RTFM about regular expressions - they are your best friend for tasks 
like this.

irb:001:0> s = "http://soft-bogomazov:88/admin/menus/add_item/?menu_id=14"
=> "http://soft-bogomazov:88/admin/menus/add_item/?menu_id=14"
irb:002:0> i = s.gsub(/^http:.*\?menu_id=(\d+)$/, '\1')
=> "14"

I hope I'm speaking for others on this list, but jumping on somebody with an
RTFM answer is extremely inappropriate.
 You can simply suggest they pick up either a copy of Ruby in a Nutshell (
by Matz ) ... or Programming Ruby 2nd Ed ( by Dave Thomas ).
 It is completely agreed that there are many ways the OPer could have found
the information, but they came here for help, not to get cussed at.
 It'd be a real turn off to me if I were still green @ this if people
responded to my questions like that.
 Anyways, like I said, I *hope* I was responding appropriately in this. If
not, somebody will bite me for overstepping.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Accessing Frames that show --Access Denied-
Message-ID: <000601c5c69c$f934ebc0$0200a8c0@Study4700>

Hi,

I am using WATIR to test a web application and have hit some problems. I
have reproduced the issue with an external website. My questions are:

1. Can I safely ignore the "frame error in waitdocument"  (it was been the
topic of previous threads) [I get this error on both my internal website
that I am testing as well as this external website]. 

2. How do I access frames (show_objects, click link etc) that return
"--Access Denied-". 

*      I am able to see the HTML on the screen (by right button view source)

*      "ie.show_frames " shows one of the frames as ""--Access Denied-". 

*      The second frame does not seem to appear in a "show_all_objects"

*      Attempting to access the second frame via index results in an error
`method_missing': document (WIN32OLERuntimeError)

*      I have verified that the same commands work for Frame 1 (which does
not report access denied) 

 

Code and run output are below

 

My code ftest.rb

============================================

require 'thread'

require 'watir'

require 'test/unit'

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

$ie.goto(testsite)

 

puts "Display the frames"

$ie.show_frames

 

puts "Display all objetcs"

$ie.show_all_objects

 

puts "Now get at the objects in frame 2"

$ie.frame(:index, 2).links.show

Sorry, the RTFM abbreviation wasn't meant to be anything like you 
imagine. Just a suggestion where to look for a generic solution to this 
class of problems.
The quote from IRB session quote was a specific solution to the question 
posed.

The 'F' in RTFM has ALWAYS had  derogatory meaning since the inception
of the acronym.

http://www.pmms.cam.ac.uk/~gjm11/jargon/jargR.html#rtfm

And, yes, I saw that you had included irb lines within your post, but,
people come here for help... They want solutions spelled out, because
( hopefully ) they've already done all of the research they could, and
just didn't understand, or couldn't find the right docs in the first
place...

If you had simply changed your town from RTFM!!!! to "there are a
number of good online references for regular expressions like : (
enumerate urls ) ... as well as the wonderful O'Reilly book "Mastering
Regular Expressions" ... Here's a solution, and it does look a bit
like line-noise, so if you'd like to understand it better, any of
these resources should help."

Much calmer, much nicer, and an easier way to grow the community.

Anyways, ciao for now.

Did you try samples which comes with one click installer, in mymachine they are in the folder.C:\ruby\samples\log4r-1.0.5\examplesC:\ruby\samples\log4r-1.0.5\examples\logs

As I know log4r is already installed with one click installer, you donot need to download it from sourceforge. Try these examples. Theywork. But you have to create directory there.After that examples writesimple.log etc files to them, or console output.

Hi Max,

I have played with something similar to this in the past.  I found that, 
when linked up to IE, the whole process that your script is running in 
will become blocked when a Javascript pop-up appears.  This seems to 
affect all threads that are part of that process.

One possible solution would be to spawn a separate process to run 
myclicker.rb.  There may well be a better solution (and I would enjoy 
seeing it too!).

Hi...

I want to generate some random text for test purposes.  "rand" doesn't
seem to DWIM.  Say, to pick an arbitrary letter from the uppercase
range A to Z.

[A-Z].rand
[A..Z].rand

seems right, but isn't.

Use a function like:

def random_text( length )
output = ""
length.times do
output << ('A'..'Z').to_a[ rand(26) ]
end
output
end

then, where ever you need it : just call it

random_text( 42 ) # for 42 chars of random text ...

Subject: [Wtr-general] Problems with XPath extension
Message-ID: <3b4e13d10510040849h2e01904aj7259595a06b76d06@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I extended Watir Ver. 1.4.1 with the Xpath extension. However I'm having
problems with the Xpath extension. It has problems identifying nodes using
the text they contain. For example a node with:

<DIV>some text</DIV>
Xpath will have trouble finding the DIV tag using the text it contains. If I
put the following code in (:xpath, "//div['some totally different text']")

It would find the above node. See the example below:

<div id="div2">
<DIV id=spanner>bbb</DIV>
<table id="div2-1">
<input id="div2-2" type=submit value="Hope this works" name=btnWork/>
</table>
<table id="tab2-2"><tr><td id="table col">yyy</td></tr></table>
</div>

If I use this Xpath (:xpath, "//div[@id='div2']/*/.='blah blah'") it'll fine
the node <DIV id=spanner>bbb</DIV>. It finds the first element without
looking at the end of the XPath statement.

You cant search for an node based on the text it contains! Will Watir Ver.
1.5 contain the same Xpath version that's now available in Head in CVS or is
to plan to modify. Should I wait to see if the new version will fix this
problem or go the awkward route of trying to change the way the tag elements
are generated? Has anybody else come across the same problems?

Thanks a million
P?draig

Ok ... I'm trying to figure out what specifically you NEED/WANT this for ???

 What is the point of going after the DIV tag if you already know the text
inside it ?
 ... Just my question ... I'm trying to see practical use. I can see use for
finding a tag based on id's &| attributes, sorry, guess I'm a little dense.

Hi Max,

I have played with something similar to this in the past. I found that, 
when linked up to IE, the whole process that your script is running in 
will become blocked when a Javascript pop-up appears. This seems to 
affect all threads that are part of that process.

One possible solution would be to spawn a separate process to run 
myclicker.rb. There may well be a better solution (and I would enjoy 
seeing it too!).

Summary: Need file access by URL instead of actual path

Initial Comment:
Is there a way to access files using the URL, instead of the actual OS path?  I want to muck with my web app's config settings in my watir scripts, in order to manipulate the app for testing.  The actual file path for the config files will vary depending on the location from which the scripts are run.  But the URL path is always constant.  If I could access files using //localhost/myApp/config/config.xml, I would be in business.  But this fails in ruby/watir.  They don't seem to understand a path like that.

Wow, do it the hard way... don't worry about permutations.

How about:

def allowed_chars( char_classes = "ul" )
output = []
char_classes.split( // ).each do |curr|
case curr
when "u"
output += ( 'A'..'Z' ).to_a
when "l"
output += ( 'a'..'z' ).to_a
when "d"
output += ( '0'..'9' ).to_a
else
raise ArgumentError, "Invalid value passed to allowed_chars: #{ curr }"
end
end
output
end

... the rest should be fine ;)

You should use the file:// handler ... should work.

ie.goto( "file://c:/myApp/config/config.xml" )

... anything you can do with IE can be done...

If you are looking for the URL to the local file:

Click "File" -> "Open"

Navigate to the file and click Open

Copy the URL in the IE address bar.

Use that in your GoTo ... should be all you need.

This isn't meant as an RTM email, but most people will find pretty much
every thinkable scenario for using WATiR has test cases in the Unit tests.

If you simply navigate to where you have WATiR installed, there is a
unittests directory that contains examples of calling javascript that pops
input dialogs and automatically closing them with an Ok or Cancel
response...

I find that whenever I am stuck, those testcases show me the way...

Hope that helps... Specifically look at the javascript_*.rb unit tests...
They cover exactly this question.

This would be great stuff to post to our Wiki, and FAQ.

How 'bout a Wiki page on the topic?

I've updated the Watir website and User's Guide.
   http://wtr.rubyforge.org

- New search box allows searches of online Watir Documentation and Mail 
Archives.
- Published URL to secondary archive on mail list information page (thanks 
to whoever set this up).
     http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
- Updated install instructions.
- Fixed minor coding mistakes in Users Guide.
- Removed confusing information about asserts from Users Guide.
- Published rdoc for 1.4.1.
     http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/index.html
- Added testimonials.
- Page now resizes to fit smaller screens.
- Several cosmetic tweaks and minor edits.

Lemme know if anything is busted.

Looks like a funky link on the page maybe? "Web Applications" looks like a link but goes no where.

I also need that, as far as I know, it is not supported.
They say all modal dialogs will be supported in 1.5

Sankar,
 Why not put all of the pages on ONE site? Either a private site that only

SSL. If there are no links to them outside of your testing, I don't see much
of an issue.
 Anyways, that would be the only work around I can think of.

Testimonials page is full of WikiWords (WaTIR, QuickTest,
RubyWebDialogs, etc.) That read as if they are questions.  Suggest you
either build link pages for the WikiWords or else escape them.

This stuff can be handled using AutoIt, which is bundled with Watir.
There's a thread here from a couple of weeks back with an example:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general%40rubyforge.org/msg01262.html

Cheers,
Dave

Yes. An error message was removed from waitdocument in Watir 1.4.1. If you 
still see an error message, then it is something else from what we discussed.

One workaround is to get the URL for the access-denied frame (which you 
should be able to get). And then open an IE browser that directly hosts 
that URL. This workaround may or may not be acceptable depending on your 
application.

The only other workaround is to have your developers set up the pages 
hosted by separate subdomains to reference a common domain. This approach 
wouldn't apply to the specific example in your script 
(http://computer.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=web-page.htm&url=http://www.aquarium.ucsd.edu), 
but it is applicable to many of the common situations that run into the 
access-denied problem. For more details, see 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/same-origin.html

I agree they look odd. How do you escape them?

Depends on your wiki implementation.  Somewhere you have to have a
local guide to markup syntax that should tell how to do that.

Message-ID: <200510051714.j95HErmh006567@rubyforge.org>

Summary: Accessing files using the URL instead of path.

Initial Comment:
For some reason I can't "see" a file using the URL.  In the script below, I use File.exist? to check the file exists.  The first part of the example works, the Path part.  The second part, the URL part, fails...  Is there some other method for finding files in the file system using the URL?

My purpose for this is to muck with config settings in my watir scripts, in order to manipulate my web app for testing.  The actual file path for the config files will vary depending on the location from which the scripts are run.  But the URL path is always constant.  If I could access files using //localhost/myApp/config/config.xml, I would be in business.  

Thanks!

Subject: [Wtr-general] get date, increment date functionality
Message-ID: <43446EF0.30701@squalor.com>

Hello All--

I'm trying to fill a form which has a series of default date values (  
call it-- get_next_monday x 4 ) which is used to populate the option 
items in a select list. For this value I can use something like
  $ie.select_list(:name, 'onAirDate').select_value(/1/).

But  I need to also select a deleteDate which must be at least 1 day and 
as many as 14 days from my "onAirDate" selection.  I found  (Date.today) 
which returns the date in a yyyy-mm-dd, but i can't seem to locate any 
methods which will allow me to format the date ( i need dd-mm-yyy) or to 
increment the date.

Thanks-

Beth

Haven't tried with year as "yyy" though. Did you mean "yyyy"? That is %Y
(year with century). The two digit (year with no century) is %y.

This page should help: http://phrogz.net/ProgrammingRuby/ref_c_time.html
Look up "strftime" for formatting.

There is some support for some modal dialogs in 1.4.

It is often awkward, and will be improved in 1.5. There are also some types 
of dialogs (not those mentioned by the OP) that can't be accessed using 1.4.

You can.

I showed how you can deal with Open/Save dialogs in this post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general at rubyforge.org/msg01262.html

Earlier, I posted a more complete and easy-to-use solution for dealing with 
Javascript dialogs (confirms and alerts):
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-August/003352.html

A note when doing this stuff: modal dialogs are tricky partly because the Ruby 
thread will block, and partly because bits of Watir (Watir::Simple is the only 
bit I've had trouble with) specifically wait until IE is in Ready mode. You 
might need to override a method like Watir::Simple's wait_for_ie to not wait.

Also, different IE versions may assign different titles and text in dialogs, 
making some of this AutoIt code non-portable, although that hasn't been a 
problem for me so far.

Cheers,
Dave

Message-ID: <72799cd70510061003v2a57dee0u7954adf27bc0d3f@mail.gmail.com>

Hi...

When you use any of the test/unit methods, like "assert_equal", you
always get a nice output message like

1 tests, 2 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

or

<"CLARICE"> expected but was
<"JOHN">.
1 tests, 1 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors

How can I manipulate that output message?  It's not in $_ or $!, and I
can't seem to assign it to a variable.  None of these work; the puts'
are always "nil":

a = assert_equal(x,y)
puts a

assert_equal(x,y)
puts $_

assert_equal(x,y)
puts $!

Any suggestions welcome...
-Chris

It really depends on what you are trying to do.

If you want to change the error message that appears when a test fail, use
   assert(equal(x, y), "dude, they don't match!")

If you want to change the test or failure or assertion counts, it gets more 
complicated and you'll have to be more specific. The test/unit module is 
object-oriented and does not really use global variables. If you want to 
modify it, you typically will need to create your own assertions or 
subclass TestCase or create your own TestRunner.

Yah, I knew this.

What I really want to do is grab STDOUT (or whatever) generated from
assert_equal, stick it in a variable, and use Watir to write the
contents of that variable to a "test results" page on the WEA wiki.

Good afternoon:

I have come to the point in my scripting where I need to start handling
Popups.  I have gone through numerous threads and I am not clear as to what
is the most efficient path forward.  Here is a brief summary of my
observations:

Winclicker appears to be obsolete.

AutoIt will be phased out in WATIR 1.5.  It should work in 1.4, but I am
not having any successes.  Are there any  tips and tricks to getting this
functional?

WET appears to get the job done based on e-mail threads, but I am uncertain
as to where to get this add-on and how to configure it on my machine.
Where do I find this add-on?

What is the path going forward for handling Popups?
Can I get on that path today?

I certainly appreciate the GREAT work everyone is doing.  I would
appreciate a nudge in the correct direction.

Take care,

Take a look at unittests/iostring.rb and the tests that use it. I created 
this so that i could test the "show" methods to make sure they were 
printing the right thing to stdout. They redirect STDOUT to a string-like 
object that i could query against. This instruments at the test case level, 
but you want to instrument at the suite level. So you'll have more work to 
do, but this should get you headed in the right direction.

Since the normal use of test/unit depends on it to create a default test 
runner in an END block, you'll want to add code that, first redirects (or 
tees) stdout, and then creates another END block to write out this 
string-thing to the wiki. That END block will have to be defined before 
test/unit is loaded, so that it will run after it.

Hi,
  How to get background color source for a table cell?
I want to write a test case that verifies the color of the table cell as the color of the cell
 varies with cell data.
 
 
HTML for the tablecell is as below:
 
<td align="center" bgcolor="#FF0000" style="width:60px; border:#000000 1pt solid" title= "TITLE"><font color="#FFFFFF">Critical</font><br>8</a></td>

Although I don't have the time to work the example tonight, the new xpath &
integration with REXML should make that easy to get.

Thanks for the kind words.  I think Perl's Win32:GuiTest
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/winguitest/) is worth examining. 
It's a lively project, with some interesting recent innovation.  Wayne
Vucenic got a good start on translating it to Ruby:
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/guitest/).

However it's done, it demands one thread/layer to deal with IE, and
another thread/layer to deal with the popups.  Watir can't be beat for
mucking around with IE-- but in my mind, the jury is still out as to
the best way to deal with popups.

Subject: [Wtr-general]  Selecting a row in an Infragistics Ultragrid
Message-ID: <BAY102-F87B03CA3F5EFFC36564B2D5790@phx.gbl>

You're right, Infragistics controls seem to create a ton of HTML.  I've 
copied the HTML that creates the table and one row below.

Thanks for taking a look at this!

Mark

I do not understand what you need fully. But could you learn which
name your developer has given to this asp.net control. Asp.Net and
infragistic controls creates their names according to this name. Since
html enforces that every ID must be unique in a html page. In a grid.
When you give id to datagrid or infragistic ultragrid

<asp:gridview runat=server id=resultGrid> </asp:gridview>


resulting html have a consistent naming which depends on above ID

i.e one of your cells has name

<td id='ResultsGrid1xUltraWebGrid1rc_0_0'
class='ResultsGrid1xUltraWebGrid1-ic'>Beh - Question 2</td>

ResultsGrid1xUltraWebGrid1rc_0_0 this name comes from
I think id=ResulstsGrid from normal Asp.Net control,

xUltraWebGrid1rc_0_0 means 0 row 0 cell.

If what I think is true, you should be able to find your cell or row,
from starting this ID' name ResultsGrid then adding other string.
UltraGrid should always add same strings to this ID. Try it and see. 
This should be true since datagrid and gridview controls behave in
same way. I think there is a interface in .NET a control developer
must implement and enforce that every control has unique ID,
System.Web.UI.INamingContainer


In short, if you understand how this control creates its child
controls' names. You should be able to easily reach its contents.

I need to find a particular dynamic string of text on a page.  i am able 
to confirm that the text exists with host.contains_text("some text") but 
need to find a randomly generated numeric string after "some text".  so 
the field is <span class ="random message"> some text 1234 </span>.  I 
need to get the 1234. . 

Thanks--

Subject: [Wtr-general] FlyTreeView control - help!
Message-ID: <71D28C8451BFD5119B2B00508BE26E6409E11BE1@pasmail3.office.tmcs>

I am testing an ASP.NET app that uses a FlyTreeView control
(http://www.9rays.net/cgi-bin/components.cgi?act=1&cid=20).

The HTML includes elements in node tags, which are links to reports in the
AUT:

<NODE Key=&quot;1&quot; Text=&quot;Summary Reports&quot;
ToolTip=&quot;Summary Reports&quot; IsChecked=&quot;False&quot;
Disabled=&quot;False&quot; DefaultStyle=&quot;padding: 3px 5px 3px 5px;
FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 11px;&quot;
CanBeSelected=&quot;False&quot;><NODE Key=&quot;5&quot; Text=&quot;Basic
Summary&quot; ToolTip=&quot;Basic Summary&quot; IsChecked=&quot;False&quot;
Disabled=&quot;False&quot; />

I checked a link using SpySmith and it shows as text enclosed in a table
cell tag <TD>:

Active Element: [TD], Index: [182] 
 <TD title="Basic Summary" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px;
FONT-SIZE: 11px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px; CURSOR: hand; PADDING-TOP: 3px;
FONT-FAMI 
 LY: Tahoma; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" noWrap width="100%">Basic
Summary</TD>

I tried to get at the link using Watir, but the cell text shows as one long
string for all links:

irb(main):044:0> ie.table(:id, 'StandardReportsTable')[1][1].text
=> "Standard Reports\r\nSummary Reports\r\nLoading...\r\n\r\n\r\nBasic

I am stumped. I can't seem to 'click' a link using Watir.

Does anyone have any advice? Is this even possible using Watir?

Thanks.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Checking visibility of textbox
Message-ID: <20051010205047.74774.qmail@web30801.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi all,
i have a textbox and a checkbox on the page.
When the user checks the text box the Textbox becomes
invisible to the user.
i have to verify that once the user has checked the
checkbox..the text box is invisible.
#selecting the checkbox
ie.checkbox(:id,"cb1").set
#Now the userdoes not see the textbox
i am trying to check the visibilty as:
(a)
assert(ie.text_field(:id,"tb1").style=\"Display:none;")
(b)
assert_false(ie.text_field(:id,"tb1").visible?)
Does anybody know of any visible Method ?
The enable test is of no use because i am not
disabeling the text box at anyy time.
Thanks
AM

Message-ID: <BAY102-F122146330988C7B6F976D6D5790@phx.gbl>

The id value for this table is G_ResultsGrid1xUltraWebGrid1.

When a user clicks on a row in this table, the row is selected.  Basically, 
an arrowhead is displayed in the left margin.  When the user then clicks on 
the edit button, the selected record is displayed in an edit form.

When I try the same thing through a Watir Script, I can see the row get 
clicked, but the row is never selected.  On certain other controls, I had to 
use the mouse down and mouse up events.  That trick isn't working for the 
table.

Thanks!

There may be other alternatives, but you should be able to use the eval 
statement to make this happen.

For example,

eval("host.contains_text(" + "1234"+")")

  I tried getHTML for table cell(Table cell is dynamic)
ie.frame(:index,1).table(:index,table_index)[2][2].getHTML
But I am getting the following error message:
  "undefined method `getHTML' for #<Watir::TableCell:0x2db9cc8> (NoMethodError)"

The above snippet does not work if theText is gotten via the

However the snippet does work if I hand it the string (?Event# 1234?). 
Is there a ToString() method or something like that , that I can use to 
make theText into a flat string rather than a method referent.

contains_text does NOT return the text

It returns the index into the text on the page where the text occurs.

You should use something like:

# get the complete text of the current page
page_text = $ie.text

# run it through a regular expression and capture the match and it's subgroups
match = /Event\# (\d+)/.match( page_text )

# if we got a result
if match != nil
  # parse those two pieces ... the match
  complete_match = match[0]
  # and the subgroup
  digits = match[1]
else
  # no match found
end

I'll get back to you as soon as I write up some example code based on
what's currently in the CVS version of WATiR.

Hi,
in the watir_bonus\unitTest\table_test.rb they have
highlighted the colors of the cells/rows.
If you have not seen that example ..check to see if it
helps

Good morning:

Apparently I am just not getting it.  I have tried for several days now to
get WATIR to handle a modal without success.  I also have a Popup utility
that I cannot get WATIR to recognize.

Any tips, code snippets, questions, divine guidance, and lecturing would be
most appreciated.  Unfortunately I can not share the application specific
HTML nor provide access to this application, so not much help there.

I can send screen shots if that would be helpful.  Attached is a script to
press a modal on the Google site.  Perhaps this could serve as guidance to
the proper code syntax I could use.

All of the unit tests seem to run fine on my machine, Win XP SP2.

Is there a tutorial on how to handle Popups and modals in WATIR?

Is there someone in Austin Texas I could buy a beer or coffee to help me
get over these hurdles? [Brett would cost way more than a beer or a cup of
coffee! ;O)  ]

Thanks,

Carl

I installed WET, but I am not able to execute any of the WET test scripts.
I am guessing that it is a path or installation issue, but I am struggling
to resolve it.

Subject: [Wtr-general]  string split after ie.contains_text
Message-ID: <434C2D62.3010404@squalor.com>

  Actually-- what i did was:

   theText= $~ = host.contains_text(/Event\# 
([0-9]+)([0-9]+)([0-9]+)([0-9])/)
    a = theText.to_s
    b = a.split(/\d/)
    b.push(a.sub(b[0],""))
    host.link(:text, "[Logout]").click
    return b[1]

Returning the 2 item of the split as i know that's what I'll always want 
in this instance

Thanks for the help-

Beth

I think this does what you want somewhat more simply:

   host.contains_text /Event\#([0-9]+)/
   return $1

Note that host.contains_text is just a fancy wrapper around a match. This 
might be easier to understand:

   host.text =~ /Event\#([0-9]+)/
   return $1

In fact, i'm thinking of deprecating contains_text in favor of this, 
because this just pushes you that much faster into learning Ruby regexps, 
which is a good thing.

Yeah, but if you are going to learn ruby & regexps, do it the ruby way
... don't use those UGLY perl $1 $2 match items... go OOP on it ...

 return /Event\#([0-9]+)/.match( host.text )[1]

Message-ID: <20051012205435.99535.qmail@web52901.mail.yahoo.com>

I have a test suite class something like:
class TS_crud_testsuite < Test::Unit::TestCase
 def test_login
  puts "Action 1: ..."
  #. ..
 end
 def test_goto_moduleA
  puts "Action 2: ..."
  #..

 def test_add_item_toModuleA
  puts "Action 3: ..."
  #..
 end
  .
  .
end 

but when the script get executed. In the console it prints 
Action 3 first. 
Is there a way to reverse the order it get display in the
console?

Annoying isn't it? 8-P

What I had to do was number my test so:

 def test01_login
  puts "Action 1: ..."
  #. ..
 end
 def test02_goto_moduleA
  puts "Action 2: ..."
  #..
 end
 def test03_add_item_toModuleA
  puts "Action 3: ..."
  #..
 end

There may be a better way of doing it but it worked so why argue with
success!

Hope this helps,

Thanks Mark

Yeah I realized that the def(s) are not executed from top
to bottom but in ascending order based on the def name.
Yeah prefix by a number works which I'm going to use for
now but if anyone has a better idea - pls share :-)

Hi Carl...
    I really, really feel your pain, and I am just not in a position
right now to take a crack at your question.
    I can't give you divine guidance (and I don't live in Austin) but
here's a clue:  threads.  And fork()
    One way or another, you have to handle popups in a different
process than the one that is controlling your IE.
      If you don't have an answer by next week, I'll be back, but in
the meantime, think about forking and threads, and maybe ask one more
time.

Have you tried the sample 'install test script'  that is shipped with WET?

The problem above appears to be an installation issue. For some reason 
your script is
unable to load the runit library. Are you able to use other r-unit 
scripts ? If so, is there
something do you have to change the requires path for the unit tests. I 
noticed that
in your sample script, the requires line states:
require '/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit'

however, typically it should be enough to say
require 'test/unit'

Could you try to change the requires line in the 'TestPopups.rb' file 
and see if it helps?

Hi folks,

	I've just started using Ruby and am mightily impressed.
Two quick questions:-

1) is there a recorder available that records the conversation between an IE
browser and server
	and can subsequently generate a watir script that represents that
conversation for replay

2) I've scoured the API but I can't figure out if there's a method available
to scroll the page down.
	I've used the maximize method but but some of our buttons are not
displayed
	on the page when maximised and the user has to	scroll down to see
them. (Generated reports pages)
Is there a scroll method available? 

Wonderful piece of software.  Thanks again.

Thanks,
Mark.

No, there isn't a recorder. There has been talk of another group writing another
library for recording. For what you describe, Watir works against the browser,
and doesn't capture the HTTP stream.

I haven't found anything in the DOM for controlling the scroll bar. However,
there is a method in the IE DOM called scrollIntoView. I haven't looked at the
Watir source code lately, so I'm not sure if this is working for all controls. I
added it a long time ago in a precursor to Watir for the same reason you
express. It should be there for Watir unless it has been taken out. If it isn't
working for you, please let us know what controls you are trying to reach aren't
scrolling into view.

Hi Jonathan,

	Thanks a million for getting back to me so quickly.

I've tried the scrollIntoView method by calling it on my
global $ie object as so
$ie.scrollIntoView
and also by calling it on the button I want to scroll into view

$detailsFrame.button(:name, /nextAction/).scrollIntoView

but to now avail. I get the following errors. Would this means its
been deprecated?


irb(main):015:0> $ie.scrollIntoView
NoMethodError: undefined method `scrollIntoView' for #<Watir::IE:0x2cf6ac8>
        from (irb):15
irb(main):016:0> $detailsFrame.button(:name, /nextAction/).scrollIntoView
NoMethodError: undefined method `scrollIntoView' for
#<Watir::Button:0x2c9ccf0>
        from (irb):16

Could I be so bold as to ask another question? Its regarding the IRB? 
I've been through the manual and it says that to run a script using the irb
you simply pass the script file as an argument to the irb process, however,
the process then quits and finishes once it's completed the script. 
I was hoping it would run the script to the scripts completion and then
allow me
to take over once the script was finished? My script is a TestCase, could
this be the reason? 

Thanks again,
Mark.

It's not a Watir method, it's part of the Internet Explorer API, and it is used
by Watir methods we call. It might not be working for buttons, so we should look
at that. If it isn't scrolling into view automatically when you click a button,
there is an issue with the Watir code.

I'm afraid I don't completely understand the question. What manual are you
using? The Watir User Guide has a small section on IRB, but there is a lot of
info in Ruby manuals, and probably in Bret's Scripting 101 where you could be
getting this from. 

Are you running IRB from the command line, and wondering why the console closes
when the script is finished? I tend to run saved scripts from the command line,
and use IRB for interactive work with Ruby, or using the Watir library. If it
helps, this article shows how to drive IE using IRB:
http://www.kohl.ca/articles/watir_works.pdf 

Sometimes I write a script that takes me to a certain location of the web
application, and then I take over by hand. If Internet Explorer is closing, I
would make sure there isn't an "ie.close" method in the script. I generally run
all my scripts from the command line by typing in the name of the script and
hitting enter.

Hope that helps.

Hi folks, 

I've found a weird error using WET and I'm afraid this may be a WET bug (I hope it's just my fault with code ;-) )

I'm trying to set either a text field and a checkbox that is found in a second level frame as following:

Browser("url:=http://server/app/principal.jsp").Frame("name:=frame1").Frame("name:=frame2").TextField("name:=testfield").set "Testing"

The focus move to the text field but it seems to fail when trying to write. This is what I get:

undefined method `document' for nil:NilClass => Error

This is really driving me crazy so I'll appreciate any kind of help with this issue and hope this help to more people. 

Thanks in advance

This is along the lines of what I'm looking for but it's the IRB that
exits and not Internet Explorer that closes. I was hoping to be able to
enter
further ruby commands at the command line after the script had finished. 
Do you think this is possible? 

Thanks for your help,
Mark

Ah, I understand now. It should be possible, but I haven't tried something like
that in a while. I'll have to test it out to give you any decent info.  In the
meantime, hopefully another person on the list will have a better answer more
quickly than me.

I have a list of assets on a list page, basically one asset

be visible at the beginning of that row. It's not like a
button where I can look for the attribute name. I can
search for the asset name but how do I instruct the script
to click the trash can next to that asset name?
below is the property of that image.
<IMG onclick=rusure(84) alt="Delete Asset"

One of the easiest ways to do this would be to have an ID inserted into
those image tags ... something like id='delete_84' ...

... That makes it much easier to find the specific delete button you are
looking for.

WATiR treats clickable images as buttons ... so doing ie.button( :id,
"delete_84" ).click will cause the javascript to be fired.

Hope that helps ... otherwise you've got a bit more work, but it's still
doable.

Let us know if you need more help.

Hi roy,
I hope that is a table in which you are having your
asset and delete icon.
Case 1 : 
if each trash can has an unique alt attribute use
that.
ie.button(:alt,"asd").click
Note :it is a image button.
Case 2:
access the table by id,reach the row by index and do
the click.
table = ie.table(:id,"asd")
rowcount = table.row_count
ie.table[rowcount][1].link(:id,"fdf").click.

hope this helps
Amol

Message-ID: <20051014090515.47867.qmail@web8302.mail.in.yahoo.com>

Hi,
I am writing a test case in which I am required to access the text contents from an alert window or confirm that the alert window has appeared.  
 
I am calling the method "text" to obtain the text contents after the "Alert window " has appeared . The method "text" is defined as below.......
 
def text(wait_seconds = 1)
            # sleep 0.3
            autoit.WinWait(WINDOW_TITLE, nil, wait_seconds) if wait_seconds
            s = autoit.WinGetText(WINDOW_TITLE)
            puts s
 end
"s" is printed as  "nil"  and sometimes  "1"  though the alert window has a  string with length more than 10 characters
Please help......
 
Thanks 
Chaya

Message-ID: <20051014132546.C94A9814246@mail.tamergotchya.de>

Hi all,

Im trying to verify if the correct table is displayed, depending on a
selection from a dropdown list.

All tables (for all categories in the dropdown list) are already present
in the HTML with the attributes :

<table id="someuniqueid" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" border="0"
style="{display:none}">

Depending on the selection I make, the attribute style changes to
display: .

function show(id, show) {
        var el = getElementById(id);
        if (null != el) {
                el.style.display = show ? "" : "none";
        }
}

The problem is that this change is not shown in the DOM.

This means that  my test case will never fail (if I verify if the
correct table is present on the page depending on my dropdown list
selection)

How can I verify that the correct table is displayed?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ulrike,

	I'm pretty new to Ruby and Watir to be honest so I may not
be off much help but I was wondering about this aswell recently when
trying to access ie's scrollIntoView method. I was hoping there
was some way of calling an method on the IE object in the browser using
WATIR as opposed to calling a WATIR wrapped method. Hope this makes sense.

I guess in the example below the el in el.style.display is the table?
Does anyone know if there's anyway to get further information about
the table object through WATIR? Is there a method that you can test
the attributes of objects in the IE DOM object directly?
something along the lines of 

WATIR::IE.show_attribute(tableToCheck, attributeToCheck)

so
tbl = $ie.table(:id, /someuniqueid/)

tblDisplayed =$ie.show_attribute(tbl,"style.display")

Thanks,
Mark.

This will work as long as this statement:
	tbl = $ie.table(:id, /someuniqueid/)

is after any dynamically changed items on the page.

Hi Ulrike,

	I'm pretty new to Ruby and Watir to be honest so I may not be
off much help but I was wondering about this aswell recently when trying
to access ie's scrollIntoView method. I was hoping there was some way of
calling an method on the IE object in the browser using WATIR as opposed
to calling a WATIR wrapped method. Hope this makes sense.

I guess in the example below the el in el.style.display is the table?
Does anyone know if there's anyway to get further information about the
table object through WATIR? Is there a method that you can test the
attributes of objects in the IE DOM object directly?
something along the lines of 

WATIR::IE.show_attribute(tableToCheck, attributeToCheck)

so
tbl = $ie.table(:id, /someuniqueid/)

tblDisplayed =$ie.show_attribute(tbl,"style.display")

Thanks,
Mark.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Table style attribute changes


Hi all,

Im trying to verify if the correct table is displayed, depending on a
selection from a dropdown list.

All tables (for all categories in the dropdown list) are already present
in the HTML with the attributes :

<table id="someuniqueid" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" border="0"
style="{display:none}">

Depending on the selection I make, the attribute style changes to
display: .

function show(id, show) {
        var el = getElementById(id);
        if (null != el) {
                el.style.display = show ? "" : "none";
        }
}

The problem is that this change is not shown in the DOM.

This means that  my test case will never fail (if I verify if the
correct table is present on the page depending on my dropdown list
selection)

How can I verify that the correct table is displayed?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Ulrike

Subject: [Wtr-general] how to delete an item by clicking a trashcan

In-Reply-To: <20051014015346.50632.qmail@web30807.mail.mud.yahoo.com>
Message-ID: <20051014175251.62928.qmail@web52914.mail.yahoo.com>

Thanks for the suggestions but unfortunately the trash can
doesn't have a unique alt attribute it's just "Delete
Asset". 
There is a unique id though which it gets from the asset
that has been created. For instance when i mouse over the
asset link i will have something like
http://IP/assets/sub_viewasset.php?d=283&t=asset. 
the trash can next to the asset knows which asset to delete
by passing that id to a javascipt as 
<IMG onclick=rusure(283) alt="Delete Asset"
src="/mypath/images/del.gif" border=0></TD>

If I can pick that id from the asset that would solve what
I'm trying to do. 

thanks
Roy.

The xpath that you are using is wrong. So it will depend upon REXML
implementation what results it will give. For the above case the xpath query
should be:
//div[@id='div2']/*/[.,'blah blah']
when ever you want to compare some attribute in xpath query, you need to
give the condition inside square bracket. The above xpath query will give
you the no element because there is no child element of 'div2' whose text is
'blah blah'.

You can use this tool for testing the xpath:
http://www.topxml.com/downloads/default.asp?id=visualiser

But first you have to convert you HTML file to XHTML file using Tidy..

Also you can use the following code to test you xpath:

require "rexml/document"
include REXML

doc = REXML::Document.new( %q{<div id="div2">
 <div id="spanner">
 bbb
 </div><input id="div2-2" type="submit" value="Hope this works"name="btnWork" />
 <table id="div2-1"></table>
 <table id="tab2-2">
 <tbody>
 <tr>
 <td id="table col">yyy</td>
 </tr>
 </tbody>
 </table>
 </div>})

doc.root.elements.each("//div[@id='div2']/*/[.='blah blah']") { |element|
puts element.expanded_name }

If you xpath query is correct then this code will print the tag of the
element that you are selecting.

Angrez

Message-ID: <158e6acb0510161011y4cb3435wc8085dca8b76562e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all, sorry - ruby newbie here...

For text fields or hidden fields, we can change the value either by
using 'set' or 'value='. I also manage to add the method 'value=' to
Button class, so that I can change the Button value before submitting.

My question is, can I change the select list options/items too? E.g. I
have a drop down list of 4 items in the web page. Instead of using
ie.select_list(:name, "...").select("sss"), can I add a 5th item to
the list and select that instead?

My objective is to be able to modify the elements in the web page
before sending back to the server. Thx everyone..

Rgds
Jon

One thing you can try is ie.attach. Once the script has finished running,
you can open IRB and attach to the window using title or url.

Hi,
  How to check if a particular row exists in a table?

There are more than one table in the screen to use
 $ie.row(:id, 'row1').exists?.
 Also there are tables within a table and also tables are dynamic.
When I try  table[x][y].exists? I get an error which says:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2606:in `[]': Unable to locate a cell at index 1 (Watir::Exception::UnknownCellException).
 
How do I test this?
 
Thanks,
Amitha

Subject: [Wtr-general] OO and test/unit
Message-ID: <001501c5d2ee$b44a6130$c6e7fea9@officezg.wa>

This is OO and test/unit problem (maybe more test/unit than OO), not a Watir
one, but I have read that all ruby problems are welcome here. I am using
Ruby and Watir for a few months, but I am new to programming and OO.

I have this file and it works.

<code>

require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'yaml'

$config = YAML::load(File.open('builder.yml'))

class User
  attr_reader :username, :password
  def initialize(user)
    @username, @password = user['username'], user['password']
  end
end
class App < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def log_in(user)
    $ie = Watir::IE.new
    $ie.set_fast_speed
    $ie.goto("#{$config['http_host']}login.aspx")
    assert($ie.contains_text('Please login'))
    $ie.textField(:id, 'userNameInput').set(user.username)
    $ie.textField(:id, 'passwordInput').set(user.password)
    $ie.button(:value, 'Login').click
    assert($ie.contains_text("logged in as #{user.username}"))
  end
  def test_log_in
    log_in(User.new($config['admin']))
  end
end

</code>

But I would like to have something like this (log_in method is moved to
class User).

<code>

require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'yaml'

$config = YAML::load(File.open('builder.yml'))

class User
  attr_reader :username, :password
  def initialize(user)
    @username, @password = user['username'], user['password']
end
  def log_in
    $ie = Watir::IE.new
    $ie.set_fast_speed
    $ie.goto("#{$config['http_host']}login.aspx")
    assert($ie.contains_text('Please login'))
    $ie.textField(:id, 'userNameInput').set(@username)
    $ie.textField(:id, 'passwordInput').set(@password)
    $ie.button(:value, 'Login').click
    assert($ie.contains_text("logged in as #{@username}"))
  end
end
class App < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_log_in
    User.new($config['admin']).log_in
  end
end

</code>

But when I run it I get this error message.

<error>

Loaded suite C:\path\file 
Started 
E 
Finished in 2.922 seconds. 
 
  1) Error: 
test_log_in(App): 
NoMethodError: undefined method `assert' for #<User:0x4fa6af0

    C:\path\file :16:in `log_in' 
    C:\path\file :25:in `test_log_in' 
 
1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors 

</error>

When I comment assertions (lines 16 and 20) it works. But I really like
assertions. I made class User child of Test::Unit::TestCase (class User <
Test::Unit::TestCase) but it does not work. Can this be done, or am I going
totally wrong somewhere?

Thanks.

Zeljko

        + Node 4

and again, clicking each of those will expand to more nodes.

The html to create the first 2 nodes of this tree looks a bit like:

<table>
<tr>
<td>..</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="false" height="20"><a
href="javascript:treeAction("my_tree#MA", "n=0000")
<img height="8" width="8" src="images/plus.gif" border="0" alt="Expand
Root Node"></a>Home Node</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="selected" align="left" height="20"><a
href="javascript:treeAction("my_tree#MA", "n=0001")
<img height="8" width="8" src="images/plus.gif" border="0" alt="Expand
Node"></a>Start Node</td>
</tr>
</table>

So, as you click them, the html changes to display the child nodes.

Now, if I have the following code:
ie.link(:url, /treeAction/).click
ie.link(:url, /treeAction/).click

That will work for the "Home Node", but it never sees the "Start
Node".  I want to be able to expand all nodes in the tree.  How can I
do this?

Incidentally, I saw the reference to JavaScript trees in the FAQ, but
it didn't seem to help my situation.

Does Watir possibly do a .uniq on the link array, and so it only sees the first?

Subject: [Wtr-general] Iterating over a Unit Test With Hash Values
Message-ID: <8ca48b420510170713x16d2da39m9afd2b40dcc37f2@mail.gmail.com>

I tried posting this to the mailing list last night to no avail, so if this
does show up as a double post I apologize in advance.

I've been using Watir for the past couple of weeks with great success. My
company has been able to stay a bit more agile when it comes to releases
because of the unit tests for the code and because of the Watir tests for
the interfaces we've been building. It's made for some less stressful
releases - so I'm very thankful to the Watir community for this.

I've been chewing on a problem for the past couple of weeks and getting no
success. I don't think it's a problem with Watir as much as it's my
inexperience with Ruby.

My problem is this: What if I want to run a unit test multiple times but
with different data each time through the test?

For example, let's say I have the following unit test - I'm using MapQuest
here as an example. My real world example does deal with addresses - and
MapQuest is a good example, I think.

Here's some sample code:

*** begin code ***

require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
include Watir

class MultipleAddressTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

def setup
$testSite = "http://www.mapquest.com"
$street = "123 Foo"
$zip = "90210"
$ie = IE.new
$ie.set_fast_speed
$ie.goto($testSite)
$ie.wait
end

def test_directions
$ie.text_field(:name, "address").set($street)
$ie.text_field(:name, "zipcode").set($zip)
$ie.button(:value, "Get Directions").click
sleep 7
$ie.close
end

end

*** end code ***

My problem is this - how can I run this same unit test multiple times for
different addresses. My object orientation isn't so good, and I'm not really
familiar with Unit Tests outside of what's in Watir's limited documentation.
Anyway, I digress.

Let's say I have a hash that I can iterate through:

*** begin pseduo code ***

$plans = {
"1181" => {
"street" => "36 Dearborn Street",
"zip" => "01979"
},
"1183" => {
"street" => "940 10th Street",
"zip" => "80302"
},
"1184" => {
"street" => "14030 Biscayne Blvd",
"zip" => "33181"
},
"1185" => {
"street" => "807 Reilly Ct",
"zip" => "95747"
},
"1187" => {
"street" => "21388 West Lane",
"zip" => "19958"
},
"1188" => {
"street" => "7877 Forest Blvd",
"zip" => "55125"
},
"1189" => {
"street" => "10 River Walk Plaza",
"zip" => "55107"
}
}

$plans.each_value do |plan|
street = plan['street']
zip = plan['zip']
puts street, zip
end

*** end pseudo code ***

How do I link up the ability to iterate through this hash for each pair of
addresses and zip codes with the Unit Test that takes address and zip as
inputs? I'd rather not write multiple tests that do the same thing - seems
repetitive work for a task that should be easy to accomplish with an
iterator.

I hope I'm being clear - can anyone help me? I'm sure it's a very easy fix.

Thanks.

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.

Hi Mike,

	I think I'd a similar problem recently.
If I'm correct, the tree is created dynamically so that
all the links aren't available when you navigate to the
page the first time?

Could you try re-attaching to IE with a new variable
after the original link is clicked? This new ie variable
could have the updated links. 

so try
ie.link(:url, /treeAction/).click
ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url,"<Copy and paste the exact url in IE address bar
here>" )
ie2.show_all_objects

I'm pretty sure you could just overwrite the original ie variable but I gave
it a new
name just to highlight.

Hopefully you should now be able to see the new links.

Hope that helps,
Mark.

Given a JavaScript tree which looks a bit like

- Home Node
    + Start Node

clicking on the little plus sign next to "Start Node" renders

- Home Node
    - Start Node
        + Node 1
        + Node 2
        + Node 3
        + Node 4

HI,

I have following code which fails to recognize the Popup for the first
execution, but if I try re-executing my script keeping both the initial
browser windows open..it strangely works. Please advice as to where I am
going wrong? Here is my code..

require 'watir'

require 'watir/winClicker'


ie = Watir::IE.start("http://www.formsite.com/forms/autoresponder/")
w = WinClicker.new
handle = w.getWindowHandle("Microsoft Internet Explorer")
ie.button(:value, "Submit").click
ie.image(:src, /qbut/).click

ie1 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "Instructions")


handle = w.getWindowHandle("Microsoft Internet Explorer")
ie1.text_field(:name, "ItemInstructions").clear
ie1.button(:value, "Close").click

ie.close

Thanks,

Vishal

You're right that the tree is created dynamically.  However, as in my
little diagram, there are 2 nodes initially available.  I can click
the first "Home Node" just fine, but I can't click the "Start Node",
even though it's available on the initial page render.

I think your suggestion may be what I need *after* I get the "Start
Node" clicked, but right now, I can't even do that.  It just doesn't
seem to see it there (which is why I asked if Watir is internally
doing some sort of uniq() on the links)

To tell you the truth, I don't really see any reference to these
objects in the show_all_objects output, with or without the attach().

	table?
Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D40C@EX5V.rl.gov>

What I had to do was do a view source on the page and find the desired
table using IE's find function (searched for <table).  Starting at the
top of the page I would count the number of tables (using find next)
until I got to the desired table-the count number being the index of
that table (I believe tables are zero based indexes so keep that in
mind).  Once there I could do any number of things to that table.  

 

Are the dynamic tables already in the page hidden and shown or are they
added based on user input?

	Hi,

	  How to check if a particular row exists in a table?

	There are more than one table in the screen to use

	 $ie.row(:id, 'row1').exists?.

	 Also there are tables within a table and also tables are
dynamic.

	When I try  table[x][y].exists? I get an error which says:

	c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2606:in `[]': Unable to
locate a cell at index 1 (Watir::Exception::UnknownCellException).

	 

	How do I test this?

	 

	Thanks,

	Amitha

I would put the code to iterate the hash inside your test_* function.

Simply make the first statement load your data ...

then iterate over a child method.

class MultiAddressTest < Test::Unit::Testcase

  def setup
    @testSite = "http://www.mapquest.com"
    @ie = IE.new @testSite
    # default behavior, not necessary =>@ie.set_fast_speed
    # wrap in one call to IE.new => @ie.goto(@testSite)
  end

  def teardown
   @ie.close
    sleep 5
  end

  def validate_direct( street, zip )
    @ie.text_field( :name, "address" ).set street
    @ie.text_field( :name, "zipcode" ).set zip
    @ie.button( :value, "Get Directions" ).click
    # Do Assertions to validate assumptions about web page displayed after click
  end

  def test_directions
    load "input.rb"
    $plan.each { |curr|
      validate_direct curr[ "street" ], curr[ "zip" ]
    end
  end
end

... should work.  I took out your heavy use of global variables ...
not necessary and generally considered "error prone".

Hi Mike,

	I amended the html slightly as there were a couple of small
problems. 
The anchor elements weren't being closed correctly and I substituted the
double-quotes
around the javascript declarations with single-quotes. (I don't think the
javscript works
proper if you have double-quotes inside double-quotes. )

However this doesn't fix your problem completely, it just allows you to call
the javascript
correctly I think.
I replaced the javascript function with a simple alert box that prints out
what node you clicked.
The bad part is that the only way i could locate the objects and click on
one of the buttons
was to introduce and id attribute into the <a> anchor tag.

Would it be feasible for you to do for all the links?

---------------------------------------
<html>
<head>

	alert('Clicked node' +nodeVal)

Have a go of this.

ie = Watir::IE.start("<url pointing to below html>")
home = ie.link(:id, /Home1/)
home.click

I think this clicks the first Home link.

Subject: [Wtr-general] JavaScript Tree difficulties


Given a JavaScript tree which looks a bit like

- Home Node
    + Start Node

clicking on the little plus sign next to "Start Node" renders

- Home Node
    - Start Node
        + Node 1
        + Node 2
        + Node 3
        + Node 4

and again, clicking each of those will expand to more nodes.

The html to create the first 2 nodes of this tree looks a bit like:

<table>
<tr>
<td>..</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="false" height="20"><a
href="javascript:treeAction("my_tree#MA", "n=0000")
<img height="8" width="8" src="images/plus.gif" border="0" alt="Expand
Root Node"></a>Home Node</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="selected" align="left" height="20"><a
href="javascript:treeAction("my_tree#MA", "n=0001")
<img height="8" width="8" src="images/plus.gif" border="0" alt="Expand
Node"></a>Start Node</td>
</tr>
</table>

So, as you click them, the html changes to display the child nodes.

Now, if I have the following code:
ie.link(:url, /treeAction/).click
ie.link(:url, /treeAction/).click

That will work for the "Home Node", but it never sees the "Start
Node".  I want to be able to expand all nodes in the tree.  How can I
do this?

Incidentally, I saw the reference to JavaScript trees in the FAQ, but
it didn't seem to help my situation.

Does Watir possibly do a .uniq on the link array, and so it only sees the
first?

Message-ID: <20051017172905.41316.qmail@web30811.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi All,
I wanted to check the visibility of a control on a
page.
I was wondering if there is any methd such as
getAttribute()
When i tried this ..
ie.show_attributes 
or
control_name = ie.control(:id,"abc")
ie.getAttribute(control_name,"style.display")
i get a error message No Such Method.
Does anybody have any Idea of getting around this.
Thanks

Hi,
do a 
$ie.show_tables
this will display something as 
1 row=16 column=2
'1' in the above line is the table index.
so now you can access it as 
table= ie.table(:index,1)
Now get all the rows as
rowcount = table.row_count 
or
you can directly access a row's  column as
table[12][2].link(:text,"asd").click 
or
 apply your assert to check the text or what ever you
want to check.

I know that somewhere deep down through all of the OLE crud ... the
visibility of a control SHOULD be discernable.
 Just haven't found it.

Unfortunately, I really don't have any control over the html.  I'm
(probably strangely) actually trying to use Watir to automate some
monotonous tasks in a COTS product.  It was going quite well until my
difficulties with this tree...

Thanks for all of your help.

Subject: [Wtr-general] maximize() question
Message-ID: <60a458ca0510171603q26b4d1cfs2eb555742e86eabc@mail.gmail.com>

I've just started evaluating Watir as a possible automation solution to our
company, however have run into a somewhat embarassing problem right out of
the gate. What happens, is when I run the test script the browser window
doesn't pop up in a maximized state. I did some reading, and noticed that
there's a maximize method I can use to bring it to the proper state before I
progress with automation, however I don't seem to be able to incorporate it
properly. Below is a simplified copy of the code I'm trying to run it on (it
should look familiar). How would I implement the maximize() method to get
this working properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#includes:
require 'watir' # the watir controller
include Watir

site = 'http://whatever.com/test.jsp'

def logInMethod(site)
#open the IE browser
ie = IE.new
puts "## Beginning of test: Text Check"
puts " "

puts "Step 1: go to the test site: " + site
ie.goto(site)
puts "Action: entered " + site + "in the address bar."
end


logInMethod(site)

OK, not sure if you'll like it, but here's the deal:

Watir will let you do this:

name = $ie.text_field(:name, "customer.professionalName.first")
o = name.getOLEObject()
display = o.invoke ("style").invoke ("display")
puts "customer.professionalName.first has display : '#{display.to_s}'"

The above get's the OLE object (that mathod name may change in the future).
You can invoke the attribute to get the value. Not pretty, but it works.
ALAS, this does not actually show if the control is visible. In my case, the
display/hide logic works on a surrounding DIV element, so I would have:

div = $ie.div(:id, "profname")
o = div.getOLEObject()
display = o.invoke ("style").invoke ("display")
puts "div profname has display : '#{display.to_s}'"

div = $ie.div(:id, "nonprofname")
o = div.getOLEObject()
display = o.invoke ("style").invoke ("display")
puts "div nonprofname has display : '#{display.to_s}'"

and get:
div profname has display : 'block'
div nonprofname has display : 'none'
in reply.

In other words, you must check the property on the element that is scripted
to display or no. And you would need to know if the element is hidden as
display: none or visibility: hidden. I guess this is not the nice simple
solution you wanted, but this code does actually get the values. You decide
if it's worth the bother.

I reckon we'd've known by now if so.

Dynamic tables are hidden and shown when a particular item is added to the pane.
 I got the table index and also the table has 9 rows and 1 column.
When I try to access table[1][1](and search for a text there), It throws the following exception:
 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2606:in

What I want to do is look for the text in the row only if that row exists.But exists? function did not work for a row...How else can I do it?

What I had to do was do a view source on the page and find the desired table using IE?s find function (searched for <table).  Starting at the top of the page I would count the number of tables (using find next) until I got to the desired table?the count number being the index of that table (I believe tables are zero based indexes so keep that in mind).  Once there I could do any number of things to that table.  

 

Are the dynamic tables already in the page hidden and shown or are they added based on user input?

Hi,


  How to check if a particular row exists in a table?



There are more than one table in the screen to use


 $ie.row(:id, 'row1').exists?.


 Also there are tables within a table and also tables are dynamic.


When I try  table[x][y].exists? I get an error which says:


c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:2606:in `[]': Unable to locate a cell at index 1 (Watir::Exception::UnknownCellException).


 


How do I test this?


 


Thanks,


Amitha

Hi,
    try using the getContents to find the text.
 var = table[1][1].getContents
puts var

As far not finding the cell means (normally)that you
are accessing the wrong table with wrong arguments.
A long way to get around is to try each table index
and then locate what you are looking for.
hope this helps.

  I checked again. I am accessing the right table.
But as u can see from the HTML below, first two rows of the table are empty.
So when I try to acess the first row,its throwing an exception.The tables are dynamic and based on user input.
I want to test if the input added has been saved. So I want to iterate through the table until I find the text.
 
HTML of the table:
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="200%">
                                                                <tr>
                                                                </tr>
                                                                <tr>

I've just started evaluating Watir as a possible automation solution to our
company, however have run into a somewhat embarassing problem right out of
the gate. What happens, is when I run the test script the browser window
doesn't pop up in a maximized state. I did some reading, and noticed that
there's a maximize method I can use to bring it to the proper state before I
progress with automation, however I don't seem to be able to incorporate it
properly. Below is a simplified copy of the code I'm trying to run it on (it
should look familiar). How would I implement the maximize() method to get
this working properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
 

#includes:
require 'watir' # the watir controller
include Watir

site = 'http://whatever.com/test.jsp'

def logInMethod(site)
 #open the IE browser
 ie = IE.new
 puts "## Beginning of test: Text Check"
 puts " " 

 puts "Step 1: go to the test site: " + site
 ie.goto(site)
 puts    "Action: entered " + site + "in the address bar."
end


logInMethod(site)

Not necessarily. We have a contributor from another well-known web service 
who has asked that his affiliation remain anonymous.

Thanks for the response Chris!  Unfortunately I am not a programmer.  I
understand the concept of multiple threads, but I do not know how to make
it happen in Ruby.  I have tried numerous combinations of WATIR syntax, but
I am simply guessing.  The Unit tests run in my environment, so I expected
one of the examples would work.

My inability to get over this Pop Up issue is forcing me to use another
functional testing tool, but my preference would be to use WATIR.  WATIR
provides us with several advantages over the other functional testing tool.

WATIR provides us the ability to check in scripts into source control along
side the code under test.  WATIR also allows us to quickly generate test
scripts that outline the steps to the developers for a specific defect and
the expected result. Our goal is to attach these WATIR scripts to the
actual defects.

 I am not able to do these things with the other functional testing tool.
The other tool however handles Pop ups flawlessly.

I think WATIR is the way to go, so I plea once again for assistance.

Hi Carl...
    I really, really feel your pain, and I am just not in a position
right now to take a crack at your question.
    I can't give you divine guidance (and I don't live in Austin) but
here's a clue:  threads.  And fork()
    One way or another, you have to handle popups in a different
process than the one that is controlling your IE.
      If you don't have an answer by next week, I'll be back, but in
the meantime, think about forking and threads, and maybe ask one more
time.
-Chris

Thanks Raghu for the response!  I have installed WATIR, WET, and RUBY in  a
directory C:\apps.  When I added the /apps to my paths I was able to run
the WATIR unit tests and develop new functional test scripts.

How can I explicitly define the path to the runit library?

I think if I uninstall WET and reinstall I will still have a path concern.
As time permits I will continue my attempt to resolve this issue.

Have you tried the sample 'install test script'  that is shipped with WET?

The problem above appears to be an installation issue. For some reason
your script is
unable to load the runit library. Are you able to use other r-unit
scripts ? If so, is there
something do you have to change the requires path for the unit tests. I
noticed that
in your sample script, the requires line states:
require '/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit'

however, typically it should be enough to say
require 'test/unit'

Could you try to change the requires line in the 'TestPopups.rb' file
and see if it helps?

Amol
If it's all too ugly to bear lookin at it, wrap it in a Ruby method or
class. For example, you might add a method visible? to Element. In that
method, you could ascend the DOM tree, checking first the node and then each
parentNode in turn to see if it is visible (climbing the tree in the reverse
the cascade of inheritance).

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to check if a particular row exists in atable?
Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D413@EX5V.rl.gov>

Here is an example of my solution.  The scenario is there are multiple
tables with various buttons (all the button have the same
name-'Deactivate').  The test find table at index 8 and clicks the
button in the last row in column 2.  At that point the page has to be
reloaded in order to account for the change in the page and then check 

 

    def test4_DeactivateGEMS

      gotoTestPage()

 

      # Find the link and click it

      $ie.link(:text, /GEMS/i).click

      

      # Load my target table  

      table = $ie.table(:index, 8)

      

      # get the number of rows  

      rowCount = table.row_count

            

      # remove the button in column 2 in the last row  

      table[rowCount][2].button("Delete").click

            

      # reload the table variable because the page has changed  

      table = $ie.table(:index, 8)

              

      begin

          assert_not_equal(rowCount,table.row_count)

      rescue => e

          puts "*FAILED*." + e.message + "\n" + e.backtrace.join("\n")

      end

     $ie.close

   end

 

If there is nothing at index [1] [1] then do the view source, find your
table and count the <tr> tags until you get the a row with data and
start there.  You could iterate over the rows and columns if you need
move flexibility. 

Also, I would use a regular expression to find the text e.g. /test to
search for/i (use the 'i' if case doesn't matter).

 

Have you checked out the table_test.rb in the untitest folder of your
WATIR installation directory?

Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] How to check if a particular row exists in
atable?

 

  I checked again. I am accessing the right table.

But as u can see from the HTML below, first two rows of the table are
empty.

So when I try to acess the first row,its throwing an exception.The
tables are dynamic and based on user input.

I want to test if the input added has been saved. So I want to iterate
through the table until I find the text.

 

HTML of the table:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="200%">
                                                                <tr>

this script she is not seeing the popup, but in my environment I see the
pop up, but the syntax as is does not click on the no button.

Thanks in advance for your input.

across to me, I wld be more than glad to help U & trust others in our group
can give u correct pointers. Hope U post the attachment or provide link to

Thanks for the response Chris! Unfortunately I am not a programmer. I
understand the concept of multiple threads, but I do not know how to make
it happen in Ruby. I have tried numerous combinations of WATIR syntax, but
I am simply guessing. The Unit tests run in my environment, so I expected
one of the examples would work.

My inability to get over this Pop Up issue is forcing me to use another
functional testing tool, but my preference would be to use WATIR. WATIR
provides us with several advantages over the other functional testing tool.

WATIR provides us the ability to check in scripts into source control along
side the code under test. WATIR also allows us to quickly generate test
scripts that outline the steps to the developers for a specific defect and
the expected result. Our goal is to attach these WATIR scripts to the
actual defects.

I am not able to do these things with the other functional testing tool.
The other tool however handles Pop ups flawlessly.

I think WATIR is the way to go, so I plea once again for assistance.

Hi Carl...
I really, really feel your pain, and I am just not in a position
right now to take a crack at your question.
I can't give you divine guidance (and I don't live in Austin) but
here's a clue: threads. And fork()
One way or another, you have to handle popups in a different
process than the one that is controlling your IE.
If you don't have an answer by next week, I'll be back, but in
the meantime, think about forking and threads, and maybe ask one more
time.
-Chris

For anyone whose interested, here's what I was suggesting:

   class Element
      def visible?
         elm = @o;
         display = true
         while(elm && elm.tagName != 'BODY')
            style = elm.invoke("style");
            if style.invoke("display") == 'none' ||
style.invoke("visibility") == 'hidden'
               display = false
               break
            end
            elm = elm.parentElement
         end
         display
      end
   end

Now all you need to do is something like this:

$ie.text_field(:name, "customer.name").visible?

If it's generally useful, maybe Bret et.al. might consider including
it. For now, paste it into your test script or include it from a file.

Message-ID: <7F56E1BD6DF3A34DB97A11A4494C6FB70268F0C8@corpexch.rdacorp.com>

long email- I have been burning too many cycles on this & just about to go back to manual testing for now<g> ... or use Win32:GuiTest for the current problem :>( .. too bad because I love using Watir for web app testing, and this is a web app I've got
Does anyone know how to load test variable inputs from a file into a 2-D array and use them in a WATIR script ?
I used to do this in Win32:GuiTest using Perl and it seemed straightforward,
(Thanks for even reading Perl <g>) eg.
open (FIL, "C:\\mAddressData.csv");
# reading from file
 while ( <FIL> ) {
     chomp;
     push @mDatArray, [ split /,/ ];
 }
 
 for ($k=0; $k< 20; $k++) {
 
  # get to address query home page
 address1 = "$mDatArray[$k][0]";
 # note the address1 field in the input file has no commas
 # so I can safely use csv files as input
 city = "$mDatArray[$k][1]";
 state = "$mDatArray[$k][8]";
 
 
    # now do some stuff on the app with the address query screen
    # using the inputs from row 'k' of my input
 
{
# here is a similar attempt in Ruby/ Watir
##################################################################
# load data array
############
DatArray= Array.new
File.open("Data99.csv","r") do |file|
 while line= file.gets
    DatArray<<line.split(',')
 end
end
i=0
while(i < 100)
# go to address query start

 ie.text_field(:name, "address1").set(DatArray[i,0].to_s)
 sleep 2
 ie.text_field(:name, "City").set(DatArray[i,1].to_s)
 sleep 2
 ie.text_field(:name, "State").set(DatArray[i,2].to_s)
 
 sleep 2
 ie.send_keys("{tab}")
 ie.send_keys("{ENTER}") #submits address query

 i = i + 1
 sleep 2
 
# end while loop
end
# number 1 problem is that line.split does not seem to really split up the line
# number 2 problem.. if I leave off 'to_s ' Ruby complains that I can't use an array cell
#  with the set argument. problem 2.1 .... If I put to_s on, Ruby concatenates each successive string I use it with
# anyone SUCCESSFULLY  done anything similar to this with Ruby/ watir ?

Subject: [Wtr-general] Loading input variables from a text file into 2D

Mike

To address a 2D array in Ruby, you need something like this:

   dataArray[i][j]

when you write dataArray[i,j] you are accessing a slice.

Try this:

dataArray= Array.new
n = 0
File.new("data.csv").each_line do |line|
 line.chomp!
 dataArray[n] = line.split(',')
 n += 1
end

i=0
while(i < dataArray.length)
# go to address query start

 puts "First: #{dataArray[i][0]}"
 puts "Second: #{dataArray[i][1]}"
 puts "Third: #{dataArray[i][2]}"

 sleep 2

 i = i + 1
 sleep 2

end

John
P.S. By convention, variable names that start with a capital are Constants.

Can getHTML be used for a table or tablecell?
When I tried tab=$ie.frame(:index,1).table(:index,2).getHTML
puts tab it gave the following exception:
undefined method `getHTML' for #<Watir::Table:0x2d9caa8> (NoMethodError).

Hi,
in the watir_bonus\unitTest\table_test.rb they have
highlighted the colors of the cells/rows.
If you have not seen that example ..check to see if it
helps

I am not shure what do you need. My guess is that you need to isolate
'id=89' from 'sub_viewvehicle.php?id=89&t=vehicle'. If you need
something else, let me know.

# try to find 'id=' followed with two digits (\d) in
'sub_viewvehicle.php?id=89&t=vehicle'
# 'sub_viewvehicle.php?id=89&t=vehicle' =~  /id=\d\d/
ie.link(:text, 'New Vehicle').href =~ /id=\d\d/

# string that matches is stored in variable $& (and yes, this is ugly
looking variable, and it has a nicer Ruby name, but I can not find it
now)
puts $&

whitespace after the value is

I'm trying to match a preset value "test" to this but I can't get the string

I've tried 
str1= "test							"
str2 = "test"

str1.matches("^"+str2+" *$)

but it doesn't seem to match. My regexp isn't as strong as it could be but
I'd appreciate any help.

Perhaps there's some sort of trim function available? 

Thanks,

I am not shure what do you want to do.

1) If you want to see if a string contains another string you can do it like
this:

'test                           ' =~ /test/

2) if you want to delete spaces from the end of the string you can do it
like this:

'test                           '.rstrip

or like this

'test                           '.delete(' ')

Hi Zeljko,

	Thanks a million for the help.

I've run the line
'test                           ' =~ /test/

in the fxri and it return a value of zero.
Is zero the correct value or should it not be true or 1?
The value is nil when I put in something like 
'test                           ' =~ /tet/

I couldn't locate the rstrip function in the WATIR api
but it's exactly what I'm looking for. 

Thanks again Zeljko,
Mark.

'test    ' =~ /test/

returns zero because it is position in string that he found the match (it is
zero based, so first character in string has number 0).

'   test    ' =~ /test/ #(add three spaces before test)

would return 3.

It returns nil when no match is found.

rstrip is part of Ruby (String class) and not part of Watir.

Try reading this book if you are really serious about using Watir, it will
all make much more sense after you read it.

	I'm reading a value from a textArea using text_field however all the
whitespace after the value is 
included i.e. I'm getting back a string like
"test							"
I'm trying to match a preset value "test" to this but I can't get the string
matches method to work?

I've tried 
str1= "test							"
str2 = "test"

str1.matches("^"+str2+" *$)

but it doesn't seem to match. My regexp isn't as strong as it could be but
I'd appreciate any help.

Perhaps there's some sort of trim function available? 

Thanks,
Mark.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Loading input variables from a text file into 2D
 array (long)

Ruby has a built-in CSV library that comes with the standard distribution.

You could do something like:

require 'csv'
myData = []
CSV.open("C:\\mAddressData.csv", "r") do |row|
    myData.push row
end

You could then look at your data using

myData[row#][column#]

Note that both row numbers and column numbers start at 0.

I hope this is helpful.  You can find more on the CSV library on pg 663 
of the Pickaxe 2nd Ed.

Regards,
Alf

A better method would be this:

$LOAD_PATH << '../Methods'
$LOAD_PATH << '../../WebXML/XML'
require 'FileA'
require 'xml_file'

Zeljko's approach will work, until you have a code in FileA that want to 
load FileB, and then another test that wants to load FileB. The first will 
want to do "require 'FileB'" (which won't work at first, because require is 
relative to the current directory of the script being run, not the library 
being loaded -- eventually you'll probably fix with a change to the load 
path). And yet the other file will want to do "require '../Methods/FileA'". 
In the end this will load the module twice, which often leads to other errors.

Actually, the more object oriented ruby way to do it would be

--SCRIPT--

# define a method so you don't repeat yourself when you want to do this later.
def getLinkID( *args )

  # we used *args so we can pass whatever we want to the #link call.

  regex = /id=(\d+)/
  id = nil

  begin

    # setup your tools & values
    href = ie.link( *args ).href

    # find the value
    matches = regex.match( href )
    if matches
      # found it
      id = matches[1]
    end

  rescue

    # this failure would "normally" happen if ie.link can't find the
link in the page.

  end

  # return whatever we have ... value or nil
  id

end

# how this is callable as
my_id = getLinkID( :text, "New Vehicle" )

# or ( whatever you want )
my_id = getLinkID( :name, /Blah/ )

--SCRIPT--

I try to stay away from the less-readable perl-like ways of doing it. 
I don't like implicit variables.

Since you have the code for the table and/or table cell, the method is
simply ".html"

$ie.frame( :index, 1 ).table( :index, 2 ).html

all done.

you can then use a regular expression on the returned string.

Thanks Jeff and Zeljko for both the more OO method and the
quick method. 
To explain further what I need to do is to get the id. From
that id then I want to click a gif image in an IMG tag
example as shown below: 
<IMG onclick=rusure(80) alt="Delete Asset"
src="/brand/client/images/del.gif" border=0> 

Let's say the id is 80 and I pass it in a variable $myid

How do I proceed to click that image? because onclick is
not 
part of the IMG attribute it's a javascript that the
developer is passing the id to.

$ie.frame("main").image(:??, ??).click

thanks for the help

Your easiest solution is to get your developer to add an id tag to the image.

It won't hurt anything and it makes testing infinitely easier.

You have

<img onClick='ruser( 80 )' alt='Delete Asset'
src='/brand/client/images/del.gif' border='0'>

With the addition, you would have

<img id='del_80' onClick='ruser( 80 )' alt='Delete Asset'
src='/brand/client/images/del.gif' border='0'>

Which would make finding the right image to click:

id = getLinkID( :name, "New Vehicle" )
ie.button( :id, /del_#{ id }/ ).click

Nice and clean, yeah? Always try to get development to put IDs on
things it will save your sanity.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Loading input variables from a text file into 2	D
	array (long)

Hi Mike.
Check out yaml for loading data into arrays. It's simple--easier and less
work than xml or reading data from a csv file. With yaml, you can put data
into arrays, arrays of arrays, hashes, or mixed sequences. Regexps can also
be serialized. I am using yaml for user data, test data, managing test sets
(different sets of files to execute), etc. I have found yaml to be a great
complement to watir.

http://yaml4r.sourceforge.net/

Check out the cookbook (http://yaml4r.sourceforge.net/cookbook/) for
examples.

Hope this helps--and that you stick with watir! :-)

Thanks to all. I used this one below (works great)  but I'll check out the other solutions when I have time. In about 2002 I was sick of using Rational Robot datapools, had a lot of boring, repititious stuff to add over & over via Robot in a few screens, and found something similar to this whole concept in a Rational group contributed by Carl Nagle. I think it was the first yahoo group, not the one where you have two-tiered  input files .... ok I'm off topic. The point is a little test automation can turn a horribly boring testing task into something reasonably good & productive.
Now watir is really slick- can't wait for the next cool thing I can do with it. Also belated  thanks Carl if you are out there.

Try this:

dataArray= Array.new
n = 0
File.new("data.csv").each_line do |line|
 line.chomp!
 dataArray[n] = line.split(',')
 n += 1
end

i=0
while(i < dataArray.length)
# go to address query start

 puts "First: #{dataArray[i][0]}"
 puts "Second: #{dataArray[i][1]}"
 puts "Third: #{dataArray[i][2]}"

 sleep 2

 i = i + 1
 sleep 2

end

Additionally,

You should start to look at WET , the extension to the watir project ...

It actually has a syntax for you being able to define your test data
in an excel spreadsheet ( for easy modification ) ... and then call it
directly from your script.

There is a merger in the works between the projects ... No information
yet on when, but ... You could take a look at that ... it might be an
easier way to maintain the information you need for testing.

Hi Mike,

What I think is the code that you are using for clicking the link will
always return you the Home Link.
Your HTML code is like this:

> <tr>
> <td class="false" height="20"><a
> href="javascript:treeAction("my_tree#MA", "n=0000")
> <img height="8" width="8" src="images/plus.gif" border="0" alt="Expand
> Root Node"></a>Home Node</td>
> </tr>
> <tr>
> <td class="selected" align="left" height="20"><a
> href="javascript:treeAction("my_tree#MA", "n=0001")
> <img height="8" width="8" src="images/plus.gif" border="0" alt="Expand
> Node"></a>Start Node</td>
> </tr>
>
Your watir code is:

> ie.link(:url, /treeAction/).click
> ie.link(:url, /treeAction/).click
>
The above code will always return the first link whose url matches the
regular expression /treeaction/. You can check this by printing the 'href'
of the link on the console. You'll never be able to click on Start Node link
using this code. Either you specify all the full href that distinguishes
both the links or use 'text' attribute to get the link.

HTH,

Regards,
Angrez

Yeah, ok, I can see that being the case.  The thing that I'm a little
confused about is the fact that, in Watir, I basically did something
like this:

(1..40).each { |i|
    ie.link(:index, i).flash
}

and while a ton of other stuff flashed, the "Start Node" never did.

Aside from that, how would I get a list of all of the treeAction
hrefs?  There isn't a usable :text value to use.  The value of :text
would actually be "Start Node" rather than the little plus image, and
clicking "Start Node" takes me to a page that is irrelevant for my
purposes right now.

Thanks very much for your thoughts.

Shot in the dark, but what does (0..40).each do?

It's a range, which would essentially do:
ie.link(:index, 1).flash
ie.link(:index, 2).flash
ie.link(:index, 3).flash
...etc...
ie.link(:index, 40).flash

What I'm getting at, is that I attempted to flash every link
available, which worked on the "Home Node" (flashed just to the right
of the + image), but not on the "Start Node".  If links can be
referenced by index on the page, then each link should be visible
given the correct index value, so that link *should* have flashed
(unless somehow my index number wasn't high enough, but I'm sure it
was).

Incidentally, Watir really is very slick!

I'm just curious, but did you try:

ie.link(:index, 0).flash

?

Right, I forgot that :index isn't zero-based.

You are definitely doing the right thing - JS tree views can be tricky. Sorry I
don't have much in the way of help.

Hi...
    I definitely have some sort of WIN32OLE vs AutoIt problem.  I
broke out the Perl controller to capture that particular error
message.
    I gave up on AutoIt, I'm using Perl Win32::GuiTest and perl
system(1,ruby.exe) for a controller.  It's easy, it's bulletproof, and
it works.

Actually, the problem is that you didn't tell AutoIT WHICH window to
send the RETURN to ...

If you look at the documentation and the unit tests that are included
with Watir, you will see proper usage for AutoIT.

Message-ID: <8E8566F46AEAB841BBDC1CB980C15D0E061FEFEE@agile.allfinanz.com>

Hi folks,

	I'm having a bit of bother using a variable as a regular expression
The code is as follows.


$applicationName="myApp"

appBox = $detailsFrame.checkbox(:value, /$applicationName/).click



the checkBox value I'm looking to match is

<input type="checkbox" name="selectedObjectIds"
value="myApp.ear/deployments/myApp"  ...

Any ideas how I use the value of the variable as the regexp to match
against?

Thanks,
Mark.

The pickaxe book says "Regexps are created using the /.../ and
%r{...}literals, and by the
Regexp.new <ref_c_regexp.html#Regexp.new>constructor. "

So use one of:
appBox = $detailsFrame.checkbox(:value, Regexp.new( $applicationName )
).click ...OR...
appBox = $detailsFrame.checkbox(:value, /#{$applicationName}/).click

Actually, I had a inscrutable error message from the WIN32OLE/AutoIT
axis that I couldn't figure out.

I was only able to capture the msg. when running the AutoIt script in
the Perl controller.

The threading in the Win32 Ruby implementation is distinctly inferior to 
Perl's. There, i said it.

+1 on the comment ... But, you can cheat and use dRuby or my new Roxy
classes to talk between scripts physically running in seperate
processes if necessary ...

That may help with the threading issues ...

Yikes!
Perl's threads are no great shakes, and neither are Windows'.  I was
under the impression that Ruby's threads were about the best out
there.

I really, really like the architecture of a process that loops,
handling normal Windows client windows with a GuiTest implementation,
and another process that uses Watir to muck around in IE.

Once it's running, maintenance is trivial, adding handling for new
popup windows is easy, and there are none of the tightly-coupled
issues when trying to manipulate multiple threads from within the same
script.

That said, I wonder how Wayne is doing on a Ruby GuiTest?   Anyone
know?   (I've been following the Perl GuiTest mail list, and version
1.5x looks really, really powerful.)

Ruby manages it's own threads so in some ways it's better ...

But, in other ways, worse.

ruby can't do better ( except make really line-noise looking scripts

Win32::GuitTest

Wayne Vucenic has gotten a good start at porting an earlier version of
this Perl module to Ruby, but got stalled.

Activestate Perl has Win32::GuiTest v 1.3 in the default install, but
current development is on 1.5, and took several leaps forward over the
last few months.  It's a powerful library, worth looking into if you
have to manipulate normal Windows GUIs.

By rights, when you spawn a separate thread, if it blocks that shouldn't 
affect other threads. That that is not how it works with the Win32 Ruby. 
(The unix ruby, including the cygwin ruby work correctly.)

So if you do something that is going to block a thread, like say click a 
button that brings up a dialog, you have to make sure that either

A. You click the button in a separate process (not just a thread), and then 
click the button in the current process.

or

B. You start up a process that will click the button when it appears, then 
you click the button, causing the current thread to block.

I don't think that DRB provides a workaround for this clumsiness. Because 
once a process is blocked, it is blocked. DRB is synchronous.

Ah.  Good explanation, that explains the behavior I saw.
I am surprised several times every month that we are all still using Windows.

Message-ID: <C629A6599EAF2B4C97CC314771BC292C04CABD6A@mail.extend.com>


After I use a Watir statement like @@ie.link(:text, "some link text").click I need to know the http returned status Code, such as a 404 or 500.
I assume I can refer to this page http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html for the correct
information on what those status value mean.


I tent do all my test using this form

		@@log.info "test something"
		 begin
			# do something using Watir 
			assert(some stuff here)
			@@log.info "PASS"
		rescue => e
			@@log.info "FAIL"
		end	


I because I 'rescue' everything, getting a 500 or 404 would just give me a fail. I would like to add info to the log that is failed and got this http status.

Any suggests?

Cheers

I ran it quite a while ago and it worked.

There is a testsuite in timeclock that requires the ability to fork a 
process. It works with cygwin ruby, but not mswin ruby.

I have sent two articles about watir to inet-tr conference. Which is
one of the most prestigious Internet Conferences of Turkey. Both were
accepted. First one is fairly simple only an introduction to Watir.
Second one shows how you can use watir for Sql Injection attacks.

I hope that these articles will increase awareness of Watir in Turkey.
Since this is a big conference in Turkey, Most university teachers and
a lot of Company members come to it.

I wanted to share my joy with you. Unfortunately both papers are in
Turkish. But i will translate sql injection one to english, when I
find some time. Thanks to watir community and also my thanks to Paul
Rogers and Bret Pettichord to make watir.

I would very much like to read this one.  Please consider publishing
the SQL injection piece, I think it would be fascinating.  I would be
willing to bet that someone would publish it-- Better Software, or
Software Development Magazine, or Dr. Dobbs, or InformIT-- it'd be
good reading any of those places, I think.  (And if you'd like someone
to read a draft, please sign me up!)

Again, well done!

Coincidentally I am also in the midst of writing a automater web
security scanner by using Watir, e.g. to spider all the links and
forms on a website and attempt sql injection, XSS and parameter
tampering attacks.

I have some difficulty such as tampering with parameters in drop-down
lists, checkboxes or bypassing javascript validation controls on form
fields, as watir APIs don't seem to support changes to the html
elements (apart from text field values...)

It's not peculiar to Win32 - Ruby uses "green threads" (implemented using 
select()) which all run in the same process.

People claim some benefit from this ("they work the same on all systems") but I 
don't see it; I think it's simply inferior to native threading.

Now, regarding workarounds, Win32 can't fork, but can popen. You can use that to 
open a new related process. I did that to make my AutoIt javascript dialog 
handler work - unless AutoIt opens in a separate process, IE waiting on the 
dialog will block everything (because it blocks the process, and all threads in 
it).

Cheers,
Dave

Looking around the API I found this:

Watir::Exception::NavigationException 
"This exception is thrown if an http error, such as a 404, 500 etc is encountered while navigating"


Does anyone have an example where this is used? I would also very much like to be able to know if it was a 404 or a 500 for my logs

Doing this kind of thing is pretty much outside the scope of the Watir API.

However, the underlying COM API does allow these things to be modified, and 
that API can be accessed from Watir.

In most cases, for a Watir element @o or ole_object represents the COM 
object which has all kinds of methods for destructively accessing it.

It would be great to have links to these articles (whether in Turkish or 
English) on our Articles Page.

http://wtr.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?WatirArticles

Please add the links when the articles become available. If you need help 
finding a site to publish them to, let us know.

I have needed, on occaision, to disable client-side validations in order 
to test server-side routines.  We found a very simple method of doing 
this using OLE.

You can do something like:

ie.document.parentWindow.execScript("function validateMainForm() { 
return true; }")

This will kill a validator function (you need to know the function name 
in advance) for your next form submit.

Message-ID: <BAY103-F14ADAE146B984491094CAFC0770@phx.gbl>

Greetings All,

I setup a file structure to organize tests and am having problems running 
scripts due to the relative path.  Following is an example of my file 
structure:

webtest/
  testsuite1/
    testsuite1a/
      alltest.rb --Queries current directory and runs all tests
      1_test.rb
      2_test.rb
    testsuite1b/
      alltest.rb
      1_test.rb
      2_test.rb
    alltests.rb --Queries sub directories and runs alltests.rb in subdirs


I am finding that testsuite1a/alltests.rb runs fine, but when I go up a 
directory and run testsuite1/alltests.rb the alltests.rb in the sub dirs 
don't run.  Following are my alltests scripts:

#parent alltests.rb
$LOAD_PATH << File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') #load parent dir
$LOAD_PATH << File.dirname(__FILE__) #load current path

allDir = Dir["*TestSuite*/alltests.rb"]

allDir.each{|z|	require z}



#child alltests.rb
$LOAD_PATH << File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..')
$LOAD_PATH << File.dirname(__FILE__)

allDir = Dir["*_test.rb*"]

allDir.each{|z| require z}

Thanks in advance,
Gene

When ever I use the ie.fileField it pops up a dos window and seems to be cycling through a number of directories. 
Question #1. Does anybody know why the window is popped up and what it is doing.
Question #2. Is there a way to prevent the dos window from popping up.
 
Thanks

You could probably use getHTML, and then use a regular expression to parse
out the error from the HTML. You can often find that in the title tags:
<title>404 Not Found</title>

Hope that helps.

Or in the body - not sure if getHTML will get the title tags or not.

#1 The window pops because the watir library uses a second script to
encapsulate the functionality of doing a file upload. The second program is
cycling through all of the window titles it can find looking for the file
dialog that was created when your script said to upload a file. When it
finds it, it sets the entry field to the name you provided and clicks the
"select" button on the dialog, making it go away.
 #2 The only way to prevent it would be to rename the script it is running
to a .rbw file extension and change the watir library to use the renamed
script.
 .rb files open in a console
.rbw files open without one.
 But, you lose the debugging information it provides... Hope that helps

Since your scripts are written in Ruby, you can use the provided tools for
RDoc to generate documentation on your class files.
 Review the online documentation for the RDoc project for more information:
 http://rdoc.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html
 Hope that helps. It has a variety of different output formats.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Error while running unit test for File Field
Message-ID: <e26bda3e0510242306h143ead03oc666007e00d8a35d@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I got following error while running the unit test case for File Field.
The system cannot find the file d:/program.
I have installed watir 1.4.1 in directory d:/program files/watir.
I think its the space between 'program' and 'files' that is causing the
problem.
If I install it in the directory d:/watir/ everything works fine or any
directory
which is not having space in its name.

Is this a bug?

Regards,
Angrez

Try
 $ie.frame( :name, "main" ).image( :alt, "Delete Asset" ).click
 If that doesn't work, please provide a bit more information. Debugging with
a blindfold is pretty hard stuff.

There's been on going threads both here & in the general
ruby-talk at ruby-lang.org mailing list.
 IEs COM interface does not expose any of the HTTP information for the
request.
 Suggestions have included using a small proxy server in between you and the
actual site and then finding some way of querying it for the HTTP
information.
 Nothing seems to have been done on that front.

Usually, If you enclose an argument like :
 D:\Program Files\watir
 in quotes, things are happier
 "D:\Program Files\watir"
 Works that way from the command line too.
 Hope that helps.

thanks for the suggestion this will work if there was only
one image with alt text "Delete Asset". But I have more
than one images with the same alt text, the only thing that
differentiate them is the dynamically generated id, that is
why I'm trying to pass the id. Could I pass the id in the
onclick in the fire_event method?

Hi Roy.

I think for this case you require multiple parameter to recognzie one 
object.  This option is supported in WET.
In WET the syntax would by like this.

Browser("title:=.....").Button("alt:=Delete Asset", "id:=....", 
"index:=1").click

I think this should solve your issue.

Sathya

Summary: File field unit test fails 

Initial Comment:
When we install watir in the directory which has a space in its name (e.g:
d:\Program Files\watir) unit test for file field fails saying that 'Unable to find the file d:\program' considering the directory in the example.

If you install watir in the directory that doesn't have a space (e.g: d:\watir) unit test works fine.

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to hide the explorer window in Watir
Message-ID: <20051025092447.16992.qmail@web8302.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

	through Watir
Message-ID: <20051025095455.12641.qmail@web8505.mail.in.yahoo.com>

Hi,
  There is a textbox in the application that accepts only numeric data.   
When I try to input data through Watir into this text box, an alert window popsup saying ' Value should be numeric' though data given is numeric and throws an exception saying:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3427:in `doKeyPress': undefined method `length' for 60000:Fixnum (NoMethodError)
 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3393:in `set'
 from 1000MailTest.rb:103
However when I manually input numeric data into that textbox, it accepts without any alert window.
I used the following code in my script:
 $ie.text_field(:name,"NAME").set(60000)
 
How do I handle this?
 
Thanks,
Amitha

Subject: [Wtr-general] Text box gives an Alert Window when input is
giventhrough Watir


Hi,
  There is a textbox in the application that accepts only numeric data.   
When I try to input data through Watir into this text box, an alert window
popsup saying ' Value should be numeric' though data given is numeric and
throws an exception saying:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3427:in `doKeyPress': undefined
method `length' for 60000:Fixnum (NoMethodError)
 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3393:in `set'
 from 1000MailTest.rb:103
However when I manually input numeric data into that textbox, it accepts
without any alert window.
I used the following code in my script:
 $ie.text_field(:name,"NAME").set(60000)
 
How do I handle this?
 
Thanks,
Amitha

Subject: [Wtr-general] clicking on link with same name
Message-ID: <435E1587.50601@reconnex.net>

Hi list,

I have a app which has multiple links on same page with same
name. However each of this link is associated with one more
link which identifies them uniquely. To be very specific its
the page has list of records which I can edit or delete. The
links for edit/delete have same name, but they are assciated
with record name.

Currently I have hacked way as following.
So I delete the record its name is/or like manish.


-------------------------------------------
    i = 0
    ie.frame("mainFrame").links.each { |l|
    i = i +1
    if l.to_s =~ /manish/ then
        if l.to_s =~ /delete/ then
        print l.to_s
        puts "\n#{i}iiiiiiiiiiiii\n"
        ie.frame("mainFrame").link(:index, i).click
        break;
    end
    
    
    end
    }
-------------------------------------------

Is there a cleaner solution?

Thanks and Regards,
Manish

Message-ID: <435E3996.7070906@reconnex.net>

I couldn't get away with the dialog box popped up by my application.

I tried autoit but could not get it working. Even tried simple send_keys()
function but was not sure whether it was sending the key event to right 
window.

The dialog box is not javascript dialog. Developer says it is dialog
popped up by IE using confirm() as shown below.


-------HTML Source----------

    <span class="pageNums" onMouseOver="this.className='pageNumsSel'" 
onMouseOut="this.className='pageNums'">
                        <a

Any suggestions??

What I will do with for any exception is look at the returned text for an error message. That sounds like the easy way.
 
Also I wonder is there a Ruby HTTP client library? Something like Perl's LWP? That way, when get an exception, I would do an HTTP request 
using the last URL.
 
Cheers and thanks for all the help you guys are great

There's been on going threads both here & in the general ruby-talk at ruby-lang.org mailing list.
 
IEs COM interface does not expose any of the HTTP information for the request.
 
Suggestions have included using a small proxy server in between you and the actual site and then finding some way of querying it for the HTTP information.
 
Nothing seems to have been done on that front.

Yep, it's using the old Winclickers code. Those DOS consoles popping up when
Winclickers is called drive me nuts. Good advice on .rbw - we may want to look
at doing this by default.

It does when the error code is displayed in the HTML. :-) That's what I was
getting at. If you get a 404 or 500 displayed in the page itself, you can get
it. To trap all HTTP return codes, you'll need some sort of a proxy.

net/http works nicely for me.  Probably not as high-powered as LWP,
but gets the job done.

Unfortunately you can't pass parameters to the fireEvent ... all you are
doing is telling IE that the event needs to be fired ... IE looks at the
event you requested to see if that element has a handler for that event.
 You can do the multiple criteria, without WET (yes it's more limited, but
it does work).
 $ie.buttons( :alt, "Delete Asset" )[1].click
 However this still doesn't help with the OP as much as he would like.
Truly, I would suggest getting the developers to add an id attribute to
these and name it something like delete_#{ item_id } so if the id is 84 then
the tag would ge <img id="delete_84" onClick="rusure(84)" src="...">
 It would make your life MUCH easier, then you simply code for
 $ie.button( :id, "delete_#{ desired_item_id }" ).click
 done.
 With out that, using index is your only real choice. Currently. When the
new version of WATiR hits that has XPath support, you'll be able to find it
with:
 $ie.button( :xpath, "//img[@onClick=\'rusure(#{ desired_item_id })\'"
).click # ( or something like that... )
 My XPath is rusty ... use www.zvon.org <http://www.zvon.org> ... great
online XPath tutorial.
 Anyways, the new xpath support is going to open up our world ... just gotta
wait a bit longer...

Forum:
 
I developed a test script to login using the following:
 
 ie.text_field(:name,"id").set("username")
 ie.text_field(:name,"passwd").set("password")
 
This works just fine but I had to hardcode the password. We have some concerns about clear text passwords in scripts.
 
So the question is, is there a way to create an encrypted password and store in a binary file and then have the test script read the binary file and encode the password, perhaps something like:
 
ie.text_field(:name,"passwd").setEncrypted(password.encrypted.file)
 
I did not find anything in the archive about this, but perhaps I missed.
 
 
Thanks

rot13 in Ruby:

$_.tr! "A-Za-z", "N-ZA-Mn-za-m"

Seriously, though, googling for "ruby encrypt" turns up
http://aescrypt.sourceforge.net/ as the very first hit.

Watir is really only concerned with manipulating Internet Explorer. 
Any features not directly related to manipulating IE generally have to
come from the greater world of Ruby.

error message. That sounds like the easy way.
 
Also I wonder is there a Ruby HTTP client library? Something like Perl's
LWP? That way, when get an exception, I would do an HTTP request 
using the last URL.
 
Cheers and thanks for all the help you guys are great
Pierre

	There's been on going threads both here & in the general
ruby-talk at ruby-lang.org mailing list.
	 
	IEs COM interface does not expose any of the HTTP information for
the request.
	 
	Suggestions have included using a small proxy server in between you
and the actual site and then finding some way of querying it for the HTTP
information.
	 
	Nothing seems to have been done on that front.

Where would you store the encryption key? How would you store it? As clear 
text?

The common solution to this problem is to put the passwords in a separate 
file that is not stored with the scripts. This avoids hard-coding.

   require 'passwords'
   ie.text_field(:name, "passwd").set($user_password)

Your suggested use of encryption sounds like waving a magic wand without 
really protecting anything. I am sure that there is a way to do what you 
ask, but i just don't see the point.

Or, simply request the information during testing...

puts "Username: "
username = gets
puts "Password: "
password = gets # this should be a call to readline so you can hide
it, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

anyways, ... done.

Message-ID: <20051025220345.47846.qmail@web52902.mail.yahoo.com>

In my testsuite I have passed my IE instance to a variable
$ie and i have been using mostly Watir commands with that
variable
as in 
...
 def test_03_add_asset
   ...
   $ie.frame("main").image(:src, /add_asset/).click
   ...
 end
...

but on my last test case I need to close a confirmation
popup. I included WET and tried both
Browser("title:=Microsoft Internet
Explorer").Button("value:=OK").click 
and
$ie.Browser("title:=Microsoft Internet
Explorer").Button("value:=OK").click 
but in both cases that didn't work. How can I instruct the
Browser command to use the same ie instance?

thanks

$ie.text_field(:name,"NAME").set('60000') also gives alert window but does not throw any exception.On clicking 'Ok' on alert window, 6(first digit) will be entered onto the text box followed by an alert window again for the next digit.
This continues for all the digits of the number given as a string.

Hi,
There is a textbox in the application that accepts only numeric data. 
When I try to input data through Watir into this text box, an alert window
popsup saying ' Value should be numeric' though data given is numeric and
throws an exception saying:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3427:in `doKeyPress': undefined
method `length' for 60000:Fixnum (NoMethodError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/watir.rb:3393:in `set'
from 1000MailTest.rb:103
However when I manually input numeric data into that textbox, it accepts
without any alert window.
I used the following code in my script:
$ie.text_field(:name,"NAME").set(60000)

How do I handle this?

Thanks,
Amitha

You wont be able to use a Watir ie object instance in WET.

To dismiss the dialog, you could use:

Browser("title:=<your title here>").Dialog("title:=Microsoft Internet
Explorer").Button("value:=OK").click 

and it should work.

Initial Comment:
The following code:

     ie = Watir::IE.new
     ie.maximize

results in this exception:

However, this code:

     ie.goto("http://www.google.com")
     ie.maximize

works just fine.

Message-ID: <8ca48b420510260636h70cdf8c9j42d29b3c8aeb4b7d@mail.gmail.com>

Is there anyway in Watir to test a webpage to see if a Checkbox is checked
by default?

I can access the checkbox name and verfy that there's a value with the
following:

------------- BEGIN CODE -------------------

assert(@ie.checkbox(:name, "other_offers"))
assert(@is.checkbox(:value, "other_offers).exists?)

------------- END CODE -------------------

But how can I tell if the box is checked? I tried using 'set' - but I don't
think that's correct. Can this be tested?

Try this:

ie.checkbox(:id, 'checkbox_id').checked?

Is there anyway in Watir to test a webpage to see if a Checkbox is checked
by default?

I can access the checkbox name and verfy that there's a value with the
following:

------------- BEGIN CODE -------------------

assert(@ie.checkbox(:name, "other_offers"))
assert(@is.checkbox(:value, "other_offers).exists?)

------------- END CODE -------------------

But how can I tell if the box is checked? I tried using 'set' - but I don't
think that's correct. Can this be tested?

Try this: assert(@is.checkbox(:value, "other_offers).isSet?)

 

A good resource for examples like this are the unittests, which are
installed with WATIR.

 

Hope this helps,

Message-ID: <5B2AE0722B941D459DDDB2D3B09C202A861AA3@hphis1.hisdom.hphis.com>

 

Hi folks, 

 

two weeks ago I send a bug to this mailing list about undefined method `document' for nil:NilClass => Error as you can see below, and no one could help me out.

 

I've found the solution. It's quite simple. You can just launch the sentence written in Watir under your WET script. 

 

This seems to be a specific WET bug. I think that maybe useful for any other WET bugs. You can go around the bug using Watir sentences, while a fix is found in WET. 

 

I hope this could help to anyone. 

 

Cheers

Asunto: undefined method `document' for nil:NilClass => Error

 

Hi folks, 

 

I've found a weird error using WET and I'm afraid this may be a WET bug (I hope it's just my fault with code ;-) )

 

I'm trying to set either a text field and a checkbox that is found in a second level frame as following:

 

Browser("url:=http://server/app/principal.jsp").Frame("name:=frame1").Frame("name:=frame2").TextField("name:=testfield").set "Testing"

 

The focus move to the text field but it seems to fail when trying to write. This is what I get:

 

undefined method `document' for nil:NilClass => Error

 

This is really driving me crazy so I'll appreciate any kind of help with this issue and hope this help to more people. 

 

Thanks in advance

I'm stuck!

 

I have an application that generates a report-the user:

            Selects the reports tab

            Chooses the desired report

            Select the division and date interval to report on

            Clicks the Submit button

 

When the submit button is clicked a new window opens (the report itself)
with the same name as the parent window that spawned it.  I need to be
able to get that window (the report) and be able to time its status
until it completely renders.  The trouble I am having is the test
completes long before the spawned-page renders, and I need the test to
complete only after the report renders.  Any suggestions?  Here is my
test code:

 

---------- Begin Code ------------

def test0_runSingle

      openPage()

      

      $ie.link( :text, /A300/i ).click

      

      dbList = $ie.select_list( :name, 'DivBranch').getAllContents

      

      for dbl in dbList

        $ie.selectBox( :name, 'DivBranch').select("#{dbl}")

      end

       

     $ie.text_field(:name, "dateSelect").set("01/01/2005")

      $ie.button("Submit").click

      

      # Start time stamp for report

      $start = DateTime.now

      cw = IE.attach(:title, /RAPID - Reports/i)

      puts cw.status()

      assert(cw.contains_text("RAPID REPORT FOR OPERATIONS - A300"))

      $stop = DateTime.now

      

      diff = $stop - $start

      

      h,m,s,frac = Date.day_fraction_to_time(diff)

      s += frac.to_f

      puts "That's #{h} Hours, #{m} Minutes, #{s} Seconds"

 end 

----------- End Code ------------

I too am using the basic "rescue" technique, which doesn't really give
me a whole lot to work with.  I read through the technical docs[1] and
couldn't find anything more specific.  Perhaps this feature does not
exist?

I wonder what would happen if I turned on friendly error messages ..
then if rescue catches the error, could I scan the page or title to
determine the nature of the error?

Here is my "go to" method, used with
goto("http://example.org/foo/bar.html") or goto(variable).  It's
different than yours because it notices succesfully-loaded, but
redirected pages:

def goto(url)
	begin
		puts "* going to " + url
		$ie.goto(url)
	rescue
		puts ">>>ERROR"
	else
		puts "   ok, destination loads"
	end
	if $ie.url() == url
		puts "   ok, I stayed at the destination url"
	else
		puts "   warning: rewriting or redirection took effect"

Message-ID: <1e55af990510261044h252ff24ct86e9831f48659672@mail.gmail.com>

I know about contains_text() but is there some sort of contains_html()
feature, or should I build my own method to do this?

I notice html() which will output the entirety of the HTML for a page,
but is there an easy way to match text within that.

I mean to ask.. has anyone written a snippet of code which I can re-use?

you may want to look at the log4r http://log4r.sourceforge.net/ to have an oject that take care of loging your reports. It may be overkill.

Most of my test use the 'rescue => e' way	
		
example 

            expected = "hello" #some text on the homepage
		@@log.info "Expected: Home page Page"
		begin
		       @@ie.goto(homepageurl)
		     
			assert(@@ie.contains_text(expected))
			@@log.info "PASS"
		rescue => e
			@@log.info "FAIL"
		end	



I'm not sure the way below is better, here is a fragment

				begin
					assert_nothing_raised(){
						(@@ie.link(:text, link_name).click)
					}	
					@@log.info "PASS: got down to #{link_name}"
				rescue => e
					@@log.info "FAIL: did not get to #{link_name}"
				end	

cheers

I too am using the basic "rescue" technique, which doesn't really give
me a whole lot to work with.  I read through the technical docs[1] and
couldn't find anything more specific.  Perhaps this feature does not
exist?

I wonder what would happen if I turned on friendly error messages ..
then if rescue catches the error, could I scan the page or title to
determine the nature of the error?

Here is my "go to" method, used with
goto("http://example.org/foo/bar.html") or goto(variable).  It's
different than yours because it notices succesfully-loaded, but
redirected pages:

def goto(url)
	begin
		puts "* going to " + url
		$ie.goto(url)
	rescue
		puts ">>>ERROR"
	else
		puts "   ok, destination loads"
	end
	if $ie.url() == url
		puts "   ok, I stayed at the destination url"
	else
		puts "   warning: rewriting or redirection took effect"
	end
end

Is there a Watir code snippets database?

Obviously I've got the watir tests to work with.. but I'm looking for
more/different.

I learn so much better by example than instruction.. I've been
struggling with things I think are basic but which I'm not quite ready
to figure out on my own yet..  =)

Just a question can one use a Regexp object instead of mystring if one want to do pattern matching in the assert_match?

how about this?

		       assert_match("mystring",ie.html) 

			@@log.info "PASS"
		rescue => e

end

this is off the top of my head, would this work?

Ok, interpreting Pierre's example, I can come up with the code below. 
However, this always fails.  I assume I'm doing something somewhat
wrong here, but I don't quite understand what.


#---------- BEGIN

require 'Watir' # the watir controller
include Watir

# Search for text in the HTML of a page
def search_html(string)
	puts "   searching the source for " + string
	begin
		assert_match(string,$ie.html())
		puts "   ok -- found " + string
	rescue => e
		puts ">>>FAIL -- could not find " + string
	end
end

$ie = Watir::IE.start("http://example.com")

search_html(".")

# ------------ END

IT's a LOT easier than that ...
 just add
 class Watir::IE
 def contains_html( input )
 html.scan( input ) != []
 end
end
 after you do your require... now it *does* have a contains_html function.
 assert $ie.contains_html "blah"
or
assert $ie.contains_html /blah/
 hope that helps.

Jeff, does that mean that I do this? :

require 'Watir' # the watir controller
include Watir

class Watir::IE
  def search_html( input )
    html.scan( input ) != []
  end
end
def search_html(string)
	puts "   searching the source for " + string
	begin
		assert_match($ie.contains_html,string)
		puts "   ok -- found " + string
	rescue => e
		puts ">>>FAIL -- could not find " + string
	end
end

$ie = Watir::IE.start("http://example.com")
search_html(".")


Because this also fails..

There are two problems ... #1 you can't use the assert functions unless you
are building a TestCase object...

#2 you don't need the search_html function.
 just
 require 'watir'
include Watir
 class Watir::IE
 def contains_html( input )
 html.scan( input ) != []
 end
end
 $ie = IE.new
$ie.goto http://example.com
$ie.contains_html( "." )
 should return a true or false. so you could do
 if $ie.contains_html "."
 puts "Has html"
else
 puts "Doesn't have html"
end
 ... that's all there is to it... My code was meant as an alternative ...
 but any function that people send to you that contains assert won't work
without additional libraries being required.
 Let me know if my example doesn't work for you.

Just remember that the assert* functions are ONLY available two ways ...
 either do a
 require 'test/unit/assertions'
include Test::Unit::Assertions
 # now you have access to the assert* functions.
 or
 put your code inside of an object derived from Test::Unit::TestCase
 ...
 Hope that helps.

Sy,
 The best place to find examples of use for WATiR is to look through the
Unit tests it installs.
 They are very extensive and include pretty much every piece of
functionality that exists in WATiR.
 I would give precise details on where you can find these but that changes
based on #1 where you installed Ruby, and #2 how you installed Watir.
 Do a search on your harddrive for the filename "ie_test.rb" ... all of the
.rb files in that directory are WATiR's unit test scripts.

thank for metioning that Jeff, I forget that the assert functions are 
part of TestCase.

an interesting read for that is:

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUnitTest

and it states

-------------------quote--------------


      The Hierarchy

There's a hierarchy involved with unit tests. It starts at an individual 
assertion (more later), and ends at a suite (more later).

Bottom up, it looks like this:

    * *assertion* belongs to a
          o *test* which belongs to a
                + *test case* which belongs to a
                      # *test suite*

Try
   $ie.search_html(".")
instead.

Sy, note that you would probably benefit from just learning more Ruby. It's 
not the Watir code that is tripping you up, but rather the Ruby syntax. 
There are many excellent books about Ruby.

The "rescue" technique was documented in old versions of the Watir 
documentation. It is a bad idea and had been removed from the version 
currently posted to the website.

Strictly speaking, this was never a Watir feature. Rather, rescue is a Ruby 
feature, which doesn't really help with what you are doing here.

The fundamental problem is that an "error" at the http-protocol level (like 
a 404) is not a Watir error. It won't raise an exception.

Why? Because from a user level (which is the level that Watir works at) 
there is no error. The browser shows a page -- maybe it is a 404 page.

You will have to add code to check to see if you got a page that was 
different from what you expected. Sometimes a 404 is what is supposed to 
happen.

Rather, I suggest:
   begin
     @@ie.link(:text, link_name).click
     @@log.info "PASS: got down to #{link_name}"
   rescue
     @@log.info "FAIL: did not get to #{link_name}"
   end

The use of an assertion (namely, assert_nothing_raised) adds nothing.

This should do the same thing, in HEAD:

   ie.frame("mainFrame").link(:text, /manish.*delete/).click

I'm a little unclear on why you have the comparisons to both /manish/ and 
/delete/, so i'm not exactly sure if i've combined them into a regular 
expression correctly for your situation.

I think you mean alltests.rb in c:\watir\unittest. Most of the errors you 
reported look like known, intermittent problems. Eventually, they will be 
fixed.

Run the coretests.rb first. Those run reliably and should pass for you.

Is there a specific reason why you are worried about these errors?

Gene,

The first time you do "require '1_test.rb'" it will load the first file in 
the load path with this name. The second time you do a "require 
'2_test.rb'" it does nothing -- a file by that name was already loaded.

You could use unique test names to make this scheme work, but I suggest you 
use load instead of require. It doesn't use the load path.

Ah! Now i remember. This looks like some code that Paul and I paired on. I 
only understand about half of it. I suspect he feels the same way, but with 
the other half. I don't think we quite finished it.

You can look at navigate_test.rb to learn a bit about it, but i suspect 
that to make good use of it, you'll have to finish where we left off. The 
code is kind of hairy...

I'm running self-made unit tests against a web-application. The file tc_basis.rb requires three other script with test cases and runs them in a row. 
But I always get one error:

(Gah, I hate it when my emails don't get sent.. here's another try)

Thanks for your help Jeff.. I jury-rigged your example.  I have some
preferences I'm leaning towards, so I do like making the function
(easier reusability).  The below example works:


require 'Watir' # the watir controller
include Watir

class Watir::IE
	# $ie.contains_html( ) returns true/false
	def contains_html( input )
	html.scan( input ) != []
	end
end
def search_html(string)
	if $ie.contains_html(string)
		puts "   ok -- found " + string
	else
		puts ">>>FAIL -- could not find " + string
	end
end

$ie = Watir::IE.start("http://example.com")
search_html(".")

Yeah, it's tripping me up quite a bit.  I'm muddling through a lot,
but the way I learn is to interpret code examples.  I'm working
through some other stuff, but watir is a drive to learn ruby so it'll
happen in time.

What's frustrating to me so far is that I need a gui debugger that can
step through code better.  I'll need to figure scite out a bit more,
but so far it doesn't look very good.  I'll play around some more..
it'll all happen in time.

I'm looking at this looks very interesting to me 

 assert_raises(NavigationException) { $ie.goto('http://localhost:3001') } 


thanks 

If you think that we go away from the "begin assert rescue" way of doing things,
what should we move to? Would that mean as well moving away from using the  Watir::Exception?
	

Cheers

At last I got it working after carefully studying the java scripts 
unittests.
:-).
However have a question in order to understand what goes behind the scene.

Why autoit sendkey didn't work when I invoke it from same ruby script?
Is it because my current process was waiting for the modeless dialog box
to go away?

Which process does autoit attaches to? The one which is having focus 
currently?
What if my process forked using system executes first and it attaches 
the main
window of IE instead of the dialog box?

Thanks for all the help.

I've got 1 and 2 down.. I'll make a note to look into the watir tests
for instiki.. that's definitely interesting.  I've never heard of the
scripting101, so I'll look into that.

1. Unit tests for water in my case (watir installed as a gem, win2003)
are in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir-1.4.1\unittests
2. Google with:   site:rubyforge.org "[Wtr-general]" <search term>
3. http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/instiki/test/?cvsroot=instiki
4. http://wtr.rubyforge.org/s101/solutions/

Subject: [Wtr-general] My regexp is too greedy!!
Message-ID: <8E8566F46AEAB841BBDC1CB980C15D0E061FF01D@agile.allfinanz.com>

Have a small problem with the regular expression below.
In the line there's a There's a number of files in comma separated list.
I'm attempting to extract the name of the file that ends with 'local.xml'
i.e. in this case met_local.xml

The following ruby expression 
/ (.*local.xml?)/.match('xpl.xml, demoUK.xml, met_local.xml, cfg.xml')[1]
returns 
=> "demoUK.xml, met_local.xml"

What I need returned is simply "met_local.xml".
I  was hoping the space at the start of the regexp would mean I'd only get
the value " met_local.xml" upon which I could 
strip the trailing whitespace and leaved me with my file name.

I guess it's because the regexp is too greedy. Would anyone have any idea
how I could extract just the filename ending in local.xml ?

In the last fortnight there's been a serious increase in traffic on this
list.
Would that be because of the Google mention? Great stuff. Thoroughly
deserved. 

Thanks,
Mark.

Ok, so my solution was pretty straightforward.. because another
routine can catch errors already, I made that little error routine a
little smarter, so it reports the kind of error by scanning the text
of the page.

Basically, when I summon up a url with watir, it will report success,
redirect and different kinds of failure.  Wooh!  =)

Watir already has a down_load_time method:

Ie.goto('www.google.com')
Puts ie.down_load_time

I think this works when ever a page loads

Watir will raise WatirNavigationException if it receives certain urls -
it does a regexp on the url looking for

shdoclc.dll ( if I remember correctly)

This is the exception that gets raised

irb(main):013:0> ie.goto('ggg.cddfdom')

The "rescue" technique was documented in old versions of the Watir 
documentation. It is a bad idea and had been removed from the version 
currently posted to the website.

Strictly speaking, this was never a Watir feature. Rather, rescue is a
Ruby 
feature, which doesn't really help with what you are doing here.

The fundamental problem is that an "error" at the http-protocol level
(like 
a 404) is not a Watir error. It won't raise an exception.

Why? Because from a user level (which is the level that Watir works at) 
there is no error. The browser shows a page -- maybe it is a 404 page.

You will have to add code to check to see if you got a page that was 
different from what you expected. Sometimes a 404 is what is supposed
to 
happen.

hi all--

i've been trying to  write a function which dynamically finds all the 
html elements on the page and then fills the form based on the found 
html elements.

So, in compete psuedo-code, i'd like to do something like
every field in pageObject do     
    if field is textfield then
      get the name
      generate a value
      fill the field
   elsif field is button then
       / if submit then submit
   end
end.


I've tried to write a function for this in ruby but the parsing in the 
function doesn't work well (although i've yet to decipher why it doesn't 
work well).  that function looks like this:


   # Parse the web page, extracting links to images
   def parse(host)
   dict = { }
   @body= host.getHTML()
   if !@body    
    return
   end
     theTags = ['select','input']
        for x in theTags do
      tokenizer = HTMLTokenizer.new(@body)
         while tag = tokenizer.getTag(x)
           name = tag.attr_hash['name']
           type = tag.attr_hash['type']
          if name != nil then
        dict[type]=name
          end
         end
       end
    return dict
   end  



If am able to make this function I will be less tied to the particulars 
of the gui, name, etc. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong with 
the above function or having already approached this problem, suggest to 
me another angle.


Thanks-

Beth

I'll take a crack-- how about

#############################################3
string = 'xpl.xml, demoUK.xml, met_local.xml, cfg.xml'

files = string.split(', ') #comma space

files.each {|x|
puts x if x=~ /local.xml/
}
#####################################

Does that help?

Have a small problem with the regular expression below.

I'm attempting to extract the name of the file that ends with

i.e. in this case met_local.xml

The following ruby expression

What I need returned is simply "met_local.xml".
I  was hoping the space at the start of the regexp would mean I'd only
get
the value " met_local.xml" upon which I could 
strip the trailing whitespace and leaved me with my file name.

I guess it's because the regexp is too greedy. Would anyone have any
idea
how I could extract just the filename ending in local.xml ?

In the last fortnight there's been a serious increase in traffic on this
list.
Would that be because of the Google mention? Great stuff. Thoroughly
deserved. 

Thanks,
Mark.

This is pretty funky.  Parsing HTML is non-trivial.  Perhaps a
different approach?

It doesn't do it today, but I'll bet the ie.show_all_objects method
could be hacked to create a manipulable structure of all of the page
elements.

The one I sent before won't work if the filename is the first one in the
list. The only difference in this one is the first expression needs the
asterisk, but this one worked fine.

This is a problem in your windows system, which is not watir's fault.
I had
the same problem before. Please check if "DCom service process launcher" service
is running. This is a new service introduced in XP SP2, and if disabled lots
of other software will not run properly.

...

so, why not do something like

ie.text_fields.each do |currField|
  case currField.name
    when "field1":
      ... # fill in field1
    when "field2":
      ... # fill in field2
    else
      ... # fill in all other fields
  end
end

... as far as buttons, are you wanting to click ALL of the buttons ???
Are they just doing javascript things or what ???

I mean, if not, they are going to be taking you to another page, and
you won't have the same set of buttons.

Or are you simply wanting to click "any" one random button ???

I'll write that portion of things when you let me know, but the above
will deal with the text fields ...

/[a-zA-Z0-9\._]*local.xml/.match('xpl.xml, demoUK.xml,
met_local.xml,cfg.xml')[0]

should work. just add any chars that are allowed in names to the []
portion of the regex, you should be all good.

or,

'xpl.xml, demoUK.xml, met_local.xml,cfg.xml'.split( "," ).select { |c|
/local.xml/ =~ c }

which would return an array of all instances that matched in the input.

I'm not seeing an easy way to iterate over the rows &| cells in tables ...

I'm going to look into this and see what I can provide.

Anybody else have any information or suggestions?

Sorry, I read that as "there is a gui debugger".. ruby doesn't come
with one stock.  I'll take a look at this one though.. it might be
worth paying for, especially since I'm green.

no, ruby doesn't have a gui-debugger out of the box ... I don't know
of ANY languages that do.  I do like the Arachno IDE debugger ( the
one mentioned above ).

I'm not against this being doable in Ruby, but there is the COM
interface to the DOM:

ie.document.getElementsByTagName("table").each do |table|
  table.getElementsByTagName("tr").each do |tr|
    tr.getElementsByTagName("th").each do |th|
      puts th.innerText
    end
    tr.getElementsByTagName("td").each do |td|
      puts td.innerText
    end
  end
end

Or you can easily get a collection of Watir::Table objects and use those:

tables = []
ie.document.getElementsByTagName("table").each do |table|
  tables << Watir::Table.new(ie, :from_object, table)
end

tables[4].each{|tr| tr.each {|td| print td.text + "|" }; puts }
#=> "Operator|Ext|City|
Starflower|8172|San Francisco|
Melody|5673|San Pedro|
Symphony|3820|Montreal|"

Cheers,
Dave

Do you have code running before this that says ie.close?
I've seen this error in these situations.

The best workaround is to do this:

   BEGIN { require 'watir'; $ie_save = Watir::IE.new }

Although purists will find this ugly, i think this is best way to avoid 
this problem and i'm thinking of committing the equivalent to the Watir 
library.

Or use:

I hear Arachno Ruby has a good debugger. Scite is good for the first week 
of Ruby programming; then you need something better. I've used emacs and 
now use Eclipse. I don't actually use a debugger for Ruby. Instead i use 
IRB and puts. And lots of unit tests.

You may still want to use begin/rescue to catch the NavigationException, 
but i don't see any reason to put an assert in the begin/rescue/end blocks.

Something like this?

   ie.text_fields.each {|tf| tf.value = tf.name.reverse}
   ie.form(:index, 1).submit

This enters the reversed name as the value of each text field (surely you 
have a smarter idea for this). And then clicks the first submit button.

In general, i think the remote_eval method in HEAD is going to be a better 
way all around for this.

Also, i have a new idea for what to name this method: eval_no_block. Wdyt?

Just to be clear, your image does not have an id. If it did, it would say 
id=something.

>I have an image tag like:
><IMG onclick=rusure(1334) alt="Delete Asset"

In head, this should work:

   ie.image(:html, /1334/).click

It doesn't attach a process. It attaches to a window. It runs in a process.

Then it wouldn't work.

That's what we were doing to print out what was going on to a log file. I
believe assertions throw an exception on failure, so that's how we were
figuring out that an assertion failed so we could log it to a file.

What is an alternative to begin/rescue/end when we want to log results to a
file? (I still don't understand why this is such a bad idea to use.)

This is a problem in your windows system, which is not watir's fault.

Hey Chris,

	Thanks for giving it a shot. Apologies for not getting back to folks
yesterday but I sent the mail as I was leaving work. 
It works perfectly and to be honest it is the way I would have gone about
it myself if I was more familiar with the API.

Thanks again,

I'll take a crack-- how about

#############################################3
string = 'xpl.xml, demoUK.xml, met_local.xml, cfg.xml'

files = string.split(', ') #comma space

files.each {|x|
puts x if x=~ /local.xml/

Hey Don,

	Aye that nailed it indeed. I won't even begin to pretend I
understand
what the '(?:,\s)*(\w+' means at the start of the expression. 
Any chance you could fire a quick explanation or maybe point me in the
direction of a site that would explain it? I've scoured a few regexp sites
but alas I find it hard to not learn by samples and examples.

Thanks for your help,
Mark.

The one I sent before won't work if the filename is the first one in the
list. The only difference in this one is the first expression needs the
asterisk, but this one worked fine.

Subject: [Wtr-general] My regexp is too greedy!!

Have a small problem with the regular expression below.
In the line there's a There's a number of files in comma separated list.
I'm attempting to extract the name of the file that ends with
'local.xml'
i.e. in this case met_local.xml

The following ruby expression 
/ (.*local.xml?)/.match('xpl.xml, demoUK.xml, met_local.xml,
cfg.xml')[1]
returns 
=> "demoUK.xml, met_local.xml"

What I need returned is simply "met_local.xml".
I  was hoping the space at the start of the regexp would mean I'd only
get
the value " met_local.xml" upon which I could 
strip the trailing whitespace and leaved me with my file name.

I guess it's because the regexp is too greedy. Would anyone have any
idea
how I could extract just the filename ending in local.xml ?

In the last fortnight there's been a serious increase in traffic on this
list.
Would that be because of the Google mention? Great stuff. Thoroughly
deserved. 

Thanks,
Mark.

	The first one works great and doesn't return
any leading or trailing white space!! Does the job
just perfect.

/[a-zA-Z0-9\._]*local.xml/.match('xpl.xml, demoUK.xml,
met_local.xml,cfg.xml')[0]

should work. just add any chars that are allowed in names to the []
portion of the regex, you should be all good.

or,

'xpl.xml, demoUK.xml, met_local.xml,cfg.xml'.split( "," ).select { |c|
/local.xml/ =~ c }

which would return an array of all instances that matched in the input.

Hi Bret,

	Hah! That is neat Bret. I couldn't get the second one to
work but the first one was sweet as a nut. I understand that the
[^ ] means any characters that's not a space but how does it know
to return the whole word involved? 

I don't recall seeing \b in regexps before what does it mean?
Apologies for the newbiness.

Thanks,
Mark.

Or use:

You may still want to use begin/rescue to catch the NavigationException, 
but i don't see any reason to put an assert in the begin/rescue/end blocks.

The [^ ] example won't work if the the filenames are all mashed together:
 file1.xml,file2.xml,file3_local.xml,file4.xml
 Same for the \b example ...
 \b means whitespace/non-whitespace boundary.
 If you have whitespace, \b will hit when it stops ( and you start a word )
If you are in a word ( non-whitespace ) , \b will hit when it stops ( and
you hit whitespace )
 \b is really cool when you use it in split ...

The part you are most likely having trouble with is the ?: at the beginning
of the first group.
 Starting a group with ?: tells the regex engine to NOT output that group
into the matches collection.

The problem should be the same, one important service is shutdown for whatever
reasons (especially security). I am not sure how to deal with your 2000. But
you can try to manually start a few COM/RPC releated services, and see if
the script runs.
Or restore to the default startup setting for all services.

How ''bout a pre-configured Eclipse in the Watir distro?  (As Alexey
says, "ha ha, only serious".  Scite is still what I'm using, mostly
because I haven't had the willpower to tackle the Eclipse learning

Subject: [Wtr-general] My regexp is too greedy!!
Message-ID: <E008ABD5B437B54AA0EFF9D87C2457EF0BBF9E@homer.kCura.corp>

Mark,

The (?:,\s)* means it will match 0 or more (the *) ', ' (the ,\s) but it
won't include it in the matched array. The \w+ means it will match one
or more characters and then the 'local.xml' is obvious. After looking at
it a bit longer I came to the conclusion that the whole (?:,\s)* is
actually unnecessary. You could probably just use
/(\w+local.xml)/.match('xpl.xml, demoUK.xml, met_local.xml, cfg.xml')[1]
and it would work fine.

Hey Don,

	Aye that nailed it indeed. I won't even begin to pretend I
understand
what the '(?:,\s)*(\w+' means at the start of the expression. 
Any chance you could fire a quick explanation or maybe point me in the
direction of a site that would explain it? I've scoured a few regexp
sites
but alas I find it hard to not learn by samples and examples.

Thanks for your help,
Mark.

The one I sent before won't work if the filename is the first one in the
list. The only difference in this one is the first expression needs the
asterisk, but this one worked fine.

Subject: [Wtr-general] My regexp is too greedy!!

Have a small problem with the regular expression below.
In the line there's a There's a number of files in comma separated list.
I'm attempting to extract the name of the file that ends with
'local.xml'
i.e. in this case met_local.xml

The following ruby expression 
/ (.*local.xml?)/.match('xpl.xml, demoUK.xml, met_local.xml,
cfg.xml')[1]
returns 
=> "demoUK.xml, met_local.xml"

What I need returned is simply "met_local.xml".
I  was hoping the space at the start of the regexp would mean I'd only
get
the value " met_local.xml" upon which I could 
strip the trailing whitespace and leaved me with my file name.

I guess it's because the regexp is too greedy. Would anyone have any
idea
how I could extract just the filename ending in local.xml ?

In the last fortnight there's been a serious increase in traffic on this
list.
Would that be because of the Google mention? Great stuff. Thoroughly
deserved. 

Thanks,
Mark.

Something like this?

   ie.text_fields.each {|tf| tf.value = tf.name.reverse}
   ie.form(:index, 1).submit

This enters the reversed name as the value of each text field (surely
you 
have a smarter idea for this). And then clicks the first submit button.

The other method would be to modify the test harness to do the logging. 
That's a little more work, except that you only have to do it once, instead 
of having to instrument every test. It's not necessary when you are first 
learning a tool, but it is necessary (in my opinion) when you want to put a 
test suite into production use.

There are two issues with using begin/assert/rescue. The first is simply 
that many people find it confusing. It really is an unnecessarily complex 
form of flow control. Most people find if/then much easier to understand.

Secondly, it is easy to make errors that lead to undetected failures. These 
are tests that actually find a problem but then are coded in a way so that 
the notification of the problem is suppressed. Any one who is serious about 
automated testing needs to know -- be certain -- that their tests don't 
contain these kinds of errors. Personally, that means that i only use 
begin/rescue in code that i have unit tests. (There are few begin/rescue 
blocks in the Watir library that others contributed which don't have unit 
tests. I added an item in the tracker that we need to add tests for these.) 
It is too easy to make a mistake, so you really need to have unit tests. I 
never write unit tests for regular tests, so that means that i avoid this 
kind of coding in my tests.

The technical terms for these kinds of errors is false negatives (although 
it is hard not to think of them as false positives) or type II errors. I 
have called these errors silent horrors, because that is easier to remember 
and presents a more apt figure.

False alarms (failures caused by bugs in tests) are, too some degree, 
unavoidable with automated tests. But silent horrors (passes causes by bugs 
in tests) truly impugn the integrity of a test suite. I once found a silent 
horror bug in a test suite. When i fixed it, hundreds of tests that had 
been passing were now failing. In this case, the problem was that their was 
bad data in the tests. And the test framework was just ignoring bad data. 
It was only when i corrected the framework to fail tests with bad data, 
that we came to realize that the scope of our achieved testing was actually 
much less that what we had thought.

In fact, i have found the potential for silent horrors in almost every test 
suite that i've ever reviewed. This is why i discourage the use of 
begin/rescue unless it is being used with rigourous unit testing. And even 
then, it should only rescue the specific Exception in question. An open 
rescue clause is another red flag.

Hi Brett-
The solution i came up with may be the long way around, and i can see 
some problem areas which need to be worked out, but essentially what i 
did was bastardize the show_all_objects to make a write_all_objects 
function, then parse and submit the resulting page with the following  
functions:

class WebPage
   # Parse the web page, extracting links to images

   def newpass(len)
    chars = ("a".."z").to_a + ("A".."Z").to_a + ("0".."9").to_a
    newpass = ""
    1.upto(len) { |i| newpass << chars[rand(chars.size-1)] }
    return newpass
   end
   
   def parse(host)
   dict = []
   newDict= []
    $i=0;
    $ie.write_all_objects("pageObject.txt")
    File.open("pageObject.txt") do |file|
        while line = file.gets
        dict[$i]= line.split
        $i =$i+1
        end
       end
       $j=0
            for x in dict do
               if x[0] == "text"  || x[0] == "checkbox"  || x[0] == 
"submit" || x[0] == "select-one" then
                 newDict[$j] = x
             $j=$j+1
               end#if  zeroith x is text
               #puts newDict
        end# every item in the dictionary
     return newDict
  end# parse page object
 
  def fillPageForms(host,newDict)
        for y in newDict do
        $id
        $value
            if y[1].include? "name" then
                $id =  y[1].gsub("name=", "")   
            elsif y[2].include? "id=" then
                $id =  y[2].gsub("id=", "")
            end
            if y[3].include? "value" then
                $value= y[3].gsub("value=", "")   
            end
            #check for field type
            if y[0] == "text" then
                  if $value != ""  then
                 host.text_field(:id, $id).set($value)
                else
                 host.text_field(:id, $id).set(newpass(8))
                end
            elsif y[0]=="checkbox" then
                host.checkbox(:value,$value).set
            elsif y[0] == "select-one" then
                host.select_list(:name, $id).select_value(/1/)
            elsif y[0] == "submit" then
                 if $value != "Clear Form" then
                       host.button(:name, $id).click
                  return
                 end
            end# check for field type
        end # for item in newDict   
   end  #fill page forms
end # web page class


I'd love comments and feedback.

Thanks--

Beth

Thanks Bret.


Thanks for the full explanation. I tend to agree about using begin/rescue/end in
code in general, but didn't think of the implications for the unit tests. I
thought that if the assertion failed and we got a silent horror, we would get
that message as well which would cover it. However, when logging to a different
file we may not get that information from Test::Unit and carry on our merry way
not knowing there was a problem.

I agree on the silent horrors - I see this kind of thing in every almost test
automation effort I've worked with. On one project I was on several years ago
with a well-known capture/replay tool, this was rampant. To management (who had
spent many thousands of dollars on the tool), the tool providing passing results
trumped the manual testing by skilled testers that demonstrated the silent
horrors the tool code was missing.

One thing that you're touching on here (and have written about at length
before), and I think is something that Watir brings to the forefront:
automated testing is software development. As such, our automated tests are
subject to the same problems as any other software. This is a really tricky
thing to get right, and there are traps we can fall into easily when we don't
apply the same kind of rigour to automated test development than we do with
software development.

Thanks again Bret.

Forum,
 
I have a scenario where a security alert dialog box pops up and I need to select the yes button. I have not been able to figure out a way to select these the buttons in these security alert dialogs. Does anybody now how this might be accomplished.
 
Thanks

Currently I would suggest using an external script and AutoIT.  It
should be able to find and manipulate the dialogs you are asking
about.

Here is how got read of my dialog box....

..
..
..
execute_and_click_dialog('DialogPressHelper'){

..
..
..
-----------------Main script ends------------------

require 'watir/WindowHelper'

helper = WindowHelper.new
helper.push_alert_button()
----------------------DialogPressHelper.rb....ends----------


Check out push_security_alert_yes() in WindowsHelper.rb in Watir
sources for exact solution to you problem.

Hope this helps.

Fair enough, and definitely it's worth doing better.

I wonder if the HEAD version of watir has all or part of this feature,
or whether your solution to this could get merged.

Cheers,
Dave

It's too big to include in the Watir Distro. Eclipse is 90 MB itself, while 
Watir is only 800 KB.

The best way to learn Eclipse is by pairing with someone who already knows 
it. That's how i learned it.

Dave,

A problem that both variaions will have is with nested tables. This is 
because if table B is in table A, the rows in table B will also be listed 
as belonging to table A. I don't think this is your intention.

Message-ID: <005701c5dde2$5f9f7400$3824a8c0@jameswangneu>

Hi,
  I am a newbe and came across a problem about accessing frames.

  my tested page likes below:
<FRAMESET ROWS="40,*,81" FRAMEBORDER="NO" BORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0">
  <FRAME SRC="head.htm" NAME="topFrame" SCROLLING="NO" NORESIZE >
  <FRAME SRC="main.jsp" NAME="mainFrame">
  <FRAME SRC="foot.htm" NAME="bottomFrame" SCROLLING="NO" NORESIZE>
</FRAMESET>

when I ran ruby code like "ie.show_frames" and got Access denied error!
Why?I don't think this problem has something to do with cross-site problem.

Anybody can help me?
Thanks in advance and best regarding!

Message-ID: <9C0BD1E3DAF1204D842D72E2DCE2A04ED1D43C@EX5V.rl.gov>

Are there unittests or other examples for the partial modal dialog
support in 1.4?  I have searched the threads concerning this subject and
most of the messages are about popups and not IE windows lauched as
showModalDialog, or showModeless.  I have been able to do some of what I
need using AUTOIT but it is not consistent and occasionally gives me
other error (RPC and on blur).

 

Thanks,

I seem to remember a conversation about this, but I couldn't find it
in a cursory search of the mail archive:

Every time I click on the IE close box, the IE windows disappears, but
I still have an "iexplore.exe" process running.  I need to manually
end this process in Windows Task Manager in order for subsequent Watir
tests to run properly.

Is there an automated way to really, really kill this iexplore process?

You can use a tool like pskill for windows, but you'll need to know the PID.

Any idea what causes this?  I'm pretty sure an explicit ie.close won't

It looks like we will have the go-ahead to convert some SilkTest scripts
to WATIR (finally!).
If someone in the community has done this before or have some ideas as
to how to approach this, 
I would appreciate hearing from you.
I am doing a high overview plan to lay out what steps we need to do and
I am wondering how to structure
WATIR in such a way that maintenance of the scripts and adding on new
test cases will be easy.
I suppose a good example is the unitTests to start out with?

Windoze magic. Maybe it's sun-spots, phases of the moon, fluoridated water... ;)

I'm really not sure. My Outlook sometimes does the same thing and it is
annoying. Maybe a Windows programmer will pipe up with an answer that is
actually useful.

Yeah, in some cases I've seen what you describe occur on certain machines. Sorry
I don't have any usable information for you.

Subject: [Wtr-general] CookieManager::WatirHelper ... ???
Message-ID: <b539c61e0510311633n98395c8ice54aa46fc2a31dd@mail.gmail.com>

I went looking through the Unittests for Watir and I couldn't find one
testcase/example of use with the CookieManager.
 So, I dug around a bit, and when I thought I'd figured it out, I'm getting
a "can't load Dir::Find" ...
 Can anybody shed some light?
 I'd like to clear my cookies ??? Is there an easy way?

What does it mean if you use:
 ie.show_spans
 
and get back
 
Found 43 span tags
1   id=      class=mh_text_red
2   id=      class=
3   id=      class=
4   id=      class=
5   id=      class=
6   id=      class=
7   id=      class=
8   id=      class=
9   id=      class=
 
.

43 id=   class=
 
Why would it not return the id's?
