Are we keeping track of requests like this? Maybe on the Wiki?

This is probably what you want:

                 result = $ie.pageContainsText("Step 1")
                 if result
                         $f.puts('PASS')
                                 else
                                 $f.puts('FAIL')
                 end
                 assert(result)

Or perhaps put this in a function:

def assert_log (boolean)
   if boolean
      $f.puts('PASS')
   else
      $f.puts('FAIL')
   end
   assert(boolean)
end

and then do assert_log($ie.pageContainsText("Step 1")

I don't know how to do this. Another item for our wish list.

In fact, i don't know how to bind WATIR to any IE window that it didn't 
create.

	I know it's possible, I just don't know the underlying Windows
magic.  And it might be different for IE vs. normal GUI.  
	Perl has a module Win32::GUITest with a function FindWindowLike,
that works like this (generic MSPaint window example): 

my @windows = FindWindowLike(0, "^untitled - Paint" );

its fairly easy to do that, the code that cliscks javscript popups does exactly that. The problem is that I dont get an OLE reference to the new window.

Ive been looking at a few possibilities, 
1. capturing new windows that are being opened, stopping them opening and then opening under a WATIR context. 

2. Using windows mesages to get an ole reference to new windows

Ive tried a few things, but Im not happy with anything yet.

Howdy.  I'm starting to play with WTR for a review I'm writing for Open 
Testware Reviews.

On the http://www.clabs.org/wtr/index.cgi?page=/AlternativeTools page, I 
suggest adding Pamie (http://pamie.sourceforge.net/), a Python port of

Jonathan encouraged me to send further feedback to the list.  So here's 
one...

The page at http://www.clabs.org/wtr/index.cgi?page=/Scripting101Class 
links to http://www.testing.com/scripting-for-testers.html, which in 
turn links to http://www.testing.com/Scripting-for-testers-installs.zip, 
which doesn't exist.  Brian Marick sez:

"There shouldn't have been a link to that page. It was the instruction 
page for one session of the course, and went stale after the course was 
taught."

Perhaps the Scripting101Class page should link to the downloads page on 
RubyForge instead, where I did find the source.

Subject: [Wtr-general] how to install Ruby 1.8.1-11?
Message-ID: <41BFA07D.7070403@tejasconsulting.com>

I'm having problems running the unit tests for a recent snapshot of the 
Watir sources.  Before I investigate the failures, I want to make sure 
I'm running a version of Ruby that is supported by Watir.  What Ruby 
versions are supported/known to work with Watir?

I have these two incarnations of Ruby installed on my XP machine 
(according to ruby --version):

ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i386-cygwin]
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i386-mswin32]

I presume this isn't the same as 1.8.1-11.  Do I need to build Ruby from 
source to get 1.8.1-11?  Or maybe I do have this version and Ruby isn't 
telling me enough detail about the version?

I've tested it with 1.8.0-10, and 1.8.1-12. I know others have tested it
with 1.8.1-11. There have been some reports of a WIN32OLE bug in 1.8.1-13.

That's the same date as my 1.8.1-12 install.

If you open the ReleaseNotes.txt file in the root of your Ruby install, it
will have the version there. Check under the "Change Log" heading in that
file, and you should get the full version.

It has it, sitting there begging me to install it.  But I'm still at SP1.

Thanks.  I have 1.8.1-13.

I can't run the unit tests successfully under Cygwin.  I get numerous 
errors from IE like "Cannot find 
'file:///use/src/wtr/watir/unittests/html/images1.html'....".  It looks 
like the tests are expecting IE to comprehend a Cygwin path.  This comes 
from setub.rb - "$myDir = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))".  I 
don't know an easy solution without adding Cygwin-specific code somewhere.

Using a native Windows build of Ruby, I usually get a segfault when I 
run one of the unit tests -

 > c:\ruby\bin\ruby form_test.rb
Loaded suite form_test
Started
-----------Objects in  page -------------
./../watir.rb:585: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i386-mswin32]


This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
----------------------------------------------

I have to kill ruby.exe forcefully.  For links_test.rb and 
radios_test.rb, it failed at "./../watir.rb:874".  buttons_test.rb 
failed at "./../watir.rb:798" once and 
"c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/testresult.rb:53" another time, and then 
it passed.  selectbox_test.rb failed at "./../watir.rb:1287".

table_test.rb passed consistently.

Is anyone else seeing this?

	I really appreciate your attention.  As always, if there's
something useful I can do to help, please let me know.  Windows people
seem to pop up new windows at the drop of a hat.  Like they figure

I've checked in this additional line, which fixes this problem on cygwin:

     $myDir.sub!( %r{/cygdrive/(\w)/}, '\1:/' ) # convert from cygwin to dos

Hmmm, that doesn't change the behavior for me.  I'm starting with a path 
like "/usr/src/wtr/watir/unittests/html/images1.html" that doesn't use 
the cygdrive format.

This does work for me:

$myDir.insert( 0, "c:/cygwin" ) # convert from cygwin to dos

With this change, all unit tests are passing with the Cygwin build of 
Ruby (which the Cygwin setup describes as version 1.8.1-1).  But besides 
breaking all other environments, this makes the unfortunate assumption 
that Cygwin is installed under c:/cygwin.  The cygpath program can do it 
more portably:

$ cygpath -d '/usr/src/wtr/watir/unittests/html/images1.html'
C:\cygwin\usr\src\wtr\watir\UNITTE~1\html\IMAGES~1.HTM

You could call that if you can find a reliable way to detect a Cygwin 
environment, perhaps by matching "cygwin" in the RUBY_PLATFORM variable 
(it's "i386-cygwin" on my system).

PS.  Duh, I just realized that I could cd into 
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/src/wtr/watir/unittests to add /cygdrive/c to the 
path.  Then your code works (and mine doesn't, though a cygpath solution 
would work for both).  I'd just have to remember to always do the cd trick.

The checkbox_test.rb test is missing the require for setup.rb.  I didn't 
notice this until I ran the file by itself and all tests failed like this:

   1) Error:
test_CheckBox_Enabled(TC_CheckBox):
NoMethodError: undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass
     checkbox_test.rb:15:in `gotoCheckBoxPage'
     checkbox_test.rb:33:in `test_CheckBox_Enabled'

Here's the patch:

-------------------------------------------------
diff -c -r1.7 checkbox_test.rb
*** checkbox_test.rb    23 Nov 2004 16:14:13 -0000      1.7
--- checkbox_test.rb    16 Dec 2004 00:16:57 -0000
***************
*** 6,11 ****
--- 6,12 ----
   require 'test/unit'
   require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
   require 'testUnitAddons'
+ #require 'unittests/setup'

   class TC_CheckBox < Test::Unit::TestCase
-------------------------------------------------

I'm not going to assume I can/should check in changes myself unless 
someone says so.

BTW, running the native Windows build of ruby-1.8.2-14RC10, the unit 
tests are now passing (as long as I don't run them individually :-).

Thanks for the catch. I updated the file, adding the missing require.

This sounds like a reliable strategy to me. If you send me some code using 
it, i'll check it in.

I would like to move this information to a community site, perhaps our wiki.

A patch is attached.  Tested it with Cygwin Ruby, and the native Ruby 
under DOS and Cygwin.

Is there a way to idenfity an image button using its alt text?  E.g., if 
I add this to unittests/html/buttons1.html, how can the test activate 
the button without resorting to using an index?

<tr>
<td>
<form name=test4 method=get action=pass4.html>
<br><input type="image" src="images/button.jpg" alt="sub4">
</form>
<td>This form button is an image with only alt text to identify it.

	Wow, this is slick.  Although there seems to be a lot of
overhead/goldplating/cruft, but maybe I'm just used to other languages.
Unfortunately, like many other subjects of interest to folks on this
list, I am stone ignorant of JavaScript.  =/
	Paul might be interested in  the seekWindow() method, though, it
speaks to controlling multiple IE instances: "the method seekWindow()
allows a test script to attach to an existing  browser window".    
	IEUnit seems to have a pretty simple/elegant way of addressing
frames, too. 
	(BTW, I did immediately find an IEUnit bug when something other
than IE is the default browser.)  
	Of course, no filesystem interface, no database interface, no IP
interface, etc. etc.

Cool, thanks.  It's not working for a real-world case I'm trying it on, 
though.  This is the object I'm trying to click -

<input type=image

alt="Buy Now" width=133 height=33 border=0 hspace=10 vspace=0>

I think I need to be using the button method for this, but it looks like 
you added the alt property to the image method.  Neither of them are 
finding this object.

$ie.button(:alt, 'Buy Now').click

Ok, NOW its checked in! see the forms3_test for examples

Sorry for the misunderstanding of what you wanted.

I also think there's a bug in getObjectWithValue which needs looking at

Ive added the code for handling new windows.

I think you may see these problems:

1. Javascript linking the 2 windows may not work. Anybody want to write
a test for this?
2. Opened windows will have incorrect decoration - ie if you open a
window that has no address bar, no status bar and a size of 10x10, it
will probably all get ignored. Any offers to write some javascript for
this too?

I apologize if I am asking something very well known. I started using
ruby a while ago.

If i try to execute examples from /watir/examples directory

>ruby googleSearch.rb
..\watir.rb:28:in `require': No such file to load -- winClicker (LoadError)
	from ..\watir.rb:28
	from googleSearch.rb:16:in `require'
	from googleSearch.rb:16
>Exit code: 1

I get this error.

If I copy and paste this same file to a file. and change 
require '../watir'

go

require 'watir'

it works sort of. Since I am in Turkey, my google button's captions
are in Turkish. Example can not find buttons. May be another site
which do not change its layout according to region would be better
example.

Thank you.

This looks like it was introduced with the JavaScript handling code that was
checked in Monday, Dec 22.

googleSearch shouldn't need winclicker, so there must be a dependency in
watir.rb that has been introduced. I'll check into it today and talk to Paul
about a fix.

Sorry about the confusion.

This was a path problem I introduced when I added the winclickers.

It didnt affect the unit tests as they create their own paths

Its fixed now, but will be fixed 'properly' when I do an installer

Thanks!

So LOAD_PATH needed to be run before the require? Thanks for the fix. I ran the
unit tests as well and they ran perfectly, but when I tried the examples things
went awry. 

Thanks for the quick fix.

Hi...
	I was reading through the source in watir.rb and discovered the

Thanks again.

I should also add that this works best from irb


c:\watir> irb

irb(main):001:0> require 'watir'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> ie = IE.new
=>  --stuff gets displayed --

irb(main):003:0> ie.goto('http://www.google.com')
=> 1
irb(main):004:0> ie.showAllObjects
-----------Objects in  page -------------
.
.

submit            name=btnG           id=                 value=Google Search  alt=
.
.


you can then use the flash method easily, to make sure what you think you got


irb(main):009:0> ie.button(:name , 'btnG').flash

I just found a bug here - 
ie.button(:caption , /Lucky/).flash 
doesnt work!


These techiques are useful when you are developing the script. It makes it easy to figure out what to click etc.

Hi...
	Something needed by popups_test.rb is in a "C:Documents and

handled properly.  Ironically enough, I get a popup (unexpected) that
says "Windows cannot find 'C:\Documents'.  Make sure you typed the name
correctly...".

I've seen the same thing running that test. My Eclipse workspace directory has a
space in it, so when I run the test using RDT's plugin using test::unit in
Eclipse, I get the same error.

To capture the new window, I use the NewWindow3 event, which is only available only in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later.
( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/webbrowser/browser_control_node_entry.asp)

Of course, my pc at home is XP, service pack2, so all the tests work perfectly there.....

I think this is caused when you check out from cvs its sometimes read only

When I run the script I sometimes get an access denied message. To fix it I use cygwin and do a chmod 777 *.rb

Ive no idea why this is happening.

The file its looking for is clickJSDIalog.rg
Try running that on its own.

It is trying to load "clickJSDialog.rb", so $LOAD_PATH finds the directory you
are in, and loads it.  It just looks like the space in the file path is throwing
things off, so the path is getting truncated. Instead of
"c:\eclipse\workspace\watir dev\watir", it truncates to
"c:\eclipse\workspace\watir" and can't find the "clickJSDialog.rb".

	Aha.  Mine was on my desktop.  Extracted to a folder on C: (no
spaces in directory names) and popups_test.rb runs fine.  This is very
neat.  
	But I think a lot of folks are going to trip over this.  Can we
find and escape arbitrary spaces in the pathname to necessary files?

Hi again... 
	I  changed my IE security settings to make the popups_test.rb
unittest pass. 
	I have a page that asks the user to confirm a logout by clicking
a confirm popup box, just exactly like in popups_test.rb.   
	My script clicks the "logout" button, the confirm popup box
appears-- but then my WATIR script hangs.  It's probably a RubyNewbie
error, but if you can see why my script doesn't go on to process the
Confirm box, please drop me a line? 

$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..')
require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'testUnitAddons'
require 'unittests/setup'

class TC_logout3 < Test::Unit::TestCase

    def gotoPopUpPage()
        $ie.goto("10.1.1.1")
    #end

   $ie.textField(:name, "txtSONum").set("username")  
   puts( '  Action: entered "username" in the order field ')

   $ie.textField(:name, "txtPassword").set("password")  
   puts( '  Action: entered "password" in password ')
   
   $ie.button(:name, "Button1").click
   puts( '  Action: clicked the Login  button. ')

   puts( 'Expected Result:  ')
   puts( ' - a page with results should be shown.  ')
  
 assert($ie.pageContainsText("Step 1") )
 
  $ie.button(:name, "cmdLogout").click
  puts( '  Action: clicked LOGOUT')
  end 
    
#SCRIPT HANGS RIGHT HERE-- I WANT IT TO PROCEED AND CLICK THE POPUP

  def test_confirm
        gotoPopUpPage()

It looks like you are not starting the pop up clicker at ht eright place:


puts( 'Expected Result:  ')
puts( ' - a page with results should be shown.  ')
 
assert($ie.pageContainsText("Step 1") )

# call the def that starts the clicker here
# I dont know what its called
startPopUpClicker()

 
  $ie.button(:name, "cmdLogout").click
  puts( '  Action: clicked LOGOUT')



.

def startPopUpCLicker()
    c = "start #{$ie.dir.gsub("/" , "\\" )}\\clickJSDialog.rb Cancel 3"
        puts "Starting #{c}"
        w = WinClicker.new
        w.winsystem(c )

Hmmm.  I could be confused, but I think this isn't the thing.  Clicking
the "cmdLogout" button actually creates the "OK/Cancel" popup dialog.
So I want to run the clicker *after* I hit the logout button, right?--
but I keep hanging.  
	However, I suspect I'm still missing a concept about either Ruby
or OO-- continuing to experiment...

JavaScript popups are weird. They are actually Windows apps, not part of
Internet Explorer. Since JavaScript is a plugin or a "helper app" which runs
within the browser, windows generated by it are not accessible via the DOM.

When a JS popup is created, it hangs Internet Explorer. IE waits until the
JavaScript App Window has been dealt with before doing anything else. So to deal
with JS popups requires thinking a bit backwards than the rest of Watir.

What to do is to have your code sort of anticipate what JS popup will occur, and
then do the action using Watir that creates it. The code to deal with the popup
has to be waiting for it before it occurs since IE is really waiting for the JS
to return with a message, so we can't do anything when that is happening.

Does that make sense? Paul can explain it better than I can.

The browser and ruby will wait and do nothing while a javascript alert is displayed.

To click them we start a second script BEFORE they are displayed. This second script will click the button and then the first script can continue

This code is really ugly and Id like to refactor it to something more user friendly. 

maybe something like:

ie.startJSCLicker( 'ok' )  # this line starts a clicker
ie.button('Open JS Window')  # this causes a js window to open

then the implementation will be simpler.

	I'm going to have to study on the unit test again.  I still
think I'm missing a concept somewhere.  
	It still seems to me that I should be able to invoke the clicker
properly, but it's not happening.   Short pseudocode is : 
	def gotoPopUpPage()
		go to URL
	end 
	def DoClicks
		gotoPopUpPage()
		log in 
			test_confirm() #starts clicker
		click logout to produce popup
	end 
	def test_confirm()
		gotoPopUpPage 
		start clicker 
	end.  

But the timing is just not working out.  Either the script hangs and
never invokes the clicker; or the clicker starts way too early and I get
a script error before I ever generate the popup.  If I can figure out a
file-only demonstration of the issue, I'll send it on.

So I'm gonna look like a complete n00b =), but here's a simple setup
that shows my problem: 
Assuming that we're running from the "unittests" directory in the
default WATIR distro: 

Put this into a file called "pop.html": 

"Type here first then click logout and process popup button.</span></TD
<TD><span id="Label1" tabindex="-1"
style="font-family:Arial;font-size:Smaller;height:22px;width:80px;">Junk
:</span><input name="junk" type="text" maxlength="12" id="junk" 
<P align="right"><input type="submit" name="cmdLogout" value="Logout"
id="cmdLogout" tabindex="-1" onClick="return confirm('Continue with
logout?');" style="width:137px;" /></P>

Then run this script against pop.html: 

##########################################
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..')
require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'testUnitAddons'
require 'unittests/setup'

class TC_logout3 < Test::Unit::TestCase

    def gotoPopUpPage()
        $ie.goto("C:\\watir3\\watir\\unittests\\pop.html")
    end

    def doClicks
    gotoPopUpPage()
    $ie.textField(:name, "junk").set("12345")  
   puts( '  Action: entered "12345" in the junk field ')

  test_confirm()
  $ie.button(:name, "cmdLogout").click

  end 
  
   def test_confirm()
        #gotoPopUpPage()
	#doClicks()
        c = "start #{$ie.dir.gsub("/" , "\\" )}\\clickJSDialog.rb" # OK
3"
        puts "Starting #{c}"
        w = WinClicker.new
        w.winsystem(c )   
        $ie.button("Confirm").click
        assert( $ie.textField(:name ,
"confirmtext").verify_contains("OK") )
	
    end
 end 
###################################################

Note that uncommenting the first call in test_confirm starts the clicker
without having loaded the page, while uncommenting doClicks results in
an endless loop that never calls the clicker.

I am unable to run these unit tests. 

What I do is as follows. I tried to run last test in the mailing list.


ruby chris.rb



../../watir.rb:475: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i386-mswin32]


This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
-------------------------------------------------

All of the unit-tests give me this error.  I think I am doing
something wrong. Is this unit tests are supposed to run in some
program like junit? Or my ruby distro have some problems?

I am using Windows 2000 Pro, Turkish Language edition.

Thank you for your time.

Sounds like the problem described below. There was a bug in Ruby 1.1.1-13. Try
upgrading to a new version of Ruby. Your Readme will tell you what version of
Ruby you have.

Thanks;

Hi...
	I had (have?) a basic misunderstanding of how WinClicker works.
I had cargo-culted stuff from the unittest into my script that broke
what I was trying to do.  
	The following script does the Right Thing in my app.  The
interesting part is that I have to invoke gotoPopUpPage again after
having clicked the JS popup thingie in order to get the script to do the
final assert statement correctly.

#########################################################

It would be nifty to be able to something like

assert($ie.page "Window 222222 Title" ContainsText("This text") )

Just a thought...

Hi Michael;

It's probably because there are two Search images. Paul and I have both run
into this before (I once tried a demo on Amazon and had problems as well),
and he has talked about adding code to Watir to handle it. I'll have to
check with Paul to see if this is enabled yet. WTR handles it, so I know
it's possible.

Essentially we drill down according to the form, and then click the image.
That gets around having two elements that are the same on a page throwing
things off. On BookPool, this will be harder as both have an action
"/.x/7ashy539k4/ss" and there is no name element. However, we can get around
it by using an array index. 

I'll ask Paul if this is enabled and how to do it in Watir. I haven't looked
at this for a couple of months.

Michael;

What Watir does in this case is to just submit the form. I'll have to dig
out the code that can do this and add it to the User Guide.

On the BookPool page, the Forms don't have unique identifiers as tag
attributes, so it makes things harder. Still doable, but harder.

On amazon.com, the "Go" button after the Search input field is in two
different forms that are easily identifiable. The first one: <form
method="post" action="/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/102-8258892-7883346"
name="searchform">
is different from the second one:
<form method="post"
action="/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/102-8258892-7883346">

On BookPool, the first form looks like this:
<FORM method=GET action="/.x/7ashy539k4/ss">
While the second looks like this:
<FORM action="/.x/7ashy539k4/ss" method=GET>

So we will have to do something different to distinguish one form from the
other. In the DOM, elements are stored in arrays, so if we can't do anything
else, we can access it by its form array element in the DOM like this:
foo = $ie.getIE().document.forms
and do a submit on the ith element in the forms array, where "i" is the form
we want.

I had to do this on a couple of e-commerce pages with WTR, but I haven't
done it with Watir yet. I'll look into it and get back to you on how best to
handle it.
  
Thanks;

-Jonathan

Subject: RE: [Wtr-general] User guide

Currently we can only click an image that is in a form, and acting like a
form button. Since plain images and text don't trigger events in the DOM
like form buttons, hyperlinks, etc., they don't have associated methods in
Windows OLE interface (which is what Watir uses). Does that make sense?
Basically if a click event triggers an action, it is supported, but we can't
click on plain text or images that don't do anything.

Paul and I have talked about clicking on any object in a page, even if it
doesn't have an event tied to it like the other objects do, but that hasn't
been implemented yet.

The Image methods you are seeing in RDoc were added for verification
actions. We use the fact of whether an image has loaded or not to ensure the
correct action has taken place.

I would like to be able to click on any object using Watir in case text or
an image has a JavaScript fireEvent() hooked to it for a mouseover to cause
a drop down menu to appear. The only reason I've found to click an image
that isn't doing a FORM submit or on plain text is to trigger JS events. Can
you think of other reasons?

We should get a story page or wishlist page up and running for Watir soon so
that feature requests can be submitted. I've been working on that, and Bret
has some ideas.

Thanks;

I'd like to see us make a release of watir real soon. I'd like to see them 
happen every week or two actually.

I may do it myself as soon as i get caught up on mail and resynced with 
this project.

I suggest we call the first release 0.1.0 and then 0.1.1 etc. At some point 
when we have something that Paul is happy with we can give it a much bigger 
number like 0.2.0 or even higher.

Bret

I'm personally more a fan of starting at 1.0 these days, unless we've 
(and when I say 'we' I mean 'y'all' :-) got a clear plan on what 
milestone constitutes a 1.0 and there's a good reason for some end-users 
to wait until 1.0. Otherwise we just keep inching towards 1.0 forever 
and ever, then you finally muster up the courage to go 1.0, and then, 
oops, there came 3 bugs, and now we've 'ruined' it and are at 1.01. :-)

That or merely a date based release number scheme (2004.12.30) or 
(2004.363) (363rd day of the year).

My half-pence.
