[Wtr-general] Java port of watir

[Jonathan Kohl]

Very cool.  I've been helping a similar effort in C# which is getting off
the ground nicely.
 
My dream in pre-Watir days was to have multiple tools in different
programming languages.  As I believe Bret said, the best language for
testing is the one the programmers use. :)

Subject: [Wtr-general] Java port of watir


Myself and a colleague(Brian Knorr) have created a new automation framework
called watij.  Its watir............but in java.  We actually have written
the framework to use roughly the same api as watir.  For example, a full
test in watij looks like: 
 
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import static watij.symbols.Symbol.*; 
 
public class GoogleTest extends TestCase {

    public void testGoogleSearch() throws Exception { 
       IE ie = new IE();
        ie.start("http://www.google.com <http://www.google.com/> ");
        ie.textField(name, "q").set("XWiki");
        ie.button("Google Search").click();
        assertTrue(ie.containsText( "/Java wiki engine/" ));
    }

}
 
We have released a beta version and you can read more at
http://watij.xwiki.com <http://watij.xwiki.com/>  We have linked to watir on
our site and have also stated that watij is watir.........but in java.  We
love the flexibility and robustness of watir but wanted a pure java version.
We would love to get feedback from anyone.  The waij.xwiki.com
<http://waij.xwiki.com/>  site has a quick guide to get started and watij is
also packaged with a preconfigured version of beanshell that allows you to
get started prototyping immediately. We have also setup a google group for
watij: http://groups.google.com/group/watij.
