actually, this doesn't quite work.  ie.quit/close is an asynchronous
call to the ie com server.  as a result, the new instance of ie that
you create in your setup may connect to a com server that is in the
process of shutting down.  you can "fix" this with a sleep in your
teardown, but it's pretty ugly and unreliable.  this is a big problem
for watir IHMO.  i faced the same problem with a testing wrapper that
i wrote for IE in C#.  can't remember if i managed to fix it or not.
cheers,
owen.

I ran into a similar issue, once I had more than a few tests in the
suite. The fix I found was to make sure I always got rid of the old IE
instance in the teardown:

     def setup
         @ie = Watir::IE::new()
         @ie.goto(@startingURL)
     end
     def teardown
         if (@ie)
             @ie.close
             # needed to ensure that IE process doesn't get
             # confused by being immediately restarted
             sleep(2)
         end
     end

I had to put the sleep(2) in teardown to make sure that iexplore.exe had
a chance to do its own internal cleanup before launching a new IE instance.

When confused, check the unit test.

 From dialog_test.rb:

     def test_confirm_ok
         $ie.remote_eval <<-END
             button(:value, 'confirm').click
         END

It sounds like you are seeing two errors. What are they?

Have you looked at both WET and Watir and then chosen to use Watir? Why?

Why shouldn't we just be encouraging everyone to use WET?

This is a serious question. Is there anything that you can do with Watir 
that WET can't do?

Anyone want to help this guy out?

All you have to do is look at the code for P and Span and do the same thing 
to create a Pre.

It is a couple lines of Ruby.

Any takers?

Message-ID: <005401c5a934$da372dd0$370b7aa3@PC30>

Hi

       iam using your  tool for automating a java application.

      I'd like to know whether the following things are possible, and if yes then how?

1> I have a form with 3 text field and a select box( i.e. i choose an option from a combo box ,click the ">>" , and the chosen option moves to the adjacent combo box).
     I need to get all this data from a file i.e, i populate a excel sheet ,transfer it into a csv and then automate my form by filling in around 100 records 1 after the other.
     if i read data from a file for a select box the change is not reflected  and the application just stops .
     how do i do this?
2> If i need to run 10 test cases then how do i write the ruby script ? shoud i write the test cases linearly 1 after the other? or should i write different cases in diff ruby  
     progs?
3> How to include files into a ruby prog. for eg: in c programming,  i just have to write #include.....how can the same effect be achieved in ruby?

Subject: [Wtr-general] Any intellisense IDE for Ruby? Also WatirMaker rocks..
Message-ID: <24d0cb3805082422125dfeb663@mail.gmail.com>

I was actually checking out all the functions that Watir provides that i 
could use to interact with DOM (for now stuff like id, name, src, etc.) to 
add functionality to detect and write scripts using watirmaker and thought 
of checking out WET as well.... i dunno much thus far about it but it looks 
a bit clean and better to me. 
 As for WatirMaker, thanks for letting me know about it. Since most of stuff 
i work on constitutes manual testing, for now, i have actually added another 
control to write out text for repro steps in it, now if i spot something i 
can just copy/dump "Repro steps" in english in my bug report.. oh well a bit 
too cheezy but good start on that too, i guess... Another thing i might add 
is functionality to link variables to excel columns to to test out different 
cases...
 For now i want to know if there is any IDE for Ruby that provides 
intellisense? Ecllipse plug-in maybe anyone...?
 Any help is much appreciated.

I believe you need to have .dll file to run NUnitASP. With Watir you don't 
have to have any access to source code of application to run it..
 Also, as its' site explains:

"NUnitAsp is for unit testing ASP.NET  code-behind only. 
It's meant for programmers, not QA teams, and it's not very good for 
QA-style acceptance tests. It only tests server-side logic. JavaScript and 
other client-side code is ignored. But if you're using ASP.NET, 
it's an essential part of your programmers' toolset."(

t3=t1 + t2

puts t1
puts t3

f = File.new("testfile.txt",  "w")

How am I supposed to write the values of t1 and t3 to

I believe it would be just

f.write(t1 + "\n")
f.write(t3 + "\n")

the "\n" puts the next write on a new line

Hmm almost there but I get the following error:

'+': string can't be coerced into float (TypeError)

it has to do with the + in 

f.write(t3 + "\n")

thanks.

all done. though i was thinking that if i wanted to
update the text file and NOT replace it, I could not
use the f.write command. Is that right?

i.e. if i want to keep a log of the t1 and t3 values
for a period of 1 minute, getting the values every 10
seconds, the f.write command cannot be usefeul because
it will overwrite the inital values with the refreshed
ones within the text file.

Which command should be used in order to have in the
text file all the values taken in the last 1 minute?

thanks a lot

Well if you create your file and open it, you can just continue
writing to it no problem.  It's when you create your file, close it
for some reason then open it again later on that you might over write
it.  But in that case you just open it in append mode so nothing gets
overwritten.  Take a look at

You can use the Ruby CSV library to access data from a delimited file. Read
in a particular value, store it in a variable, and then use that variable in
place of the hardcoded value.

Here is the RDoc for CSV. I found it really easy to follow. The only problem
is if you have double quotes in some of your CSV data it throws things off.
I swapped them out (like back in the day with SQL Server) and back in when
needed.

Here is the output.  Some of it is from the scripts.  If I add sleep 5
to the second script, it works.

Hi

       iam using your  tool for automating a java application.

      I'd like to know whether the following things are possible, and if
yes then how?

1> I have a form with 3 text field and a select box( i.e. i choose an
option from a combo box ,click the ">>" , and the chosen option moves to
the adjacent combo box).
     I need to get all this data from a file i.e, i populate a excel
sheet ,transfer it into a csv and then automate my form by filling in
around 100 records 1 after the other.
     if i read data from a file for a select box the change is not
reflected  and the application just stops .
     how do i do this?
2> If i need to run 10 test cases then how do i write the ruby script ?
shoud i write the test cases linearly 1 after the other? or should i
write different cases in diff ruby  
     progs?
3> How to include files into a ruby prog. for eg: in c programming,  i
just have to write #include.....how can the same effect be achieved in
ruby?

If you use File.open you can put the code in a block also without having
to close the file after

File.open("testfile.txt", "w"){|f| f.puts t1,t2}

Since I'm not a programmer, or apparently not even a very smart
tester, it didn't occur to me even to look for a unit test, sorry! 
;->

However, I did study your example and make an attempt.  It is still
not working and I hope maybe someone can help if I post more
information.  I've had two smart coworkers who know some ruby try to
get this working, with no success.  (I don't want anyone to think we
aren't trying!)

Here is what I think is the relevant source code we have for the dialog button:
id="deleteLink1"  onclick="javascript: if (window.confirm('Are you
sure you want to delete \'Dakota Group4259\'?'))

Here is what I am trying, please see the comments within this:
    ie.link(:id, "deleteLink1").click
    # When we uncomment this block of code and comment out the
previous line, we don't get the dialog popup at all
    # ie.remote_eval <<-END
    # The ie.link is what we really do to get the dialog window to come up
    #   ie.link(:id, "deleteLink1").click
      #  Bret's example has this, but we don't hvae a button named
confirm so we commented it out:   button(:value, 'confirm').click
      #   END
      # This assert always fails if we have the previous block uncommented
      # assert dialog.exists?
     dialog.button('OK').click

(the last line is the line that gets the error)

Here is the error I get.
  1) Error:
test_manage_groups(TC_ManageGroups):
Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException:
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir/dialog.rb:34:in `click'
    C:/java/eplan70/src/watir/scripts/simple/Payroll/tc_manage_groups.rb:97:in
test_manage_groups'

Can anyone offer any pointers, or a bit of working code that clicks a
javascript alert button on some public site that I can use as an
example?

Thanks very much.  We are getting some traction with Watir, but we
have lots of these alert buttons (which is one of the reasons we are
trying Watir; our Canoo WebTest scripts also cannot click the
javascript alerts), and we will be severely limited if we can't click
them.

Summary: watir home page should have search box

Initial Comment:
No one knows how to search our mail archives. We should add a link to search them on our home page -- using google. 

Maybe we should also have an option to search our online documentation.

Message-ID: <001001c5aa09$fa4af090$0600a8c0@Mercury>

Hi 

I have had a few reports of problems when installing the new watir1.4.1
exe installer.

If you had a problem please let me know stating the following:

1.	When you install and get an error about unable to find
watir/ please click on the show details button and tell me if
the first line contains rubyw -e 
2.	Which version of the OS are you using? Win2k, XP etc
3.	Do you have a standard one click install of Ruby - in the
default location - and is ruby on your path 

Thanks

Kingsley

Subject: [Wtr-general] how to determine if checkbox is disabled
Message-ID: 

What's the best approach to know if a checkbox is disabled or not?
I could try to set it then just catch the error. but is there a method or something?

I'm using this site for reference http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Watir/
but it seems this is outdated.

Is there any other link just like the one above? Thanks in advance.

Subject: [Wtr-general] how to determine if checkbox is disabled
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: 

ie.checkbox(:id, "check_box_id").disabled

will return false if not disabled, true if disabled (works also for
other page elements that can be disabled).

Checking already checked check box does not raise error, just checks
it again (also unchecking already unchecked check box - just unchecks
it again).

Subject: [Wtr-general] Passing data between scirpts?
Message-ID: 

Hi.

Just started using WATIR and have hit this problem.  I need to pass a
variable or have a global variable so that all my scripts have access
to it.  Is this possible?

I have a port number that can change each time I start my app so I
want to be able to change this value in one place.

Any helps or links would be useful.

Thanks

       thanks for replying . but i want to know 
    1>how data can be read into a variable.Incase i have a combo box which has values>>
       Active,Inactive,Suspended,Confirmed.
       If i have to hard code it then the code will look like this:

       $ie.select_list( :name ,"body:adminView:form3:lstStatus").select("Inactive") 

       I have a .txt file from  which am reading Inactive then how do i do it?
       my text looks like this

     /* exp.txt

                                             j++

Read your text from the text file:

textfile:
data1
data2
Inactive

data = File.readlines("textfile.txt")
$ie.select_list( :name ,"body:adminView:form3:lstStatus").select(data[2])

Line 1 of your text file is data1, ruby starts counting at 0 - so line 3
of your text file is
read into the array data at position 2

- ----

You can also do this with the datahandler.rb I mailed

You would put your data like this:

CheckBoxStatus
Inactive

require 'datahandler'
d = DataHandler.new("data.csv")
inactive = d.data[0].CheckBoxStatus

$ie.select_list( :name ,"body:adminView:form3:lstStatus").select(inactive)

Hope that helps

Thanks

Summary: Homepage too wide

Initial Comment:
The Watir homepage is set to a width of 150px + 946px, fixed. This is really annoying, as the page requires right/left scrolling even with the window fully maximized (at least on my 17" monitor with screen area set to 1152x864; even worse on my 12" iBook).

Suggest using a standard page width or use a % width to allow the page to resize.

Message-ID: <20050826174145.48989.qmail@web80108.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi Everybody,

I started using WATIR to write my first web
application test script two ago.

-- The web page I am testing has approximately 6 input
boxes and 7 drop down boxes for each record. And I am
displaying 10 records per page. To view more user have
to use 'Next >>' or '<< Previous' buttons.

I started with hard coded values to have a feel of
WATIR. The script is working but I was planning to use
it to load the web server / database by creating 200
sessions. And each session creating 1 form having
approx 50 transactions.

Using the script I created couple of forms but each
form is taking approximately 12-14 min for 20
transactions.

I am attaching the script for the review. Please help
me me in making the script more efficient. Because the
test case I am handling needs 200 such sessions.

Thank you very much.

Murtaza

Message-ID: 

It sounds like you are doing load testing which is not what I think
WATiR is intended for.

WATiR is meant for functional/procedural testing.

If you are simply wanting to load/perf-test large quantities of
simultaneous sessions on the system ... That would possibly be better

That's my $0.02 ... YMMV

Message-ID: 

There is usually a clean way to build something into an object instead
of simply blasting things to a global variable.

If all of your tests are within a single TestCase object, then you can
easily use instance variables for that class ( @blah ) and then all of
the methods within that instance object will have access.

Beyond that, if you have multiple separate TestCase objects then you
either need to use something like a global ( even if that global is
simply an object to hold your real globals ... still not the
recommended solution ... globals are almost always sloppy ) or maybe
serialize your values out to environment variables or a properties
file and have each class load it... ( Think YAML! )

Those are the options I would use... Hope that helps.

Message-ID: 

Just so you know, this doesn't do what you think:
   ie.frame("main").frame("sidebar").wait("analysisSidebarTabContent")
It's actually the same as
   ie.frame("main").frame("sidebar").wait(true)

Hmm!  So the statement I used is actually is checking to see if the
"sidebar" is there and NOT the "analysisSideBarTabContent"?

Should I use this then for the analysisSideBarTabContent?

ie.frame("main").frame("sidebar").frame("analysisSidebarTabContent").wait(tr

ie.checkbox(:id, "check_box_id").disabled

will return false if not disabled, true if disabled (works also for
other page elements that can be disabled).

Checking already checked check box does not raise error, just checks
it again (also unchecking already unchecked check box - just unchecks

Hi Bret,

Yes, we can provide the unittests once we are ready for the release, which we'll be doing very soon. We had modified the 'watir.rb' for adding the XPath support. So we need the latest 'watir.rb' so that we can do the neccessary changes.

Regards,
Angrez

We had originally planned to do some more testing but if people might find it useful to have it available earlier we'll do it sooner.

Summary: Error with XML data and link inside DIV tag

Initial Comment:
When accessing a link inside a DIV tag, where the link is associated with an XML data island (is this what they're called?), Watir generates an error when trying to call the click method.

This error appeared in version 1.3.  Initially I thought it was related to nested frames, but it seems to be related to a link in a DIV, or related to the XML data embedded in the page.

This code:

require 'Watir'
include Watir
$ie=IE.attach(:title,"Test")
$ie.showLinks  #(links are shown)
$ie.link(:text,"Create").click  #(returns an error)

Generates this error:

WIN32OLERuntimeError: tags

   HRESULT error code:0x80020003

Subject: [Wtr-general] Key / value pairs.
Message-ID: 

This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below.

Hello all,

I'm new to Watirr (and Ruby), so forgive me if the question is rather 
simplistic...

What I'd like to do, is to have a configuration file (eg. config.txt), 
which would have a number of key/value pairs, such as "UserName=user", 
which would be read by a test script to, for example, log into a page. 
Hence, what I need, is a method to read each line in a given file; strip 
off the comments (if exist; denoted by #); find the pair based on the key 
(ie. UserName) and get the value (ie. user) and store it in a variable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Leon

Hi.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I have only just started with WATiR so
still feeling my way into it.  OO is a bit of a new thing for me and I
need to get some thing up and running quickly to demostrate the
benefit of automation.

I have started with a driver script to call my test scripts.  In the
driver script I have set up the environment variables (servers, port
number) for all the called scripts to use.

Where is the usual place for Watir people to store test and envionrment data?

Thank for the help.

I think this question answered before. You can search archives. But I
added this to wiki FAQ. I also give wiki text here.

Q. What I'd like to do, is to have a configuration file (eg.
config.txt), which would have a number of key/value pairs, such as
"UserName=user", which would be read by a test script to, for example,
log into a page.

A.  You can use ruby file for this. i.e
$user_name = 'atilla'
$last_name = 'ozgur'

save this as initialValues.rb

then in your script you can require initialValues.rb classes and
variables is ready for your use. Do not forget that these are global
variables. Maybe a class and class variables would be more suitable
for this. They will be more encapsulated in that way.

class initialValues
  @@user_name = 'atilla'
  @@last_name = 'ozgur'

end

Note: A variable prefixed with two at signs is a class variable,
accessible within both instance and class methods of the class.

Then you can use them as.

initialValues.user_name
initialValues.last_name

this way, related values will have their place.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Undefined method getObject when attempting to do a
	set on a text field.
Message-ID: <71ef6790050829053218be6dbb@mail.gmail.com>

I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked.  I'm
new to the list and the hunting and pecking in the archives didn't
turn up an answer.  (Aside: is there a search engine on the archives?)

My problem is I'm getting an error when attempting to do a very simple
assignment to a text field.

require 'WET'
include WET

ie=Browser.new()
ie.goto "http://"
ie.show_all_objects

puts "username object exists: " + ie.TextField("name:=username").to_s
ie.TextField("name:=username").set('first.last')

My output confirms that the username field does in fact exist on the page:

username object exists: WebEdit(name:=username)

But then I get this exception: 

D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3205:in `locate': undefined
method `getObject' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
	from D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1766:in `assert_exists'
	from D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3368:in `set'
	from D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/qantom/webobjects/WebEdit.rb:59:in `set'
	from D:/ruby/myRuby/AdminTest/simple.rb:9

I'm not sure if this is a WET issue or a Watir issue.  What I'm running on is: 
-	Win XP
-	Watir v1.4
-	WET v0.5.1 (for water v1.4, doesn't include the optional component)

Watir by itself access the website just fine, however I have
JavaScript pop-ups so I'm attempting to use WET to access those.

The URL and username do not contain any extended characters.

Assistance is greatly appreciated!

Hi Stephanie,

Are you using a released version of Watir 1.4 or something off the SCM 
repository?

I was trying to locate the source of the problem from your stack trace:

	from D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:1766:in `assert_exists'
	from D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3368:in `set'

and in the version(s) of Watir1.4 that I have, I could not find neither
assert_exists method in line number 1766 nor 'set' method at 3368. If you 
are using a version from the SCM could you tell me the exact revision number
so that I could check the same version out here and try it. 

Thanks
Raghu

Raghu,

I installed 1.4 originally then I overwrote that installation via the
gem.  The gem is listed as 1.4.1.
Thanks for looking into this!

Subject: [Wtr-general] Clicking OK in MS Explorer Popup window
Message-ID: 

Hi.

I am deleting an item in my application and I have a 'Microsoft
Internet Explorer' popup window with Ok and Cancel.

I am unable to click the OK button.  This is what I have tried so far:
1.
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /Microsoft Internet Explorer/)
ie.button(:value, "OK").click

2. 
require 'watir\winClicker.rb'
w.clickWindowsButton("Microsoft Internet Explorer" , "&OK" )

But neither work.  Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

Hi Stephanie,

This is getting intersting. I just did a gem install of watir myself, 
but still
couldn't find the method 'locate' as shown by:

D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3205:in 
`locate': undefined

However I got the latest version HEAD version from cvs
repository and that version _does_ have the locate method
that is giving you the trouble. I took a quick look at that 
code and unfortunately wet's current version wont work 
with that implementation. For the current version of WET 
you need to make sure that you use the version that got 
installed off from the gem and not the CVS version. 

Your best bet may be to simply copy the Watir.rb from 
d:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir-1.4.1.rb to 
D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb 

Thanks
Raghu

Raghu,

My simple case works!  But I had to replace all the .rb files from the
gem, not just the watir one. I have no idea how I got the CVS version
of Watir installed.  Thanks so much for the help!

Subject: [Wtr-general] Consolidate scripts into a master test plan
Message-ID: <1641BB0AA7287848817A63C3EE9677D5079EC306@hqp-ex-mb05.na.msds.rhi.com>

Hi,

I've been writing a test script for each individual test case.  How do I
consolidate all my test scripts into a master test script so all I would
need to execute is the master test script?  Will I need to make each
testcase a function?

Thanks,
Ben

Message-ID: 

There are a number of ways you can do it.

You should use the Ruby Test::Unit framework.

>From there, you can either wrap each of your existing test scripts
with a function and have one test case object that contains all of
them

Or you can build a separate class to wrap each of your scripts and
then build a TestSuite object to call all of those ...

Either one works, it really depends on the size of your scripts and
how much of the functionality of those tests is duplicated, because
wrapping multiple of those in the same TestCase object would then
allow you to break out that functionality and therefore not repeat
yourself.

Hope that made sense... Ask if you need more detail.

            property = split[0].gsub(/\s*/, "")
            value = split[1].gsub(/$\s*/, "").gsub(/^\s*/, "")
            config_hash.store(property,MyConfig.new(property, value))
        end
        return config_hash
    end

end

myConfig = MyConfig.new("config.txt").properties
config_option_name = myConfig['OPTION_NAME].property
config_option_value = myConfig['OPTION_NAME'].value

config.txt

# Lines with a # are ignored
OPTION_NAME = put some value here
OPTION_2 = more options

Hope it's useful

This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below.

Hello all, 

I'm new to Watirr (and Ruby), so forgive me if the question is rather
simplistic... 

What I'd like to do, is to have a configuration file (eg. config.txt),
which would have a number of key/value pairs, such as "UserName=user",
which would be read by a test script to, for example, log into a page.
Hence, what I need, is a method to read each line in a given file; strip
off the comments (if exist; denoted by #); find the pair based on the
key (ie. UserName) and get the value (ie. user) and store it in a
variable. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Regards 

Leon

That's one way to do it ... Another is to use YAML which has a pretty
heavy following with the Ruby community in general...

So, the following would do the same ... 

You can simply use a hash to store things... Here's a quick script to
load up a sample

--SCRIPT--
require 'yaml'

config = Hash.new
config["username"] = "joe"
config["password"] = "pass"
config["foo"] = "bar"
config["baz"] = 5
config["zoo"] = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

File.open( "config.yaml", "w" ) { |file| file << config.to_yaml }
--SCRIPT--

Then in your normal script you can get to this as simply as: 

--SCRIPT--

require 'yaml'

config = YAML.load( File.new( 'config.yaml' ) )

config.each_pair { |key,value| puts "#{ key } -- #{ value }" }
--SCRIPT--

It's that easy ... YAML is pretty cool.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Key / value pairs.
Message-ID: 

I'm going to be using YAML to keep values that will be use to fill
very very long forms. Once of the nice things about YAML is that is 
supports comments.

Since I'm writing the YAML by hand, I need to validate the YAML before I use it.
The way I do it is to run the following file in SciTE an then look at the error reported.

---my code starts----

require 'yaml'
require 'pp'

tree = YAML::load( File.open( 'file.yml' ))
#print the yaml file
puts "\nthis is the yaml\n"
puts tree.to_yaml

#the structure produced 
puts "\nthis is the stucture from this yaml\n\n"
pp tree

---end of code-------

Anyone know a better tool to parses YAML and gives error message?

I'm pretty sure than none of the Watir releases included the 'locate' 
method -- that is only in head.

When we created the 1.4.1 release, we were careful to only include minor 
fixes and updates that we were pretty sure would not break WET (for 1.4).

It may be worth noting that the regular installers (either the old 1.4 and 
earlier or the new 1.4.1 one-click installer) install watir into a 
different location than the gem. I do not know what happens if watir is 
installed both ways. I suspect that one would overrule the other, but i 
don't know which.

The best bet is to uninstall one version of Watir before installing a new 
version. Both of the installers for 1.4.1 have uninstall options. (Prior to 
that we didn't.)

I just wanted to point out that one of the great things about Ruby is that 
you can implement suggestions like this without actually changing watir.rb. 
Thus:

   class ObjectActions
         def visible?
                 object_exist_check
                 return false if @o.style.visibility == "hidden"
                 return true
         end
   end

You can load this code and add the feature right away. You don't have to 
patch watir.rb or wait for us to include it in a release. (If you look in 
watir.rb, you'll see that we actually add methods to the String and Regexp 
classes ourselves.)

This is one of the few features of Ruby that put it way ahead of what you 
can do in Python. The technical description of this feature is 'classes are 
always open.' (Actually you *can* freeze classes in Ruby, but i've never 
seen it done.)

(Also note that the ObjectActions class was renamed as Elements in 1.4)

Subject: [Wtr-general] Watir attracts Ruby Newbies
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050829234743.02b794b0@127.0.0.1>

Watir is rapidly attracting users. (We pronounce it 'water'.)

Many of our users are new to Ruby and even new to object-oriented languages.

In fact, they can't tell where Watir ends and Ruby begins. Thus, they end 
up asking lots of questions to the Watir mailing list 
(wtr-general at rubyforge.org) that are really just Ruby questions.

I gave a presentation of Watir's precursor at the Ruby Conference 2003 in 
Austin. At that time, i said that we were using Ruby as our scripting 
language because it was intuitive and easy to learn for non-programmers.

But now they are wanting to read data from spreadsheets or csv files or 
initialization files. Or they want to create libraries. Or they want help 
with Test::Unit.

I consider myself middling in my Ruby skills. I've heard meta-classes 
explained at least three times and still don't understand them. But i'm one 
of the more knowledgable people on the list.

We could use your help. If you are interested in helping new users learn 
how to use Ruby, please consider joining our mailing list. (Or you could 
just help Brian with his book.)

Oh, and BTW, we now have a gem for Watir ('gem install watir'). It has unit 
tests and rdoc. And yes, Watir only works on Windows and only with Internet 
Explorer. I offer apologies to the OSS gods.

You can run watir with the -b switch to make it faster. We are also working 
on other methods to improve performance.

But 200 sessions is a lot for watir. Most boxes cannot support that many 
instances of IE, whether you are using watir or just creating IE sessions 
manually.

So i agree with Jeff.

Here is some code that i've written. I'm trying to create a suite.rb that 
could automatically run plain ruby scripts in the Test::Unit framework. I 
think this would help a lot of the users who find Test::Unit confusing.

But i can't quite get the script to run correctly. Any hints? It's an easy 
problem, until you try to make assertions work.

class TestSuite < Test::Unit::TestCase
   @binding = binding
   require 'test/unit/assertions'
   include Test::Unit::Assertions
   def test_lab5_1
     script = File.read('lab5_1.rb')
     class_eval(script, @binding, 'lab5_1.rb')
   end
end

actually, this doesn't quite work.  ie.quit/close is an asynchronous
call to the ie com server.  as a result, the new instance of ie that
you create in your setup may connect to a com server that is in the
process of shutting down.  you can "fix" this with a sleep in your
teardown, but it's pretty ugly and unreliable.  this is a big problem
for watir IHMO.  i faced the same problem with a testing wrapper that
i wrote for IE in C#.  can't remember if i managed to fix it or not.
cheers,
owen.

I remember complaining about this problem to Chris Morris when i was just a 
user of his IE Controller. I think he fixed it. Someone want to check the 
history of that project. Chris?

Maybe the answer is to avoid shutting down the COM server until you are 
done running tests.

One way would be to reuse the same client with your tests. That is what we 
do with the Watir unit tests. Another would be create an invisible ie at 
the beginning and not shut it down in the end. If we have one client 
reference, closing other ie instances won't also shutdown the server.

For IE Controller:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=241

* Added fix for the RPC intermittent bug that would occur of an instance
   of ie/iec was created too soon after a previous one was killed.

Code change to def initialize():

         # creating a new IE instance immediately after quiting a previous one
         # causes intermittent RPC unavailable errors and other weirdness.
         # Make sure to wait 1 second after eating before swimming...
         until (Time.now - @@closed_last) > 1; sleep 0.1; end if @@closed_last

immediate preceeds:

         @ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')

Any reason we shouldn't add this code to Watir?

That's pretty cool 

Looks YAML is the way forward there

Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Key / value pairs.

That's one way to do it ... Another is to use YAML which has a pretty
heavy following with the Ruby community in general...

So, the following would do the same ... 

You can simply use a hash to store things... Here's a quick script to
load up a sample

--SCRIPT--
require 'yaml'

config = Hash.new
config["username"] = "joe"
config["password"] = "pass"
config["foo"] = "bar"
config["baz"] = 5
config["zoo"] = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

File.open( "config.yaml", "w" ) { |file| file << config.to_yaml }
--SCRIPT--

Then in your normal script you can get to this as simply as: 

--SCRIPT--

require 'yaml'

config = YAML.load( File.new( 'config.yaml' ) )

config.each_pair { |key,value| puts "#{ key } -- #{ value }" }
--SCRIPT--

It's that easy ... YAML is pretty cool.

Hope that helps.

Hi

I have the following popup window:

I have tried to the following but it does not work:
new_window = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /Kabira Order Processing - Microsoft 
Internet Explorer/)

I get the following message:

How can I attach to this window?

HI Nishita.

I have added the code as it is but it does not find the window. Do I need to 
change anything the the code you supplied?

My test just stops when the popup window appears. 

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help

Try this

instead of

Watir drives IE. It's suitable for testing any application that uses IE as a 
client. It will only test that level - as if a user is accessing the app with 
IE.

You probably want unit tests in .NET as well, to test lower level stuff, 
functions, classes, etc. Use NUnit for that.

Cheers,
Dave

Subject: [Wtr-general] Connecting to a second window
Message-ID: 

Thanks.I tried that and still had the same problem. I have just noticed
that when I hover over the link with the mouse the path to the page for
the second window is displayed in the status bar, but this does not
include the name of the file. I am wondering if this is the problem.

Try this

$ieAbout = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /About KALIDO MDM/)

instead of

$ieAbout = IE.attach(:title, /About KALIDO MDM/)

The last line put to the command console is attach failed. So I assume
that it is the attach that has failed

I am trying to evaluate a performance tool for my application. 

1. The architecture -> front-end designed with Access forms. Back-end is SQL
server. The front-end talks to the backed through OLEDB. 
2. Objective is to determine the response time of every sub-form, controls,
etc.....

Would like to know some tools for the same.

Thanks,

HI Nishita.

I have added the code as it is but it does not find the window. Do I need to

change anything the the code you supplied?

My test just stops when the popup window appears. 

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help

Subject: [Wtr-general] Problems with Assert method
Message-ID: 

Good morning WATIR experts,

I apologize for such an elementary post, but I am having difficulty getting
the assert methods to function.  I believe my issue is fundamental.  Is it
how I am attempting to use assertions? Is it  path or environment related?

We have been able to write some really nice WATIR scripts, but I believe in
order for our testing to be more successful we need the unit tests methods
working.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  You will find code and
results below.  I am using Eclipse to do this development.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Carl

Here is my simplified code:

# feature tests for Text Fields
# revision: $Revision: 1.26 $

$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 ==
__FILE__
require '/Apps/watir_bonus/unitTests/setup'

class TC_Fields < Test::Unit::TestCase
    include Watir

    def setup

        puts "Set URL variable"
        test_site = 'http://www.yahoo.com'

        puts "Start New Browser"
            ie = IE.new

        puts "Setup: go to the test site: " + test_site

            ie.goto(test_site)

            #puts "Assertion Test in Position A"
            #assert($ie.text_field(:id, "v1").exists?)

        end

     def Test1

        puts "Assertion Test in Position B"
            assert($ie.text_field(:id, "v1").exists?)

     end
end

This is the result if I place the assertion in position A.

Hi.

I noticed in your assert you have '$ie' but else where you have 'ie'. Could 
that be the problem?

Good morning WATIR experts,

I apologize for such an elementary post, but I am having difficulty getting 
the assert methods to function.  I believe my issue is fundamental.  Is it
how I am attempting to use assertions? Is it  path or environment related?

We have been able to write some really nice WATIR scripts, but I believe in 
order for our testing to be more successful we need the unit tests methods
working.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  You will find code and
results below.  I am using Eclipse to do this development. 

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Here is my simplified code:

# feature tests for Text Fields
# revision: $Revision: 1.26 $

$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname (__FILE__), '..') if $0 ==
__FILE__
require '/Apps/watir_bonus/unitTests/setup'

class TC_Fields < Test::Unit::TestCase
    include Watir

    def setup

        puts "Set URL variable" 
        test_site = 'http://www.yahoo.com'

        puts "Start New Browser"
            ie = IE.new

        puts "Setup: go to the test site: " + test_site 

            ie.goto(test_site)

            #puts "Assertion Test in Position A"
            #assert($ie.text_field(:id, "v1").exists?)

        end

     def Test1

        puts "Assertion Test in Position B"
            assert($ie.text_field(:id, "v1").exists?)

     end
end

This is the result if I place the assertion in position A.

Subject: [Wtr-general] assert PASSED and FAILED
Message-ID: 

Hi.

I have the following assert below. When this code is executed I get both 
PASSED and FAILED messages reported??

begin
assert($ie.contains_text("TestGroup"))
$logger.log("test_CreateGroupTest-TestGroup Found-TestGroup Found-PASSED") 
$logger.log_results("test_CreateGroupTest", "TestGroup Found", "TestGroup 
Found", "PASSED") 
rescue =>e
puts("TEST FAILED." + e.message + "\n" + e.backtrace.join("\n")) 
$logger.log_results("test_CreateGroupTest", "TestGroup Found", "TestGroup 
NOT Found", "FAILED") 
end

This is the output

This code is a modified version of the code in textfields_test.rb, so I
believe the syntax is accurate.  I changed Test1 to test1, which provides
the same result.  I also removed the $ from the ie and I get this

My gut is telling me it is something with my development environment.  If
someone has a moment please copy and execute this script in your

You shouldn't use assert in this situation. Instead:

if $ie.contains_text("TestGroup")
     $logger.log("test_CreateGroupTest-TestGroup Found-TestGroup 
Found-PASSED")
     $logger.log_results("test_CreateGroupTest", "TestGroup Found", 
"TestGroup Found", "PASSED")
else
     puts("TEST FAILED." + e.message + "\n" + e.backtrace.join("\n"))
     $logger.log_results("test_CreateGroupTest", "TestGroup Found", 
"TestGroup NOT Found", "FAILED")
end

ie won't work. that is a local variable. $ie is global and will be valid in

Subject: [Wtr-general] What is the best way to access a div based on :text?
Message-ID: <30078ddb050830114316cec6e2@mail.gmail.com>

Does anyone know of a good way to access a div based on text?  I havebeen using the following code:
ie.div(:index, 13).click
Unfortunately, the index may change and it would be better to accessthe div using :text.
To do this, I have changed my code to the following:  
        ie.divs.each { |d|               if (d.text == "Logout") then                 d.click                 break              end          }  
I am new to Ruby and was wondering if there is a better way.  My codejust doesn't look as nice and clean as ie.div(:index, 13).click.
BTW ? Watir is great!  How I came to Watir is a long story, but I havebeen using it for a month.  I run about 240 test cases a day.  I useWatir along with Test::Unit::Report, which produces nice HTML reportsfor management and XML for the metrics folks.

You may want to take a look at how Wet does it. There is no support as yet
in Wet for accessing 'div' elements, but there are ways to do it for 
similar tags like
table, row & cell. You should be able to use the same technique to say,
ie.div(:text, "...")

I though I must add a couple great reasons why Watir(+Ruby) makes a lot 
more
sense than those $$$ automation tools.

Today while running through our automated scripts that are being developed
for a module that iself is under development, many scripts failed due to the
fact that some object names changed. Since all my object references are
in a centralized Object Repository, it only took me a few minutes to get the
script back in order.

Prior to Watir, I have not had this much success in having a parallelism 
in product
development with test automation (UI) development. In fact most tool 
vendors
only suggest that the automation should start when the product is 
stable.  The
$$$ tool vendor's only weapon against this is a 'record and playback' 
option.
I dont intend to start this war here, but those who have used record and 
playback
know what it's worth.

Even if it is not possible to test the UI before complete development, I 
think it
should be possible to start the test automation scripting process with a 
prototype.

This episode takes my memory back to a couple of years where I was in a 
similar
situation and I had to build some extensions to get our product work 
with a proprietory
(and heavily expensive) tool. First, it took me a while and a few 
support mail
exchanges to get them to accept that the tool can't do what I wanted - 
both in the
basic form and their supposed 'advanced scripting mode'. Then when I had 
to start
building an enhancement to workaround the problem, an equal amount of 
time was
spent exchanging questions both with the support folks and the 
discussion forums
to find some useful information about some 'helper' libraries that were 
shipped along
with their product CD.

With Watir - no issues. In just over a month, not only did we have a 
bunch of scripts
automated, we built all the enhancements that we needed - Oh  - the 
possibilities of
open source!

A great tool ! A great community behind it!

Hi,
  I'm trying to open a right click context menu and then select an item. Via 
Watir of course. Any pointers? Ordinarily I might be able to figure this 
out, but in this case view source is turned off, and just getting to this 
frame was quite an experience, there are treeviews within frames within 
frames, and almost nothing had a name or id, I had to use sleeps, indexes, 
etc. Somehow I got to where I needed to go. But now I can't do this simple 
thing, open the context menu. Any pointers would be appreciated.
 Thanks,
Mike

In your test, I dont see you click the link - you seem to also display 'goto link failed' before going to it.

Maybe try this

         begin
                 statusMessage="Click Link"
                 aboutlink=$ie.link(:text,"About").click
                 statusMessage="attaching to new window"
                 $ieAbout = IE.attach(:title, /About KALIDO MDM/)
                 assert($ieAbout.title=="About KALIDO MDM","Failed to invoke About")
         rescue
                 errorstring ="Failed while " + statusMessage

Subject: [Wtr-general] Running tests in source code order
Message-ID: <47771544775097.47750974777154@shaw.ca>

Here is some code that runs tests in source code order. I pretty certain Bret posted how to do this ( by overriding the suite method) but he didnt provide any code.

This only works if there is one class that does tests in the file, but Im sure someone can figure out how to fix that

#
#  Example of how to override the suite method of Testcase to run tests in source order
#
#  Only works if there is one class that runs tests

require 'test/unit'

module Test
  module Unit
    class TestCase
        def self.suite

            lines = IO.readlines(__FILE__) 
            tests = lines.grep(/^ *(def test)/){ |line| line.strip.gsub('def ' , '') }

            suite =  TestSuite.new(name)
            tests.each do |this_test|
                puts "Adding test " + this_test
                catch(:invalid_test) do
                    suite << new(this_test)
                end
            end
            if (suite.empty?)
                 catch(:invalid_test) do
                    suite << new(:default_test)
                end
            end
            return suite
        end
    end
  end
end

class Tester 

I think i've got it. Really.

When you click on the one-click installer (watir-1.4.1.exe) IE gives you a 
choice:
1. Open
2. Save

If you choose Open, the install will fail and the installer directory will 
be blank and you will get an error about \watir\AutoIt.chm.

If you choose Save and then install it from there, it will install correctly.

I'm just curious. Is the second window already there upon running the program? if not maybe you could try putting wait(5) before the attach just to be  sure.

what's the exact error message?
and what's the exact title of the page when you view the source?

me some advice about why this may be failing. Thanks def
test_03_ViewAbout
		puts "Test 3...View About"
		goToSignOnPage()
		login()
		begin
			statusMessage="Invoking About"
			aboutlink=$ie.getLink(:text,"About")
			statusMessage="goto link failed"
			puts("goto link failed")
			$ie.goto(aboutlink.href)
			puts("attach failed")
			statusMessage="attach failed"
			$ieAbout = IE.attach(:title, /About KALIDO MDM/)
			statusMessage="assert failed"
			assert($ieAbout.title=="About KALIDO
MDM","Failed to invoke About")
			statusMessage="close failed"
			$ieAbout.close		
		rescue
			errorstring ="Failed while " + statusMessage
			failTest(3,errorstring)	
		end
	end

hope this helps.

try using .exist? instead of .exists?

I believe .exists? is deprecated.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Problems with Assert method

Good morning WATIR experts,

I apologize for such an elementary post, but I am having difficulty getting
the assert methods to function.  I believe my issue is fundamental.  Is it
how I am attempting to use assertions? Is it  path or environment related?

We have been able to write some really nice WATIR scripts, but I believe in
order for our testing to be more successful we need the unit tests methods
working.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  You will find code and
results below.  I am using Eclipse to do this development.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Carl

Here is my simplified code:

# feature tests for Text Fields
# revision: $Revision: 1.26 $

$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 ==
__FILE__
require '/Apps/watir_bonus/unitTests/setup'

class TC_Fields < Test::Unit::TestCase
    include Watir

    def setup

        puts "Set URL variable"
        test_site = 'http://www.yahoo.com'

        puts "Start New Browser"
            ie = IE.new

        puts "Setup: go to the test site: " + test_site

            ie.goto(test_site)

            #puts "Assertion Test in Position A"
            #assert($ie.text_field(:id, "v1").exists?)

        end

     def Test1

        puts "Assertion Test in Position B"
            assert($ie.text_field(:id, "v1").exists?)

     end
end

This is the result if I place the assertion in position A.

There is a strong community of Watir users in Bangalore: at Qantom, 
ThoughtWorks and Honeywell, to name just a few companies. There is also a 
strong community of Watir users there. I believe the 
ruby-india at yahoogroups.com is the place to learn more.

Hi Nishita,

You could try the WET add-on. This addon handles the popup files quite 
well.

Thanks

Subject: [Wtr-general] WAIT statement didn't wait?
In-Reply-To: 
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050830230206.02ec4fa8@127.0.0.1>

Actually, ie.wait(true) would do the same thing.

Here is the code for Frame#wait:

         def wait(no_sleep = false)
             @container.wait(no_sleep)
         end

It simply passes the wait call up to the container of the frame (the ie 
object).

What wait does is wait for the page to finish loading; it automatically 
checks sub frames. It sounds like what you want to do is wait until a 
particular object exists. We don't have anything like that in Watir.

We are getting many requests on this list, like that below, which are 
really questions about Ruby and not specific to Watir.

Ruby is a general purpose scripting language and there are a lot more 
people available to answer such general questions on the 
ruby-talk at ruby-lang.org mailing list.

Such questions are also welcome here, but if your question is not getting 
answered you may want to ask on the other list.

If this is a modal popup, then you can't attach to it.

If you click on the main window, but the popup window stays on top, then it 
is modal.

If it's small, you can try handling it with AutoIt.

Sorry folks.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Running tests in source code order
In-Reply-To: <47771544775097.47750974777154@shaw.ca>
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050830233227.02ef0148@127.0.0.1>

A simpler method is simply to embed line numbers in your test names...

def test_001_something
end

def test_002_another_thing
end

Or, you can simply remove the code that explicitly puts the tests in 
alphabetical order.

Here's the original code:

       # Rolls up all of the test* methods in the fixture into
       # one suite, creating a new instance of the fixture for
       # each method.
       def self.suite
         method_names = public_instance_methods(true)
         tests = method_names.delete_if {|method_name| method_name !~ /^test./}
         suite = TestSuite.new(name)
         tests.sort.each do
           |test|
           catch(:invalid_test) do
             suite << new(test)
           end
         end
         if (suite.empty?)
           catch(:invalid_test) do
             suite << new(:default_test)
           end
         end
         return suite
       end

Here it is without the sorting behavior:

       # Rolls up all of the test* methods in the fixture into
       # one suite, creating a new instance of the fixture for
       # each method.
       def self.suite
         method_names = public_instance_methods(true)
         tests = method_names.delete_if {|method_name| method_name !~ /^test./}
         suite = TestSuite.new(name)
         tests.each do  ### change made here
           |test|
           catch(:invalid_test) do
             suite << new(test)
           end
         end
         if (suite.empty?)
           catch(:invalid_test) do
             suite << new(:default_test)
           end
         end
         return suite
       end

I haven't tested this change, but i think this will give you the tests in 
the order you want.

WRONG WRONG WRONG.

The link actually points to a mail message where i said this exist?/exists? 
advice is wrong. And it is.

Bret

P.S. As early posts have pointed out the OP's issue actually relates to the 
use of local variables.

Hi.

I have followed the documentation at 
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/watir_user_guide.html and I can not see why I 
shouldn't use assert?? Are there some rules to using assert? 

The thing I don't understand is that very similar code in test_logger1.rb 
works but mine does not. I have not worked out the difference.

Thanks
Ian

Message-ID: 

Thanks for this. It is a pop up that is invoked using java script. I
have been looking for AutoIt in the Watir API, but can not find it.

If this is a modal popup, then you can't attach to it.

If you click on the main window, but the popup window stays on top, then
it is modal.

If it's small, you can try handling it with AutoIt.

Sorry folks.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Javascript dialogs - reading and closing
Message-ID: <001101c5ae03$079c8400$6402a8c0@telperion>

Hi List,

I've been using the following script to read and close javascript
alert() and confirm() dialogs in Watir. It could fairly easily be extended to 
deal with file choosers, as I saw someone asking for earlier.

To be clear, it will wait a dialog to be shown and close it using the given 
button, and it can test for certain text in the dialog itself. It lets you do 
this:

require 'js_dialog'

assert_js_dialog do
  @ie.button(:value, "Alert test").click
end

assert_js_dialog /sample dialog text/, "Cancel" do
  @ie.button(:value, "Confirm test").click
end

Code below.

Cheers,
Dave

what's the exact error message?

I have removed the incorrect and confusing examples from the user guide. 
Thanks for pointing out the errors:

1. "if assert..." never works. Assert does not return a value.
2. "assert_false" is actually not part of test::unit. Use "assert !" instead.
3. "begin/assert/rescue" is really a bad idea and we will stop suggesting it.

I will post the update to the website shortly. In the mean time, the 
revised doc is attached.

Will you describe installation of watir as gem in user guide? I think it is
the most simple way.

I *like* begin/assert/rescue.  It's my friend.  Why is it a bad idea?

Subject: [Wtr-general] breakpoint and scite
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050831100736.030222c0@127.0.0.1>

I often teach ruby to people and usually use scite to do this. It's quick 
and easy and F5 is very convenient. I also use scite when i am working on 
lab machines. (Otherwise I use eclipse when i can.)

When i use breakpoint with a script that i am running from scite using F5, 
the irb session shows up in the scite sidebar. I can type at this prompt, 
and it works, but backspaces and paste don't register. So i have to be a 
really good typist. (Don't register means that the text looks right, but 
then i get an error from IRB that shows that it didn't get the pasted text 
and did get the text i thought had backspaced away.)

I realize i can get this to work running from a command shell.

But is there a way i can get breakpoint to work in scite?

(BTW, if i run IRB from within SCITE, i get the same problem plus whatever 
i typed is echo'd. So '1+1' displays as '11++11', although i still get a 
return value of 2. This is a problem that i care less about.)

Subject: [Wtr-general] Running tests in source code order
Message-ID: <4835721482e978.482e9784835721@shaw.ca>

unfortunately, I dont think it does. The public_instance_methods method, seems to return methods in a random order (im sure its not random, it just looks random)

class Tester 

    def test_020
        puts "020"
    end

    def test_030
        puts "030"
    end

    def test_100
        puts "100"
    end

    def test_010
        puts "010"
    end
end

puts Tester.public_instance_methods.grep(/test_/).join("\n")

gives this:

test_030
test_100
test_010
test_020

Subject: [Wtr-general] Where is object_exist_check?
Message-ID: <71ef6790050831085265b2ab35@mail.gmail.com>

I have a very simple script that attempts to log into a website. I'm trying 
to use WET as well as I have windows popups to test later on. 

When attempting to press the login button I'm getting this error: 

1) Error:
test_remove_category_missing_name(TC_sample_tests):
NameError: undefined local variable or method `object_exist_check' for 
#
D:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/qantom/webobjects/WebObject.rb:37:in `click'
D:/ruby/myRuby/AdminTest/WETCat.rb:22:in `setup'

Here is the important part of the script:
require 'WET'
include WET

$SERVER = ""

class TC_sample_tests < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
test_site = 'http://'+$SERVER+'/imadmin/admin';

# open the browser
$ie = Browser.new()
$ie.goto(test_site)
$ie.TextField("name:=username").set("")
$ie.TextField("name:=password").set("")
$ie.TextField("name:=userdomain").set("")
$ie.Button("name:=login").click() # this is where the error is being 
generated
...
end

I can't find where "object_exist_check" mentioned in the WET WebObject 
module would be. Where is it supposed to be? 

I have watir installed via gem version 1.41 and WET version 0.5.1 for watir 
v1.4.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Stephanie,

Ian Phillips found that there was a problem with the archive in the 
downloads.
I have just fixed it and we are runinng some tests on it. If all goes 
well, I'll
be putting it up there in around an hours time. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks
Raghu

Subject: [Wtr-general] Re: Javascript dialogs - reading and closing
Message-ID: <20050831170827.6533DE6DF0@mail2.firstlink.com>

Dave,

Thanks so much for posting this code, it looks like it will be exactly what
we need to start handling our Javascript dialogs.

I have a question (and it's probably an obvious one that I should know, so
please excuse my ignorance).

Does one actually modify Test::Unit::Assertions
(Ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\test\unit\assertions.rb in my case) and add the
assert_js_dialog method, or is there some preferred way to extend it? (Are
there other setup/installation steps or gotchas that I should know about?)

Thanks!

Joe

Exactly. There is no reason to explain how to throw and catch exceptions in 
an introduction.

Also, a common coding error (which also occurs several places in watir, 
sigh) is to catch more exceptions than you really need to do. The problem 
with this is that you may very well catch other kinds of exceptions than 
you expecting and so your code is broken, but you aren't getting any error 
messages because you trapped them. So you can't figure out what is going wrong.

Fundamentally, rescue blocks hide errors. This is dangerous to do anywhere, 
much less in a test suite. It should only be done when there aren't other 
choices. In the case of begin/assert expression/rescue, you can always 
replace this code with if expression/then and what you get is easier to 
understand and has no chance of hiding errors.

Good suggestion.

I think we need to consolidate the way's people get the Basic information 
about Watir.

Currently we have:
- users guide
- main web site
- readme -- which is the main page for the rdoc (which is all you get with 
a gem)

I think what i want to do is have a short introduction which describes the 
basics of usage and put that in a README/RDOC and then have the users guide 
go into more detailed examples. Comments?

two slight errors[typos] of the example test case page:

Section 6: Evaluating the Results
  The Expected Result
    puts " - a Google page with results should be shown. "Programming Ruby" should be high on the list."

    the double quotes around Programming Ruby need to be escaped or replaced with single quotes

  Verify Results
    if ie.contains_test("Programming Ruby")

    should be 

    if ie.contains_text("Programming Ruby")

Subject: [Wtr-general] Works in Watir but NOT in WET...any ideas?
Message-ID: <30078ddb05083113455917b518@mail.gmail.com>

WATIR Code:
     ie = IE.attach(:url , /MY.jsp/ )
     f = ie.frame(:name, "MYFrame")
     puts f.html

WET Code:
     b = Browser("url:=/MY.jsp/")
     f = b.Frame("name:=MYFrame")
     puts f.html

In both cases, I have already logged in to the system and navigated to MY.jsp.  

When I run the Watir code, the html for "MYFrame" is displayed.  

When I run the WET code, I get the following error message:

C:\WET/qantom/webobjects/WebFrame.rb:44:in `document': undefined
method `document' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050831164547.03173900@127.0.0.1>

I have a client who would like to use Watir to test a Unicode enabled 
application, supporting double-byte languages such as Chinese and Japanese. 
It looks to me like it doesn't work, but i haven't done Unicode with Ruby 
before and thought i would check to see if any one else had looked into this.

I believe the normal method is to use iconv 
 Which, was recently sent to the ruby-talk mailing list where a user had 
packaged them up nice and easy for windows users.
 Original Message was from Dave Burt dave at burt.id.au :

I posted this while the gateway was down a couple of days ago:

> Hi,>> I'd like to offer Windows One-Click Installer users two handy add-on > packages: Iconv and Curses.>> The packages include:> * all the required binaries>  * the ruby extension (.so)>  * the library proper (.dll)> * automatic installation script (setup.rb)> * information on installation (README)> * a list of where to get the binaries if you don't trust me (README)>> http://www.dave.burt.id.au/ruby/iconv.zip> http://www.dave.burt.id.au/ruby/curses.zip>> Cheers,> Dave 

Hope that helps. I haven't played with it yet, but I thought I'd pass the 
info along.

I ran across http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2005/08/27/Ruby as
a link from whytheluckystiff's blog in which Tim Bray said of Ruby
"The support for Unicode in regular expressions seems quite a bit
behind what you have now in Perl and Java"

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to connect the database using the ruby or how to
	run the java program during ruby code
Message-ID: <20050901021030.24503.qmail@web33307.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

hi everybody,
    I want to do some database operations during the execution of ruby code,but I don't know how to connect the database and how to operate the database by ruby language.
I also wonder whether the java program can be called by ruby or not if can how should I do it.
It is very nice if some example codes are showed.
Thank you very much.

It works for me.
Documentation for iconv is available with the doco for the rest of the Ruby 
standard library, at http://www.ruby-doc.org/
In particular: http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/iconv/rdoc/index.html

Cheers,
Dave

You're welcome. I hope it works as well for you as it does for me.

Did I mention it requires AutoIt?

If you follow my instructions blindly, and just put all my code in one file then 
require it, it will work.

Ruby is an open language. That means js_dialog.rb is allowed to open up 
Test::Unit::Assertions and add a method to it, which will be included anywhere 
that module is included (e.g. in any Test::Unit::TestCase).

This is the same way that you can add a method that is available everywhere. If 
you use "def" to write a method "at the top level" of a script, it's added to 
Object, and so you can use it anywhere.

I'd recommend books, but I won't right now; I'll instead just plug learning Ruby 
itself. It's good.

Cheers,
Dave

Subject: [Wtr-general] new installers
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050831222155.031d4110@127.0.0.1>

Our new installers have been out for a bit. And we need to update our docs 
to reflect this.

Should we tell people about the one-click installer, the gem or both?

We have scattered reports of problems with the new one-click installer. 
We'd appreciate hearing more about it? Is it working for you. Do you like 
it? Is it better than the old one.

I want to update our documentation on how to install Watir and would like 
some feedback first.

I am also planning to convert the old installer to be a simply command line 
installer -- that way we have something very reliable for people who want 
more than a gem and are having problems with the one-clicker or want to 
install directly from HEAD.

Bret
