[wtr-general] Re: ERROR installing watir
I've found that the gem installer works much better if you do a gem update --system. Unfortunately this can be hard to do also (for the same reasons). On one occassion, I did this update on a machine that did not have connection problems, then I copied the entire ruby directory to my other machines. After that, the gem installer worked great.

Hi, all
As we known, pagecontainstext method could check the text that

maybe the pagecontainstext method was designed like below,
if (ie.getDocument.body.innertext =~ /#{text}/) != nil
puts true
else
puts false
end
but, that is not my expect, I only want to check the pure text, as the
label displayed on page, which is not belong to any object value or

who can provide some good way to check the text?

[wtr-general] Re: How to determine a container type from a variable assignment
Great. I hope others reading can also understand this solution and realize that it represents a general solution to a common problem that people often ask about. The problem: How do i find a page element that meets a complex set of criteria, possibly including relationships with other objects. Solution: Don't try to navigate for it yourself. Instead create a one-parameter method on Watir::Element that can detect the page element you are looking for and then let Watir find it. Please ask questions if it isn't clear when or how this technique works. Bret niartseoj wrote: Hello Bret, Thanks for taking time to help me.

The vendors don't support them so why should we, really -- and this coming from somebody who is told that he must support IE 6 because one whole division of our company will not upgrade even though they can and should. I know that it's a reality that people still write terrible web sites that try to support old browsers when they should just tell people to upgrade, but it shouldn't be required of a project used to test those websites. I reaffirm that since we have a work around, we should leave it at that and put it in the wiki somewhere for those people who must deal with poorly developed websites, especially those that use HTML and XHTML elements incorrectly. And that's why we have a wiki - we don't need to be sorry that our tool doesn't work with bad websites, and we can provide workarounds for people testing them. It just seems like a better idea than mucking up the project with stuff that isn't standard. That's my opinion, restated. This coupled with the fact that many testers cannot control and/or dictate such things leaves us between an ideal that is somewhat less than obtainable. Testers can dictate this information and have the ability to change what's going on and inform their developers that what they are doing is wrecking the site. That is one of the jobs of testers. Now depending on the company, and politics involved, there may need to be some intervention, but all companies irregardless of size, location, or power in the world need to realize that web standards help everybody and are built on the basis of being accessible, which apparently is written into law these days:http://alistapart.com/articles/politics/ Anyway, there you go, I'm a tester and a developer, but testing is my job and if I see something that isn't web standards on our site then I question it, write it up as a request/defect and then attend the meeting to help people understand it, deal with it, and get it fixed. If my company were using tables for layout, then I'd tell them that's the wrong way to go, but as it is they only use tables for tabular data.

So far so good, but IE.new_process *does* pop up the browser window into the screen before hiding it. When I was using IE.new this was not happening. No IE at all in my screen. So my questions are: 1) Is there a way to fix the hide functionality (-b) for IE.new_process ??? 2) If the answer to 1) is no, is there anyway to use IE.new and still have an isolated session so that I two different scripts running concurrently can log to two different gmail accounts?

Two things specifically: we need to make sure they don't have include Watir at toplevel and they should now have Browser.new instead of IE.new. From a site search on the include Watir issue I found, updated and checked: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/How+to+wait+with+Watir http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Simple+Ajax+examples On the IE.xxx that could be Browser.xxx I updated and checked: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Yahoo+Print+Assertions http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Yahoo+Checkbox+Test http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Simple+Example http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Google+Test+Suite http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Google+Search http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Google+Maps+Example Then I got bogged down in firefox's lack of a logger. This documentation is now quite out of date. http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Methods+Supported+by+Element This needs to be updated by reading the release notes, unit tests, and perhaps by inspecting Watir code.

[wtr-general] Re: wait_until gives undefined method error
I think the subject line is incorrect. Your problem is that your code to
initialize the browser needs to be in a startup method. The error
message you are getting is telling you that @ie is nil (because it has
not been initialized).

Surprisingly we have no unit tests for either select_list().set (as i

Hi All,
WATIR: 1.6.2
I tried creating a wrapper script after refering to the unit test
scripts.
To start with, this script:
1. Should call all or specific scripts from a folder
2. should read from a configuration file and setup global variables.
I have written a small script(setup.rb) after refering to setup.rb and
core_tests.rb under watir unit tests folder:
--
require 'watir/browser'
$user= 'test'
$pwd='test'
Watir::Browser.default = 'ie'
TOPDIR = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__))
puts TOPDIR
$all_tests = []
Dir.chdir TOPDIR do
$all_tests += Dir[*.rb]
end
$watir_only_tests = [
setup.rb,
].map {|file| #{file}}
$all_tests -= $watir_only_tests
puts $all_tests
sleep 20
$all_tests.each {|x| require x}
--
My individual test scripts start as shown below:
--
require 'watir' # the controller
require 'test/unit'
Watir::Browser.default = 'ie'
$ie = Watir::Browser.new
class test1 Test::Unit::TestCase
@@ordernum = 0
def test_a_orderPlacement
end
end
--
Current issues with it:
1. Its running the tests against Firefox, though I have set
Watir::Browser.default to ie.
2. Also it opens up 2 firefox windows, since there are 2 test scripts
to get executed. I want the scripts should get invoked sequentially.
Please advise.

Please do note that all of the examples you've found so far represent correct Ruby code. In many cases with Ruby, parentheses are optional.

My preferred ruby style is (1) not to include parentheses when they are
optional, and (2) not to pad them with extra spaces when they are used.

this is how it starts isn't it. how you rope people into working on

just wait.. I told Maura that there's docs here in need of work, and

Paul,
thanks loads. Where are you finding the documentation like that? I
was looking in the ruby user's guide and the most I could find so far
in raise said that it took a single string parameter.. so I was
scratching my head wondering how that code even worked at all.
heh OK next error..
Unexpected token - number = form.rb line 135, column 15
def flash number = 10
I'm starting to sense a pattern here... their parser doesn't seem to
be very good with the places that parenthesis are implied or optional
So re wrote it as :
def flash( number = 10 )#is that the style you folks like in
terms of where parethesis and spaces are place?)
and that got me past that one and into element.rb, line 238 column
15 with exact same error.. (same code, same fix)
Next comes ie-class.rb line 86 column 20
def initialize suppress_new_window=nil
re-wrote as
def initialize( suppress_new_window=nil )
then ie.class.rb line 98 column 20
def self.start url=nil
re-wrote as
def self.start( url=nil )
(bite me twice in same file, I start looking for more.. I find and
change
Line 104: def self.start_window url=nil

[wtr-general] Re: 1.6.2: Issue with enabled_popup.rb
The reason that enabled popup is in contrib is to indicate that it is unsupported code. I've never used Watir's modal dialog support for production testing (except for showModalDialogs, which i've used and which IMHO has excellent support). The support for the other modal dialogs needs work simply for IE much less working on how to make this work cross-platform. Some of this code is not in contrib, although it probably should be. I've always found it easier to avoid dealing with modal dialogs, so I've never had personal motivation to work on this code. I've considered removing the nascent support for modal dialogs from Watir entirely (perhaps bundling as a separate gem), to help telegraph that this code is not being maintained or supported. Perhaps this would help this code find a new owner.

Subject: [wtr-general] Please Explain core_tests.rb
Hello,
my Watir fanatic brethren...
I have been an avid Watir user for more than two years now.
But I've mostly been helping with small web applications,
with consequently small test bases, on and off.
I have a basic question to ask of you experts out there.
I'd like someone to explain to me, each line, each method that is used
in the core_tests.rb file.
I realize it doesn't work anymore after FireWatir integration. But it
seems like a good way to run
Watir scripts when you have a whole suite of them with you.
I mean, I know $HIDE_IE does. I think though that that is the extent
of it.
I'm not really sure what .join does or .unshift does or generally how
the whole script is intended to work together.
Any comments are duly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vivek.

I am determined to figure it out this sprint and we added a story this sprint to be sure we have time. It is ultimately our goal to be able to use FireWatir since 100% of our team works on a Mac. A couple of us also have PCs. I am excited about the potential, though!

[wtr-general] Re: watir help: click_no_wait doesn't actually click
My best guess right now is that it is related to IE security settings. Vista, by default, has tighter security, so this might explain why we are seeing this problem mostly (but not always) on Vista.

Now, though, it gets to the click_no_wait line and apparently does nothing. Or, not quite nothing: when Ruby selects anything, a link or a field or a button or a whatever, it highlights it yellow, and I can see that it's selecting the correct button. It just doesn't click it. In other words, if I use BROWSER.button(:id, Btndelete).click_no_wait nothing happens except the button turns yellow for a split-second; if I use BROWSER.button(:id, Btndelete).click it actually clicks (but then, of course, the popup code never executes).

Normally when you install Ruby on Windows, sets the RUBYGEMS env var to rubygems -rubygems. My guess is that when you reinstalled, for some reason this did not happen. You can do this manually and it should fix your configuration. Note to others: this solution can also work on Mac if you don't want to add require 'rubygems' to your scripts.

I'm sure there's a way for Watir to do this just like FireWatir. It just hasn't been done yet, as far as i am aware. Angrez is the author of both Watir's xpath support as well as FireWatir, so that is probably why xpath works better with FireWatir than WatirIE. Angrez, do you have anything to add here?

A patch that fixes this problem was recently submitted to the

I ran into this issue and have been able to resolve what was causing
this on Windows XP. This may not be what's causing it for other folks
but hopefully it will point them in the right direction.
We have an TeamCity server that will execute our tests using Rake on
the build agents running Windows XP. When my scripts that were
dealing with popups ran on the agents they failed every time with the
same issue described in this thread.
So what I did was take the simple Google sample and run it in a
Command Prompt on the agent directly and it worked fine. I used the
Command Prompt window and executed my full test case and it ran fine.
I shut down the TeamCity build agent service, and ran their agent
batch files directly (not the service). I kicked the build off again
and it ran fine this time.
The problem seemed to be related to the Ruby process executing under
the SYSTEM user account. I stopped running them through the service
and instead as normal batch files in the Startup and they're working
fine now. It seems like there is an issue related to the
@page_container.eval_in_spawned_process when running under this type
of security setup. Make sure whatever process is launching Ruby is
running as a normal user account and see if that resolves the problem.
Hope this helps.

Hi Michael,
Initially i also faced same problem when i use Click_no_wait control was
going but never clicked it, To come around this initially i opened the IE
(IE7)with blank page and then, i will attach the browser at the start of
the
script and continue to execute my script as usual and worked correctly.
For
time being you can fallow this turn around method.

That is disappointing.
I believe that is something like OS and/or configuration issues, rather
than watir itself.

Subject: [wtr-general] Re: button.Click_No_Wait only highlights the
button,
does not click
Sorry, Michael, your code doesn't work either. It opens the page,
highlights the button yellow, and then just sits there. No popup is
ever launched because it doesn't actually click the button. Watir
doesn't report any errors, but it never completes, either. If I
change click_no_wait to click!, it does launch the popup, but the
handle_nextpopup command never executes - it's been sitting here for
90-120 seconds with the popup open not doing anything. So, again, to
summarize: click_no_wait is incapable of firing any events, but click!
makes the script hang.- Hide quoted text -
