Re: [Wtr-general] Click on button which isn't a button
This works, thanks! But I have a complication: our site has multiple languages and we want to be able to run the tests on all languages. Therefore I can't use the text property, because this will be different in another languag than English. Of course I can use ie.form(:name, retailLocation).submit instead, but this way I bypass the button and won't notice it when the button itself is not working. I would like to click on the div element based on index, but this doesn't seem to work? ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Click on button which isn't a button
Yep - I just got a new mockup for one of our upcoming sites that uses divs in the same way, and I used the div-click just like Zeljko shows when the index method doesn't seem to find them. However, if you're experimenting and driving around the website for a while using IRB, sometimes IRB seems to quit for me. I could specify divs that I knew existed and had previously clicked on, and they would not activate or give me an error - they'd just hang out instead. I exited IRB and started it right back up again, and they worked flawlessly. I'm not sure how common this is, but you might want to try it out.

Re: [Wtr-general] Click on button which isn't a button
If language changes I would recommend that you ask your developer to add an id attribute to div tag. Then you would not have to rely on text. If that is not the option, you can try this. ie.cell(:html, /registration/).click or ie.cell(:html, /registration/).div(:text, //).click -- ZeljkoFilipin.com ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Click on button which isn't a button
This brings up an interesting issue that came up yesterday. We have a new front-end designer on staff who was creating some mockups for a new project. I was getting familiar with his code and using watir to navigate around, and noticed that of the ~90 divs on the page, only 5-6 have unique (or any) id tags. These unnamed divs make up the primary navigation system for the site. There are no images, buttons or tables on the page. So of course, not thinking much into it - I ask if it would be possible for him add unique id tags to the major navigational elements (50% of the divs are not important to anything other than design). He replied, saying that adding unique ids to all elements would wreak havoc with style sheets, since all of these unnamed divs share the same style information. Also, for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), he needs to keep as much unnecessary text off the page as possible (although this point is debatable). In this case, where do we go from here? I completely understand his point, but at the same time I would be prevented from automating the majority of the tests on the new site. Of course we don't rely 100% on automation (probably less than 50%), but 100% manual testing requires quite more time, and produces many fewer test results. I'd be interested to hear solutions, or just comments on the issue - I know it has to be fairly common. -- Adam From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Željko Filipin Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 8:38 AM To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Click on button which isn't a button If language changes I would recommend that you ask your developer to add an id attribute to div tag.

Re: [Wtr-general] Click on button which isn't a button
Hi Adam, this is the situation we have with our navigation bar for one of our web apps. Using Watir 1.4.1 I couldn't use the 'text' attribute for SPAN tags and none of the Spans had unique ID's. What I ended up doing was creating two methods to help us navigate the system. The first one is called 'populate_navigation_bar' and the second is navigate_bar(). In the first method, I iterate through all the Div and Span tags with the desired information and put them into a Hash array. The 'values' are the index numbers. Then when I want to navigate through the system, I call the navigate_bar() method and pass it the name I want and the method clicks the corresponding element using the index number. This gives me a certain amount of flexibility in my tests because I can now select random elements really easily for each test run, navigate to the 'top' of the list regardless of whatever it's called, and other cool things like that. In Watir 1.5.x, I can now use the 'text' attribute for Spans, but I decided to keep navigating the system the same way because I have greater control this way. That's how I deal with the problem anyway. Maybe this might work for you? Good luck! Cheers. Paul C. On 16/03/07, Adam Reed wrote: This brings up an interesting issue that came up yesterday.

Re: [Wtr-general] Click on button which isn't a button
Thanks for the help Paul. I did have one question about this method, however: As far as putting indexes and the name you want in the Hash array, does this assume that the indexes of certain elements are constant through the website? The reason that I didn't use index navigation inititally was because as each div is clicked and activated, the div indexes around the page appear to change. While at first the Home div is #7, after being clicked it becomes #9. Would this throw a wrench in the gears of your script? There's a very good chance I've just missed the point, but that's how I understand it so far.

Re: [Wtr-general] Click on button which isn't a button
there is a trick you can use when using stylesheets and id tags ( i forget exactly what/why) , but there are definitely other ways and probably better ways to do it. How much time will it take for him to change the divs to use class='some_css_clss' and ad ids, compared to you finding a way round this? My guess is its going to be better for everyone if he does it correctly. Can he put names on instead? How about a custom attribute ( div id=css_hack tester_thing=id1 ) and then you do a quick hack in wastir to use testter_thing as an attribute ( thats actually pretty easy I think ) Some on the thread mentioned multi-lingual problems so they couldnt use :text - heres how I fixed that. I already had hundreds of elements coded, so couldnt afford the time to go back and change them all $lang = :french ie.div(:text , 'Click Me') .click We overrode the various watir methods- to check the $lang if its not set it uses english, otherwise it uses the specified language. Then looks up in an array ( or xml, or yaml, or whatever) and finds the english ( in this case CLick Me ) It then looks for the equivalent in the supplied language.. This way your script is still readable in English. Im sure its not the best way, but as we had lots of code already it seemed like the best way - Original Message - From: Adam Reed To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 8:32 AM Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Click on button which isn't a button This brings up an interesting issue that came up yesterday.

Re: [Wtr-general] click the button in form
Hi Boominathan,Please, do not take this as a personal attack to you, but it would be better if you did not reply if you did not want to help. Ban posted a perfect request for help. He posted a description of his problem, html code, watir code and error message. And it was short enough. He did not post nothing irrelevant to the problem. He kept it short and posted all I needed to reproduce his problem and solve it. I remember how I was surprised when I saw that watir sees gt; as and it was not hard for me to solve it because I am familiar with html. Ban (maybe) is not, so a minute of my time probably saved him a lot of time. So, he can do his job, earn some money and buy me a beer if we meet sometime. But, we will probably never meet, so he can buy that beer to his developer. But enough about beer. What I wanted to say is - I like watir because it is great tool, and I like the people that use it. They seem friendly. I would like to have a beer with any watir user I meet. But, I started about beer again. What I wanted to say is (second iteration) - I get sad when I see a post that is not friendly (not rude or something, just not friendly).This post got pretty long. Once more - please, do not take this personally. I did not mean to insult you. Just, if you think somebody posted a stupid question, please do not answer in a non friendly tone. In my opinion, it is better not to answer. ZeljkoOn 9/12/06, boominathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi,first u write correct frame name and button name.
