Code included Message-ID: Hi, FireWatir release was like "freedom of soul". I needed something like watir to run on my linux system and firewatir solved that problem. However, while working with firewatir, I found it to be very slow. Initially it was tough to figure out as to what could be the problem. From the code it seemed like there was lot of communication happening between firewatir and jssh server. eg. Say for accessing a textbox, firewatir will first ask the browser about the textbox element and then send the events. Similarly for each and every element user requests for, will make firewatir to talk with the browser. Keeping this in mind I created a sample code which deals with this issue. Its available for download from http://www.geocities.com/chesschintan/rufire.tgz The code first downloads whole html page and uses htmltokenizer to create various textboxes, buttons and other elements. This reduces a lot of overhead. Though it has one drawback. That is if after opening a page using ff.goto(), the user manually opens another page using firefox then the code would fail. However its a kinda very rare case. Second noticable thing was the way firewatir implemented read_socket(). This seemed to be a major cause decreasing the performance. However while testing, jssh protocol was found to be kinda misbehaving. Simple socket.gets() or socket.recv() doesnt work. May be thatz the reason which tempted author to implement read_socket() in a reliable manner sacrificing bit of performance. But socket.sysread() is a beautiful socket method which worked for me. After doing the above two changes code worked with charm even beating (watir) IE performance. Rufire supports only textbox, radio, buttons and checkbox elements. Its not a complete code. I made it just for the sake of testing with above two changes. You can copy test.html available in the .tgz to localhost webserver and test using test.rb file. Currently it lacks one feature of knowing whether hml page has been loaded in browser or not. Add a sleep statement with good value in Firefox.goto() just in case you wanna test it against a heavy website.

Just press [F8] to see the output pane and press [F5] to run the script. The output pane shows you the output that you would normally see in a command window. No need to run it separately.

The Ruby breakpoint package is a great "debugger" What you do is add code like this: require 'breakpoint'; breakpoint And then when that line is executed, you get dropped into IRB at that context. Install breakpoint thus: gem install ruby-breakpoint When you use this technique to definitely don't want to be using F5 to run your scripts in Scite.

Message-ID: Hi there, I'm new to Ruby and Watir, but not to programming or HTML. At the place I work, we're looking for something to do our testing with. I'd like to use Watir because it's open, and I've been wanting to learn Ruby for a while. If I can show that Watir will do the job for us, I think the project manager might accept it. The app has a nested frameset with a javascript driven menu in the bottom left frame. I am able to select my desired menu item, but I can't seem to click it, or trigger the javascript correctly. The web page: ----------------- 1 ----------------- 2 | 3 | 1 = PanelTop 2 = PanelLeft 3 = PanelRight The menu is in PanelLeft and looks something like this: + Groups & Users + Authorities |----Authorities Configuration + Reports ie. Authorities Configuration is a sub-menu item of Authorities. I need to click on Authorities, then click on Authorities Configuration This is the HTML arround the Authorities menu item.
Authorities <------AUTHORITIES TEXT
My line of code to try to access it is currently ie.frame("PanelLeft").cell(:id, "id_certificateauthorities_root").fireEvent("onClick") This highlights the Authorities text on the page, but it doesn't open the menu. Perhaps I need to also FireEvent the following span's onclick as well? Any help is appreciated.

There has been some experimental code packaged with Watir to deal with popups with limited success. A good popup handling solution is being worked on and will be included in a future Watir release. In the mean time, AutoIT is installed with Watir. Look at "jscript_test.rb" in the unittests directory, and search the mail list archives for more information.

We are still in an evaluation stage of both Watir and Selenium but after several years of fighting with SilkTest (and Segue support) I am finding both tools fun & refreshing. Thanks for your hard work! I have two questions. The first involves xpath performance. The pages for the application I'm testing are pretty large, the one I'm working with now has about 3500 html nodes. Lots of nodes that I need to get at don't have names or IDs so I've been using XPath. Its great in that I can get at anything on my page but the downside is the performance. Typically one statement with an XPath locator will take 25-40 seconds to execute on my page. Is this normal on a page of this size and is there anything I can do to improve the performance? Second, due to the XPath performance issue I was starting to look at using ole_object method. I'm trying to execute the following statement in my Watir script: ie.cell(:text, "Reassign").ole_object().parentElement().parentElement().click() I want to go up 2 levels from the td containing "Reassign" and click that element. I know that the cell is found successfully as I can flash it but when I execute the statement I get the following error: undefined method `parentElement' for nil:NilClass c:/Watir/examples/scratch.rb:17 I'm guessing this means the ole_object() method is not returning anything. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Greg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The simplest is to open a file and write to it like this: logfile = open("filename", "a") logfile.puts "This message will go to the log file." # ... logfile.close Or if you want to use something a bit more advanced, use Logger, that's part of the standard library. The main advantage, I think, is it makes it easy to separate error messages from warnings from debugging info, and it can also rotate logs. http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/logger/rdoc/index.html Cheers, Dave From angrez at gmail.com Tue Apr 11 00:13:20 2006 From: angrez at gmail.com (Angrez Singh) Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 09:43:20 +0530 Subject: [Wtr-general] XPath performance and ole_object questions In-Reply-To: <20060408232405725.00000007792@gmcshea-pc2> References: <20060408232405725.00000007792@gmcshea-pc2> Message-ID: Hi Greg, The first involves xpath performance.

I think site_ruby installs take priority over gems. (It's been a while since I looked into it, but RubyGems isn't that complicated, and you can read the RubyGems version of require at ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\rubygems\custom_require.rb.) You can load a specific gem version using "require_gem lib_name, version" - like this: require_gem 'rails', '1.0' Or you can use conditional versions, like ">1.0" or "<1.0". But this is, of course, only if you have the gems installed!

For example: 1. I'm on /mailings/new.tml, enter data and click SAVE. 2. For a couple seconds, I am directed to a "message page" (e.g. /scripts/save_confirmation.tml) which informs me that "Your Mailing Has Been Saved", and then automatically redirects me to: 3. /mailings/view_approval.tml Now, watir tends to handle pages not yet having completed loaded marvelously. It's one of many things I love about it...but it needs a bit of instruction to handle these intermediary pages. In order to make it through, we added: while @ie.url != url sleep 2 ...but to my surprise that was still failing every 3rd or 5th iteration. (Watir would tell me it couldn't find the link, but when I look at the page the link is indeed there, suggesting to me that watir gave up looking for the link before the page had finished loading. I added an additional sleep 2 after the while loop exits (see wait_for, below)...and instead of dying on the 5th iteration, it lasted 112 iterations. I could certainly give it an even longer sleep, but that's just getting uglier and uglier, and I wonder if it'll still bomb out eventually if the browser or server slows down further under load. Any suggestions? Is: while @ie.url != url true once the url in question /finishes/ loading, or as soon as it /starts/ loading? It seems to me that perhaps the latter is true, in which case I am back to the old problem of my script giving up before the page finishes loading. I've pasted the whole script below. I could certainly pass on the html of the page under test, but it's a long mess of conditional javascript, so I'll wait for someone to tell me it'd be useful. Thanks, Jeff class CREATE You might try something like: def wait_for( url ) while @ie.url != url next unless @ie.status != 'Done' break #probably don't need this line... end #while end #def I have used ie.status() before when an intermediate page had to load first. It appears that this method stops flow until 'Done' and then continues, but because I am not sure I used the next/unless statement. There is probably a better, more ruby-ish, way of doing this but who can argue with success, right?! ;-P Hope this helps, --Mark -----Original Message----- From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Fry Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 6:14 PM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: [Wtr-general] waiting for page loads after intermediary pages The application I am testing uses intermediary pages and redirects for messages.

The ID of the object perhaps?) from 2 Value we set it to from 3 Validate (??Again Cant remember what that is? The ID of the next object perhaps?) from 4 And finally what we expect to see from row 5.

It is mostly reliable.

It takes me one line to enter a date into the input field and continue, while it could take me over a dozen lines to do the same thing using the popup calendar control. Bells and whistles, man.

The project manager was convinced before I mentioned the possibility of integrating via NUnit. While easy VSTS integration would have been nice, the fact that using Watir was much easier to use was the final winning factor. -- Michael Moore ------------------------------- www.stuporglue.org -- Donate your used computer to a student that needs it. www.ubuntu-utah.org -- In Utah?

One thing that I would recommend to you would be to spend some more time looking at the objects on the page to try and understand exactly how the tabs are placed on the page. For example, in one of the web applications that I work with the tabs shown are actually laid out within two nested tables. By using IRB and various tries at "ie.table(:index, #).flash" I was able to find the table that holds the clickable tab graphics and links. I also discovered that there were extra, blank columns that I needed to avoid. My actual script code looks something like this: ---- # Find out how many Tabs are showing. (Column count - 2 ) / 2 = # Tabs tab_count = ($ie.frame('MainWindow').table(:index, 2).column_count - 2 ) / 2 tab_count.times do |x| # click the tabs to find the desired page # The clickable 'tabs' are in columns 2, 4, 6... $ie.frame('MainWindow').table(:index, 2)[1][2*(x+1)].click rescue true sleep 1 break if $ie.frame('MainWindow').span(:id, /foo/).text == 'bar' end ---- It took me a few minutes to work out the math, but the pattern was repeated throughout the application so it was time well spent. There might be different ways to do this, but that's what I came up with at the time. I'm just offering this as an example. You will need to figure out how your tabs are laid out on your application's web page and find a good way to script the steps. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that if I can click it with a mouse, I can automate it with Watir! Good luck! Paul.

However, i think one thing you should understand is that Watir works with HTML elements. Tabs are not HTML elements themselves, but rather are made out of them using divs or links or spans or a combination of elements. Different applications do it differently, so you will need to figure out how your application creates tabs to use Watir with it. That means looking at and decyphering the HTML. Or maybe sending it to us, so we can help.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: It might be helpful if you described what it is you are trying to accomplish. I have a feeling that there are much easier ways to get what you are looking for than the approach you are taking. Then method I mentioned previously will in fact work for your line. It would look like this: if (todosdocs[i.to_s].send(propertie) == value That said, a couple of quick notes on the code example: 1. Other than the browser object, it does not appear from the code sample that there is a need to make other variables global (starting with $). 2. You can create the array vector_fobjects simply by saying vector_fobjects = [] You can certainly do Array.new instead, but there is no need to create the object first and set it to nil. The same goes for the vector_search variable. 3. As someone else noted, you have not initialized todosdocs anywhere Again without knowing exactly what you are trying for, you might try this: # assume you have $browser some defined and initialized someplace def ENRA_FindObjects(propertie, value) return_vector = [] all_objects = $browser.document.body.all all_objects.each do |obj| return_vector << obj if obj.send(propertie) == value end return_vector end HTH, Keith (You will of course need to test this ?

Message-ID: Hello Keith! The sample code you wrote works just fine! I hadn't understand the .send until I saw it on your example.. And the tips for the Array creation and the iteration of all objects with .each |do| really like me.. As you can see from my code I'm more of structured programming, but I hope to develop a more Ruby style in my code... and definitively you and many more people in this list are helping!

It might be helpful if you described what it is you are trying to accomplish. I have a feeling that there are much easier ways to get what you are looking for than the approach you are taking. Then method I mentioned previously will in fact work for your line. It would look like this: if (todosdocs[i.to_s].send(propertie) == value That said, a couple of quick notes on the code example: 1. Other than the browser object, it does not appear from the code sample that there is a need to make other variables global (starting with $). 2. You can create the array vector_fobjects simply by saying vector_fobjects = [] You can certainly do Array.new instead, but there is no need to create the object first and set it to nil. The same goes for the vector_search variable. 3. As someone else noted, you have not initialized todosdocs anywhere Again without knowing exactly what you are trying for, you might try this: # assume you have $browser some defined and initialized someplace def ENRA_FindObjects(propertie, value) return_vector = [] all_objects = $browser.document.body.all all_objects.each do |obj| return_vector << obj if obj.send(propertie) == value end return_vector end HTH, Keith (You will of course need to test this - I tried something similar in irb and it looked like it would work) On 4/18/06 3:27 PM, "Rodrigo Julian Martin" wrote: Hello Keith! Thanks for the quick answer, but I'm afraid that this is not what I'm looking for... I have written a function which search objects from a page, passing a propertie and a value as parameters... This is the function: def ENRA_FindObjects(propertie, value) $vector_fobjects=nil $vector_fobjects=Array.new j=0 alldocs=nil alldocs=$browser.document.body.all count=$browser.document.body.all.length $vector_search=nil $vector_search=Array.new for i in 0..count-1 do if (todosdocs[i.to_s]."#{propertie}=="#{value}") $vector_search[j]=todosdocs[i.to_s] j+=1 end end return($vector_search) end So, I load a page with a browser, and execute this function with, let's say: array_objects=ENRA_FindObjects("className","button") I hope the question is more clear now... How can I write this properly? --> todosdocs[i.to_s]."#{propertie}=="#{value}" , In order that the propertie could be defined by a parameter? Thank you so much for your time...

I know that the cell is found successfully as I can flash it but when I execute the statement I get the following error: undefined method `parentElement' for nil:NilClass c:/Watir/examples/scratch.rb:17 I'm guessing this means the ole_object() method is not returning anything. What am I doing wrong? It could be that the call to ole_object() is returning nil, or that the first call to parentElement() is returning nil. When you say "up 2 levels" what do you mean? do you mean the table containing the row containing the cell? Another approach you can take is to do something like this: # click on the row containing the Reassign cell ie.rows.find {|r| r.cell(:text, "Reassign")}.click Bret -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Unless I'm reading it wrong, you should be looking elsewhere in the HTML source. There are many different html elements that you can look for (e.g. tables, spans, divs, images, etc.). While the "SCRIPT" section that you sent may _look_ relevant, I don't see anything there that would place those functions or links anywhere on the web page. In fact, there isn't anything even in the code snippet you sent that links them to the labels that appear in the screenshot. Have you tried SpySmith? What does the source code look like when you [ctrl]+[right-click] on a 'tab' in your page? That should give you a better clue as to how the web browser sees and displays that element. Hope this helps. Paul.

In-Reply-To: <62d9246f0604190852r37e0ff17t38f40ff4cf76151d@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <01fc01c663ef$09fc2190$6601a8c0@Koko> (I got these in direct mail.) This application's main Web page appears to be 455,745 characters long. I open it locally, so it's not like network latency is an issue. When I try to flash the first text field in it, a few seconds pass, the field turns yellow; a few more seconds pass, the field turns white; a few more seconds pass, the field turns yellow, and so on. I suspect that this is because walking the DOM for the page takes a long time, even at speeds on the orders of gigahertz. When I try to enter some text data in the fourth text field, the call to do so takes six seconds for the call to return. I compare this to, say, the text_field on the Google home page; the response is instantaneous. On your page, show_all_objects takes three seconds or so to return. The list was so long that it scrolled out of my screen buffer at 300 lines long. I tried 1024 lines; still scrolled off. I tried 2048; still scrolled off. 4096 lines did the trick. There are 809 hidden fields in the page. Many of the destination URLs are hard-coded .js files to your desktop. One of the issues related to using button(:some_symbol, some_id).click is that the tab buttons aren't buttons. As Bret suggested, they may be accessible via cell or div or span tags, but I didn't have the patience to figure out which ones. You've found a bug: the page is so complex as to be untestable with Watir. ---Michael B. _____ From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Anil Kumar Das Sent: April 19, 2006 11:53 AM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Unable to Click on tab - any workaround??

The absence of the actual source code on which you're trying to work doesn't help either; you're not telling us the HTML that you're targeting (or you're asking us to solve a problem with no data). There's a pattern here. Tell Watir which tab you want to click, or show us the HTML source code that you'd like analyzed, and things might get better. ---Michael B. _____ From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Anil Kumar Das Sent: April 18, 2006 4:17 PM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: [Wtr-general] Unable to Click on tab - any workaround??

I created a script to populate the form providing it with a Hash of Label => Value and the YAML, the labels are the actual labels the user sees in the page, making it easy to generate test data. The Id and Name are taken from the HTML and used in the watir commands as needed. example Hash: testCustHash = {"Sales Customer Name" => "Test Company", "Legal Names" => "Test Legal", "Other Names" => " Test Other", } example Command: populateForm(myTestHash, myTestYAML, ie) -- which iterates through the Hash, finds the appropriate entry in the YAML and populates the field as desired. (I have a populateForm and a populateField -- the populateField does a single field, and the populateForm does the entire page with multiple calls to the populateField method) The populateField method calls the appropriate watir mehtod or a helper method if needed to populate the field/page for me. Some of my fields bring up 2nd IE windows to do the entry (calendarWidget, Address mini-form, multi-value selects etc), so I created helper methods to populate these too using the same engine, only this time I trigger the action that brings it up first and then populate . The trigger is usually a jscript(onClick) event on a button, image or link object. I build a command to trigger the event based on the Helper entries in the YAML. (Example provided below because I think there was another question about this topic earlier in the week where this might be applicable -- to use this I call eval(cmd) elsewhere in the script) def buildJscriptCmd(fieldYaml) @symbol=fieldYaml["HelperSymbol"] @id=fieldYaml["HelperId"] @helper=fieldYaml["HelperType"] @cmd="@ie.#{@helper}(:#{@symbol},\'#{@id}\').fireEvent(\'onClick\')" end I see this as a viable framework to help the team be productive producing working scripts early on while learning Ruby and Watir, without having to mine the HTML. I also think it allows for easy maintenance if the pages change, I can update in the YAML and the scripts should be pretty good to go. YAML also is very flexible, I can add/remove attributes if I identify other test modes that I'd like to support, I could add a required attribute to identify all the required fields for example, or dependency if fields are dependent on others, etc. This can even be done at runtime using the YAML library I believe if your app so demands. I'll probably extend my framework to use YAML to wrap the verifications too at some point, to improve maintainability. I also envision using rubyFit or something like it to drive this in the future. Sorry for the book, just thought I'd share on this topic. :-) _____ From: wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:wtr-general-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Bret Pettichord Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 11:18 AM To: wtr-general at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Application Map I am thinking of adding a Map class to Watir.

It's quite possible that they have been designed not be to be scriptable specifically to prevent scripting-based attacks from being able to directly manipulate the security dialogs. There has been little or no work in this area with Watir since 1.4.1. Look at our code and see if you can find a solution using Autoit or the direct calls to the Windows API. Frankly, Watir's support for windows non-web modal dialogs is limited and not terribly reliably. Fixing it was originally in the Road Map for 1.5, but it may get deferred.

It's quite possible that they have been designed not be to be scriptable specifically to prevent scripting-based attacks from being able to directly manipulate the security dialogs. There has been little or no work in this area with Watir since 1.4.1. Look at our code and see if you can find a solution using Autoit or the direct calls to the Windows API.

The important fact you need to understand is that directory that contains this file and the current directory (i.e. ".") are not necessarily the same. If you do this: > cd unittests > ruby core_tests.rb then they are the same. However, you can also run them this way: > cd \ > ruby c:\workspace\watir\unittests\core_tests.rb (assuming this path is where the tests are.) Now the current directory is "c:\". The code is written so that the TOPDIR is correct no matter how the tests are run. 2) Line two prepends './..' to the Ruby load path > - I don't understand the design choice behind this. i.e. I don't know why > the first two lines can't just be squished into this one line - as in: > $LOAD_PATH.unshift './..' > ( I must be missing something important further down the scripts that I > haven't gotten to yet. ) > The two lines could indeed be combined in one. In other Watir tests, this in fact is what is done. But note that it is very important that they are prepended. Typically, you simply append something to the load path. That ensures it is in the path. Prepending will ensure that *this particular version* is what is loaded (i.e. tested). If it was appended, it would be testing the version of Watir installed, not necessary the version that is in the same hierarchy as the tests. (In fact, this would almost always be the wrong version when you are making changes to Watir.) 3) skip line three for the moment.. > > 4) Line four changes the current directory to the parent of the current ( > i.e. essentially 'cd ..') > No. It changes the current directory to the parent of the *file* regardless of current was.

Thanks. > Looking over the script now, it seems to me that line four is superflous. It was important when creating the all_tests array (in setup.rb), but it is not important when consuming it (all that matters then is the load path, which has already been set up).

I want to print the contents of each of the rows of the outermost table using t.row_values(i). I'm trying this: for i in 1..t.row_count() print i, ": ", t.row_values(i), "\n"; end however t.row_count() is returning the total number of tags inside the outermost table. In other words, it's identifying the right outermost table, but it's considering child-table's rows as it's own. I found this bug: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2177&group_id=104&atid=487 but don't understand how to implement his implementation. Do I edit the ruby script that currently has row_count() in it, and replace it with his implementation?

I'd like a bit more control over what output I actually save to file. For instance, the web app under test has frames where some of them return the 'Access is Denied' warnings. I'd like to weed out all that crap.. err, noise.. and just see the test summary. The output request was actually a requirement from my boss. He asked to have an output that just summarises the tests run and doesn't output anything else unless something goes wrong. Since I can't prevent the 'Access is Denied' warnings from appearing in the console, I'd like to find a way to just redirect the Test Unit information to a file and ignore everything else. P.

Message-ID: <37c405480604251422m228f6cb6vf7ae0413de833299@mail.gmail.com> Most of my Watir scripts generate their own random inputs (content and length), but I always have to specify an upper limit for each data value specified. For example, a Create New User page has the following HTML for a User Name input field: and the script writes to it with the following code: # Input a username that is at least 5 characters but no more than 50 chars in length $ie.text_field(:name, /UserName/).set( random_input( 'text', 5+rand(46) ) ) So I have to [manually] specify in the script that it should contain no more than 50 characters in length (i.e. upper limit of 5+45). I would like to know if it is possible to have Ruby/Watir automatically read the 'maxLength=##' attribute and assign that value to a variable that I can then work with in the corresponding input commands? If I can do that, then my scripts will be even more independent and free to generate their own inputs of random length based on what the HTML says a field's upper limit is. I couldn't find anything in the Watir API Reference that looked like it might do this. Could we add a feature to do this if there isn't a way now?

The semantics of require is that it won't load a library if it has already been loaded, but if you are loading the same file but using a different path in your require statement, require will think it is a different library and load it again. If it has constants you will get warnings about redefining constants.

The RubyFit framework looks pretty good. I've talked to its author, Giulio Pascatelli, and he said that he was going to release a gem shortly. To my thinking, the really useful Fixture is the Do Fixture. RubyFit is an implementation of the Fit 1.1 spec, which does not include the Do Fixture. Rather that is defined as part of the FitLibrary. I am talking to people about seeing if we can get that implemented. On the other hand, i was able to do 90% of what a Do Fixture does using the Systir testing framework. That feeds in a test from a plain file rather than an html table, but i was even able to create a simple converter (from a table to the systir format) using rubyful-soup (this, by the way, is an excellent html parser and gives me lots of ideas about how Watir could be better.) In fact, i'm wondering if i couldn't create a SystirFixture that would allow a Fit table to be executed by a Systir driver....

This is why we wanted watij to follow the same (roughly) api as watir. We actually are porting all of the unit tests as well so that we can gauge our progress. To this point we have ported well over 100 tests from the watir unittest library. We have downloaded the latest from watir so that we can port the latest and greatest. The prepackaged Beanshell is also cool. If you have java 1.5 installed, you can have watij up and running in < 3 mins. Check it out at http://watij.xwiki.com. Again, feedback is greatly welcomed.

The details of this suggestion are below. But first, some background. The wtr-general mailing list On several occassions the Watir community has clearly indicated that it did not want to see separate lists for users and developers. Instead we have a common mailing list called wtr-general hosted at Rubyforge.org. This mailing list is open to anybody and only accepts posts from members. It is very active and encourages discussions of testing with Ruby whether or not Watir is specifically being used. List maintenance is minor; mostly it consists of approving occassional posts that have either large attachments (over 40 KB) or are from members who are using a different email address from their subscription (although i wouldn't mind another volunteer to help with this). The biggest drawback to the list is the difficulty of searching the archives. However, this is a less of a problem than it used to be because we've added a search feature to the project web page, and the list is also mirrored to another site with better archiving. For further details, see http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general The Current OpenQA Watir Forums The standard Open QA hosting arrangement includes two web-based forums, one for users and one for developers. These were set up for Watir when we first set up at Open QA, but they have gone largely unused and neglected. According to the Open QA website, there are also corresponding mailing lists for these forums, but in my discussions with Patrick, I understood that these haven't actually been set up. He also tells us that he can synchronize forums with existing email lists hosted at other sites. These forums have the advantage of being easy to browse and search for casual users. They also have an interesting feature that allows tracking which questions have been answered and who is answering the most questions. And they offer RSS feeds, which offers an alternative way of tracking a discussion without subscribing. For details, see http://forums.openqa.org/category.jspa?categoryID=4 The Proposal I am proposing that the current wtr-general mailing list be mirrored at OpenQA. The Watir community has recently requested that we create a new mailing to handle support of the Watir code currently in development (namely Watir 1.5 and FireWatir). I am proposing that a new list be created at Rubyforge (wtr-development) and that it be mirrored by a new forum at OpenQA (Watir Development). The following is a detailed action plan for how to make this all happen. If this plan is approved by the community, i will work with Patrick and Charley on the implementation. Setting Up Watir General 1. Delete the Watir Users and Watir Developers Forums. 2. Create a new Forum called Watir General. 3. Set up Watir General to include the traffic from wtr-general. 4. Get the pre-transfer archives of wtr-general from rubyforge and have these placed in the Watir General Archives. Setting Up Watir Development 1. Create a new mailing list wtr-development at Rubyforge. 2. Create a new Forum at OpenQA called Watir Development. 3. Open up the list to new subscribers. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What Is It? RuMBA will allow a watir like script to access muliple browser types - IE, FireFox etc. It will work cross platform, allowing linux and mac to be supported. Ive done enough work to think that it will work the way I expect. There is no code currently checked in. How Does It Work? At the Canada On Rails Conference in Vancouver on April 12, David HH ( the creator of rails) demonstrated some technology called Armageddon. While this is not currently available in Rails, Ive found a similar library that will allow me to do the same thing. I expect to move to Armageddon when it becomes available. Argageddon and Aflax( the library Im currently using ) use FLASH to access the dom of a web page. This is typically used to provide push functionality - ie the server is able to send data to a browser without the browser continually polling the server. We can utilise this to set fields and click buttons. The advantage is that it is cross browser, rather than being limited to Internet Explorer. ( its also fast - this being the biggest downside Ive seen to FireWatir) The DownSide to make this work cross browser, the html must contain the flash object and some javascript. The easy way is to have the server do this for you. If you are using rails, its easy. Other server technologies may be harder to have it work in test and easily switch off for a production environment. The other alternative is to do it client side, using a proxy that alters the HTML that is delivered to the browser. What Can you expect, and When. I expect the initial release will only allow finding elements using :id. Constructs like table(:id, 'xx).button(:id,'yy') are unlikely to be supported any time soon. Handling of javascript popups like alerts and file requesters is unlikely to be in anytime soon ( I have no idea how to handle this on linux or mac) The first release will be a simple demo of the technology, allowing field sets and button clicks, as well as retreiving some info about the page ( url, title etc) Im unlikely to have anything soon. Its summer, and Im generally very busy, which leaves me little time to work on this. However I know there is significant interest in the community and my various clients are also interested in having support for firefox too. Help Wanted. If you have some specific knowledge, particularly in linux or mac areas I would be interested in hearing from you. If you are able to test this on OS other than windows, I would also like to hear from you. If you have some spare time and have ruby and javascript knowledge, Ive got a big list of things that need to be done. If you can write documentation I REALLY need you! If you cant do any of the above, but know you want to do cross browser testing, please also get in contact, as just knowing what you want to do will be a big help. For now, please contact me at paul.rogers at shaw.ca - please put rumba in the subject. How this might work. This may change, its just here to show you how this thing may work. If I have 2 browsers, one IE and 1 FF: I might type ( at IRB, ignoring all the set up ) irb> rumba.clients 1... FF http://localhost:8080/test1.html 2... IE http://localhost:8080/test2.html irb> ff=rumba.attach(:instance,1) irb> ff.title A Test Page irb> ff.goto('http://localhost:8080/test3.html') ok irb> ff.button(:id , 'abutton').click you get idea I hope Paul From raghu at qantom.com Sun Apr 30 01:39:36 2006 From: raghu at qantom.com (Raghu Venkataramana) Date: Sun, 30 Apr 2006 11:09:36 +0530 Subject: [Wtr-general] [OT] - Gem upgrade?
