once we have this, we can experiment with different control technologies, whether AutoIt or WSH or win32guitest or win32utils or wet-win32 or something else. I think this puts us on the edge of #1 and #2, so the next step is figuring a reliable way to add this to our test suite.

The problem is that all of these select this button in Watir 1.5: ie.link(:id,'st-login-to-edit-button-link').flash ie.button(:id,'st-login-to-edit-button-link').flash ie.text_field(:id,'st-login-to-edit-button-link').flash ie.radio(:id,'st-login-to-edit-button-link').flash But this problem only shows up when you select by :id, not if if you select by :text. I suspect the same problem shows up for any input element when you select by name or id. I say this because we have a special performance optimization in Watir 1.5 for this case (input elements selected by id or name), and it seems that Watir is actually ignoring the type of the element. We need to get this in Jira. (But it is too late for me to do this tonight.) What we need to do to pull Firewatir and Watir for IE together is to work toward a clear, well-defined spec of expected behavior, rather than try to retain fortuitous accidents of implemenation, which is what we have here.

(WATIR 1.5.1.1166) Message-ID: <464C89FB.3702.00B7.0@orionhealth.com> Hi, I'm working on a test that attempts to verify if certain visual characteristics are valid on the page as displayed. Here's the scenario: Normally a given button control on the page has a particular look if it's element class is set to "Button". The HTML for this is Logout In another situation based on some settings in the application the same button has its element class set to "LogoutOverride Button". The HTML for this is Logout BTW, these lines just so happen to be enclosed by a

tag if this is relevant. When the class of the button is "LogoutOverride Button" there is a link to an associated style sheet file that changes the button imagery to a different background image (a different image filename). I want to verify that this imagery filename is in fact the file I am expecting so I want to query the style attributes associated with the above link element to provide an automated "visual" detection. So far in IRB I have tried the following: irb> puts f.divs[7].html

(WATIR 1.5.1.1166) Message-ID: <464D6CF4.3702.00B7.0@orionhealth.com> Okay, so I've just seen this posting from Bret on the following thread (http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general%40rubyforge.org/msg08637.html) which seems to clarify things a bit although it still raises some questions for a non-HTML expert still getting used to Ruby, WATIR and the ins and outs of Web testing all at once... ;^) It would seem that I have to do the following: irb> d=f.divs[7] irb> l=d.links[1] irb> l.locate (if you don't do this the following line will not work!!! Refer to http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-139) irb> l.ole_object.currentStyle.backgroundImage => "url(\"http://machine/app/css/menubar/overridebutton.gif\")" After this I can grab any available property that is under currentStyle. What I can't understand is why I cannot use the style accessor handle, to get what is required by my test requires me to look under the currentStyle handle. Probably some HTML ignorance of mine coming through... Still, with this I can now expand my testing framework to verify these kinds of tests now. This is pretty cool. Derek Wong. >>> "Derek Wong" 17/05/2007 4:59 p.m. >>> Hi, I'm working on a test that attempts to verify if certain visual characteristics are valid on the page as displayed. Here's the scenario: Normally a given button control on the page has a particular look if it's element class is set to "Button". The HTML for this is Logout In another situation based on some settings in the application the same button has its element class set to "LogoutOverride Button". The HTML for this is Logout BTW, these lines just so happen to be enclosed by a

Logout

IE Developer Toolbar in its list of style attributes for this element indicates that this link has the associated imagery against the property 'background-image' with a value of 'url("http://machine/app/css/blah/overridebutton.gif")'. This is what I thought I'd see with the last IRB line given above. So what am I doing wrong here? It looks as if most of the properties that I have inspected so far have yielded "" with the odd exception e.g. the accelerator property was correctly reported as being false. Thanks for any help.

Christopher, I have moved your contribution to http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Install+instructions and linked to it from user guide. If you think install instructions should be in user guide, please let me know. I would like to hear from others too. I hope this will not discourage you (and others) in further contributions. I have a vague vision how user guide should look, and detailed installation instructions for various platforms and browsers just did not fit at that page.

That, to me, is a reason to avoid it. The reality is that it is a shortcut that ends up being longer than what it abbreviates. I'm not going to explain right now what it does. But if you aren't perfectly clear on what it does and how you can explain it to people (who easily get it confused with "require 'watir'", then you should omit it. On the other hand, it is obvious what IE.new and ie.goto each do, and therefore it works just as well for me to break them out as it does to replace them with a "start".

That, to me, is a reason to avoid it. The reality is that it is a shortcut that ends up being longer than what it abbreviates. I'm not going to explain right now what it does. But if you aren't perfectly clear on what it does and how you can explain it to people (who easily get it confused with "require 'watir'", then you should omit it. On the other hand, it is obvious what IE.new and ie.goto each do, and therefore it works just as well for me to break them out as it does to replace them with a "start".

There are good books about it. When they see how easy it is to use Watir, they can learn Ruby if they want. If not, they can think it is magic, as far as I am concerned.

For example, everyone writes require 'test/unit' class MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase ... end rather than require 'test/unit' include Test::Unit class MyTest < TestCase ... end or @soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl_url).create_rpc_driver rather than include SOAP @soap = WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl_url).create_rpc_driver or xml = REXML::Document.new(File.open("demo.xml")) rather than include REXML xml = Document.new(File.open("demo.xml")) There are consequences to including modules that people should understand before they make casual use of it. You are collapsing the namespace and you need to know that you won't create any unexpected collisions when you do this. For example, i recently added a class called Watir::Process, but there is also a standard Ruby library called Process. You could break a library that uses the Process class (from win32-process) if you mixin the Watir module into the toplevel context. That's why using include is not an everyday Ruby practice, but rather typically used to support mixins, rather than simply saving a few keystrokes. I just don't think we should be teaching bad ruby practices to Watir users. We already have too many users who don't realize that Watir is simply another Ruby library. I'd like us to treat it this way, instead of encouraging our own special (and dangerous) I do realize that there are many examples in the Watir source base that use "include Watir", but i guess it is simply time to remove them. I make use of mixins a lot in my test suites and on several occasions have run into bugs due to collisions from mixed-in modules. These are often very difficult problems to figure out. It is much safer to avoid using them, especially for such trivial reasons as this.

(It appeared that the fork() was really exec()ing the program in a subprocess, rather than continuing the subprogram from the point of the fork.) So I went back to popen. I ran into a further problem. One button press would generate two confirmation dialogs, one after the other, without control returning to Watir between them. So I needed to invent some new syntax. I'm not wildly fond of it, but it works. It looks like this: $ie.after { button(:name, "action").click }.dismiss_windows( "Choose a digital certificate" => ["{Tab}", "{Space}"], "Signing" => ["{Space}"] ) Code below. I should write tests for it. Realistically, though, I won't have time to be a good submitter for the near future. I have to learn both Rails and Selenium next week for a different client, and I'll be going flat out for at least all of June. This code should probably invoke the watcher scripts using ruby -S.

Here's my first stab at a centralized page to describe supported elements, 'how's for interacting with those elements, and a chart of which 'how's apply to which elements: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Methods+supported+by+Element For the chart, I tried to follow the rdoc, but I didn't follow it too closely, knowing that the rdoc already has inaccuracies in it. I'm hoping that someone who knows what *actually* does and doesn't work will volunteer to correct the chart (or even just email me corrections to make myself). I added a number of questions at the bottom of the page, but will repeat them here for convenience: * Are there any missing element types, or element types that shouldn't be included? (What about the following methods: tableCell? file_field? ps? pre?) * Any missing (or extraneous) attributes? * Any inaccuracies? (I assume that currently there are many.) * Should this be folded into, or linked to from, the User Guide? * Should this page contain usage examples (simple and complex) or link to them in the User Guide? * Can someone add descriptions for :method and :action, above? * Other suggestions? I have made a number of other edits to the rdoc but am not ready to submit a second patch yet. I hope to post it by Wednesday.

When I open any https site like this ie.goto('https://www.securedsite.net/') the OS will popup a modal dialog asking for accepting the certificate and until I accept this certificate the script won't move further .

I've had a similar, possibly the same, problem. My workaround was to turn off the warning message about a certificate name mismatch in Internet Options > Advanced > uncheck "Warn about certificate address mismatch". (Basically, our testing site has a different hostname but the same certificate as the live site, hence a mismatch error) If this is the other common certificate error, non-trusted root, then you should be able to add the certificate and prevent the popup.

If it has null value i need to enter the data there. Hi Zaheer, what does your script look like so far? What Zeljko gave you should generally work to identify a field that doesn't have any text in it. It sounds like you might be looking for help with the if logic as well, something like if ie.text_field(:index, 1).text do ie.text_field(:index, 1).text("my new text here") end Note also that Zeljko's illustration assumes you are finding the text_field by index. He did that for illustration since you didn't mention how you are finding the text field, but do be sure to substitute whatever way you prefer for identifying the text_field. If I missunderstood you or if the above doesn't work, please write back with a snippet of your broken code plus the html source of the text_field you want to check.

I recently started using WATIR to automate load testing for my company's application, and I'm running into some trouble when I try to run more than four client windows at the same time. Each window needs its own ie process, since it needs its own session variables, so I got the development gem and am using ie.new_process, which works well most of the time. But when I try to run with more than about four windows, I eventually get this error: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1166/./watir/contrib/ie-new-p rocess.rb:44: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13) [i386-mswin32] Can anyone help me with this? I tried running multiple small sessions in multiple command windows but it didn't seem to help. This is also my first foray into the world of open-source mailing lists, so if I've made an etiquette violation, please forgive me.

Closing additional expensive processes doesn't improve the number of windows I can run. Could I be running into a memory limit inside Ruby or Watir? Thanks for the recommendation for Grinder, I will look into that, although the app is pretty back-end intensive per user, so I hope to be OK for a bit with Watir. -----Original Message----- From: Chris McMahon [mailto:christopher.mcmahon at gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 2:24 PM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Seg-faults with >4 ie windows (hello) Maybe you're running out of memory?

If you want separate sessions you must use IE.new_process. Indeed, in trunk, i have changed the default IE.new method to actually use the IE.new_process implementation because it behaves more reliably and better matches tester/user expectations. Chris might be thinking of Perl threads, which are native, and can accomplish things that Ruby threads (which are "green") cannot.

Are you familiar with virtual machines? This is quote from IE blog ( http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/11/30/ie6-and-ie7-running-on-a-single-machine.aspx ) "There are workarounds, but they are unsupported and don't necessarily work the same way as IE6 or IE7 would work when installed properly. [...] the best way to use multiple versions of IE on one machine is via virtualization." Also, as far as I know, Watir can not open virtual machine and then drive it. But, you can install Watir on every virtual machine and perform tests using different IE versions. Zeljko -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After playing around the app bit more, I have figured out a way to click on "Compose Mail" You can enable the key board shortcuts and use send_keys("c") for compose mail. About the events though, I am clueless as to why fire_event() did not help in this case. I think following link have clue to the problem, however I dont think I quite understand it. http://ajaxcookbook.org/event-handling-memory-leaks/ What I understand from here is that gmail is registering the event handlers dynamically and I have to figure out, how the registration javascript is invoked. I thought mousemove/mouseover action might invoke this code, but then realize that there are no handler for these event themselves, in the first place. So event registration for gmail control, which uses addEventListener is still mistery to me, I am on my way to completion using keyboard shortcut though. I hope I will have enough keyboard shortcut's defined to automate other functionality, or else I will have to start the hunt for finding out the answer to addEventListner code invocation. This brings another question: Is it possible to dump all javascript code snippets using watir? I could not find the code for event registration anywhere, though I could see lots of SCRIPT object it was painful to go through them all manually using devtool bar. Thanks for any help.

I think we should consider it a defect in Watir. Please go ahead and open a Jira ticket on it, and we can go ahead and fix it. The TextField#set method should limit to max length automatically.

We don't have any unit tests for this feature, and the code supporting it is wrapped in a begin/rescue block. So if it fails, it would fail silently.

No, I dont work for google, and I don't have access to the internals, and thats what I am trying to understand. As I mentioned in my mail, I have work around even in the Ajax'ed gmail, but I am sure there will be something else coming up in my way. I need to drive the Ajax'ed gmail and hence all the effort. Anyways, thanks for all the pointers. I shall keep the list updated.
