Subject: [Wtr-general] The problem about method logon of WindowHelper
Message-ID: <008d01c5deaa$6647b830$3824a8c0@jameswangneu>

Hi,
  The example WindowLogonExample.rb with watir 1.4 can't work in my
computer.
  I think the problem is in the code of WindowLogonExtra.rb of below:

helper = WindowHelper.new
helper.logon('Connect to clio.lyris.com')

there should be three parameters in method logon of WindowHelper as declared
in WindowHelper.rb

    def logon(title,name = 'john doe',password = 'john doe')
        @autoit.WinWait title, ""
        @autoit.Send name
        @autoit.Send "{TAB}"
        @autoit.Send password
        @autoit.Send "{ENTER}"
    end

Why is there only title defined in WindowLogonExtra.rb?
Why the title is "Connect to clio.lyris.com" instead of "Enter Network
Password"?

Thanks in advance and best regards!

James

Hi, is it possible to obtain the preceding text of a textfield in
Watir? For e.g. consider this html -

username : <input type...>

I would like to obtain the string 'username' that appear before the
textfield. Thanks!

For the example you provide, the string you want is a text node. Watir
doesn't really support this very well. I do note that internally, Watir does
use the method "getAdjacentText" to get preceding
(object.getAdjacentText("beforeBegin"))
or following (object.getAdjacentText("afterEnd")) text. The object is the
Element's OLE object (use getOLEObject to get it).

The draw-back is that this stuff might change in later versions (See the
comment for getOLEObject which suggests that it will be "renamed
appropriately").
Use with care.

John

Here's a Perlish sort of approach:
################################33
string = "username : <input type>"

string =~ /:/

before = $`
match = $&
after = $'

puts before
puts after
#################

Hope that helps.

Watir can be extended to support any tag. Look at how we support Spans.

Because Ruby is dynamic, you can add methods to existing classes. You don't 
actually have to edit the watir.rb file.

That's the right way if you know the preceding text. If I understood the
original question correctly, the aim was to find the (possibly unknown) text
preceding a known text input field.

My mistake. In HEAD, this can be done as

   ie.text_field(:name, "whatever").before_text

Hi,

I know that Watir provides some functions to control IE menus such as
refresh, maximize, etc.

I was wondering whether it is possible to extend the control to third
party toolbars such as Google or Yahoo toolbar. Is there a way to
programmatically control those toolbars?

Thanks,
Laudhi

Message-ID: <004f01c5df39$18970ed0$6bb0a042@corp.lyris.com>

Hi James,

I'm kinda new at Watir and i was looking at the same WindowLogonExtra.rb 
example last week.

>>>    def logon(title,name = 'john doe',password = 'john doe')
Means that if the 'name' and 'password' variables are not passed in, use the 
default values of 'john doe' and 'john doe'. That is what is happening in 
WindowLogonExtra.rb.

> Why the title is "Connect to clio.lyris.com" instead of "Enter Network
> Password"?

The title needs to match the frame caption of the logon window. In the 
example, the page we are pointing to contains the caption "Connect to 
clio....". For your usage you'll have to figure out the caption of the page 
you are trying to login to.

Hope that helps.

Steve

Message-ID: <20051102005611.8028.qmail@web52911.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi wtr lists

I have tried a few options like WinClicker, and the
jscript_test in the unittests examples but I couldn't get
it to work. Now I'm invoking autoIt from my Watir script. 
Description:
I click a delete asset icon which brings up a javascript
popup with the title "Microsoft Internet Explorer" and with
the text "Are you sure you want to delete this asset?". The
popup has two buttons: Ok and Cancel.

This is what i have at the top of my script
require 'win32ole'
autoit = WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control')
...

and to click the Ok button on the popup I have
autoit.ControlGetFocus "Microsoft Internet Explorer", "Are
you sure you want to delete this asset?"
autoit.ControlClick "Microsoft Internet Explorer", "Ok",
"1", "left", 1

but my Watir script just hangs there without throwing any
errors.

thanks

great! I will try it later... i was toying with
ie.document.forms(i).elements(i) and it doesn't seem to support the
before_text() method. I will try this method on text_field..

My purpose is to find the preceding text to 'guess' what possible
value to enter into the text field. Thanks eveyrone :)

What are some considerations that will help the planning and layout of
WATIR architecture if you are to start from scratch to automate a WEB
site?  I would appreciate hearing from experienced WATIR users on what
approaches you have chosen to structure/architect the way you use WATIR
for your WEB application.  Thanks.

I'm kinda surprised, with as well as so many other parts of watir are
covered with test cases, this slipped by...

It would be cool to simply add a small webrick script into the distro to
actually have a web server to test some of this stuff with...

Try $ie.text_field(:name, "NAME").o.value = '60000'

It didn't slip by. Someone wrote it and it seemed useful, so we added it to 
the distribution.

However, you have to specifically require this (require 
'watir/cookiemanager') to get it.

I have wondered whether we shouldn't have a clearer way of separating the 
supported part of Watir from the random contributions. Especially, since we 
are in the process of beefing up the supported stuff.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. We often get pleas for example code, so it 
would seem nasty to omit stuff like this just because it didn't have tests. 
Yet it obviously is misleading/surprising to include untested and possibly 
half-baked stuff like this in our library.

Suggestions?

We have a test in there somewhere (else) that does just this.

I had used
 require 'watir/cookiemanager'
 it's just when trying to use it I get a wierd error about not being able to
find Dir::Find
 I'll send a copy later. Don't have it handy @ the moment.

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to get Image Source from Excel Input file?
Message-ID: <20051102122525.47836.qmail@web8506.mail.in.yahoo.com>

Hi,
  I am getting Inputs from an Excel file for my test cases and its working fine for all except Image source.
 
I tried:
IMAGE = worksheet.range('b11')['Value'] and value in excel corresponding to Cell b11 is /icons2.gif/
$ie.image(:src,IMAGE).click gives the following exception-
`assert_exists': Unable to locate object, using src and /icons2.gif/(Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2009:in `click'
 
However if I hardcode the source it works fine....
i.e $ie.image(:src,/icons2.gif/).click
clicks on the image. 
I think the problem is because input is read from excel as a string.How do I handle this?
 
Thanks,
Amitha

I suspect that the sophisticated Watir users on this list would tell
you that the answer to your question depends on individual context. 
That is, every project is different.

As a general principle, though, a lot of people suggest that your
framework should be abstracted from your implementation.  In other
words:  start solving problems; refactor; repeat; don't worry about
architecture so much as you worry about solving the immediate
problem-- your architecture will grow as your ability to solve
problems does.  As always, I'll cite Kevin Lawrence's March 2005
Better Software article called "Grow Your Test Harness Naturally"
which seems to be the most important reference out there for doing
this sort of work.

I, too, am scared when I hear the 'A' word applied to something as 
simple as an automated test suite :)
Having said that, there is certain amount of design that can go into a 
test suite before you start writing it.

So, how about turning the conversation in a direction like this:

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ORGANISING A SUITE OF WATIR TESTS
-------------------------------

Organize the tests as a Test::Unit suite. Start with a single 
Test::Unit:TestCase class in a single file, split it into smaller 
logical pieces when it becomes too big (around 1000 lines).

As soon as you have to repeat the same code twice, think about 
extracting a method. Certainly extract a method from anything that is 
repeated three times.

Expect at least the following helper classes (or modules) to evolve:
  * URL generator, to extract things like ie.goto url_for('AccountView', 
:account_id => 1, :billing_month => '2005-11')
  * GUI navigator, to extract things like logon(:user => 'tester', 
:password => '12345') )
  * custom assertions, for methods like assert_current_account_is_active

Your real tests will probably have to talk to the database, to test 
assertions about things that are hard or impossible to access through 
the GUI, to generate expected results, to manage initial state of the 
database before the test, etc. This often means that you need something 
quite similar to domain and data access layers. It will probably be much 
simpler than the production domain, but the same design principles 
generally apply. Resist the temptation to reuse the production domain 
layer (you don't want your test oracles to share implementation with the 
system under test). Production data access layer, on the other hand, is OK.

Test results may need to be published and/or reported. Roll your own, or 
use http://rubyforge.org/projects/test-report/  It is not currently 
supported by anybody, but I've heard some people were still using it. 
After all, it's merely a few hundred lines of Ruby :)

Other than reporting along the lines of "TestAccountView => PASS/FAIL", 
don't try to make contents of Watir tests accessible to non-programmers. 
It proves counter-productive. If you need automated tests that business 
can understand, use FIT and test the domain logic with it.

...

Beg pardon if I'm answering a wrong question here :) But I'd like to 
hear what other people do.

Hi,
I am getting Inputs from an Excel file for my test cases and its working
fine for all except Image source.

I tried:
IMAGE = worksheet.range('b11')['Value'] and value in excel corresponding to
Cell b11 is /icons2.gif/
$ie.image(:src,IMAGE).click gives the following exception-
`assert_exists': Unable to locate object, using src and
/icons2.gif/(Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2009:in `click'

However if I hardcode the source it works fine....
i.e $ie.image(:src,/icons2.gif/).click
clicks on the image. 
I think the problem is because input is read from excel as a string.How do I
handle this?

Thanks,
Amitha

I forgot to say thanks. :)

I do not use test/unit any more, but this:

require 'test/unit/assertions'
include Test::Unit::Assertions

and now I can use assert where ever I like. :)

That /should/ work, perhaps you could report your error message on that.

Another (perhaps better option) is to use a Module and mixins. Instead 
of making User a class, make it a Module, then include that module in 
whatever TestCase class you make. I don't have time to detail this for 
you, but look at rubycentral.com for the older 1.6 Ruby book and find 
its write-up on Modules and mixins, or hit up the main Ruby list for 
more assistance with this.

Watir code will return true if text box is readonly, and false if not.

Message-ID: <20051103121956.50296.qmail@web8311.mail.in.yahoo.com>




Hi,

I am using excel file as input to my test cases. 

In a test case  "TESTCASE1"  I am calling a "Methods.rb"(which includes only methods) which requires a constant "CONSTANT1".

"CONSTANT1" is initialized in excel input file. 

 

When I run "TESTCASE1" individually ,it runs successfully but when All Tests is run it throws " Unintialized Constant" exception.

 

When I initialize "CONSTANT1" in a input ruby file or declare  "CONSTANT1" as a global and then run "AllTests" it runs successfully. Hence I think it is the excel input which is the problem.

 

How do I handle this??

 

 

Thanks,

Chaya

Good morning:

I hope this is not a redundant post.  I submitted it yesterday, but I did
not see this topic in the archives.

We have successfully been able to work with modals and pop ups; however, I
am concerned about the reliability of the scripts.  We will run script A
and it makes it through the modals and pop ups just fine and completes
without error.  We make no changes to this script and run it a second time
and the script fails on the modals.  In my opinion it a timing issue
between the browser, latency and using multiple threads.

Our application is extremely sensitive to double clicks.  Occasionally a
routine click will act as though it was clicked twice and the script breaks
due to the error message generated on a doubleclick.  Only one click is
specified in Ruby.  Again I suspect this is a timing concern.

Has anyone else experienced this type of concern?
What are some things that can be done to manage threads and the timing of
the browser interactions?
What are the best ways to control script speed?

Any thoughts on making these scripts more reliable would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Carl

Latest update - i copied the 'before_text' and 'after_text' code from
HEAD to my version of watir, but the functions return empty string
when i try it on a text field. Likewise when i use
object.getAdjacentText("beforeBegin")...

Message-ID: <7661e6730511032315w7b1fddc3r8553635f07213dfa@mail.gmail.com>

(I think this question has come up before, but please bear with me...)

What would it take to write a layer of code for Mozilla/Firefox on the lines
of what WATiR currently has available for IE, that would let WATiR drive
Mozilla/Firefox instances the way it's done for IE right now ? Specifically,
what to target and what to use to target it ? Some delving suggests that an
XPCOM based approach might be the way to go, but I haven't been able to
figure out exactly how to approach this. Can anyone on this list offer some
advice or pointers ? We might be able to offer some resources to work on
this, but right now knowing where to look and how to start is the tough
part.

It would be kind of neat to have the browser parameterized so that apart
from the instantiation of a specific browser, a WATiR script for a given
application could run unchanged for IE/FireFox/<your browser here>, modulo
differences in browser functionality (e.g. tabs).

Hi,

(hope my question is not confusing).

Is there a way in watir to determine if after submitting a form,
a) whether the form really make a POST and move to a new page, or
b) the form just redisplay itself and did not get POSTed? (e.g. if
there are incomplete fields and caught by javascript validation)

I was thinking probably by comparing the last url in the history
object, i would be able to tell whether the form really did a POST.
However from Microsoft DHTML website, the history object don't seem to
show the last URL traversed due to security reason...

Appreciate any reply. Thanks...

Message-ID: <20051104104851.59415.qmail@web8304.mail.in.yahoo.com>

 

Hi,
          I want the internet explorer window to be hidden while my script is running.
 One option for this is:
 $ie.getIE.visible = false
 But this will just hide the main window, the popups are not hidden.
 Is there any other way to do this??




 Thanks 

Chaya

You could try:

 

$ie.minimize, but I'm not sure if that will also keep your pop ups
minimized.

 

Failing that, you could run the -b when calling your script from the command
line:

 

>C:/Watir/my_script.rb -b

 

This will make your script run in the background. Since this does not create
an ie window, you will not be able peek at what's happening. I believe this
should avoid the pop ups from appearing, but I haven't tried this myself.

My apologies in advance if this turns out to be a double-post by me.

We are extracting test methods from test cases into helper scripts.  The 
problem I'm running across is I'm not able to assert(NoMethodError: 
undefined method 'assert'), and I assume it's because I'm either not 
requiring the right scripts or I'm not inheriting from TestCase.  Any help 
much appreciated!

My Test Case script:

require 'tabularHelper.rb'
include TabularHelper
class TC_EventTabular < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_Columns
	columntable = [
		{'col'=>'Date/Time', 'issortable'=>true},
		{'col'=>'Description', 'issortable'=>true},
		{'col'=>'Lead', 'issortable'=>true},
		{'col'=>'Folder', 'issortable'=>true}
	]

	TabularHelper.run_column_test(columntable, $ie)
end
end

MY Helper script:
require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'

module TabularHelper
def run_column_test(columntable, ie)
  assert($ie.something.exists?)
  assert_equal(somevalue, $ie.something.value)
end
end

Add this to your MY Helper script and it will work just fine.

require 'test/unit/assertions'
include Test::Unit::Assertions 

I think you can remove

require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'

from that script (but I am not sure).

That worked!

Now that the assertions work, how do I get the results to display correctly 
(e.g. 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors)?

Require statements use single quotes.

 

In your driver.rb file try:

 

require 'watir'

require 'one.rb'

load "one.rb"

Act.contains_html("test")

 

Note:

Commenting out load "one.rb" as in

 

require 'watir'

require 'one.rb'

#load "one.rb"

Act.contains_html("test")

 

also works, so not sure if you need this load statement or not. I'm guessing
not.

Good to see.  I'd still rather like to update the entire wiki by
migrating it to mediawiki.  It was rather annoying to have had to wade
through that FAQ the few times that I did in order to clean it up
somewhat (and also answer my own questions).

Perhaps just have all that stuff called things like
"contrib-cookiemanager".. then note them in a nice list in the docs /
on the website, with a page per-item.  Separate them somewhat from the
main documentation.  Maybe also have it all downloadable as a separate
addon/gem?

I wonder if the plugin angle could help.. there is the TestGen4Web

this is weird I have a TC, which is not very different from

instance of IE and goto a URL. And in my report_test.rb,
all my tests 
complete successfully but at the end the Browser closes. 
My other TCs, the Browser window stays on the screen after
test completion only for that particular TC. Any idea!!

The assert method in Test::Unit::Assertions is different from the assert 
method in Test::Unit::TestCase in one way: it is not included in the total 
count.

I am wondering if something like the following might not work for you. If 
it does, let us know.

Thanks for cleaning it up. It looks a lot bettter.

We are always open to specific proposals. Why would media wiki be better? 
Where would it be hosted?

This is a great idea. Several others have also looked into this and 
threatened to write an implentation, but no one has yet to dive it. It 
would be great to see you take a stab and this and share what you learn, 
whether it be the start of an implementaiton or notes on what is difficult.

There are many people in the open source community who mostly like Watir, 
except for the fact that is tied to proprietary technology. Supporting an 
option of using Firefox would actually bring a lot support and involvement 
and help from the larger Ruby community to Watir.

I completely agree and would be eager to work on developing a plug in 
interface that separated and connected the existing Watir test API from its 
currnet IE/COM driver interface.

Try this

require 'Win32API'

hWnd = 985158    # use the hWnd for your process
# pid is a dword
pid=" " * 32
thread=  Win32API.new("user32", "GetWindowThreadProcessId", 'IP',
'I').Call(hWnd,pid)
puts pid.unpack("L")[0]

I think you can do ie.hWnd to get the hWnd on the second line

Load just loads a library file.

Require will load a library
1. if it hasn't already been loaded
2. located anywhere in the load path

In general, people find it more useful to use require for libraries.

You could check to see if the current page still contains the form after 
submitting it.

Tghere used to be a variable - I think it was ie.pageHasReloaded or

My main issue with the existing wiki is their markup language.  The
insistance of "CamelCase" links forces broken english titles and poor
sentances and is an eyesore to edit.

The main benefits of mediawiki would be the various different skins. 
I'm a particular fan of the default skin.  It's quite beautiful.  This
is the first and foremost thing that everyday users would see.  The
second would be the much nicer organization of the information.  From
experience, I can say that it's been intuitive to organize and
maintain a lot of information within a mediawiki installation.

On the inside, the editing is very easy (the markup language is good).
 It's extremely nice to be able to edit just a section of a page.. one
doesn't get lost on more complecated pages like a FAQ.  Automatic
table of contents is nice.  The templating engine allows for easy
re-use of snippets of information.  Adding inline images is trivial.

For more technical reasons, mediawiki is very easy to update and
maintain.  Updating it amounts to unpacking the new tarball over the
previous directory and running "php update.php" (or without ssh
access, it's still quite easy).  It's extremely easy to supervise,
with controls for viewing recent changes and the lke.

For more social reasons, MediaWiki is wildly popular and in my mind
proved as an excellent tool because of its use for the Wikipedia. 
This is what would assure continued development.. there are a lot of
interested people.


My only warnings are to require usernames for editing, to use the
spamblacklist extension and to include a one-liner regex to ban
certain types of content.  I can provide help with these things.

If hosting is an issue, I'd be pleased to host it with my resources..
but it'll go anywhere php/mysql does.

Curiously, it looks like the markup language is almost the same from
the existing wiki to mediawiki.  This means that it would be nearly
trivial to hand-port the content from the existing wiki to a mediawiki
installation.  Yes, I would be willing to do this and unless you've
got hundreds of pages of content I could get it done within two weeks.
 This would include the original wiki's content as well.

My own wiki:
http://jrandomhacker.info
http://jrandomhacker.info/MediaWiki

I also help maintain two other wikis:
My local Linux user group (GTALUG):
http://gtalug.org

My local Ruby user group (TRUG):
http://trug.stok.co.uk/wiki/
soon to be http://trug.ca

I've set up MediaWiki for my old work and my current business.  This
is after a long and tiring history with a few other wikis.  MediaWiki
has been amazing.


In the meantime, I intend to open up a Watir-specific section in TRUG
since I've just begun working with watir and need to begin a resource
and code repository.  Sorry for being long-winded.. but I just got
back from our meeting and am revved up.  =)

That's odd.. I had to specifically throw in a line to close the window
after my test case was done.

Perhaps what you could do is some kind of delay at the end.  I do a simple:
 foobar = gets
and the window will hang there waiting for input.  This is a cheap
hack, but I should think it'd work.

Hi, 
I tried with both $ie.minimize and with -b option, but still the popups were not hidden. Is there any other way??

You could try:

 

$ie.minimize, but I?m not sure if that will also keep your pop ups minimized.

 

Failing that, you could run the ?b when calling your script from the command line:

 

>C:/Watir/my_script.rb ?b

 

This will make your script run in the background. Since this does not create an ie window, you will not be able peek at what?s happening. I believe this should avoid the pop ups from appearing, but I haven?t tried this myself.

Hi,
          I want the internet explorer window to be hidden while my script is running.
 One option for this is:
 $ie.getIE.visible = false
 But this will just hide the main window, the popups are not hidden.
 Is there any other way to do this??

Hi chaya shetty...

I think by definition popups or modal dialog windows cannot be hidden 
eventhough the modal dialogs are owned by the IE at that point of time. 
So you can make only the IE browser to run in the background but not any 
Modal dialog boxes or Popups. :-(

Selenium does this, I think-- but it intercepts the Javascript before
the popup fires, if I'm not mistaken.

Hi, in situation where server-side validation is being used to check
the form submission, I believe the form will still exist in the page
after submitting.

I have decided to use proxomitron as a local proxy to remove
client-side validation code, so that all forms will act as (a), i.e.
submitted to server.

I ended up stumbling across something similar by accident.  I removed the
module name (TabularHelper) from the method in the test case and it works.
Thanks for the help!


require 'tabularHelper.rb'
include TabularHelper
class TC_EventTabular < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_Columns
	columntable = [
		{'col'=>'Date/Time', 'issortable'=>true},
		{'col'=>'Description', 'issortable'=>true},
		{'col'=>'Lead', 'issortable'=>true},
		{'col'=>'Folder', 'issortable'=>true}
	]

	run_column_test(columntable, $ie)
end
end 

MY Helper script:
require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'

module TabularHelper
def run_column_test(columntable, ie)
  assert($ie.something.exists?)
  assert_equal(somevalue, $ie.something.value)
end
end

Paul, I'm not following your example below.  It's clearly valid code,
I run it and pid.unpack("L")[0] is "538976288", but I don't get how
the pid is related to a Watir "IE.new".  Sorry if it's a silly
question, but I'm not getting it...

you'll need to get the hWnd of the browser first

require 'Win32API'


ie = IE.new
ie.goto "www.google.com"

hWnd = ie.ie.hWnd
pid=" " * 32
thread=  Win32API.new("user32", "GetWindowThreadProcessId", 'IP', 'I').Call(hWnd,pid)
puts pid.unpack("L")[0]

Sy,

Instead of the gets I have added 
puts "this test case has now completed."
at the end of my script works great now. 

thanks

p.s: still weird :-) that is my only TC I had to do that.

OK, I got it now--
What's the syntax to actually close the browser using the pid/wHnd?

This rawks, thanks!
Works great.
(Note-- have to use the unpacked pid to kill the process, but it works
like a charm.)
-Chris

PS Whoda thunk Ruby would let you do a "kill -9" on Windows?  I'm amused...

Thanks Paul, I put it together in an easy example.  This is tested and works:

require 'win32ole'
require 'watir'   # the controller
include Watir
require 'Win32API'

@ie = IE.new
hWnd = @ie.ie.hWnd
pid=" " * 32
thread=  Win32API.new("user32", "GetWindowThreadProcessId", 'IP',
'I').Call(hWnd,pid)
fixnum_pid = pid.unpack("L")[0]
puts fixnum_pid
    Process.kill( 9 , fixnum_pid)

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately I did not receive any response to a post on Nov. 3
-Reliability and thread management, so I thought I would try again.

I am having some problems with a couple of our scripts.

What tricks are available for timing threads and controlling the speed of
WATIR?
How can we make sure a thread has ended?

The basic concern is that the WATIR script will work, then it may not work,
and eventually it will work again without any modification to the code or
application.  These scripts involve modals and pop ups.  I believe it is a
timing issue, but I am not certain.

Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior?

Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Carl

we should probably add this as a ( or some ) methods

ie.hWnd
ie.pid
ie.kill

hi Carl,

if you can post some repeatable code/html unit tests that really helps getting things fixed.

The pop up handling has not been very good in watir, and we need to improve it.

[...snip...]

I too initially had some problems with timing issues in my
popup-dismissing threads.  But since then I've had success using sleep()
mixed in with creation of threads, as in the example below.  Since doing
this I've had no further problems with timing issues and simple popup
dismissing tasks (knock wood):

=============================================
def navigate (address)
  req01 = Thread.new { goto(address) }
  # wait a sec for the 'entering HTTPS' IE prompt to appear:
  sleep(1) 
  # dismiss first IE prompt:
  req02 = Thread.new { btnclk('Security Alert', 'OK') }
  # wait for the SSL y/n/cancel prompt to appear:
  sleep(1) 
  # another button click to dismiss the SSL cert prompt:
  req03 = Thread.new { btnclk('Security Alert', 'Yes') }
  # wait for all threads to complete before continuing:
  req01.join
  req02.join
  req03.join
end
=============================================

(The 'btnclk' method shown above is just a wrapper around an autoit-like
DLL I'm using to dismiss windows.)

Thanks
Bill

This is wierd enough that perhaps it should be posted and noted as a
bug..  I hate when inconsistant things like that happen.

I'm very interested in Sy's proposal (below) to host the Watir project wiki 
using Media Wiki.

I've used Wikipedia before, and i did find it to be a pretty good system. I 
don't have any particular attachment to what we are using now, which is 
just what rubyforge provides. I'm particular interested to know the views 
of the people who've made a lot of contibutions to our wiki.

My only concern is that if we have usernames to access, it would be nice if 
we could recycle the rubyforge usernames, just because that would make it 
easier for our contributors. But i'm not sure if that is really possible.

Comments?

This works for me

ie.textField(:index, 1).disabled

and, yes, I also think this would be more intuititve

ie.textField(:index, 1).disabled?

The web page I am testing has images that have the same src.  I can
click the first one by doing ie.image(:src, /add/).click.  Is there any
way I can click the next /add/ button?  I was hoping the get the index
number of the first image and just do a +1 to get to the next button.

It means that the file unittests/setup.rb is not in your load path.

This file is part of the unit tests for Watir. You probably shouldn't be 
using it for your own scripts.

This will show you what your load path is:

Well, you could do
 ie.images( :src, /add/ )[x].click
 where x is the number you want.... 1, 2, 3 ( one-based index )

Hi. Many thanks for the tool! I preciate it much, and write here first
time, because
I have some ideas and questions on the subject.

To be included in the test case's count the class should call its
"add_assertion".
As the "assert" method itself calls its virtual "add_assertion", now I use
this kind of a mixin:

module TestManager
	include Test::Unit::Assertions

	def add_assertion
		@currentCase.send :add_assertion
	end

	def assertions_bind_to(testCase)
		@bindStack = Array.new unless @bindStack
		@bindStack.push @currentCase if @currentCase
		@currentCase = testCase
	end

	def assertions_unbind_from(testCase)
		raise "No binds were made" unless @currentCase
		raise ArgumentError.new(
			"Last bind was to #{@currentCase} not to
#{testCase}"
					   ) unless @currentCase ==
testCase

		@currentCase = @bindStack.pop
	end
end


That is the way I use it:

require 'TestManager'

class UserManager
	include TestManager

	def login
		.
		assert is_logged_in
	end

	.
end


And that is the test case will look like:

class TC_User < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def test_scenario
	user = UserManager.new
	user.assertions_bind_to self

  	.
  end


  # I use setup and teardown methods to bind global asserting utilities.
  def setup
	TestApplication.assertions_bind_to self
  end

  def teardown
	TestApplication.assertions_unbind_from self
  end
end


But I still wonder if it could be done more elegant. For instance, I would
like to use reflection in the TestManager, to define the test case it was
called from. Still I am not aware it is possible.

Interesting, in my testing

ie.images[1]
ie.images[2]

work fine, but if you add any selection criteria, you can't do the indexing.

.images is the correct thing to call.

we'll have to check with bret.

Hi,

I'm relatively new to Watir and am having some problems with asserts on
IE.contains_text, hoping for some enlightenment.

Basically, my problem is as follows; I have some code that says
(essentially):

assert(ie.contains_text("abcd"))

This seems to work ok when "abcd" is present, but fails (and causes my
test to stop running) when "abcd" is not present. The reason for the
failure seems to be that ie.contains_text returns <nil> rather than
"false"

In attempting to find out what is going on I've been outputting the
result of ie.contains_text to the console and notice that when "abcd" is
present (and the assert passes) the returned value of contains_text is
"522" when I was expecting "true"

I'm finding this all a bit confusing. Can someone explain it to me?

Thanks,

-Dara

Ah, images takes NO input parameters.

So, you can only get the collection. then iterate them.

So, to do what you want ... you would have to do something like:

ie.images.select { |curr| curr.src =~ /add] }[2].click

...

just remember that the index after the block is zero-based not one based
like watir does things.

This is how it is supposed to work. Assert means to fail and stop running. 
In Ruby, nil counts as false, so that is not a problem at all.

What did you want it to do?

That explains it. Thanks for the quick answer. No good deed goes
unpunished, so:

The Rdoc for contains_text
(http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Watir/IE.html#M000294) does say
"Returns true if the specified text was found." Is that wrong?

Why were my asserts passing when receiving an index (i.e. a number
string) rather than "true"?

Because, in Ruby, everything is true except for nil and false

I'm happy to update the rdoc for this. Please suggest something that would 
be accurate and helpful.

It's not a label, it's a span.

try:

assert( $ie.span( :id, "lblMonth1" ).innerText == "2005/10" )

...

Hi

 

I'm having some problems with the use of wait(), so the first solution I took was to replace them in the places where i had problems, with some sleep() statement.

The problem is that the application I'm running my scripts on, takes different execution times every time I run the scripts. The solution was to place some while() routines in order to know if the application has finished it's work. Until this point no much problem....the real problem is that the application starts some other browsers that will auto close themselves, and that I'm unable to figure out when they're closed.

I'll show you a bit of the script: (I'm using a mix of Watir/Wet on this)

 

@b.Frame("name:=xxxxx").Link("title:=x").click()

            b1 = Browser("title:=yyyy")

            b1.Image("title:=yy").click()

            sleep 3

            b2 = Browser("title:=zzzzz")

            b2.frame("z").text_field(:name, "zzz").set zzz

            b2.Frame("name:=z1").Image("alt:=z").click()

            sleep 2

            b2.Frame("name:=z2").Link("text:=" + zzzzzzz).click()

            sleep 5

            b1.Image("title:=yyy").click()

 

The browser b2 closes itself.....how can I know when It closes?

 

Regards

Miguel

Hi

Unfortunately there is no option for the checking the browser exists or 
not :-( . But this is a nasty workaround for this issue. Here is the 
sample script that i used to test this.

ie=Browser.new()
ie.goto("http://www.wet.qantom.org")

b = Browser("title:=/.*WET.*/")

puts b.browser_hwnd()
sleep 10
begin
puts b.browser_hwnd()
rescue
puts "Browser closed ? "
end

As soon as the browser was opened and then the website was opened. I 
closed the browser(at lesser than 10 seconds). and it did work fine. So 
use the browser_hwnd() option to check the existance of the Browser. I 
am going to put a bug on your behalf in the wet bug tracker. The users 
should be able to check weather the browser exists or not directly.

How about, "If found, returns the index the where text was found.
Returns nil when the text is not found."

The Watir Cheat Sheet entry for contains_text says "Return true if the
current page has the specified text somewhere on the page. Otherwise,
false." Perhaps this should be updated too?

Thanks,

The page contains a frame that is posted on a separate server.

This is known behavior, and this is only a warning. But perhaps we should 
suppress it.

You could attach to the new window and then poll it in a while loop.

This is accurate, but i'd like to also get accross that this is intended to 
be used in if or assert statements.

I'm wondering if it might not be better to deprecate ie.contains_text and 
just encourage people to use ie.text.index or ie.text.match instead.

Thanks for all the good feedback.  Sorry I used the "A" word.
What I meant is that we have the chance to start from a blank slate with
WATIR,
and I'd like to know how others have handled this so we can learn from
their experience.
It's not often that we get to start all over and I know we'll make
"mistakes" along the way, and may have to redo
some things, but I'd like to minimize this as much as possible.  Thanks
again for your valuable input.

I ran into this problem before and create a method that looks like this

# detects whether an IE windows exists or not
# returns true if the IE browser still exists (hasn't been closed) or
false otherwise
class IE
    def exists?
        begin   
             return false if @ie.hWnd== -1

Actually, I would say changing the existing function to actually return true
or false would be appropriate. Add the ? to the end of the function name,
and then let people use ie.text.index etc to get the index of occurance.

j.

... the example would be:
assert( ie.contains_text? "blah" )

Hi,

Would someone share an example or supply links

will send with the HTTP request?

I'm trying to create tests using watir for a site
where the returned content differs by header (such as
Accept-Language) values.


Thanks,

Message-ID: <20051111013540.34489.qmail@web52902.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi Watir list,

I have a check box type as
<INPUT type=checkbox value=9,16 name=nottype[]> 

How do I set the check box ?

I have tried
$ie.frame("admin").checkbox(:name, "nottype[]", 9,16).set
but as expected I'm getting wrong number of arguments (4
for 3). 

thanks

It's not a label, it's a span.

try:

assert( $ie.span( :id, "lblMonth1" ).innerText == "2005/10" )

Hmm, I don't know of a way to do this with WATiR.

I would simply do it with a direct HTTP client... YMMV

HTTPUnit, JWebUnit et al would probably work, or maybe something like

ie.checkbox(:name , 'notype[]' , '9.16')  should work
the third argument is a string value that is the value of the radio
button or check box

Hmm. That was how it originally was coded, but it was changed to the 
current behavior (without updating the rdoc) based on an earlier request on 
this list. Changing it back will break scripts.

Originally, we made several attempts to shield Watir users from Ruby, and 
in the end, this only created more confusion -- the best of example of this 
was how we decided to use 1-based indexing in Watir. The lesson i learned 
is that we are much better off if we follow the Ruby conventions in Watir, 
explaining them when they may not be intuitive to new users, rather than 
trying to put together a separate set of conventions that are possibly more 
intuitive.

The suggestion that this method end in a question mark, therefore a good 
one, since this is the Ruby convention for this kind of thing.

But the Ruby way would be to do ie.text.contains? rather than 
ie.contains_text. And in fact, to do ie.text.contain? since the Ruby 
convention is to not use the final s (another convention we haven't yet 
followed very closely with Watir, but would be good to move towards).

That suggests ie.text.contain? The biggest qualm i have with this is that 
implementing this means adding a method to the string class. I don't object 
to this in principle, but will this confuse users? Looking at the String 
API, i see that it already provides the method string.include? which does 
exactly what we want with string arguments. But users would have to use 
ie.string.match() if they wanted to use regular expressions.

A little awkward, but then that is the awkwardness of Ruby and i think the 
principle that we should follow is not to avoid this.

Another reason for my attention to this issue is that we also have 
TextField#verify_contains which really should have the same method name as 
IE#contains_text -- it does the same thing. This is another Watir 
inconsistency that needs to be addressed -- it would be best to move things 
correctly.

Therefore, my proposal:

Slowly, deprecate IE#contains_text(), starting with removing it from the 
intro user documentation, instead encouraging users to use 
IE#text.include?() instead. (And also introducing IE#text.match() when 
regular expressions are used.) In the mean time, we update the rdoc for 
IE#contains_text() to be more accurate, as suggested by the OP.

Both the rdoc for IE#contains_text and TextField#verify_contains would be 
suggest that these more direct forms be used instead.

Happy to say that both solutions work.
i.e passing the two values as a regular expression and 
passing the two values as a string as a single argument. 

thanks this mailing list rocks

yup, that all sounds good ... and the existing include? is just as good as
contain? ... there are times in ruby where they will provide aliases just so
names that make sense do the same thing.

class String
alias :contain? :include?
end

I don't see aliasing other methods as overly evil, you aren't changing
existing functionality.

Anyways, there's my $0.02 ... complete with free grain of salt.

I prefer to avoid using these for examples, unless you let people know you 
are doing this.

For example, we create assert_false (which does the same as "assert !") for 
our unit tests. This works fine, but has confused people who look at our 
unit tests as examples and don't realize that we are using a slightly 
tweaked set of assertions.

Unless someone performs some serious voodoo to make a bridge between
the two systems, people would themselves need to make usernames that
are the same as they exist with rubyforge, on an honour-system (and
post a note in their rubyforge profile).

I haven't looked into the possibility of having email validation.. I
don't know how that would work.  I know there are some emailing
functions with mediawiki but I've never used them.

Subject: [Wtr-general] column_values
Message-ID: <E1Eagga-0003L6-KQ@smtp.klickit.com>

Hello,

 

I'm having a problem with table.column_values. I have a table with 3
columns, but when I try to extract the values with a statement like
table.column_values(1), I get the following error:

 

WIN32OLERuntimeError: Unknown property or method `3'

    HRESULT error code:0x80020006

      Unknown name.

On the other hand, table.row_values is working just fine.

 

Thanks!

In Ruby, local variables begin with lower-case letters. If you use upper-case, 
you have created a constant.

You answer is to use "array_index" instead of "Array_Index", etc.

How do I traverse through a series of tr's and td's?
And consequently finding the content (inner text) of this tag: <td nowrap class='tableContentBL'>107-0052</td> ?

Many instances of that class exists, and it's not unique.

When you're in IRB with the Readline extension, pressing the Tab key
will trigger auto-completion. If you paste code with tabs into an IRB
session in a command window, the same.  One tab at the start of a line
will ask before listing "all 375 possibilities" (Object and Kernel
methods); two tabs will list those methods.

Try starting irb with the --noreadline parameter:

% irb --noreadline

Cheers,
Dave

Or (not tested):
ie2.table(:index, 4).row_values.inject([]) { |all_cells, row| all_cells 
+= row }

Does the same thing.

This is not some sort of black magic. In my humble opinion (to some 
extent backed by the experience), one should learn to write Ruby code as 
the one-liner above if one wants to successfully create and maintain a 
non-trivial Watir test suite. It's not that hard to learn - all you need 
is a few days of reading the documentation for the basic classes (Array, 
Hash, String, Fixnum, Regexp) and playing with irb.

Do it, and the time you spend pays back for itself in one month, tops. 
Don't do it, and a few weeks down the road you will walk away from your 
test automation, with a firm opinion that test automation is too 
difficult and expensive to be worth the trouble. This is a very common 
fault for people who want to get some form of test automation going but 
have no prior experience with it.

Alex

P.S. By the way, identifying a DOM object by index (as in 
ie2.table(:index, 4)) is something you should try to avoid - you will 
spend man-years updating all the indexes whenever the program changes, 
and eventually it will make your test automation effort a negative value 
exercise. Use a name or an id.

Now it's time for me to pledge ignorance. Is there something in the

You need to install the OCI8 library & a copy of the oracle "instant
client".

Hi Wtr list

I'm currently getting the html for the link as an example
below: 
<A title="test notification is for Test Automation test
purposes only."
href="/administration/notifications/editNotType.php?id=22 
   &type=email">TA Notification</A>
then parse the string to get the id which i add to another
number assign that to a string myStr and then pass into
$ie.frame('cpmain').frame('admin').checkbox(:name,
"nottype[]",  myStr).set 

Is there a more elegant way of just looking for the text
"TA notification" and set the checkbox to its left??

thanks

I would recommend using the help files on the OCI8 website.

They can be much more help than I can here... There are many things specific
to an installation.

Generally ... look at the information at :
http://www.jiubao.org/ruby-oci8/api.en.html

Hope that helps you get where you are trying to go.

Hi,
  I already have "standard Oracle client" installed on to my machine.   
Is this enough for connecting to the database from Watir ??
   
  Thanks

  Hi ,
  Thanks for the help. I installed ruby-oci8-mswin. It worked fine. Now I am able to access the database using ruby. 
   
  Thanks
  Chaya

They can be much more help than I can here... There are many things specific to an installation. 

Generally ...  look at the information at : http://www.jiubao.org/ruby-oci8/api.en.html

Hope that helps you get where you are trying to go.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Span troubles
Message-ID: <593b9ae80511151100q3146179ctccd6bc4c99d48c56@mail.gmail.com>

I have a span that is not disabled, as follows:
 <span id="ChangeProfileControl_FirstnameRequiredValidator"
controltovalidate="ChangeProfileControl_first_name" errormessage="Please
enter your first name." display="Dynamic"
evaluationfunction="RequiredFieldValidatorEvaluateIsValid" initialvalue=""
style="color:Red;display:none;">Please enter your first name.</span>
  Certain user actions cause the text within this span to show up in red,
otherwise it is hidden to the user.
 simply doing an ie.contains_text(span.text) does not work because
I still get non nil result whether the span is shown in red or not.
 Is there anyway around this so that I can test whether the text in the span
is on the page or not?

Now it's time for me to pledge ignorance. Is there something in the

I've replied off-list.  Assuming sourceforge is good about it, the
setup should be very easy.  It won't take me very long to migrate the
existing content.  It should be usable a week from setup.

Hi Manish,

Try accessing the link using the index. To view all the links try
$ie.show_links 


Hope this code helps you,

require 'watir'   # the watir controller
# open the IE browser
$ie = Watir::IE.new
$ie.set_fast_speed()
test_site="http://mail.yahoo.com/"
$ie.goto(test_site)
$ie.text_field(:name, "login").set("abc")   
$ie.text_field(:id, "passwd").set("xyz") 
$ie.button(:value, "Sign In").click 
$ie.show_links 
$ie.link(:index, 5).click  
$ie.close

Regards,

I just tried it too, and it really does not work.
Solution: log in, go to http://mail.google.com/mail/h/ and you will be
switched to basic HTML and watir will work.

Hi 

[<a href="/ym/Logout?YY=77101&YY=77101" target="_top">Sign Out</a>,

Here the "," seems to be causing the problem.  So in your script you can either use the "," in your script or the regular expressions
Then the script would look like 
ie=IE.attach(:title, /.*Yahoo.*/)
ie.link(:text, /.*Sign Out.*/).click
ie.close()
The above script worked for me.

HTML source will tell you why it does not work. :) It seems that gmail uses
a lot of ajax (or something like that).

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to capture current page in a variable?
Message-ID: <A5AC4D5F49F69D4BA71CEBD0E5C7DEA306353A@eghinter33.int.conchango.net>

This is probably a really simple question (but I have only been using
ruby/WATiR for 2 days) 

 

I am trying to test site navigation to each site portal using an array
and an iterative select and go command. (see below)

 

PortalArray.each do | x |

 

  puts 'Step 2.'runNumber' : Select ' x ' for the Portal list'

   $ie.select_list( :id, "gatewaycountry").select(x)

   puts '  Action: selected ' runNumber '  for the Portal list.'

   

   puts 'Step 2,' x '.1: click the "Go" button'

   $ie.button(:id, "go").click

   puts '  Action: clicked the Go button.'

   

   assert??

 

runNumber = runNumber + 1

end

 

Now the question I have is I need to assert that the browser actually
went there (or at least tried to) I thought I could do this by capturing
the current page address in a variable and using another array to match
it against?

 

The other thing is the HTML knows what portal it is at using this method
(below)

 

<option value="/en/us/index.jsp">United States site</option>

<option selected="selected" value="#">Australia site</option>

<option value="/en/bb/index.jsp">Caribbean site</option>

<option value="/en/cn/index.jsp">China site</option>

<option value="/en/hk/index.jsp">Hong Kong site</option>

<option value="/en/in/index.jsp">India site</option>

<option value="/en/jp/index.jsp">Japan site</option>

<option value="/en/ng/index.jsp">Nigeria site</option>

<option value="/en/za/index.jsp">South Africa site</option>

<option value="/en/ae/index.jsp">UAE site</option>

 

Is there a way I can test for that instead? (my HTML is not so good to
be honest)

 

Any help would be appreciated

Mal

I do not understand what do you need.
 
To capture url use ie.url, for text ie.text, for title ie.title, for html
ie.html...

I do not understand what do you want to do.
 
You can enter 'watir rules' in textbox like this
 
ie.textField(:id, 'textField_id').set('watir rules')
 
and select 'watir rules' 
 
ie.selectBox(:id, 'selectBox_id').select('watir rules')

Its not an error message its a warning message and you can suppress that warning by using this code...
I think this is mainly because of the fact that the different frames are loaded from different domains.(not sure about it)

ie=IE.attach(:title, /.*Yahoo.*/)
   begin
      ie.link(:text, /.*Sign Out.*/).click
   rescue
   end
ie.close()

Let me know any issues.

Message-ID: <A5AC4D5F49F69D4BA71CEBD0E5C7DEA3063562@eghinter33.int.conchango.net>

 

Hi Zeljko

 

Basically I want my browser to 

1 - pick a site from an array

2 - enter it in the drop down

3 - press go (Thus loading the portal for that country)

4 - verify the correct site loaded

I can do all that except 4. So I thought if I can grab the URL from IE I
can compare that to another array of expected outcomes.

 

The Other option was to assert that the relevant part of the page source
after it loads looks like this

<option selected="selected" value="#">Australia site</option>

And not this

<option value="/en/us/index.jsp">Australia site</option>

 

But I am unsure how to do either of these. So I am trying to find out if
there is an easy way like assert(ie.current_url('the_URL_I_Am_expecting)
(This is of course made up)

 

OR

 

Assert(:ID, "Gatewaycountry", :Value, "#").contains(Australia site)
(Again made up)

 

Does this help?

 def MethodWrapper.insert_text(text, fieldname, description)
 
      $ie.text_field(:name, fieldname ).value = text

Message-ID: <20051116141749.87848.qmail@web8301.mail.in.yahoo.com>

  Hi,
   
  Problem is not as you understand. I am going to explain in detail.
  Actually I am writing test script in ruby and I am using WATiR for same. It?s an automatic testing script. When I start the execution of script it entered value and test the web pages. I am giving one example for that. Suppose I have to test login page, so for login page I have to entered user id and password in textbox and click the submit button. It will happen automatically. 
  So at first I write one library for login page then another fellow will call that library for testing of login page. The page structure is as
   
  User Id: 
   
           
     
    
  Password:
           
   
   
  So tester want to entered user id and password in the above textboxes, and tester does not know anything of textbox like id, name etc. but tester knows the name of label (i.e. User Id and Password), so  he will pass the name of label and value which he/she wants to entered in that textbox. 
   
  So now I am not getting how I can write the code for this situation.
   
  Please send me any sample if you get the time.
   
  Thanks and regards,
   
  -Prashant

take a look at css test in the unit tests directory. That does something simlar to what you need.

I think you need to do something slightly different:

 if /none/i.match(  ie.span(:id , 'xxx').getOleObject.style.cssText )
    puts "its hidden"
else
    puts "displayed!"
end

I have a span that is not disabled, as follows:

  Certain user actions cause the text within this span to show up in red,
otherwise it is hidden to the user.
 simply doing an ie.contains_text(span.text) does not work because
I still get non nil result whether the span is shown in red or not.
 Is there anyway around this so that I can test whether the text in the spa=

It works, you just have to learn how to get around ... alot of ajax stuff
gets initialized when a mouse over or other javascript event happens.

What is the best way to assert something on a parent window that is posted 
from a child window?  When I run my assert the script fails because the 
parent window isn't finishedl posting.  Is there a way to tell when IE is 
done posting?  Many thanks!

Is it as simple as doing an $ie.wait before my assert after reattaching to 
the parentwindow?

Are there any other options if neither of these workarounds are available?

I can't ask the developers to make the change you suggested and opening the
frames in seperate browsers doesn't work.

The test script I'm using is:

require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'

include Watir

class TC_Smoke_Test < Test::Unit::TestCase

def setup
#define constants
test_url = '
http://sedm3103.ent.agt.ab.ca:20003/desktopone/dashboard/initialAgent.do'

#launch browser
@ie = IE.new()
@ie.goto(test_url)
end

def teardown
#close browser
@ie.close()
end

def test_show_frames
puts @ie.show_frames()
end

end

The error message reads:

I know this is not a watir related question, but hope I could also find answers here.

Lately, My freeride doesn't accept japanese unicode characters anymore. it marks as ????. but i've set may language to japanese, and notepad accepts japanese characters.

Is there something I have to set with freeride? Thanks.

I've got it to work now. Thanks. Windows gave me a hard time in setting those language settings. When I activate a window, it's english, when i activate another one, its japanese.

There is code checked in (which should be in the next stable release) that
lets you identify elements using an XPath expression as a selector; this
allows constructs like the following to be used:

ie.element(:xpath, xpath-expression).method

Searching on XPath in the list archive should throw up several references
and examples of how this can be used in practice. Feel free to ask if you
hit any problems...

I was wondering if anyone can help me with the following:  I have a new
browser window that pops-up after clicking on a link, and it appears to
have frames within the browser:

<frameset cols="220, *" frameborder="1">
	<frame name="side" scrolling="auto"
src="./SideBar?swindow=CANSEARCH...&id=34547&doc=app&appid=214326365&res
id=2645346"></frame>
	<frame frameborder="yes" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
name="main" scrolling="yes"
src="./Resume_final?id=5534233527&doc=app&appid=21025265&resid=25323366"
></frame>
</frameset>

In the "main" section, there is a form that I am trying to submit, but
for some reason when I try to submit the form by doing this
<ie2.frame("main").form(:name, "foEditCandidateFormName").submit> I get
an error saying "Unable to locate a frame with name main"

I viewed source of the "main" section and found this tag:  <a
name="mainContent"></a>.  Is this how I access that area?

Thanks in advance,
ben

Trying the workaround stated above.  I'm able to manually open up the
frame that shows "--Access Denied---" in a new browser window.  The only
thing is that the URL is dynamic (URL has ids unique to the links I
clicked from).  How do I automate grabbing the URL from this page?
Manually, I just right-click on the frame and view properties and grab
the address.

I have searched the threads concerning IE windows launched as
showModalDialog, or showModeless. Has there been any progress on
handling windows launched as showModalDialog?  I have been able to get
AUTOIT to work somewhat but it is not consistent and frequently does not
find the window until I manually close and re-launch it.  Any thoughts?

What happens when you try?  =)

In the case of nested frames, I remember finding that using irb and
ie.show_frames was generally more helpful than using "view source". 
With irb, you always know which frame is inside which other frame.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Javascript tree problems
Message-ID: <BAY103-F29FFF1BBB38025A4594C00C05F0@phx.gbl>

I'm having difficulties getting to nodes in my javascript tree.  One of the 
problems is that I can't use the span text to select a node because there 
may be nodes within the tree with the same text (most likely nested).  And 
the image icons (e.g. folder.gif) aren't unique either.  So what I'd like to 
do is be able to drilldown into the tree and click a span at a given level 
(e.g. expand billing node to display expenses and time entry node and click 
on time entry).   L.gif is the plus sign.  Following is what the (shortened) 
HTML looks like:
<DIV class=wtvdiv1 _WTV_INDEX="17">
	<IMG src="G.gif" align=absMiddle _WTV_IMAGE="17">
	<IMG class=wtvicon1 src="icon_home.gif" _WTV_ICON="17">
	<SPAN class=TreeNode _WTV_NODE="17" unselectable="on">Home</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
	<DIV class=wtvdiv1 _WTV_INDEX="0">
		<IMG style="MARGIN-LEFT: 19px" src="A.gif" align=absMiddle>

It looks to me that your application does what it is supposed to do. Open
new page in the same browser. Watir has nothing with the fact what happens
after he clicks button.
Could you give me more detail (html...)?

Right now, when I click a button, the page shows on the same browser page.
Can Watir have the page open on a new browser page instead?
 
Thanks in advance,

One of the things you can do is an IE setting.  In IE:

1.  Select the menu item Tools >> Internet Options.  

2.  Select the Advanced tab.

3.  Under the heading 'Browser', uncheck the option 'Reuse windows for
launching shortcuts'

4.  Click Apply

 

The other option is have your developers force a new window using
JavaScript something like:

<INPUT type="button" 

value="New Window!" 

onClick="window.open('http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jex5.htm',

'mywindow','width=400,height=200,toolbar=yes,
location=yes,directories=yes,

status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=yes, resizable=yes')">


 

Hope this helps,

It's ole_object, not getOleObject.

Good morning:

Our application permits a user to import a site file.  I am able to attach
to the pop up utility, but I am not able to find the text_area.  When we do
a ie.show_all_objects we are returned this

file              name=file           id=                 value=
alt=                src=

The ruby code looks like this:

            ie2 = IE.attach(:title, "Upload Site Data")

            assert(ie2.contains_text('Import the site data file by
navigating to it using the Browse dialog. When finished, click Import.'))

            ie2.show_all_objects

            sleep 5
            ie2.text_field(:name, "file").set(
"c:\Functional_Test_site_data.csv")

Here is a screen shot of the pop up.  I can sent the html if needed.

(Embedded image moved to file: pic29641.jpg)


Here is the error message:

 1) Error:
test1(SCP_Account_Mgmt_2):
NoMethodError: undefined method `text_file' for #<Watir::IE:0x2c4da60>
    C:/SBC10/sbc/test/Functional/scp_Account_Mgmn_2.rb:119:in `test1'

How do I get Ruby to import this file?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Carl

I've got working support for showModalDialog that actually gives you full 
access to the DOM.

I'm hoping to find time over the next week to commit this.

Manish,

Really, this is a situation where the specifics of the implementation used
by the app you are trying to test is the more important thing to know.

Different applications that use ajax style dynamic messaging with the server
side do it uniquely.

You really need to study up on your application. I don't want to start
giving you information and lead you in a direction that isn't necessarily
in-line with what you actually need to know.

I hope you understand.

Take a look at your objects, uploads aren't considered text fields. try
using a file_field

ie.file_field( :name, "file" ).set "c:\\Functional_Test_site_data.csv"

Message-ID: <20051118130715.44833.qmail@web8512.mail.in.yahoo.com>

Hi,
    I am using WET to handle alert windows.I am able to dismiss the alert window by clicking on the ' OK'  button using
  def_ok()
  $ie.Button("value:=Submit").click_without_blocking()
$ie.Dialog("title:=Microsoft Internet Explorer").Button("text:=OK").click
  end
  But I want to retrieve the text in the alert window and verify if the right alert message is displayed.
  For Eg:An alert window saying 'Do You really want to do this".How do I get the text? How can I use Label(*args) method to do this?
   
  Thanks,
  Amitha

Hi Amitha,

Assuming that you are using the latest version of WET (0.5.3), you will 
have wet-winobjects
installed on your machine. Using wet-winobjects, you will be able to do 
what you asked. For example,
in your case, you can do :

dlg = $ie.Dialog("title:=Microsoft Internet Explorer")
lbl = dlg.win_label("index:=1")  # Pl. Try index of 2, 3 - one of them works
puts lbl.display_text

will printout out
Do You really want to .... (The text that is displayed on the dialog)

The dlg.win_label above retrieves a handle to the first 'Static' element 
in the dialog window.
The display_text method of the win_label class gets the actual text 
being displayed by the
label.

Hope this helps.

The wet-winobjects is a ruby gem including rdocs. The rdocs describes 
all the wet-winboject
class API.

Cheers
Raghu

Is there anyway I can get the url specified in onclick?
(http://fo-vap-rhe-us...)

Here's a snip from the source code:

<INPUT name="add" TYPE="button" value="Add to EDC"
style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:xx-small"
onclick="top.main.location='http://fo-vap-rhe-us/moveCandidate.jsp?profi
leId=10023852&foUserId=CYENBOR&lob=AT';top.side.document.actionForm.add.
disabled=true;"> 

What I would want to do is take this url and open it in a new browser
window.

Thanks in advance,
ben

Hi All,
 I am a recent convert to Watir and am loving every part of it. Since I am a
newbie to both Watir and Ruby any help would be appreciated.
 Currently I am having problem tackling the window logon prompt (ntlm
challenge). i am not sure how to enter the username and password in that.
The unit tests bundled with Watir does have a test for it but I have not
been able to decrypt the code.
 Thanks in advance,
 Abhijit

It's all frames within frames. A bit awkward to navigate, but Watir can do 
it...

You also need to make sure you take care of synchronization yourself. Watir 
does not automatically do ajax synchronization.

You can always find the input and then parse out the information for
yourself.

ie.input( :name, "add" ).html.scan( /main.location='(.*)';top.side/ )

should return just that portion of things you are interested in. Remember
that if your html is on multiple lines be sure to add a /m suffix to the
regex for #scan.

once you have the correct table cell just call #fire_event( "onClick" ) or
just call #click it should invoke the onClick code.

Using HEAD, this might do what you want.

   ie.span(:text, 'Billing').click
   ie.span(:text, 'Time Entry').click

Hi Raghu,
    Thanks for the help.
    But Watir hangs when I use win_label and display_text methods.
I am using  0.5.3(latest)  version of WET and that has winobjects.
   
  The following is my code:
   
  require 'WET'
include WET
  
ie = nil
ie = Browser("url:=LOGIN_URL")
sleep 2
  ie.Button("value:=Submit").click #Gives Alert window...
dilg = ie.Dialog("title:=Microsoft Internet Explorer")
lbl = dilg.win_label("index:=1")
puts lbl.display_text

  It clicks on the button and alert window appears. But it hangs after that.
I tried  include Wet::Winobjects. 
  I tried with indexes 1,2,3,4.But even that didn't help
   
   
  Please help.
   
  Thanks,
   Amitha

  Hi Amitha,

Assuming that you are using the latest version of WET (0.5.3), you will 
have wet-winobjects
installed on your machine. Using wet-winobjects, you will be able to do 
what you asked. For example,
in your case, you can do :

dlg = $ie.Dialog("title:=Microsoft Internet Explorer")
lbl = dlg.win_label("index:=1") # Pl. Try index of 2, 3 - one of them works
puts lbl.display_text

will printout out
Do You really want to .... (The text that is displayed on the dialog)

The dlg.win_label above retrieves a handle to the first 'Static' element 
in the dialog window.
The display_text method of the win_label class gets the actual text 
being displayed by the
label.

Hope this helps.

The wet-winobjects is a ruby gem including rdocs. The rdocs describes 
all the wet-winboject
class API.

Cheers
Raghu

Hi Amitha,

This time you seemed to have used
ie.Button("value:=Submit").click
instead of
ie.Button("value:=Submit").click_without_blocking()

Thanks
Raghu

Hi,
   I tried with click_without_blocking().
  It is throwing the following exception:
   undefined method `win_label' for #<WET::ModalDialog:0x31fc528> (NoMethodError)
  I tried with different index..(1 to 6).But it threw the same exception.
   
  Thanks,
  Amitha

OK. Now I see!!. I basically misguided you.

win_label() is a method in the underlying win-objects library which
can be used to control win32  UI  (call it ruby based AutoIT but with
limited options as of now.). This method has been wrapped in the
ModalDialog class as Label(). So the correct syntax would be.

dilg.Label("index:=1")

Sorry for the confusion. Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
    Thanks a lot." dilg.Label("index:=1")" works fine.
  I have one more query...
  Can  we use exists?function  for popup i.e Is there a method to confirm if popup has appeared..
   
  Thanks,
  Amitha

You need regular expressions
(http://www.regular-expressions.info/ruby.html).
 
If "X" means letter this will do it:
 
irb(main):003:0> ie.text =~ /(\w){3},(\w){4},(\w){4},(\d|\w){4},/
=> 507
irb(main):004:0> my_var = Regexp.last_match(0)
=> "XXX,XXXX,XXXX,XXXX,"
 
Now you have "XXX,XXXX,XXXX,XXXX," in variable my_var.
 
"\w" will match any letter, "(\w){3}" will match three letters
 
if "X" is:
- number: replace \w with \d
- number or letter: replace \w with \d|\w
- anything: replace \w with . (dot)

Hi Bret,

I tried your suggestion and I'm getting a 

NoMethodError:undefined method 'cell' for
#<Watir::table:0x2b32640>

I tried index 1 to 10 for the table, but i get the same
method error. I noticed that the main table for the side
bar has no index, is there another attribute that I can use
to identify that table ?


thanks

Hi Amitha,

There is no method to directly do that. However you can
put the dilg = ie.Dialog("title:=Microsoft Internet Explorer")
statement inside a Begin-Rescue block and catch timeout
exception. In the current implementation, the code tries
for 10 seconds to find the popup and gives up after that (
by raising a Timeout error).

Thanks
Raghu

Hi,
  I tried Begin-Rescue but Rescue block is not catching Timeout exception.
  Its coming out of the test throwing that exception.
   
  My code:
  $ie.Button("value:=Submit").click_without_blocking()
  begin
   alert_win = $ie.Dialog("title:=Microsoft Internet Explorer")
   alert_label = alert_win.Label("index:=2")
   alert_text =  alert_label.display_text
   alert_win.Button("text:=OK").click
rescue
   puts"No alert window found"
ensure
  puts"ok"
  end
   
   Its printing whatever is in ensure block.But its not entering rescue block..
   
  Also I tried to reduce timeout to 5 seconds using
  $ie.timeout = 5 
  But it throws the following exception:
  undefined method `timeout=' for #<WET::Browser:0x31fbc10> (NoMethodError)
   
   
  Thanks
  Amitha

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to retrieve the text in an Alert Window using
 WET?

Hi Amitha,

We ran into a similar issue a while back. For some reason
(I dont know if it is a ruby issue), rescue doesn't trap 'Timeout' errors.
You have explicitly catch a Timeout error as:

begin
     .....
    ...
rescue Timeout::Error
  puts "No alert window found"
end

  ie = Watir::IE.start('http://wtr.rubyforge.org/')
  file.puts(ie.html)

I'm quivering in anticipation!

Although I just cracked my vmware issues, so I'll be able to use
Windows without booting into a dual boot setup, but I'd rather avoid

I tried using jssh ... it was really buggy when I messed with it... If it
works, I guess go for it.

Thanks Jeff!  This mailing list rocks!

I was able to grab the url, but now '&amp;' shows up in the url.  How do
I remove 'amp;' and just leave '&' in the string?

Getting this:

You can always find the input and then parse out the information for
yourself.

ie.input( :name, "add" ).html.scan( /main.location='(.*)';top.side/ )

should return just that portion of things you are interested in.
Remember that if your html is on multiple lines be sure to add a /m
suffix to the regex for #scan.

Programming Ruby 2nd Edition ( the pickaxe book )
The Ruby Way
Ruby in a Nutshell ( written by Matz himself ) is a good "starter" book.

Also, Chris Pine ( pine.fm <http://pine.fm> I think ) has a good starters
tutorial.

...

all good materials.

I suggest the Programming Ruby by Dave Thomas. It's what I use.

A lot of the other book are good but they cover older versions.

I would also suggest some supplemetary reading, such as "the poignant guide to ruby" http://poignantguide.net/ruby/ if you like very stange humor. I do.

also look at http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000199.html

Cheers

The right way is to use an HTML parser.
The quick'n'dirty way is

string.gsub("&amp;",""&")

I know, I just used the quick'n'dirty way (for now)... =)

Message-ID: <005f01c5efd4$b55ca4e0$6bb0a042@corp.lyris.com>

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestion about using Ruby/Watir to stress test a web application.

I'm trying to run pretty basic load test on one of our servers, it's really simple, just a simple access to a single webpage and then that's it. I'm using the code

ie = Watir::IE.new()
ie.goto(page)
ie.close()

I'm wondering what is the best way to create thousands (more than 25K) of these processes and have them all storm the server at once. I've tried the approach of creating a shell script that just calls the ruby script multiple times I found out that though it works, it's does not generate enough traffic for my needs.

Is there a more efficient way to be doing this? 

Thanks for your help

Here is the code to get rid of cookies. Sorry it took so long, had to
get permission, and then I kept forgetting

It was writtern on Win XP - the paths maybe different for win 2000

It may be possible to add a reg exp or string to limit the domain that
cookies are deleted

This is similar to the code in watir/cookiemanager.rb

However, i should note that this code has no tests for it and was only put 
there as a convenience to users (just like the code below). I suspect that 
it also has platform limitations. I don't know enough to recommend one 
implementation over the other.

I've been thinking about putting code like this in watir/contrib/* instead. 
The idea is that any code could be put here with no warrenty from us. There 
are a couple files in watir/* that should probably go there. Plus we could 
include more stuff from people on the list.

Another idea would be to farm a page on RubyGarden.org with examples.

Thoughts?

Hi,
  I want to write a test case in which I am required to test a date field. This date field is a "readonly text field".
   
   The input to this readonly text field is by means of a calendar( the user is supposed to select a date from the calendar which will be displayed in the text field).
   
  I want to input data into the "Readonly text field" without selecting the date from the calendar. Is this possible in watir?
  Is there a way to input data into the "Readonly text field" in watir?

you should be able to use the value= method

using the textfields.html from the watir_bonus\unittests\html dir

ie.text_field(:name , 'readOnly').value='test'

seems to work

Thanks for the report. I've corrected the rdoc. An earlier version of 
Watir::SelectList had code for supporting arrays, but it was buggy and removed.

There are MUCH more efficient ways of doing this... I'm pretty sure the
WATiR FAQ has text regarding the fact that it's not intended for stress
testing...

Anyways, there was a recently released package to the ruby community called
: RWB

It's not yet released as a gem so installation is slightly more involved.

But sample code would look like:

require 'rwb'

urls = RWB::Builder.new()
urls.add_url(1, "http://www.example.com")

tests = RWB::Runner.new(urls, 50, 5)

tests.run
tests.report_header
tests.report_overall([0.5, 0.9, 0.99, 0.999])


... this would run the same URL 50 times with 5 concurrent requests. Output
would look something like:

completed 5 runs
completed 10 runs
completed 15 runs
completed 20 runs
completed 25 runs
completed 30 runs
completed 35 runs
completed 40 runs
completed 45 runs
completed 50 runs
Concurrency Level:       5
Total Requests:          50
Total time for testing:  0.23 secs
Requests per second:     217.391304347826
Mean time per request:   21  msecs
Standard deviation:      6
Overall results:
        Shortest time:  10 msecs
        50.0%ile time:  20 msecs
        90.0%ile time:  30 msecs
        99.0%ile time:  40 msecs
        99.9%ile time:  40 msecs
        Longest time:   40 msecs

I think that's much more along the lines of what you are after.

Check the mail list archives-- a reasonably powerful client will
support around 50-70 browsers at the same time.  You'd need about 5000
different computers running your script.

Check out tools like grinder, httpunit, OpenSTA, WWW::Mechanize and
friends, Canoo, etc.  These tools are all useragents with measurement
features, rather than browser-drivers.

RWB can do 00s or more simultaneous on a box... which would scale to a heavy
load much easier.

Hi,


   Maybe this is something usual but I didn't find how to generate a nice
HTML report (like the ones found in JUnit or NUnit) with the test results
done by WATIR. This would be an interesting thing to do with a continuous
integration tool. Someone have experience eith this kind of environment. So
after all test cases run the CI Tool would pick the HTML report and publish
in its web site. And if someone wants to he could browse to HTML reports
from past days, like CruiseControl does.

Sorry folks!!! I discovered how to do it with test-report!!!

In the googleSuite_test.rb example of Watir do:

      1 - include: require 'test/unit/ui/reporter'
      2 - on the last line: Test::Unit::UI::Reporter.run(TC_google_suite,
'exemplo')

   It will generate HTML output to 'exemplo' folder. I had a problem with
the class reporter.rb from test-reporter on my Windows. After some errors I
tried to include the line require 'stringio' . It worked!


  But I still will like to receive feedback about CI tool integration :-)
!!!


                Thanks!

The right way is to use an HTML parser.
The quick'n'dirty way is

string.gsub("&amp;",""&")

I know, I just used the quick'n'dirty way (for now)... =) -Chris

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestion about
using Ruby/Watir to stress test a web application.

I'm trying to run pretty basic load test on one of our servers, it's
really simple, just a simple access to a single webpage and then that's
it. I'm using the code

ie = Watir::IE.new()
ie.goto(page)
ie.close()

I'm wondering what is the best way to create thousands (more than 25K)
of these processes and have them all storm the server at once. I've
tried the approach of creating a shell script that just calls the ruby
script multiple times I found out that though it works, it's does not
generate enough traffic for my needs.

Is there a more efficient way to be doing this? 

Thanks for your help

Here is the code to get rid of cookies. Sorry it took so long, had to
get permission, and then I kept forgetting

It was writtern on Win XP - the paths maybe different for win 2000

It may be possible to add a reg exp or string to limit the domain that
cookies are deleted

Thanks to Jason Scammell and Neteller for this.

This is similar to the code in watir/cookiemanager.rb

However, i should note that this code has no tests for it and was only
put there as a convenience to users (just like the code below). I
suspect that it also has platform limitations. I don't know enough to
recommend one implementation over the other.

I've been thinking about putting code like this in watir/contrib/*
instead. 
The idea is that any code could be put here with no warrenty from us.
There are a couple files in watir/* that should probably go there. Plus
we could include more stuff from people on the list.

Another idea would be to farm a page on RubyGarden.org with examples.

Thoughts?

Hi,
  I want to write a test case in which I am required to test a date
field. This date field is a "readonly text field".
   
   The input to this readonly text field is by means of a calendar( the
user is supposed to select a date from the calendar which will be
displayed in the text field).
   
  I want to input data into the "Readonly text field" without selecting
the date from the calendar. Is this possible in watir?
  Is there a way to input data into the "Readonly text field" in watir?

you should be able to use the value= method

using the textfields.html from the watir_bonus\unittests\html dir

ie.text_field(:name , 'readOnly').value='test'

seems to work

WET has the HTML reporter framework.....And the results are neatly 
formated in HTML format.

The sample is a bit off... try

# same as before.
add_url = ie.frame( 'side' ).button( :name, "add" ).html.scan(
/main.location='(.*)';top.side/ )


# here's where you're getting confused.  scan returns an array of all
matches. ( in this case it's one thing, but scan doesn't care )... So,
either

# so either flatten the array into a single string
add_url.to_s!

# or

# or create a new array after cleaning each of the scan results.
add_url2 = add_url.map { |curr| curr.gsub "&amp;", "&" }

# at that point add_url2 will still be an array. but, each element of the
array has now had the &amp; sets removed.

# still need to either access by ordinal
add_url2[0]

# or flatten the array into a single string.
add_url2.to_s!

hope that helps..

Hi, Jose!

Here is the sample of a NUnit wrapper for Watir tests:
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntegratingRubyAndWatirWithNUnit.aspx

I use it in a slightly modified form for differrent Ruby tests, not only
Watir. But the main idea is that it will be a usual NUnit fixture, included
in a CruiseControl report as other NUnit fixtures.

Yury.

  Is this due to the applet?
  I am not trying to do anything in the first screen(which has applet). I  just  want to login and access another screen in the application and this screen does not have applet.
  How do I handle this?
   
  Thanks,
  Amitha

Thank you Yuri!


         The problem with this is the need to run .NET Framework and install
another tool for it to work. Do you or someone else know how to do it only
with Watir and an open source CI Tool ?


              Thanks!

Hi,
       I want to write a test case to check maxlength validation for a text field.
  When I try to input a string which exceeds maxlength  into a text field using watir, the text field accepts the value and also saves it.  
  But  when I try to manually enter a string that exceeds maxlength it truncates the excess characters.
  How do I handle this??

As of now, there is no support for the above browsers. However some 
folks are working on adding support for Mozilla and we hope
that one day Watir will have support for more browsers.

you might want to try out damagecontrol: http://hieraki.lavalamp.ca/read/book/3
it's a ruby-based open source CI tool.  i don't know if it supports
watir directly, but i imagine that it would be pretty straightforward
to add it.
cheers,

are you using 

text_field(..).set('a string')
or
text_field(..).value='a string'

set should honour the max length value of the text field ( as specified in the html)

.value= will put the whole string in

  Hi,
   
  I am using ie.text_field(..).set('a string').
   
  But still the textfield accepts a string that  exceeds the max length.
  When I retrieve the contents of the text field it gives the entire string (i.e all the characters including the ones that exceed the max length)
   
  How do I deal with this?
   
  Thanks

Message-ID: <A5AC4D5F49F69D4BA71CEBD0E5C7DEA30A957D@eghinter33.int.conchango.net>

Hi Everyone

 

OK so this is probably a little rudimentary but in order to keep my
scripts separately for separate pages (Which will make maintaining them
much easier) Is there a way to create a control file that basically says

 

 Go and Run /myDir/Script1.rb

When it ends

Go and run /myDir/Script2.rb

When it ends

Go And Run /myDir/Script3.rb

 

And is there a way I can log the results of each separately to files 

Log <filename> 1

Any help would be appreciated (I am more a tester than a programmer so
all this is a steep learning curve)

Oh, yes, if I knew a simplier way (the one without intermediate xUnit
framework) I would like to use it too. Since I use CruiseControl.NET to
build ASP.NET applications, I stopped at that obvious solution for a while.

And thank you too! I did not know about that Test::Unit::UI::Reporter. It
can produce an XML report either, which CruiseControl can merge whith its
build log file. So when I have a little time for it, I should write an
xsl-stylesheet for CC to make reports right for Ruby tests!
Whatever CI tool you will select, I hope that XML should work in majority
of cases.

Yury.

Hi all,

Im trying to run

if (i == 4) then
        $branch_column2[count] = table[i][2].text_field(:index,
1).name.to_s
        count += 1

but I always get an error message, regardless on how I organise the if -

Would anyone know?

I tried installing and running damagecontrol, but it crashes. I am no
Ruby expert and could not figure out whats exactly wrong?

Anywasy,
Is project alive?
The project does n't have active mailing list. No messages since April.

Has anybody working installation, I wanted to try out to see how
I can automate our build process. From the documents it looks very
promising.

Hi Polleu,

Not sure if I got your query right, I guess u r trying to execute the loop
thru irb. If thats the case use following statement to start IRB: 

irb --noreadline

I found that your loop is properly defined. To test I have assigned some
value to i. Here is the code:

i=9
if (i == 4) then
puts "4"
elsif (i == 9) then
puts "9"
else
puts "other"
end
U might also rethink to use case instead of if...

Hope this helps,

Vishal

Assuming that each of these scripts are executable... how about:

--SCRIPT--
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

run_dir = "/mydir"
pages = [ "/Script1.rb", "/Script2.rb", "/Script3.rb" ]

pages.each do |curr_page|
  `#{ run_dir }#{ curr_page } >#{ curr_page }.log`
end

#run complete
--SCRIPT--

Should provide you with what you are after.. There are lots of options for
ways to make this command-line driven... Look @ Usage or GetOptLong or any
of the other CLI arg handling packages.

Could be.

I suspect that the Watir::IE#wait method is failing to return, thus causing 
your hang. This method is called implicitly by other Watir methods to 
ensure window synchronization.

I'd recommend stubbing out this method when the applet appears, and then 
resetting it back to its default state afterwards.

This is very much dependant on what you consider an "error"...

Do you mean an error from the HTTP side of things ??? a browser failure ???
a com failure ??? what ?

Message-ID: <20051125224450.614.qmail@web52915.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi list
I launched my web application with an instance of IE
through irb. 
Browse to where I needed to delete an asset, the javascript
confirmation popup shows up on the screen, I then enter
w = WinClicker.new
handle = w.getWindowHandle("Microsoft Internet Explorer")
w.makeWindowActive(handle)
w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(handle,"OK") 
line by line in irb and it closes the popup.

But when I have the it in my script as
   
  ...

  $ie.frame("cpmain").image(:src, /del.gif/).click
  w = WinClicker.new
  handle = w.getWindowHandle("Microsoft Internet Explorer")
  w.makeWindowActive(handle)
  w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(handle,"OK")

somehow it doesn't work. Any idea or suggestion!

thanks

I guess we didn't add the cell method to tables until after 1.4.2. You 
might want to take a look at the code in HEAD.

Using 1.4.2, i think this should work:
   ie.table(:index, ?).row(:index, 3).cell(:index, 1).click

Index is what you have to have to use when objects don't have any usable 
attributes.

Hi Bret,
Thanks for the reply. I got it to work now with 
   table=$ie.frame('cpmain').table(:index, 2)
   table[3][1].click
I have to use index 2 because the side nav menu was in a
table within a bigger table. Works great.

thanks
Roy.

Subject: [Wtr-general] [ANN] The new Watir wiki: http://watir.net
Message-ID: <1e55af990511262115m4b9bf7fdv7d1f26f6fb0c932e@mail.gmail.com>

For the next week or so, I'll be migrating the existing wiki into a
MediaWiki installation at watir.net  During that time, I ask that
editing be reined in until the new wiki is ready.

Editing at the new site during this volatile time is welcome, but
don't be offended if it gets shuffled around.  =)

----
----

I've been doing my Watir scriptly mostly through dumb luck and the
jurry-rigging of example code.  How many others are following this
same pattern?

I tend to get an idea in my head.. play around with it based on the
limited set of commands that I know, get frustrated and go looking for
examples, bend other peoples code to my use, break things horribly..
try (and fail) to understand the various error messages, often getting
frustrated at having to test and re-test.

Some of the things that I'm doing to help myself:

* Keep good notes and examples handy, so I can remember commands.
* Keep all sorts of notes and code resources handy, so that I know
where to turn when I want to steal some good code.
* Try to pay attention to "good coding practices", even though many
don't make sense right now.  Write things dwn.
* Try to remember what error messages are trying to convey, to make
debugging time less stressful.
* Learn to use irb, which I very strongly despise.  It feels
embarassingly amateurish to me.
* Find and use an editor which can tell me what line number things
break on, and hopefully why.
* Get more comfortable with help resources.. technical docs and such. 
Write examples whenever I can, since technical docs are utterly
worthless for communicating to regular folk.. they have no examples
and are vague at best.

I've been trying and trying to get more Ruby and Watir experience, and
to that end I've been more directly tackling the above ideas.  One of
the ways I'll be doing that, and hopefully helping out a lot of other
struggling watir-ists is through the new Watir wiki: http://watir.net

My goals for the watir wiki:

In a week or two:

* Absorb the existing wiki's content.
* Absorb the original wiki's content.

Next:

* A revised tutorial -- I wrote bunches of notes while learning Watir,
and those will find a home in an easily-digested tutorial.
* A user-contributed snippets database.
* A user-contributed resource page.  Absorb my own notes from
http://jrandomhacker.info/Watir etc.

Longer-term goals:

* Absorb and annotate the Watir test cases.  Everyone keeps referring
to these as the examples to do all the various Watir functions. 
That's great, except the only feedback I've heard on them is that
they're completely inaccessible to new people because they're not
carved up into well-commented bites.

* Coding style -- absorbed into the easily-digested tutorials will be
coding style notes that describe why one choice was made over another.
 For example, why "rescue" is and isn't a good idea in various
circumstances.  (I still don't fully understand this one)

Well that wasn't much of a challenge.  The entire wiki [1] has now
been ported over.  I'll move on to the original wiki [2] next.

That's this tag:
td bgcolor="#eee"
It is showing up nicely in FireFox, but in IE it is dark which obscures the
text.

Hi 

 

Can we parameterize data using watir ? want information on the file formats
from which watir can access data ,

 

Can we obtain a set of data from a excel sheet and fill forms using watir?

 

Regards

hrishi

Currently watir.com points to wtr.rubyforge.com, not the wiki.

Which do you think is a better first stop for people who are new to watir?

Do we want the Welcome page to the wiki look more like wtr.rubyforge.com?

WATiR is simply a library for Ruby ( the programming language ).  You have
the full expressive power of the Ruby programming language at your disposal.

Database connectivity, Win32OLE direct COM automation, text files, whatever
you want ... it's all there either as part of the core distribution or as a
readily available third-party add-on.

Since you mention Excel specifically, yes there are a number of projects to
provide access to excel spreadsheet data.

I believe the WET extensions for WATiR have Excel support integrated.

watir can obtain data from excel sheet as well as the xml format.... Itz 
good to take the datas from the excel for the parameterization.  The 
current version of WET supports the parameterization and excel.  If you 
want to use the xml to access the data, then use REXML.  This can be 
found in

http://www.germane-software.com/software/rexml/docs/tutorial.html

I was going for a light grey, like the watir.com intro.  I changed it
to #eeeeee, but I don't know if that'll make a difference. 
"lightgrey" wasn't light enough for me..

The wiki could be set up as http://wiki.watir.com if you wanted. 
Because watir.com has been picked up, there isn't a pressing reason to
keep watir.net distinct.

I like the idea of migrating the static website docs into the wiki and
protecting them against public editing, but that's because I see a
wiki as a CMS that obsoletes old fashioned websites.  There's no
problem with mirrorring what's in the website into the wiki.. making
it look like the main website etc.

Btw, I edited the watir logo for transparency and snuck it into the wiki.  =)

	style="display:none"
Message-ID: <e26bda3e0511280347n64bd6d8crf3849c303b3c6992@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

While using watir to compose a mail(Yahoo mail), I came across a text area
with style set to display:none:

<textarea name="Body" id="bodyfield" style="display:none"></textarea>

According to CSS tutorials at w3schools:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_class_display.asp

The value none means that element will not be displayed. But the element is
visible in the browser and when I try to enter text in to it following
exception comes:

d:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3849:in `method_missing': focus
(WIN32OLERuntimeError)

    OLE error code:800A083E in htmlfile

      Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled,
or of a type that does not accept the focus.

    HRESULT error code:0x80020009

      Exception occurred. from
d:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3849:in `set'

Now how to enter value in such a textarea?

Regards,
Angrez

If style="display:none" is set in the html it means that it'll not be 
shown in the browser. 
then
a) either you have found a bug in IE or
b) You have one more text area with the same name & id which is visible.
so just scroll down and then check if there is another textarea with the 
same name and id which is visible.

I use Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) with Web Developer
extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=60). Open
page, select text/items of your choice, right click your mouse and select
View Selection Source from menu. Only source of selected text/items will be
shown.

Quick and easy. :)

Try using .value= instead of .set ... .set emulates a user, where .value
pushs the value straight through COM.

I think the WIKI should be the ENTIRE site ... minus, of course, the issue
trackers & download managers which should stay @ rubyforge ... ( until there
is a good plugin to replace them in the wiki ).

Good job folks... Other than wishing that we are/were using a Ruby Wiki
solution ... It looks good.

Hi all...

Is there a way to get Ruby to ignore line ends in a long text string
for readabiliy purposes, for instance a long SQL query?

Thanks for your patience...

Hmm, seems IFRAMES are woefully undersupported...

I've got a page with an IFrame embedded.

<iframe id="contentFrame" src="subpage.html" height="100%" width="100%"
frameborder="no"></iframe>
I seem only to be able to get to this frame by :index

:id, /contentFrame/ returns "NoMethodError": undefined method 'invoke' for
nil:NilClass

:src doesn't appear to be a supported :how either ...

Can anybody point me to some light?

So, I believe people need a bit more information.

Do you have a string that has extra \n's that you want to get rid of ?
Or, are you trying to put a sql statement in source code with extra \n's so
that it is more readable to you ???

Here's examples of both:

# first fill a string with data including \n chars.
 sql = <<END_OF_SQL
select
  *
from
  LIB.ACCOUNTs accounts,
  LIB.SSNS ssns,
  LIB.PLANS plans
where
  accounts.FOO_KEY = ssns.BAR_KEY
  and  plan.BAZ_KEY = ssns.BAR_KEY
  and  ssns.DEPCD = ''
  and ... ETC ETC ETC
END_OF_SQL

# now clean out the \n chars
formatted_sql = sql.gsub( /\n/, '' )

Hi 

 

Stuck in two places while automating application:

 

1)The date picker link , the link to click a date cannot be automated
-screen-1,

 

(The date picker is a separate pop-up java script file , when user clicks on
a date, the date gets entered in the text field)

 

2)Buttons on the peril information window cannot be clicked / automated -

screen-2 ,

 

(The buttons are html buttons on the .aspx peril information window )

 

screen shots for reference are attached.

 

Pl let me know if there is fix for it.

 

Regards

hrishi

I was going for a light grey, like the watir.com intro.  I changed it

to #eeeeee, but I don't know if that'll make a difference. 

"lightgrey" wasn't light enough for me..

We only have unit tests for accessing iframes by name and by index.

The DOM accesses to frames is different in several ways from other page 
elements and therefore Watir has lots of special purpose code to make the 
Watir interface to frames look similar to that of other objects. Someone 
needs to sign up for generalizing the frame support to also work for iframes.

I use Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) with Web
Developer extension
(https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=60). Open page,
select text/items of your choice, right click your mouse and select View
Selection Source from menu. Only source of selected text/items will be
shown.

Quick and easy. :)

If style="display:none" is set in the html it means that it'll not be
shown in the browser. 
then
a) either you have found a bug in IE or
b) You have one more text area with the same name & id which is visible.
so just scroll down and then check if there is another textarea with the
same name and id which is visible.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Patch for HEAD - Updated Frame#locate
Message-ID: <b539c61e0511282133w50ec8126gffc4acb966f88a03@mail.gmail.com>

Ok, here's my submission for a patch to HEAD for the Frame#locate function.

It solves the bug with not being able to find iframes by anything other than
:index

With this patch both frames and iframes are all now findable based on

:index, :src, :name, or :id

Let me know what you think.

I haven't updated the testcases yet, but I did test it out manually ( good
'ol irb ).

It can be automated, you just have to be a little more fun in how you do it.

Based on your comments, both of the popping up windows are in fact just
additional IE windows...

You should be able to instantiate additional IE objects attaching them to
these other windows...

Should provide you with what you need.

Don't know ... without being in front of it, it gets hard to debug sometimes
...

Is this page publically available for review?

Wish I could be more help.

Message-ID: <b539c61e0511282237o3f9bd331ic20b01fc9339b5a5@mail.gmail.com>

Ok, attached is my patch against HEAD that supports :name, :index, :id, &
:src how attributes for both FRAME and IFRAME tags ...

Also included are patches for frame_test.rb to test this additional
functionality.

The only use case I didn't build and/or test ( but I don't see it anywhere
else either ) ... is what if a user pushes a regex for an index...

If we need to cover it, I can, but I figured this is/was a good start.

Review & Comments appreciated.

wait till next release of watir where you will find a new attribute called
:xpath for accessing any element (except FRAME) using an XPath expression
or you can download the tar ball from the cvs HEAD and start using this
extension.

Hi all,

I am having a hard time finding how to setup some database libraries
to make some assertions on my code after driving the UI. Since I am
primarly looking for general DB access, I have tried ruby-dbi with
little success by now. Maybe I will try ruby-mysql, but I really want
something not tied to one database.

What people would suggest?

Excellent article! Exactly what I looked for!


      Just a question: Even with the test case failure CC .NET still
declared the build successful? Why?

Hello,
   
  I'm playing around with WATIR and here is my problem:
   
  #test::unit includes
require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'
require 'watir'
  ie = Watir::IE.new
ie = Watir::IE.start("http://mail.yahoo.com")
test = ie.contains_text("You have")
if !test
  ie.text_field(:name, "login").set("jirmac2003")
  ie.text_field(:name, "passwd").set("*********")
  ie.button(:value, "Sign In").click
end
a = ie.contains_text("You have")
if !a 
  puts "Test failed!"
else
  puts "Test passed."
end
   
  This program tries to log into my yahoo mail account, which works fine. But what can I do to read the number of my new emails? The relevant part of the html looks as follows:
   
  <tr>
<td valign="top">
<h2 style="margin-bottom:8px;">
                        Welcome, Jiri!

                        You have <b>0 unread messages</b>:<br>
</td>
</tr>
   
  Is there any command in WATIR that would allow me to read this info directly? Or do I need to use other libraries (e.g. DOM) to parse the content? If the latter, would it be possible to get an example how WATIR and DOM (or anything similar) are integrated?
   
  Thanks, Jirka

Hello,
   
  this is the second issue I have observed:
  when I run my test repeatedly, it seems that WATIR remembers the contents of the page. E.g. I login to my mail account - for the first time I need to enter my login ID/password, but for the second time I can get in with no login/pswd whatsoever. And this behaves like this [b]unless I log out[/b] (manually, or click on the log out button).
   
  It's fine by me, but it does behave differently than the browser. What am I missing here?
   
  Thanks, Jirka

It is not a bug of CC.Net. I made one of the tests to fail, and then run
the sample CC.Net project just to take that XML and merge it. There was no
real build task, so no failure was regestered.

If there was a test script in a NAnt/Ant build task, it would finish with a
nonzero exit code. So the task would be marked failed.

I should look for a better pickture for a future.

Best wishes,
Yury.

A quick Google shows that MySQL has an ODBC interface.  I've been
having good success with the odbc library included in the current Ruby
Windows installation: http://www.ch-werner.de/rubyodbc/odbc.html.  I
assume it's available in the *NIX distro as well.

In some ways, it's nicer than Perl's DBI.  It might lack some
features, but so far it's done everything I've needed, and with just a
little practice, it's really pretty intuitive as well.

Thanks Yury for the example (and thanks Mr. Verkhovsky for Reporter). 
I'll be using your example very soon.

Thanks Chris, using ODBC satisfies my needs, and I can use ruby-dbi on
top of ruby-odbc, so it's very nice.

Also, the sqlite &| sqlite3 modules are quite easy to install for windows.

Also, I've used Og ( part of the Nitro project ) since it has a pure-ruby
driver for Mysql and Mysql for windows ... also works well.

And, there is ALSO postgres-pr ( another pure ruby database interface
library ) for interacting with PostgreSQL databases.

WATiR doesn't clear out your cookies. There is contributed code to help with
that ... blasting the right cookies should cause a login each time.

Or, you could simply add a step to the beginning of your test to log you out
if you are already logged in ....

Either or.

I totally agree with converting the entire site into the wiki,
although that's sometimes harder than it sounds if there is funky
functionality or cool display.  I think the website looks very good as
it stands.

I'd also love to have a ruby solution, but nothing compares.  I've
jabbed Austin about ruwiki a couple of times, but there's no way
that's going anywhere for a very long time.

  Hi,
  I was able to input data into the readonly field using
ie.text_field(:name , 'date'').value = random_date
  "random_date" is a method  which I have used to input random date into the field. But when I submit the data and try to view it in the "View" screen, this date field is blank.
   
   However if  I give  input data as 
  ie.text_field(:name , 'date'').value = "12/11/2005" ( i.e. directly giving a string instead of taking it from "random_date" method) and then submit , this date will be saved and can be viewed in  the "View" screen.
   
  I also tried 
  date = random_date
  ie.text_field(:name , 'date'').value = date.to_s
  But still this date was not saved in the "View screen".
   
  Is it because I am getting the input dates from a method that it is not being saved?
   
  How do I handle this?

you should be able to use the value= method

using the textfields.html from the watir_bonus\unittests\html dir

ie.text_field(:name , 'readOnly').value='test'

seems to work

Hi,
I want to write a test case in which I am required to test a date field. This date field is a "readonly text field".

The input to this readonly text field is by means of a calendar( the user is supposed to select a date from the calendar which will be displayed in the text field).

I want to input data into the "Readonly text field" without selecting the date from the calendar. Is this possible in watir?
Is there a way to input data into the "Readonly text field" in watir?

I'm really at a loss... so, you are pushing data into the field, and it *IS*
going in ... then you submit the data ... then it doesn't show up ...

It sounds to me like some piece of validation in your save logic is throwing
the data away ... which has nothing to do with WATiR ... that's a problem
with the app.

If this works 

ie.text_field(:name , 'date'').value = "12/11/2005"

And this doesn't 

ie.text_field(:name , 'date'').value = date.to_s

then it is probably your apps validation of the date format that is the
problem.  

 

Ruby by default formats dates like this:  2005-11-30T07:33:01-0800 and
this has also given me fits at times.  Try doing something like this to
your randon_date function (provided that your random_date function is a
datetime object)

 

date = random_date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y)

 

Hope this helps,

Hi all....

Again, apologies for the OT, stop me if it's not amusing...

Suppose I have an array of arrays like

[[A, B, C][1,2,3]]

I can easily make a hash (using each.with_index) where one value is
the lookup value for the other value:

1=>A
2=>B
3=>C

Now suppose I have a AoA like

[[A, B, C,][1,2,2]]

Is there a readable way to construct a hash like

1=>A
2=>[B, C]

?

Thanks,
-Chris

assuming that you ALWAYS have only two arrays ...

def makeHash( pArray )
  output = {}

  pArray[1].each_with_index do |curr_key,curr_index|
    output[ curr_key ] ||= []
    output[ curr_key ] << pArray[0][ curr_index ]
  end

  output
end

puts makeHash( [ [ "a", "b", "c" ], [ 1, 2, 3 ] ] ).inspect
puts makeHash( [ [ "a", "b", "c" ], [ 1, 2, 2 ] ] ).inspect

... at least that's how I'd do it... and I'd always have the elements be
arrays, I'd rather be consistent.

If you want the other, you would simply change the last line of the makeHash
function from :

output

to...

require 'rubygems'
require 'nano/hash'
output.traverse { |key,value| [ key, value.length == 1 ? value[0] : value ]
}

...
done. ... and yes, if it says can't find nano/hash ...

do:
gem install facets
...from the command line
...documentation is @ http://facets.rubyforge.org

Hi Chris,

> the lookup value for the other value:

I'd consider zip for this:

a = [['a', 'b', 'c'], [1,2,3]]
h = Hash.new

a[1].zip(a[0]) {|key, value| h[key] = value}

p h    # {1=>"a", 2=>"b", 3=>"c"}

> Now suppose I have a AoA like

> Is there a readable way...

I don't know that it's particularly readable, but:

a = [['a', 'b', 'c'], [1,2,2]]
h = Hash.new

a[1].zip(a[0]) do |key, value|
  case h[key]
  when NilClass
    h[key] = value
  when Array
    h[key] << value
  else
    h[key] = [h[key], value]
  end
end

p h    #  {1=>"a", 2=>["b", "c"]}

If you allow  1=>["a"] it gets a lot easier:

a = [['a', 'b', 'c'], [1,2,2]]
h = Hash.new {|hash, key| hash[key] = []}

a[1].zip(a[0]) {|key, value| h[key] << value}

p h   # {1=>["a"], 2=>["b", "c"]}
