Re: [Wtr-general] TextField#set and utf-8

[Paul Carvalho]

I was able to input extended Ascii characters into text fields but I didn't
do it this way.  I should clarify that they were accented European
characters, not CJK.

I have a Watir script that sets up the base test data in the system. It
reads the inputs from an Excel file into an Array and then I use the array
data to populate the text fields.

I'm just looking at the data now.. it looks fine to me.  I didn't use any
special 'require' lines or KCodes.  I just let Excel worry about holding the
data I wanted and assumed the ruby array would hold and use the data I gave
it.. which it did.

Sorry if this solution doesn't work for you.  It worked for me.  You asked
if anyone had gotten it to work.  Apparently I have by not trying to
directly input the special characters.  Is that a limitation of the 'set'
method?  Dunno.

Good luck!  Cheers.  Paul C.

I want to set text field to "željko".

ie.text_field(:index, 1).set("željko")

But, Watir sets it to "§eljko", "Ĺľeljko" or just "eljko" or some other
string (depending if I try from irb, or file that is saved in different
encodings).

I have saved file as utf-8 and this to the top added

require "win32ole"
WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_UTF8

I have tried
ie.text_field(:index,1).value=("željko")

I have tried adding this to the top of the file.

$KCODE = 'utf8'
require 'jcode'

I am reading threads from this list and searching Internet for utf-8 and
Ruby, but no luck for now. I just wonder if anybody has solved this?
