[wtr-general] Re: Unable to work with IFrame
Hi Michael,
Thanks for providing a quick solution. I tried out this, but its still not
working:
Even though the iframe is existing, the following code is returning false:
puts (@@browser.frame("loginframe").exists?())
Output: false
Any idea, what could be the issue here?
Regards
Niharika

The purpose of all this automation, of course, is to allow testers to examine interesting parts of the application. Closely. At their leisure. With their eyeballs. If it's any consolation though, the CI-like testrunner script that checks out code, creates a test env, runs the tests, and reports the results: is all Ruby. As are the exploratory API tools. I like me some Ruby. Congratulations to all the Watirfolk on all the great integrations in recent times.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir doesn't work under cygwin
Brett: If you believe the win32ole.so fix is simple, please please
fix the core code so we don't have to hack watir every time a new
release comes out. I'm running the Watir on multiple machines and
there is a big overhead to editing the code directly in the field.
Also please fix the modal dialog errors, which are documented here.
http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general/browse_frm/thread/70eb6f6d6c865d64
The fix is trivial - just append "unless RUBY_PLATFORM = 'i386-
cygwin'" to a couple of lines.
Cygwin is an important platform and I know that others will benefit -
just this evening I was corresponding with 2 other cygwin users that
have been hit by the same bugs...
Thanks!

[wtr-general] Re: Including watir in ruby program
Looks like you forgot to capitalize the module name in your include statement. "include watir" is incorrect, try "include Watir", or even better remove the line altogether and use Watir::IE to get to the IE class. require 'rubygems' require 'watir' test_site = "http://www.google.com/"; ie = Watir::IE.new ie.goto test_site That's how I would do it.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir doesn't work under cygwin
I agree with #2. Watir::IE.new should be fine.
I'm also 99% sure you don't even need the win32ole.so file (it is only
needed for showModalDialog support). There is a line in the watir code
that loads this file (instead of the standard win32ole.so file that
comes with ruby).
So I suggest modifying watir so that it doesnot even try to load this
file. I need to run, but maybe someone else can help you with this.

I am setting up stuff on Vista (InstantRails and Watir) and found

[wtr-general] Watir Bug on Cygwin: Diagnosis and Workaround
On Cygwin, I ran into two separate problems that prevented Watir 1.6.2 from working. First, the 'win32ole.so' file that ships with Watir appears to be incompatible with the version that is installed with my copy of Cygwin- ruby. (see http://pastie.org/374756) An error message 'bad file permissions' was generated when trying to run 'x = Watir::IE.new' from within IRB. My workaround was to copy the 'ruby' version of win32ole.so into the 'watir' directories. (see http://pastie.org/374865) Once this was done, another error occured - relating to modal dialogs. (see http://pastie.org/374865) This was fixed by commenting out 2 lines in the Watir source code: File - modal_dialog.rbLine - 65 GetUnknown.call ... win32.rb:6 GetUnknown = Win32API.new(... Once these lines were commented out, watir worked. Ideas for fixes: - Fix the modal dialog issue with conditional execution: GetUnknown.call (...) unless RUBY_PLATFORM == 'i386- cygwin' GetUnknown=Win32APUI.new(... unless RUBY_PLATFORM == 'i386-cygwin' - Fix the win32ole issue by not bundling this file in the gem (??) - Cygwin support: either fully commit to supporting cygwin, or not I think it should be supported!!! run regression tests on cygwin before every release --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Re: scripts for IE and Firefox both
Lisa,
The problem with your code is that it is specific to both Windows and
IE. Making it work with Firefox on Windows is a medium sized problem,
but it still wouldn't help your developers with their macs. Off hand, I
wouldn't know how to start on getting this work on other platforms.
And yes, these kinds of dialogs are somewhat weird. Few apps use them
today, they are considered poor design. Nowadays developers get the same
effect using "lighboxes" which end up being modal according the strict
definition of "modal", but the look better. And they are fairly easy to
handle with Watir on both IE and Firefox (on Windows and Macs).

[wtr-general] Re: Watir doesn't work under cygwin
Couple of other things:
1) I looked at your question about the 'group' setting for
win32ole.so. I changed it's group to 'Users', re-ran the IRB session
and got the same error.
2) I had a look at Brett's blog posting - looks like the 'x =
Watir::IE.new' format is still supported. If I can get this working
I'd be comfortable using that style rather than the new
'Watir::Browser.new' style.

Arco,
>> x = Watir::IE.new
Bret's Blog on Watir 1.6.2:
http://www.io.com/~wazmo/blog/archives/2008_11.html#000288
New way to do "Watir::IE.new" is "x = Watir::Browser.new".
Maybe the file's group is wrong. It says "None" in the Pastie.

Hi Al - thanks for your suggestion.
I am running Cygwin on XP.
I tried running as administrator. (didn't know you could do that!!)
I got the same error message as I got when running under my userid.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir doesn't work under cygwin
Arco,
What OS are you running under?
I am setting up stuff on Vista (InstantRails and Watir) and found
that most things worked from administrator login, but some did
not work as regular login. Suggest try opening Cygwin window
as administrator by right click on the Cygwin icon
("Run as administrator") to open the window.
Good Luck,
Al Snow

[wtr-general] Re: scripts for IE and Firefox both
I guess I don't know enough to articulate what I'm trying to ask.
Our popups are modal popup windows according to the definition on that page,
because you can't continue until you click a button on the window.
They do the same thing on IE and Firefox.
Here is an example (it is a completely ridiculous-looking window, but the
business peeps wanted to get the users' attention).
function confirmPayrollDatesByElementId(payDateId, startPayDateId,
endPayDateId) {
if (document.forms['stagingForm'].submit != null &&
document.forms['stagingForm'].submit.value == 'Delete') return true;
var warningMessage = "*** ATTENTION - IMPORTANT INFORMATION ***\n***
ATTENTION - IMPORTANT INFORMATION ***\n*** ATTENTION - IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ***\n\nBased upon the information you entered - this
payroll contribution will be credited to the ${year} plan year.
\n\nFor consistency, it is important that you will also include this
compensation and contribution information on your employees' ${year}
Form W-2's. If this is incorrect, please adjust the payroll end date
and pay date to the correct year so that the compensation and
contribution information in your plan data is consistent with your
employees' Form W-2's.\n\n*** ATTENTION - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
***\n*** ATTENTION - IMPORTANT INFORMATION ***\n*** ATTENTION -
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ***\n";
var payDate = Date.parse(document.getElementById(payDateId).value);
var startPayDate = Date.parse(document.getElementById(startPayDateId).value);
var endPayDate = Date.parse(document.getElementById(endPayDateId).value);
return conFirmPayrollDates(warningMessage, payDate, startPayDate, endPayDate);
}
So - can this sort of thing be clickable via Watir driving a Firefox
browser?
thanks

[wtr-general] how to display results
Hi,
I am a new user of Watir and trying with google_search example for
displaying reports. But it fails. Can anyone help me regarding this?
The code snippet is as .
# the Watir controller
require 'rubygems'
require "watir"
#The main test
begin
#Create the new report
r=CLReport.new()
testReport =r.createReport('C:\\ruby\\Reports\\google_search.html')
# set a variable
test_site = "http://www.google.com";
# open the IE browser
ie = Watir::IE.new
# print some comments
puts "Beginning of test: Google search."
puts " Step 1: go to the test site: " + test_site
ie.goto test_site
puts " Step 2: enter 'pickaxe' in the search text field."
ie.text_field(:name, "q").set "pickaxe" # "q" is the name of the
search field
puts " Step 3: click the 'Google Search' button."
ie.button(:name, "btnG").click # "btnG" is the name of the Search
button
#puts " Expected Result:"
#puts " A Google page with results should be shown. 'Programming
Ruby' should be high on the list."
#puts " Actual Result:"
if ie.text.include? "Programming Ruby"
r.addtoReport(testReport, "Test Passed. Found the test string:
'Programming Ruby'. Actual Results match Expected Results.")
else
r.addtoReport(testReport,"Test Failed! Could not find: 'Programming
Ruby'." )
end
puts "End of test: Google search."
#close Browser
browser.close
#finish the report
r.finishReport(testReport)
rescue
#send crash info to report
r.addtoReport(testReport,'Test crashed with reason '$!, 'Failed',
'Test Crashed!')
#finish the report
r.finishReport(testReport)
end

[wtr-general] Re: scripts for IE and Firefox both
there are lots o different types of dialogs, most of the time you will
see an 'alert box;
done in javascript like this
alert('hi Lisa');
and you will see a box with an ok button and the words
a modalDialog displays a full html page using the showModalDialog
methd - as far as I know its an ie only feature.
so many apps wont use them, because they are IE only
Take a look at this link

Yo
[wtr-general] Re: scripts for IE and Firefox both
To clarify - our Watir scripts handle our modal dialogs in IE just fine. For
example:
def click_modal_button(ie, type='OK', sleep_time=6, timeout=20)
hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(sleep_time)
if (hwnd)
w = WinClicker.new
w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd( hwnd, "#{type}")
w=nil
end
end
I'm looking for affirmation that we will never be able to get these scripts
to work with modal dialogs in Firefox unless the test automation fairy turns
me into some better kind of programmer and I can add this functionality to
Watir myself.
I'm puzzled though - are modal dialogs weird? Do most apps not use them?
What do you use instead?
thanks

[wtr-general] Problem displaying XML file with XLS in Firefox and Safari
I am using ci_reporter to produce XML output from test runs from Watir tests. Tiffany supplied an XLS file to reference in the XML file, which works fine in IE. The problem is that when you try to view the XML file in Firefox or Safari, the file looks like raw XML. I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience with XLS and knew if you had to do something different to get it to work with Firefox or Safari.

[wtr-general] scripts for IE and Firefox both
Hi, I hope this isn't too annoying of a question. I'm just trying to decide our next steps wrt Watir and our test automation. I just thought I'd double check on what I think I know already. I spent the last several weeks getting our Watir suites working with v. 1.6.2 and Vista. I finally beat them into submission, and I'm exhausted. (This is not a reflection on Watir, but probably on the design of our scripts, and definitely on my lack of expertise). My ultimate goal was to get these scripts working with Firefox also, and I had some hope when I first read about 1.6.2 that this would be possible. However, I recall that Bret replied to one of my emails relating to dealing with modal dialogs this way: I'm saying that I do not have a plan on how to support modal dialog testing that will work with both IE and Firefox, and as far as I know, no one else is working on this. I'm wondering if this means we should abandon all hope of ever being able to run our scripts against Firefox (which would make them a lot easier to integrate with our build process, as well as easier for the developers who all use Macs to run them to help with their own testing)? The developers could run the scripts on their Parallels or VMWare, but the scripts run very slowly there for some reason. Should we be thinking about migrating to a different browser driver if we want to have scripts that everyone can use to help with testing? We have good tools for our automated regression tests, and I guess we could adapt those tests to do the same purpose of Watir, it just happened that it was the Watir scripts that got all the good flexibility that make them handy for setting up test scenarios. Do other people have automated scripts to help with exploratory testing and manual testing, and if so, what tools do you use for that? Or are other people just luckier and don't have modal dialogs to deal with?

[wtr-general] Re: Watir waits indefinitely for certain sites
watir will wait until the browser reports that it has finished, so if its still rendering, or waiting on content from code written by the javascript, it will still wait. Other things like, iframes and ajax may also affect this. It may appear to us that the page has finished, but the browser is still doing stuff. Several times there has been talk of adding a timeout on the wait code, but I dont know if anything has ever been done with it Paul On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 11:08 AM, Bach Le wrote: > > Note that the same thing happens when navigating to www.microsoft.com. > Using fiddler, I'm able to determine that my sample fully loads the > webpage in about 15 seconds.

Meaning every time in the page has fully loaded including ones loaded via external javascript. However Watir doesn't return until about the 40 sec mark which means it's waiting around for an additional 25 seconds. Something seems wrong here. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Watir waits indefinitely for certain sites
I'm playing with Watir 1.6.2 and using the goto statement to go to 'http://www.a1supplements.com' and watir seems to wait forever even though the page has finished loading and the status bar in IE says done.

[wtr-general] Re: Unable to work with IFrame
frame does not support exists?().
However, you can *monkey-patch* as followed.
module Watir
class Frame
alias_method :_locate, :locate
def locate
begin
return _locate
rescue
return nil
end
end
def exists?
return @o != nil
end
end

Subject: [wtr-general] Unable to work with IFrame
Hi,
In my application, when I click on a link it opens a "Iframe".
I am trying to verify whether the iframe appears or not with the following code:
@@browser.frame("loginframe").exist?() or @@browser.frame(:id,
"loginframe").exist?()
It throws the following error:
test_au_in_utility_panel(VideoPortal_Commenting_Notify):
Watir::Exception::UnknownFrameException: Unable to locate a frame with name

Please help in handling this.

[wtr-general] Re: Need to pick number from the text
I'd go with Rob's suggestion - use a regex match.
So your string can be:
@text = "Your are registered as a Member, we will SMS you soon. Ref
ID: 12345"
# (or any number in place of 12345...)
@refID = @text.match(/\d+/).to_s
@refID will then contain the number, returned as a string (you can
convert it to_i
if you need to do any math operations on it but I assume you don't).
If you want to make the match more precise, and the number is always
at the end of the
sentence and after "Ref ID:", you could even do something like this:
@refID = @text.match(/ID:\s\d+$).to_s.gsub(/ID:\s/, "")
This will only match numbers after "ID: " and that are at the end of
the string - it then
removes the "ID: " part and you are again left with the number
returned as a string.
