[wtr-general] Re: clicking on a link, with certain parameters changing every time
I think you have a few potential solutions
1) talk to your developers about making this thing more testable, e.g.
assign something like an ID or Name value to that link in the HTML, it
won't be visable on the page, but it would make it easier to select
the right link. I don't know your app, but potentially this could be
a very simple change for the developers to make and could vastly
increase the testability of the product.
2) don't get the link by index. You obviously have some idea what
makes this the 'right' link, and it seems to center around the URL
value. So figure out how to express the pattern of the 'right url' as
a regular expression, and select the link by :URL using that regular
expression. (watir devs, I'm not nuts right? that should work
shouldn't it?)

Then in irb:

Glad to know that helped. Now you are at the point I am at. There
are several of us working to see if we can resolve the problem. It
appears that the same Ruby / Watir combination works for some people
and does not work for others as far as handling the javascript
popups. Because of this, we think there is some system setting that
makes the difference rather than it being strictly a Ruby and Watir
problem. If you have any insights on this, please share them.
I will try to answer some of your questions. First the normal click
that brings up the javascript popup is blocking. The script cannot
proceed until the popup is dismissed. If the code to dismiss the
popup is in the same thread, it stays that way forever (well you know
what I mean). The click_no_wait is non blocking, which allows your
script to continue with the routine to dismiss the popup.
So, the short answer is that just click won't work for something
that brings up a popup (I'll add the qualification that it does work
if you create a separate thread to click the popup. I only mention
this because there some examples floating around that do that. I do
not want to lead you too far astray if you find one.) So the
preferred method of clicking something that brings up a popup is
click_no_wait. Unfortunately, what I am seeing is that the button
flashes but no popup ever comes up and the routine to click it times
out. I have had a little success with click!. click! is also not
blocking. That works one time for me but not the second time in the
same script.
I think the confusion about the page and page container has to do with
confusion over the term page. The cucumber page is not the same
exactly the same as the Watir page. Beyond that, I cannot offer
much information. Just be aware that although people use the same
name for things in different programs, they might not mean the same
thing.
Try the click! on the button that brings up the popup and see if
that works for you (since it sounds like the click_no_wait doesn't
work for you) and let us know your results. If you figure anything
out about system settings that might affect this, let us know. If I
find out anything else for you, I'll post it here.

That got me further.
Now I have a question about click_no_wait. When I use just 'click', I
get a popup with an OK and Cancel button. When I use click_no_wait, I
am now not getting any popup. If I use sleep right after
click_no_wait, does the browser keep going so I would expect to see a
popup?
And no, the OK button is not getting clicked to clear the popup.
Here is the code.
roles_page.roles.row(:name = Test Role).col1_element.click
#click on checkbox
roles_page.bottom_delete.click_no_wait
# shows confirm dialog (only working if I use click)
sleep 5
startClicker
(OK)
# try to click OK button, doesn't work
and startclicker is now
def startClicker( button_label , waitTime= 9, user_input=nil )
# get a handle if one exists
hwnd = nil
begin
hwnd = SITE.browser.enabled_popup(waitTime)

puts Trying to click on + button_label
w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd( hwnd, button_label )

# this is just cleanup
w=nil

On a side note, why is enabled_popup defined as part of PageContainer
if it is meant to be called from a browser object only?

OK, too bad you did not include this originally. I think I know what
the problem is. At least I see something that is a problem. You
have:

hwnd belongs to the browser, not the page, so you have to reference
the borwser object like:
hwnd = $ie.enabled_popup(waitTime)
or change $ie to browser, or whatever you have defined as your browser
object.
I am doing something similar with Cucumber and I am having trouble
with this. It successfully dismisses the first popup I hit but does
not work on the second. I hope it works for you. Let me know, I am
still trying to figure out the difference.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir users: What is your role at work?
George, that's interesting that you want to migrate more into development. The person who wrote most of our Watir scripts (and did a good job with the design, I think) was a Perl scripter before he came to us, and while he is still working as a tester / test automation guy, he wants to move back into development. The tester we hired after he left, who also did a lot of work on the Watir scripts, decided to learn Java and be a developer so that is what he has done (still on our team). So I can't help wondering if someone who succeeds with Watir is always going to be someone with a strong desire to do programming. I personally love automating test scripts, but I wouldn't want to write production code. I can't explain why that is (I used to be a programmer, back in the pre-OO days). I'm trying to do most of the Watir work now in fear that our latest new tester might go through the same transition! Just joking, but she also has a strong programming and automation background. I think that's really required on a small team like ours. -- Lisa On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 9:46 AM, George george.sand...@gmail.com wrote: Charley, speaking on that spectrum, I'm just getting into real programming, and would like to slide more towards being a real developer while retaining and building on my testing skills.

So is it fixed, did it recur, is my installation broken, ???
I've coded around it using element.attribute_value() but I really
wanted to use the xpath instead.

[wtr-general] Re: FireWatir bug using exists? on a form element with xpath
Apologies, that code just demonstrates that xpath isn't working right.
I was trying to use .exists? in my code, but the example just is to
demonstrate that the xpath doesn't work at all. If you try to
do .exists? on a form element using xpath, it fails the same way.

[wtr-general] Re: How to send a mail from outlook express using watir
The initial question that occurred to me is why you are trying to automate
the sending of an email with Outlook Express. Why not leverage Ruby to send
the email without the additional complexity of trying to figure out how deal
with Outlook Express. Bringing Outlook Express into the equation just seems
painful to me.
Beyond that, to address your original question, it might help to break down
the problem into manageable parts. First, create a script to send a simple
email.then, start worrying adding the complexity of sending content from a
log file.
