This could happen for two reasons that i can think of: 1. The attach method actually doesn't check to make sure that it attaches to an IE object -- it could attach to a different window. This is itself a bug. The obvious fix, to check for "Internet Explorer" in the title would not work on non-English UI's. Perhaps we should just make sure that we get something that has a document... Anyway, you may want to play with the arguments to attach to make sure you are getting the right window. 2. Maybe a timing problem, where the document isn't yet available. You can check this by adding a couple sleeps to your script and see if it works any better.

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD344707FA3CE0@iris.win.barra.com> I have to give my manager an evaluation on WATIR as to whether we should jump in and adopt it for our QA group to use for Production testing of our Web applications. I really like the tool and think it adds value. However, I have several concerns that I'd like to put out there to get your feedback: 1) How "permanent" will the development and support be for WATIR going forward? My fear is that if we adopt WATIR for our QA group and invest time and training to learn it, that somehow in the future it will NOT be supported anymore because the core group has moved on, the tool is no longer developed or supported. 2) Will new releases be backward compatible? I've been reading about WATIR 2.0 and understand that there will be some "shims" provided to make sure the 1.3 scripts will work with 2.0 Going forward, will that always be the "standard". Our nightmare currently is that some scripts we wrote are broken whenever our vendor releases a new version. We want to make sure we don't spend too much time upgrading our scripts with each new release. 3) Will there be more "formal" support? The forum is a great place to post questions, but some time it takes a day or two to get an answer, a workable solution. What if we have a mission critical problem where a WATIR script is not working and we really need an immediate answer. Who do we "call" for these emergencies? 4) How "young" is the tool? How much more work do you anticipate to make it even more "robust" feature-wise? My manager will ask me these questions, so I am asking you. I noticed that the first forum's posting was in October 2003, was that when it got started? It has been greatly enhanced each year to support new functionalities. Can you tell us what your plans are for this tool in the near-term and long-term? 5) Are there plans to charge for the tool in the future? I appreciate your feedback and answers. I'd like to recommend that we use WATIR, but I'd like to make sure I understand what the pros and cons are. Thank you for offering the community this useful tool.

Personally, I would love to write tests in Ruby, but that is actually seen as a negative value for them since none of them have ever touched Ruby. I've downloaded the trial for TestComplete, but have not made it very far in it yet. Does anyone have experience with it? We don't want to spend a lot of money, but TestComplete would probably be in our budget. Right now all we're looking for is some automated testing that we can manipulate through the DOM (so that minor changes to sites don't cause us to rewrite all of our tests). Maintainability is a big concern, but so is creating the initial tests. I imagine that once we get some basic helper classes set up for our web app, it should be a breeze to create additional tests with Watir. But what about TestComplete, Selenium or others? Are they as easy to use and maintain as Watir? Or is Watir's main "selling" poinit that it's written in Ruby?

That said, personally, I think I'd try to stick with Watir. TestComplete comes with GUI and other bells and whistles, but when I get down to it, I'm coding in DelphiScript or JavaScript ... I'd rather have the power of Ruby behind me. TestComplete currently has this Object <something> Testing, which is a GUI way to create re-usable objects ... but the persistence of these objects is not in script, it's in a separate .ini file. Having duped persistence for some of my test things vs. others to me is not a good approach. -- Chris http://clabs.org/blogki From bret at pettichord.com Fri Jun 10 18:21:35 2005 From: bret at pettichord.com (Bret Pettichord) Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 17:21:35 -0500 Subject: [Wtr-general] Website update Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050610171328.02e11e00@127.0.0.1> I've updated the website: http://wtr.rubyforge.org/ Mostly adding links and reducing verbiage. Plus: testimonials. We had the web pages duplicated between "watir/doc" and "web". I've removed the copies in "web". I think i got the most recent versions. (Let me know if i didn't.) There is one bug in the index.html that would/will show up if you built a new release. The link to rdoc is ./rdoc on the website, but needs to be ../rdoc when installed. I can't think of a good way to fix this. Install the rdoc in a different location? Actually, i'd like to only install one doc link (desktop, menu) now (to this index) with the installer. It has links to all the other files. I made some changes to the formatting, partly by changing the style.css but also by 'hard coding' some font changes. I know this is ugly. Sorry, Jonathan.

Right now it is supported by volunteers. The real question is how many projects are actually depending on Watir. The more there are, the more people there are with an interest in maintaining it. We need to collect a list of projects who are depending on Watir. That's what you should show your manager. I think we have three ongoing projects using Watir right now at ThoughtWorks. Maybe more. >2) Will new releases be backward compatible? >I've been reading about WATIR 2.0 and understand that there will be some >"shims" provided to make sure the 1.3 scripts will work with 2.0 >Going forward, will that always be the "standard".

If we make a new version that breaks backwards compatability, a bunch of people may stay with the old version and keep maintaining that. We really need to have a longer discussion on the list about compatability and commitments, and we will handle this. As a community we are not really able to answer this question right now, since we have different ideas about this. And remember, unlike commercial tools, you will never be dependent on us for the maintenance of Watir. If something needs fixing, you can always learn some Ruby -- or hire someone who does -- and go in and fix it yourself. This puts you a much more advantageous position than if you were using a commecial tool. (I have horror stories to tell along this line, but maybe someone else can chime in with their own.) >3) Will there be more "formal" support? >The forum is a great place to post questions, but some time it takes a day >or two to get an answer, a workable solution. What if we have a mission >critical problem where a WATIR script is not working and we really need an >immediate answer. Who do we "call" for these emergencies? The real question is whether any Watir experts would be willing to sell support contracts. At my company, ThoughtWorks, we've discussed doing this for our clients, but not as a general offering. A QA group might have to pay WinRunner $500 a month for maintenance and support (whether they call or not). Would you be willing to pay this kind of money? Oh yeah, and with them you'll probably wait more than a day or two for an answer. A reasonable arrangement with an independent consultant might include some upfront training and consulting, an ongoing retainer for not more than one or two calls a month and then additional fees for help beyond that. If you want support, you should budget the kind of money you might spend on a commercial tool, either to hire consultants or in-house staff to work on the tool. What you really get is flexibility and control, rather than simple cost savings. >4) How "young" is the tool? How much more work do you anticipate to make it >even more "robust" feature-wise? >My manager will ask me these questions, so I am asking you. I noticed that >the first forum's posting was in October 2003, was that when it got started? >It has been greatly enhanced each year to support new functionalities. Can >you tell us what your plans are for this tool in the near-term and >long-term? We have had many discussions about the long-term vision for the tool, but i don't think this should be interpreted as "plans" per se. In fact, i've been thinking of creating a new list just to discuss new ideas, because they seem to be quickly mis-interpreted here as plans. Watir 1.0 was released in Jan 2005. The Web Testing for Ruby project has, as you noted, been going on since Oct 2003. In a way, the tool was based on Samie, which has an even older pedigree. >5) Are there plans to charge for the tool in the future? No. _____________________ Bret Pettichord www.pettichord.com From bret at pettichord.com Fri Jun 10 23:37:57 2005 From: bret at pettichord.com (Bret Pettichord) Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 22:37:57 -0500 Subject: [Wtr-general] Another Endorsement Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050610223647.02e3b038@127.0.0.1> From Ward Cunningham on the Agile Testing list: >Elisabeth -- Could you give me a slide or two worth of bullet points >and examples that I could add to our acceptance testing tutorial?

It's part of our test suite, not part of the tool itself. The original assert stuff is really part of Test::Unit, so the right way forward would be to suggest these as patches to that project. And that would require being more consistent with its existing interfaces. In the meantime, if you can tolerate a little slop, i'd suggest that you manually copy setup.rb to c:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\watir and then do "require 'watir/setup'". But like i said, this isn't supported and may be changed at a future date.

I was surfing the Pickaxe and found that there's a Array#eql? method. So something like assert(array1.eql?(array2)) would probably work. The only weirdness seems to be that ["a", "b", "c"] is not equal to ["b", "a", "c"], but that's probably a feature. I'll poke at this tomorrow. If it does the right thing, it might be worth getting rid of the WATIR assert_arrayEqual in favor of using Array#eql? -Chris From bret at pettichord.com Mon Jun 13 22:56:12 2005 From: bret at pettichord.com (Bret Pettichord) Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 21:56:12 -0500 Subject: Better solution?

Whenever you wrap assert around another call, a failure will be reported as "expected value: <true>, actual value: <false>" which is isn't very informative.

I guess it's up to the Watir ppl if they would like the >addition of this log to their Watir libraries. I think there are a lot of people that would like to use your code and see how you wrote it and i encourage you to share it. There are lots of different logging packages available. For debugging purposes, Watir uses a logging library that is packaged with Ruby itself. The timeclock application includes a logging package that Brian Marick wrote, before the standard logger was made available. And Alexey has written test::reporter, another package for collecting and presenting results. I think it would be helpful for someone to create a wiki page in our wiki with descriptions and links to these various logging packages -- some hook into test::unit, some don't. If you wanted to you could go ahead and make your package another project on rubyforge. At some point, if it was common practice for Watir users to also use a logging package that already supported as an open source project, then i would want to consider packaging it with Watir. But i would really want to know a lot more about this package first -- take a look at the code, hear comments from others -- before i thought about including it with Watir. My goal is mostly to keep Watir slim so that we can support it. In fact, i think we've been very open minded about contributions in the past, often allowing people to contribute different approaches for common problems, as a way of building community and sharing knowledge. But a downside of this is that the quality of the code in Watir is uneven, and there are parts that are really experiments, and not things that people should be counting on as anything more than examples.

To get to them there are 2 ways. If you have the ID/name of the table that would be great (see example 1). If not, see example 2 1. t = ie.table(:id, blah) row = whatever row it's in col = whatever col it's in # get the text field object from this cell tf = t[row][col].text_field(:id, "whatever") # now do whatever you want such as puts tf.value tf.set("new text") tf.clear etc.. 2. if you don't have the ID of the table, which in my case, developers seem to like leaving out, you can do it a "hacky" way such as: ie.tables.each do|t| if t[1][1].text.strip == "The submitted values are" # I'm assuming it's in [1][1] for you #now find the row & column like in eg1 and get the tf object out end end Lemme know if this works since I'm just writing it off the top of my head. I have in many cases used something like #2 when developers didn't give me ID's to work with Shao On 6/14/05, Chris McMahon <christopher.mcmahon at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi... > It seems that this should work, but it's not.

Please advise. Yep, try this: begin assert(thing) rescue => e puts "Error: " + $! #break end Just like in Perl, there are a number of special variables in Ruby that start with "$". "$!" holds the last exception message generated by the script, so you can print that somewhere useful if your assert fails.

END {$ie.close} I wonder if, by closing ie in teardown and opening it in setup, opening was happening so soon after closing that it caused IE to go into a bad state. Weird. Anyway to answer your questions, although further discussion is probably moot at this point, Yes I meant more than one test case in the same class. If setup is called for each test then I expected each test to be at "localhost" because I goto that url in setup. That did work. IE exhibited the same problem whether the tests passed or failed.

The first statement works just fine. The click brings up the file directory windows. In the second statement, I was attempting to set the value of the "File name" textfield, but this doesn't work. I can see the file in the directory window, but can't figure out how to set it. I don't know what the :name should be. I don't think it's "file1", that's just from the example. Hmm! Any hint where I might look next? ie.frame("main").frame(:name, "body").frame(:name, "tabContent").button(:name, "btnAddFile").click ie.fileField(:name,"file1").set("bo_imp_import_02SHORTSampleUSPEData.csv") Also, I ran the filefield_test.rb in irb to see what each statement does, and at the end, the file directory window disappears. Is there a way to keep it up, so I can see what the final value is in the "File name" textfield. Thanks.

In the child process (your modal box clicker), finish off with if modalFound exit(1) else exit(0) end In the parent process, you can talk to it like this: # make your process run and wait for it to finish modalDialog = ($? >> 8) == 1 $? is the exit code of the last child process to run.

The early code had a Radio object and a Checkbox object, both of which descended from the radiocheckCommon object. I don't think they added any code, they just created new classes with more meaningful names. The facorting here did what a refacor is supposed to do - namely reduce the amount of code - but in my opinion made the end user experience worse by giving a less meaningful error meassage, and probably less useful rdocs. I think I would prefer a slightly bigger code base to gain more meaning. I think we will have to go back to hacing separate radio and checkbox classes to overcome the set/clear problem I detailed earlier in the week.

I have a problem simulating my test script because of the 'popup window was blocked' message. I'm using IE6 sp2 and I have a popup blocker. However during my tests, I disabled the popup blocker. I even included in the filter, my test site so that when the popup blocker is enabled, i will have no problem with popups regarding my test site upon clicking a link. When I click a link, a new page will spawn and this is where my problem occurs. Supposedly, there should be no problem with this. And this problem only occurs using my test script. When manually done, I mean manually clicking the link of my test site, that popup window message will not appear. Have you encountered similar problems like this one? Thanks! Jan M.

Seeing as how you already know how to get the table, let's just say your table is called "t". row = whatever calculation you need to do to get the correct row col = whatever calculation you need to do to get the correct column thisButton = t[row][col].button(:id, //) # assuming that there is only one button in that cell, this should work, as it does for me, alternatively you can put in the exact button ID or a partial of that ID if you know it, for example .button(:id, /clickme_/) # now you can take that button object and do stuff to it like: thisButton.click() ...this works for checkboxes and links and other objects too that I've tried. For example, in my apps, I have rows of products and sometimes i want to check off certain things for a particular product. Good luck.

Paul Rogers had originally committed to teaching it with me, but he's had to cancel, and we were going to need a bit of additional help anyway. It's a half-day tutorial called "Scripting Web Tests," to be held Wednesday morning, July 27. This class is based on Watir and Ruby, and we need people with some familiarity with both. It's a hands-on class, where students bring laptops and we provide a CD with all the software they need. Because it's a hands-on class we really need assistants to help students when they get stuck. This is actually a really fun class. I've been teaching it for a couple years and the materials have really jelled. In fact, the Watir tool is actually an offshoot of the class itself. The original idea was simply to show people how much automation they could do with just a decent scripting language. Like Watir itself, all the class materials are open-source. They are called "Scripting101" and you can browse through them here: http://wtr.rubyforge.org/s101/doc/ And download the full package here: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104&release_id=2242 A detailed class description is here: http://wtr.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?ScriptingForTesters You can find out more about Agile 2005 here: http://www.agile2005.org/welcome Please contact me if you are planning to attend the conference and interested in helping out. _____________________ Bret Pettichord www.pettichord.com From martin.echtner at gmail.com Tue Jun 21 13:34:50 2005 From: martin.echtner at gmail.com (Martin Echtner) Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 11:34:50 -0600 Subject: [Wtr-general] checkboxes() method Message-ID: <2da00b2f05062110342f7d2cde@mail.gmail.com> I am using the following line of code to access checkboxes on a page which I then want to grab the name of the checkbox. ie.checkboxes.each do |s| ; puts s.to_s ; end ; # iterate through all the check boxes on the page I get this error: 1) Error: test_new_modules_class(Test_ImportProject_Template): WIN32OLERuntimeError: Unknown property or method `value' HRESULT error code:0x80020006 Unknown name. c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2020:in `invoke' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2020:in `value' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2047:in `string_creator' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2063:in `to_s' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/ResourcesRP.rb:191:in `resIds' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/ResourcesRP.rb:191:in `each' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2191:in `upto' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2191:in `each' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/ResourcesRP.rb:191:in `resIds' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/Test_ImportProject_Template.rb:65:in `test_new_ modules_class' I have also tried using ie.checkbox(:index, 1).name and it returns "" (a blank string) I ran the unit tests that come with watir and the one for checkboxes that use the above line of code works for the assert_equal.

But I still get "Access is denied" issue just like before. Do I need to do anything on my end to make it work? How can I see what the domain.document value is? On the good news front: I tried a different route by downloading Watir and Ruby on the same server machine that the Login page resides and I was able to get the script to work! Very impressive and easy once I got rid of the "Access is denied" issue. However, this brings up the question that my manager will ask: Does this mean that all Watir scripts can only be run on the same server domain where the application resides? No cross-domain is possible? That may be an issue in my company since we have to be able to start automation scripts from different domains. We are currently using SilkTest and have no problem doing that. I must say that after coding Watir and seeing how it works, I don't want to go back to using SilkTest again! Yikes, all those declarations and methods and changes that constantly need to be maintained. It's really great to see the difference. Thanks! I'd like your input though on the "Access is denied" issue as I am sure this is experienced by many users of Watir.

A lot of those things might be driven by JavaScript events in the page. Check out "js_events_test.rb" in the unittests directory for some simple fire_event examples. The "fire_event" method can be useful since many text_fields have all sorts of events tied to them. > Maybe I'll post the HTML that does it tomorrow as it is an interesting > case..probably not worthwhile to look too much into it cuz it's > probably a rare case (this site I'm testing has many many many rules > and ways of doing things) It would be worthwhile - at the very least it makes it easier to suggest things to try. -Jonathan > On 5/31/05, John Lloyd-Jones wrote: > > Shao > > I'm not quite sure exactly what your page requires, but I believe your > > situation may be similar to one I encountered: users enter some text > > in a field, the page parses (and validates) the input when the user > > leaves the field (e.g. by tabbing to the next field).

So in my script I invoke the frameset that that has both frames one cross domain and one not. Then I invoke a the cross domain URL directly using a goto URL. The only downside to this is that you have to maintain the cross domain URL. There is probably a way you could extract the URL using the .text method into a variable then invoke it with a goto to avoid the maintenance.

But I still get "Access is denied" issue just like before. Do I need to do anything on my end to make it work? How can I see what the domain.document value is? On the good news front: I tried a different route by downloading Watir and Ruby on the same server machine that the Login page resides and I was able to get the script to work! Very impressive and easy once I got rid of the "Access is denied" issue. However, this brings up the question that my manager will ask: Does this mean that all Watir scripts can only be run on the same server domain where the application resides?

A lot of those things might be driven by JavaScript events in the page. Check out "js_events_test.rb" in the unittests directory for some simple fire_event examples. The "fire_event" method can be useful since many text_fields have all sorts of events tied to them. > Maybe I'll post the HTML that does it tomorrow as it is an interesting > case..probably not worthwhile to look too much into it cuz it's > probably a rare case (this site I'm testing has many many many rules > and ways of doing things) It would be worthwhile - at the very least it makes it easier to suggest things to try. -Jonathan > On 5/31/05, John Lloyd-Jones wrote: > > Shao > > I'm not quite sure exactly what your page requires, but I believe your > > situation may be similar to one I encountered: users enter some text > > in a field, the page parses (and validates) the input when the user > > leaves the field (e.g. by tabbing to the next field).

Ruby/Watir can work with Japanese but requires Windows to be configured: - East Asian Language package needs to be installed (you can do this in Control Panel > Regional and language options > Languages) - Language for non-Unicode programs needs to set to Japanese (Control Panel > Regional and language options > Advance) When everything is set up correctly, you should be able to copy something from a Japanese site, paste it into the prompt and view it correctly. I used Textpad to write my scripts and Arial Unicode MS font with Japanese script option. The files are saved as ANSI. The scripts look something like this $ie.goto('http://www.google.jp') $ie.text_field(:name, 'q').value = ?????????? # (this shows up as Japanese in the text editor) puts $ie.text_field(:name, 'q').value # (this shows up as Japanese in the command prompt) Peter From DBoyt at anteon.com Fri Jun 3 15:24:13 2005 From: DBoyt at anteon.com (Boyt, Darrel) Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2005 15:24:13 -0400 Subject: [Wtr-general] WIN32OLERuntimeError - Unknown property or method`document' Message-ID: <258593F548C79D4AB7CBA2AE72DEBEC86731C7@HQ-EXVS02.anteon.com> All indications are that it's the first window where it's dying.

I want all the default items in combo1 except I want a chicken burger instead, and super sized instead of large, my friend on the other hand wants combo1 as well but wants onion rings instead of fries but everything else the same... I basically have a function where, under certain circumstances, I call it with certain values - but there's no telling which parameters need to be non-default ahead of time. I've been told that in Perl, for example you could do Combo1(Burger:="Chicken") and it will leave all the others defaulted. So I was wondering if it was possible in Ruby :) But the nil idea works fine!

If I put "ie.close" into the tests, I can run all 75 tests with no problem. Has anyone else been stopped at the 60th instance of IE? -Chris From hitesh.jain at investmet.com Wed Jun 8 12:25:43 2005 From: hitesh.jain at investmet.com (hitesh.jain at investmet.com) Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2005 09:25:43 -0700 Subject: [Wtr-general] FW: How to redirect result of puts to a file?

This could happen for two reasons that i can think of: 1. The attach method actually doesn't check to make sure that it attaches to an IE object -- it could attach to a different window. This is itself a bug. The obvious fix, to check for "Internet Explorer" in the title would not work on non-English UI's. Perhaps we should just make sure that we get something that has a document... Anyway, you may want to play with the arguments to attach to make sure you are getting the right window. 2. Maybe a timing problem, where the document isn't yet available. You can check this by adding a couple sleeps to your script and see if it works any better.

Message-ID: <AA1E1F7FC9E1124F999E37BFA1DD344707FA3CE0@iris.win.barra.com> I have to give my manager an evaluation on WATIR as to whether we should jump in and adopt it for our QA group to use for Production testing of our Web applications. I really like the tool and think it adds value. However, I have several concerns that I'd like to put out there to get your feedback: 1) How "permanent" will the development and support be for WATIR going forward? My fear is that if we adopt WATIR for our QA group and invest time and training to learn it, that somehow in the future it will NOT be supported anymore because the core group has moved on, the tool is no longer developed or supported. 2) Will new releases be backward compatible? I've been reading about WATIR 2.0 and understand that there will be some "shims" provided to make sure the 1.3 scripts will work with 2.0 Going forward, will that always be the "standard". Our nightmare currently is that some scripts we wrote are broken whenever our vendor releases a new version. We want to make sure we don't spend too much time upgrading our scripts with each new release. 3) Will there be more "formal" support? The forum is a great place to post questions, but some time it takes a day or two to get an answer, a workable solution. What if we have a mission critical problem where a WATIR script is not working and we really need an immediate answer. Who do we "call" for these emergencies? 4) How "young" is the tool? How much more work do you anticipate to make it even more "robust" feature-wise? My manager will ask me these questions, so I am asking you. I noticed that the first forum's posting was in October 2003, was that when it got started? It has been greatly enhanced each year to support new functionalities. Can you tell us what your plans are for this tool in the near-term and long-term? 5) Are there plans to charge for the tool in the future? I appreciate your feedback and answers. I'd like to recommend that we use WATIR, but I'd like to make sure I understand what the pros and cons are. Thank you for offering the community this useful tool.

(TestComplete, Selenium, others?) Message-ID: <252308cf0506101439237a4e02@mail.gmail.com> I'm researching testing tools right now and spent all day yesterday trying out a few simple tests with Watir. So far, I think it's great. I just have some basic web site tests set up with logging to an XML file (using Builder), but I love the fact that it's written in Ruby. I've showed it to the decision-makers here and they're impressed with what it can do, but want me to explore other options as well. Personally, I would love to write tests in Ruby, but that is actually seen as a negative value for them since none of them have ever touched Ruby. I've downloaded the trial for TestComplete, but have not made it very far in it yet. Does anyone have experience with it? We don't want to spend a lot of money, but TestComplete would probably be in our budget. Right now all we're looking for is some automated testing that we can manipulate through the DOM (so that minor changes to sites don't cause us to rewrite all of our tests). Maintainability is a big concern, but so is creating the initial tests. I imagine that once we get some basic helper classes set up for our web app, it should be a breeze to create additional tests with Watir. But what about TestComplete, Selenium or others? Are they as easy to use and maintain as Watir? Or is Watir's main "selling" poinit that it's written in Ruby?

That said, personally, I think I'd try to stick with Watir. TestComplete comes with GUI and other bells and whistles, but when I get down to it, I'm coding in DelphiScript or JavaScript ... I'd rather have the power of Ruby behind me. TestComplete currently has this Object <something> Testing, which is a GUI way to create re-usable objects ... but the persistence of these objects is not in script, it's in a separate .ini file. Having duped persistence for some of my test things vs. others to me is not a good approach. -- Chris http://clabs.org/blogki From bret at pettichord.com Fri Jun 10 18:21:35 2005 From: bret at pettichord.com (Bret Pettichord) Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 17:21:35 -0500 Subject: [Wtr-general] Website update Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050610171328.02e11e00@127.0.0.1> I've updated the website: http://wtr.rubyforge.org/ Mostly adding links and reducing verbiage. Plus: testimonials. We had the web pages duplicated between "watir/doc" and "web". I've removed the copies in "web". I think i got the most recent versions. (Let me know if i didn't.) There is one bug in the index.html that would/will show up if you built a new release. The link to rdoc is ./rdoc on the website, but needs to be ../rdoc when installed. I can't think of a good way to fix this. Install the rdoc in a different location? Actually, i'd like to only install one doc link (desktop, menu) now (to this index) with the installer. It has links to all the other files. I made some changes to the formatting, partly by changing the style.css but also by 'hard coding' some font changes. I know this is ugly. Sorry, Jonathan.

Right now it is supported by volunteers. The real question is how many projects are actually depending on Watir. The more there are, the more people there are with an interest in maintaining it. We need to collect a list of projects who are depending on Watir. That's what you should show your manager. I think we have three ongoing projects using Watir right now at ThoughtWorks. Maybe more. >2) Will new releases be backward compatible? >I've been reading about WATIR 2.0 and understand that there will be some >"shims" provided to make sure the 1.3 scripts will work with 2.0 >Going forward, will that always be the "standard".

If we make a new version that breaks backwards compatability, a bunch of people may stay with the old version and keep maintaining that. We really need to have a longer discussion on the list about compatability and commitments, and we will handle this. As a community we are not really able to answer this question right now, since we have different ideas about this. And remember, unlike commercial tools, you will never be dependent on us for the maintenance of Watir. If something needs fixing, you can always learn some Ruby -- or hire someone who does -- and go in and fix it yourself. This puts you a much more advantageous position than if you were using a commecial tool. (I have horror stories to tell along this line, but maybe someone else can chime in with their own.) >3) Will there be more "formal" support? >The forum is a great place to post questions, but some time it takes a day >or two to get an answer, a workable solution. What if we have a mission >critical problem where a WATIR script is not working and we really need an >immediate answer. Who do we "call" for these emergencies? The real question is whether any Watir experts would be willing to sell support contracts. At my company, ThoughtWorks, we've discussed doing this for our clients, but not as a general offering. A QA group might have to pay WinRunner $500 a month for maintenance and support (whether they call or not). Would you be willing to pay this kind of money? Oh yeah, and with them you'll probably wait more than a day or two for an answer. A reasonable arrangement with an independent consultant might include some upfront training and consulting, an ongoing retainer for not more than one or two calls a month and then additional fees for help beyond that. If you want support, you should budget the kind of money you might spend on a commercial tool, either to hire consultants or in-house staff to work on the tool. What you really get is flexibility and control, rather than simple cost savings. >4) How "young" is the tool? How much more work do you anticipate to make it >even more "robust" feature-wise? >My manager will ask me these questions, so I am asking you. I noticed that >the first forum's posting was in October 2003, was that when it got started? >It has been greatly enhanced each year to support new functionalities. Can >you tell us what your plans are for this tool in the near-term and >long-term? We have had many discussions about the long-term vision for the tool, but i don't think this should be interpreted as "plans" per se. In fact, i've been thinking of creating a new list just to discuss new ideas, because they seem to be quickly mis-interpreted here as plans. Watir 1.0 was released in Jan 2005. The Web Testing for Ruby project has, as you noted, been going on since Oct 2003. In a way, the tool was based on Samie, which has an even older pedigree. >5) Are there plans to charge for the tool in the future? No. _____________________ Bret Pettichord www.pettichord.com From bret at pettichord.com Fri Jun 10 23:37:57 2005 From: bret at pettichord.com (Bret Pettichord) Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 22:37:57 -0500 Subject: [Wtr-general] Another Endorsement Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20050610223647.02e3b038@127.0.0.1> From Ward Cunningham on the Agile Testing list: >Elisabeth -- Could you give me a slide or two worth of bullet points >and examples that I could add to our acceptance testing tutorial?

It's part of our test suite, not part of the tool itself. The original assert stuff is really part of Test::Unit, so the right way forward would be to suggest these as patches to that project. And that would require being more consistent with its existing interfaces. In the meantime, if you can tolerate a little slop, i'd suggest that you manually copy setup.rb to c:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\watir and then do "require 'watir/setup'".

I was surfing the Pickaxe and found that there's a Array#eql? method. So something like assert(array1.eql?(array2)) would probably work. The only weirdness seems to be that ["a", "b", "c"] is not equal to ["b", "a", "c"], but that's probably a feature. I'll poke at this tomorrow. If it does the right thing, it might be worth getting rid of the WATIR assert_arrayEqual in favor of using Array#eql? -Chris From bret at pettichord.com Mon Jun 13 22:56:12 2005 From: bret at pettichord.com (Bret Pettichord) Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 21:56:12 -0500 Subject: Better solution?

I guess it's up to the Watir ppl if they would like the >addition of this log to their Watir libraries. I think there are a lot of people that would like to use your code and see how you wrote it and i encourage you to share it. There are lots of different logging packages available. For debugging purposes, Watir uses a logging library that is packaged with Ruby itself. The timeclock application includes a logging package that Brian Marick wrote, before the standard logger was made available. And Alexey has written test::reporter, another package for collecting and presenting results. I think it would be helpful for someone to create a wiki page in our wiki with descriptions and links to these various logging packages -- some hook into test::unit, some don't. If you wanted to you could go ahead and make your package another project on rubyforge. At some point, if it was common practice for Watir users to also use a logging package that already supported as an open source project, then i would want to consider packaging it with Watir. But i would really want to know a lot more about this package first -- take a look at the code, hear comments from others -- before i thought about including it with Watir. My goal is mostly to keep Watir slim so that we can support it. In fact, i think we've been very open minded about contributions in the past, often allowing people to contribute different approaches for common problems, as a way of building community and sharing knowledge. But a downside of this is that the quality of the code in Watir is uneven, and there are parts that are really experiments, and not things that people should be counting on as anything more than examples.

To get to them there are 2 ways. If you have the ID/name of the table that would be great (see example 1). If not, see example 2 1. t = ie.table(:id, blah) row = whatever row it's in col = whatever col it's in # get the text field object from this cell tf = t[row][col].text_field(:id, "whatever") # now do whatever you want such as puts tf.value tf.set("new text") tf.clear etc.. 2. if you don't have the ID of the table, which in my case, developers seem to like leaving out, you can do it a "hacky" way such as: ie.tables.each do|t| if t[1][1].text.strip == "The submitted values are" # I'm assuming it's in [1][1] for you #now find the row & column like in eg1 and get the tf object out end end Lemme know if this works since I'm just writing it off the top of my head. I have in many cases used something like #2 when developers didn't give me ID's to work with Shao On 6/14/05, Chris McMahon <christopher.mcmahon at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi... > It seems that this should work, but it's not.

Please advise. Yep, try this: begin assert(thing) rescue => e puts "Error: " + $! #break end Just like in Perl, there are a number of special variables in Ruby that start with "$". "$!" holds the last exception message generated by the script, so you can print that somewhere useful if your assert fails.

END {$ie.close} I wonder if, by closing ie in teardown and opening it in setup, opening was happening so soon after closing that it caused IE to go into a bad state. Weird. Anyway to answer your questions, although further discussion is probably moot at this point, Yes I meant more than one test case in the same class. If setup is called for each test then I expected each test to be at "localhost" because I goto that url in setup. That did work. IE exhibited the same problem whether the tests passed or failed.

The first statement works just fine. The click brings up the file directory windows. In the second statement, I was attempting to set the value of the "File name" textfield, but this doesn't work. I can see the file in the directory window, but can't figure out how to set it. I don't know what the :name should be. I don't think it's "file1", that's just from the example. Hmm! Any hint where I might look next? ie.frame("main").frame(:name, "body").frame(:name, "tabContent").button(:name, "btnAddFile").click ie.fileField(:name,"file1").set("bo_imp_import_02SHORTSampleUSPEData.csv") Also, I ran the filefield_test.rb in irb to see what each statement does, and at the end, the file directory window disappears. Is there a way to keep it up, so I can see what the final value is in the "File name" textfield. Thanks.

In the child process (your modal box clicker), finish off with if modalFound exit(1) else exit(0) end In the parent process, you can talk to it like this: # make your process run and wait for it to finish modalDialog = ($? >> 8) == 1 $? is the exit code of the last child process to run.

The early code had a Radio object and a Checkbox object, both of which descended from the radiocheckCommon object. I don't think they added any code, they just created new classes with more meaningful names. The facorting here did what a refacor is supposed to do - namely reduce the amount of code - but in my opinion made the end user experience worse by giving a less meaningful error meassage, and probably less useful rdocs. I think I would prefer a slightly bigger code base to gain more meaning. I think we will have to go back to hacing separate radio and checkbox classes to overcome the set/clear problem I detailed earlier in the week.

I have a problem simulating my test script because of the 'popup window was blocked' message. I'm using IE6 sp2 and I have a popup blocker. However during my tests, I disabled the popup blocker. I even included in the filter, my test site so that when the popup blocker is enabled, i will have no problem with popups regarding my test site upon clicking a link. When I click a link, a new page will spawn and this is where my problem occurs. Supposedly, there should be no problem with this. And this problem only occurs using my test script. When manually done, I mean manually clicking the link of my test site, that popup window message will not appear. Have you encountered similar problems like this one? Thanks! Jan M.

Seeing as how you already know how to get the table, let's just say your table is called "t". row = whatever calculation you need to do to get the correct row col = whatever calculation you need to do to get the correct column thisButton = t[row][col].button(:id, //) # assuming that there is only one button in that cell, this should work, as it does for me, alternatively you can put in the exact button ID or a partial of that ID if you know it, for example .button(:id, /clickme_/) # now you can take that button object and do stuff to it like: thisButton.click() ...this works for checkboxes and links and other objects too that I've tried. For example, in my apps, I have rows of products and sometimes i want to check off certain things for a particular product. Good luck.

Paul Rogers had originally committed to teaching it with me, but he's had to cancel, and we were going to need a bit of additional help anyway. It's a half-day tutorial called "Scripting Web Tests," to be held Wednesday morning, July 27. This class is based on Watir and Ruby, and we need people with some familiarity with both. It's a hands-on class, where students bring laptops and we provide a CD with all the software they need. Because it's a hands-on class we really need assistants to help students when they get stuck. This is actually a really fun class. I've been teaching it for a couple years and the materials have really jelled. In fact, the Watir tool is actually an offshoot of the class itself. The original idea was simply to show people how much automation they could do with just a decent scripting language. Like Watir itself, all the class materials are open-source. They are called "Scripting101" and you can browse through them here: http://wtr.rubyforge.org/s101/doc/ And download the full package here: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104&release_id=2242 A detailed class description is here: http://wtr.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?ScriptingForTesters You can find out more about Agile 2005 here: http://www.agile2005.org/welcome Please contact me if you are planning to attend the conference and interested in helping out. _____________________ Bret Pettichord www.pettichord.com From martin.echtner at gmail.com Tue Jun 21 13:34:50 2005 From: martin.echtner at gmail.com (Martin Echtner) Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 11:34:50 -0600 Subject: [Wtr-general] checkboxes() method Message-ID: <2da00b2f05062110342f7d2cde@mail.gmail.com> I am using the following line of code to access checkboxes on a page which I then want to grab the name of the checkbox. ie.checkboxes.each do |s| ; puts s.to_s ; end ; # iterate through all the check boxes on the page I get this error: 1) Error: test_new_modules_class(Test_ImportProject_Template): WIN32OLERuntimeError: Unknown property or method `value' HRESULT error code:0x80020006 Unknown name. c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2020:in `invoke' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2020:in `value' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2047:in `string_creator' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2063:in `to_s' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/ResourcesRP.rb:191:in `resIds' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/ResourcesRP.rb:191:in `each' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2191:in `upto' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2191:in `each' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/ResourcesRP.rb:191:in `resIds' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/Test_ImportProject_Template.rb:65:in `test_new_ modules_class' I have also tried using ie.checkbox(:index, 1).name and it returns "" (a blank string) I ran the unit tests that come with watir and the one for checkboxes that use the above line of code works for the assert_equal.

The runner by default executes the test cases randomly". but i can't run the test cases in a random order. below is my sample code. require 'watir' require 'watir/WindowHelper' require 'test/unit' require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner' require 'watir/testUnitAddons' class TC_myTest < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_dsda_case1 puts "1"; end def test_dsda_case2 puts "2"; end def test_dsda_case3 puts "3"; end def test_dsda_case4 puts "4"; end def test_dsda_case5 puts "5"; end end 2) i am a little bit confuse about the testSuite class and the testResult class. How can I record the result of the testCase to testResult class. moreover, is testSuite class is only a "wrapping" class for all the "test case" classes subclass from the testCase class?

Checkbox methods fail if on the page under test you have a table that contains hrefs, and or ordered/numbered lists as data. The methods either fail to find the checkbox's or find the incorrect element. Does not have to be in the same table either. In the case below checkbox.flash finds the incorrect object -> hrefs, li, etc and FLASHES them! But for exists and set, I am unable to find the controls by any combination of name, value or index attributes. I hope that you will address this very soon.

Issue 1: Ruby won't allow access to the 'attach' method under some circumstances. Won't work: require 'watir' x = Watir::IE x.attach( :url, /url/) Will Work: require 'watir' include Watir # Provides access to methods otherwise inaccessible x = IE.attach( :url, /url/) Recommended: require 'watir' x = Watir::IE.attach( :url, /url/) Issue 2: Control of popup windows is unclear in the documentation. The problem stems from the fact that the IE controller object never completes the action that creates the JS popup until that popup closes down. The Unittests and I imagine other people getting around the problem are creating a separate ruby system process to find and activate the buttons on the popup window. What we need is a way to click on a link and start an independent thread easily. For my own use I've encoded multiple 'click' methods in addition to the standard one. item.click # Use the standard IE controller click ie = item.popupClick( :title, /url/) #Create new controller, attach ie to new one item.jsClick( :title, /url/, keys) #Activates JS Window and sends keystrokes to it What I would try is creating a new method modalClick for handling a modal JS window with more complex entries that simply sending keystrokes can't handle. I don't know if Watir will be able to attach to such a dialog and read data from it or not. However, our app does have such a creature, so I'll go ahead and see. -- Scott B From bret at pettichord.com Fri Jun 24 11:34:48 2005 From: bret at pettichord.com (Bret Pettichord) Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 10:34:48 -0500 Subject: [Wtr-general] Wiki access.

What we need is a way to click on a link and start an independent thread easily. For my own use I've encoded multiple 'click' methods in addition to the standard one. item.click # Use the standard IE controller click ie = item.popupClick( :title, /url/) #Create new controller, attach ie to new one item.jsClick( :title, /url/, keys) #Activates JS Window and sends keystrokes to it What I would try is creating a new method modalClick for handling a modal JS window with more complex entries that simply sending keystrokes can't handle. I don't know if Watir will be able to attach to such a dialog and read data from it or not. However, our app does have such a creature, so I'll go ahead and see. -- Scott B From paul.rogers at shaw.ca Fri Jun 24 16:17:46 2005 From: paul.rogers at shaw.ca (Paul Rogers) Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 14:17:46 -0600 Subject: [Wtr-general] Multiple failure scenarios with Checkbox methods In-Reply-To: <20050623234415.29178.qmail@web32207.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <002801c578f9$c8e64090$72d39044@NewDell> The fix is to change this line in watir.rb in getObject method o = getObjectAtIndex( container, what , types , value) To o = getObjectAtIndex( container, what , elementTypes , value) I guess our unit tests only use :index when all the elements are the same type.

Checkbox methods fail if on the page under test you have a table that contains hrefs, and or ordered/numbered lists as data. The methods either fail to find the checkbox's or find the incorrect element. Does not have to be in the same table either. In the case below checkbox.flash finds the incorrect object -> hrefs, li, etc and FLASHES them! But for exists and set, I am unable to find the controls by any combination of name, value or index attributes. I hope that you will address this very soon. Below is a test script and html: #----------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- # Checkbox failures for tables with href and ul/ol elements #----------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- require 'test/unit' require 'watir' include Watir class TestAdministration < Test::Unit::TestCase @ie = nil; @url = "HTTP://localhost/epmcheckbox.html" def setup @ie = IE.new @ie.goto("HTTP://localhost/velocity.html") end def teardown @ie.close end def testEditCapabilities @ie.checkbox(:index, 1).flash @ie.checkbox(:index, 2).flash @ie.checkbox(:index, 3).flash @ie.checkbox(:index, 4).flash @ie.checkbox(:index, 5).flash @ie.checkbox(:index, 6).flash @ie.checkbox(:index, 7).flash @ie.checkbox(:index, 8).flash end end  <html> <head><title >FooBar</title></head> <body> <form action="" method="post"> <table>  <tr><td width="100%">Row1</td></tr> <tr><td><a href="">HRef1</a></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="">HRef2</a></td></tr>   <tr><td> <ul> <li><a href="">ListItem1 and HRef3</a></li> <li><span>ListItem2</span></li> </ul> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>  <input type="checkbox" name="FooBarCheckbox" value="CB1"><span>CB1</span><br> <input type="checkbox" name="FooBarCheckbox" value="CB2"><span>CB2</span><br> <input type="checkbox" name="FooBarCheckbox" value="CB3"><span>CB3</span><br> <input type="checkbox" name="FooBarCheckbox" value="CB4"><span>CB4</span><br> <input type="checkbox" name="FooBarCheckbox" value="CB5"><span>CB5</span><br> <input type="checkbox" name="FooBarCheckbox" value="CB6"><span>CB6</span><br> <input type="checkbox" name="FooBarCheckbox" value="CB7"><span>CB7</span><br> <input type="checkbox" name="FooBarCheckbox" value="CB8"><span>CB8</span><br> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

In order to use a different login to the same site from the same location one has to open a _new_ IE session and cannot re-use any existing ones. Apparently if one uses WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application') some system shortcut discovers there is already an existing ie session, and all of the session information from the existing connection is used instead of a fresh document. When opening a fresh ie controller it is important for me to be able to create a brand new window. My current workaround is simply to run iexplorer from a shell and then attach to it. `"c:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe" http://localhost ` ie = Watir::IE.attach( :url, 'http://loclahost') This guarantees the window will not be contaminated with data from a previous session. Probably the correct way to do this in Watir is to use WIN32OLE.new('Shell.Application') and run the executable, rather than simply starting a new instance of InternetExplorer.Application -- Scott B From martin.echtner at gmail.com Fri Jun 24 17:40:59 2005 From: martin.echtner at gmail.com (Martin Echtner) Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 15:40:59 -0600 Subject: [Wtr-general] Unable to access javascript popups Message-ID: <2da00b2f0506241440527a15bb@mail.gmail.com> wc=WinClicker.new $ie.selectBox(:name, "action").select_value("delete") wc.clickJSDialog_NewProcess() $ie.button(:value, "Go").click #invokes js popup wc.clickJavaScriptDialog() i get this error 1) Error: test_new_modules_class(Test_Template): NoMethodError: undefined method `log' for #<WinClicker:0x2b89848> c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir/winClicker.rb:124:in `clickJSDialog_NewProcess' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/StakeHoldersRP.rb:157:in `removeSH' C:/watir_bonus/releaseplannertesting/RPUtilities/Test.rb:75:in `test_new_modules_class' Have also tried this: helper = WindowHelper.new $ie.selectBox(:name, "action").select_value("delete") $ie.button(:value, "Go").click #invokes js popup helper.push_confirm_button_ok() it just hangs till I hit enter or select the OK button and I have to hit ctrl c to get the test to stop waiting in the cmd window.

This is a common issue and something that Watir needs to make easier to do. -1 on your particular suggestion as a general solution. Your suggestion depends on IE.attach, which uses heuristic methods. I don't know how to ensure that a call to IE.attach will attach to the iexplore window that was just spawned in the general case. I wish i had a better alternative, however.

You can use the "fire_event" method to cause the menus to appear, but can only access the links if they are declared on the page. (To see how to fake it, check the watir_bonus/examples directory and run the "mouse_over.rb" example for an example.) If the links are declared in a JavaScript file that is not currently loaded in the DOM, like on this page: http://www.cbc.ca (do a mouse over on "RADIO" at the top), Watir doesn't seem to support that yet. -Jonathan Quoting Guru Subramanyam <guru_sc at yahoo.com>: > > Hi, > > I'm currently evaluating Watir for automating our Web > based application.

It is great to see more open source automated test tools out there. I can defintely appreciate what you guys have done so far. I have had my own adventures writing PAMIE over the last years or so. I am currently writing a module that will take the output of the testcase results in XML and convert them to HTML. Similar to JUnit and JMeter I found other tools like NUnit, JUnit and JMeter do this very well and it has been extremely useful to be able to display the results in a nice HTML format. I am not sure if Watir does this, but if not, the code is generic enough that it can be ported from Python into Ruby. I would be great if there was a central location like QAForums does to discuss, post snippets of code , etc..for opensource apps like WATIR, Selenium, SAMIE and PAMIE since there are very similiar in they way the function. Just a thought! Good luck with your project and keep up the good work on WATIR!! Cheers! Rob M. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
