[wtr-general] where was the send method placed in?

[bugs apple]

In the locator.rb for watir api, there is call that execute the
element.send(@how) method like below,
but I fail to find the send method in element.rb,

anybody can tell where it is and which rb files?

 def locate
  object_index = 1
  @elements.each do |object|
element = Element.new(object)
if @types.include?(element.type)
  if @how == :index
attribute = object_index
  else
begin
 puts @how
  attribute = element.send(@how)
rescue NoMethodError
  raise MissingWayOfFindingObjectException,
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] is an unknown way of finding an  
element (
[EMAIL PROTECTED])"
end
  end
  if @what.matches(attribute)
if @value
  if element.value == @value
return object
  end
else
  return object
end
  end
  object_index += 1
end
  end
  return nil
end

[wtr-general] Re: ERROR installing watir

[Tim Koopmans]

Dang, can't take my own advice =)

I've created an MSI based on Windows XP SP2 with Ruby 1.8.6 and Watir
1.5.6 here:
http://justaddwatir.com/watir/wp-content/uploads/watir_156.msi

Feel free to try it out, no guarantees of course ... There is also
some brief instructions for use here:

[wtr-general] Re: HOW TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF DEVELOP THE WATIR CODE

[bugs apple]

Even if I go through the JAF code, but the discoveryobject.rb still does not
work in Watir Environment, maybe it was banded in FireWatir.

Have you any other suggestions?

Thanks

[wtr-general] Re: Bug Fix For Watir 1.5.6

[bugs apple]

Yes, I known this but I want to get it work.

*Hi, more watir developers,*

Another questions about the email title, there are two issues below I am
very concern.

a, For the bug ticket in jira, http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-193,  on
our tested system, there are lots of duplicate objects, which are equipped
with the input tag, it seemed for me now to not identify them using the
index attribute, so, i want to know when fix and release it?

b, pls see the script below,
ie=Watir::IE.attach(:title, /QTP/)
ie.text_field(:name => "test").set "abb",
it throws the exception when execute it, in the following version, whether
the object support the hash data structure for "How" or "What"
attributes or not, even if there is only one element(key-value) in hash?
such as:  h=hash.new, h={:name=>"test"}, ie.text_field(h).set "Just a test",

who can give me some tips and I have to solve it for these urgent issues, or
provide some similar ideas ?

[wtr-general] Re: ERROR installing watir

[Tim Koopmans]

Indeed, it's a chicken and egg scenario =)

I used to package applications into MSIs; I've often thought about
rolling my own msi to take from site to site, as the organizations I
work in rarely have unauthenticated access to the internet. However
doing it via a batch file works well for me. An MSI would just
introduce version problems if watir (or its dependencies) are
regularly updated. Would still consider doing this though if it's a
common problem to the community ...

Cheers,
Tim Koopmans

Thanks Bret, your comment works.
I mistake the parent as parentNode, so I always failed.

Hi, Aidy,
Would you please show your idea more detailed?
I think your idea may be useful sometimes.

[wtr-general] Re: ERROR installing watir

[Bret Pettichord]

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.

This happens to me a lot. Try installing from gem files downloaded

Check out the comments section for recent example.

[wtr-general] Re: Identifying Tabs

[Tiffany Fodor]

Hi!

When I've worked with tabs in the past, the text the user clicks on in
the tab is usually a link.  Try something like this:

ie.link(:text, 'Tab 1').click

Hope this helps!

You should download and try "IE HTML Element Spy" or similar product(s).
Good luck.

'Tabs' doesn't mean much to Watir I think, because there is no such thing as a 
tab HTML element (for example  doesn't exist in HTML), it would help us 
and you more if you could tell us if the tab is contained by a , , or 
 element or some other element.

[Tiffany Fodor]

Hi again!

I didn't realize your site was public, so I gave it a shot myself.
The username and password on the http://www.fotolog.com homepage work
fine, but I'm having the same problem with the password field on the
http://account.fotolog.com/login page.

If you find a way around this, I'd be really excited to learn how you
did it - this problem drove me nuts!

I don't think your problem is related to your object being embedded in
a table, I think there's a protection on it that doesn't allow
automated tools to access it.  You can verify this by just performing
a .exists? on your object to make sure that Watir can see that it's
there.

Also, if you're not using it already, command-line IRB is a great way
to troubleshoot working with objects.

[wtr-general] Re: How to locate an INPUT element embedeed in a table

[Tiffany Fodor]

Hi Natasha!

I've run into the same problem with password confirmation fields when
adding a user in an application.  If the field will not accept focus
from Watir, you may need to see if you can get your developer to
change the properties on it.  I tried everything I could think of and
even solicited help from several experts on the list with whom I could
share my private URL.  In my case, there was no way around the
protection on the field.

Off the top of my head, the things I tried were:

- using each property available to identify the field
- using the field index to identify it
- using send keys to tab to the field from a known location and type
in it

If none of these work for you, I suggest you work with your developer
to get it changed.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

-Tiffany

[wtr-general] How to locate an INPUT element embedeed in a table

[Natasha]

Hello All,

I am trying to automate Fotolog's login page. Please could you help
me.

Following is the snippet of HTML code:
---



Username:



Password:




Login


http://account.fotolog.com/
forgot_password">Forgot your password?


-

I need to automate the typing in user name and password, followed by
clicking on login button.

I have tried following sets of codes, but it didn't work.

1.  Accessing text type fields using aftertext attribute

$ie.text_field(:aftertext,/Username:/).set("user1")
$ie.text_field(:aftertext,/Password:/).set("pwd1")
$ie.button(:text,"Login").click

2. Accessing text fields using name attribute

$ie.text_field(:name,"u_name").set("user1")
$ie.text_field(:name,"p_word").set("pwd1")
$ie.button(:text,"Login").click

Am getting following error:

WIN32OLERuntimeError: focus
OLE error code:800A083E in htmlfile
  Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not
enabled, or o
f a type that does not accept the focus.
HRESULT error code:0x80020009
  Exception occurred.

[wtr-general] Re: Bug Fix For Watir 1.5.6

Hi Wiston,
The text_field element does not support multiple-attributes as of now.
So, that is not unusual to get error with hash parameter.

For the current version, the watir support the hash data for the multiple

In fact, I want to the hash varible for parameter transferring after package it

If you are just hooking onto one attribute use

ie.text_field(:name, "test").set "abb"

for > 1
ie.text_field(:name => "test", :id => "aidy").set "abb"

or

ie.text_field(:name => "test", :index=> 1).set "abb"

or something like that

[wtr-general] Re: ERROR installing watir

[Bret Pettichord]

Here is some information here about installing Watir from behind a proxy.
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Installing+ruby+gems+from+behind+proxy+firewall

Watir now depends on several other gems, so it will be complicated to 
try and download and install them them all locally. You will need to 
find out how to make the Proxy install work. Thousands of other users 
have been able to get this to work, so please be persistent. This is a 
general feature of the Ruby Gem system, and not Watir specific.

[Paul Rogers]

you should be able to look in the wait method of Watir::IE and see
what we poll for to see if the page is complete. There are 2 poperties
that contain this info, one for the document and one for the window (
frames probably have one per doc)

its called something likie readyStateComplete

[wtr-general] Re: Open-source in test automation

[alex.ikhelis]

Hi Zeljko, Pete, Aidy!

Thanks a lot for your replies! These are good references!
To Zeljko: much appreciate your consecutive and useful response.

Just to be on the same page. I was not much clear in my original post.
I have already been watching watir community for 1 year. And now I
have came up that I would like to systematize my theoretical knowledge
from high-level understanding, like: main motivation to open source
test automation, what are the common requirements of building
frameworks, typical tricks and best practices. And then going down to
concrete examples, problem solutions and implementations (where I
already have some experience).

Thank you!

[wtr-general] Bug Fix For Watir 1.5.6

[bugs apple]

Bret, aidy, and watir developers,

Another questions about the email title, there are two issues below I am
very concern.

a, For the bug ticket in jira, http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-193,  on our
tested system, there are lots of duplicate objects, which are equipped with
the input tag, it seemed for me now to not identify them using the index
attribute, so, i want to know when fix and release it?

b, pls see the script below,
ie=Watir::IE.attach(:title, /QTP/)
ie.text_field(:name => "test").set "abb",
it throws the exception when execute it, in the following version, whether
the object support the hash data structure for "How" or "What"
attributes or not, even if there is only one element(key-value) in hash?
such as:  h=hash.new, h={:name=>"test"}, ie.text_field(h).set "Just a test",

who can give me some tips and I have to solve it for these urgent issues, or
provide some similar ideas ?

 At last, Thanks aidy for your reference about the object repository, and I
feel free to research into it.

I am pretty sure you can do it with xpath, but I am not good at it. I would
Google for xpath tutorial.

Alister,

gems at that page are really old. Maybe you should remove them.



Ranulfo,

Download watir from here (and follow Alister's instructions):

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104&release_id=22799

Direct link to the newest gem:

[wtr-general] Re: Ruby integration with TestLink

[Natasha Ranney]

Thanks a bunch for sharing details.
   
  Actually I haven't yet thought about the exact implementation. I have 
recently started using Watir and am maintaining my tests in XLS. But I wanted 
to use any open source test case management tool which helps me organize my 
tests, allows me to execute tests selectively and then generates some reports 
like number of tests cases and test execution results.
   
  I am aware of TestLink, but have never used it exhaustively. Also I knew it 
can be customized as its open source. Hence have been thinking that it may be a 
good option to try out. Now that Manish has given me some pointers, I will 
check it out and get back with some more queries.
   
  Thanks and regards,
  Natasha

Natasha, there's an API already available which you could use as a

execute test cases. To update, you could just use the sample ruby

that you're looking to implement? If so, it might be worth mentioning
so some of us can have a hack at it =)

[wtr-general] Re: Need help with input type : p (paragraph)

[Natasha Ranney]

Hey Paul,
   
  It worked :)
   
  I just tried simulating it in a way things happen manually. I had actually 
tried the same thing yesterday, but was accessing the element by wrong method.
   
  So, following is what worked for me:
   
  $ie.p(:id,"pTypeHint").span(:index,"1").click
 $ie.text_field(:id,"txtLine1").set("Testing template postcardFooter\n Using 
blue color\n using center align \n Using New baby icon")
 
   $ie.p(:id,"pFooterHint").span(:index,"1").click
 $ie.text_field(:id,"txtLine2").set("Testing footer")
 
Thanks,
  Natasha
Paul Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
  
this type of thing is quite common. What I think is happening is that
the textfield is not displayed, and the p is displayed so the text can
be styled better. Ive never worked on ine of these before, so can only
speculate on whats happening. If you can, Id work with one of your
developers to see what they are doing.

When you say it doesnt work - can you elaborate on what happens - is
there an exception etc?

Hi Manish,

If you have time, it would be great if you could share your solution
you talk about on a wiki page.
You can create a page with the example under:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Advanced+Examples
Screenshots would be good too.
