[wtr-general] Help with Watir Page Checkers

2010-03-02 Thread yoggy 
Hi,

I am currently testing a web app that depends on some sort of
webservice to be running in the background and i find the web service
goes into an unavailable state frequent, so i thought it was best i
use watir page checkers so that as soon as the page under test is
loaded, i can check for either 4xx or 5xx errors and the test should
just stop and not continue.

This is what i have done

def navigate(page_name)
  begin
browser.goto(http://www.xx.com;)
browser.check_for_http_error # will throw Exception
  end
  rescue Watir::Exception::NavigationException = e #catch the
Exception
puts Page did not load: #{e} # = 'Cannot find server or DNS
Error'
end

I have a test structured in way that

1. The navigate method is called
2. Then some other checks is done on the page

What i expect is that the tests should terminate at line 1 , and give
an error message  'Cannot find server or DNS Error'

But this doesnt work, the test continue to line 2 to do some
assertions which then fails but i would love to be able to catch the
error at line 1.

I have also tried

def navigate(page_name)
   browser.add_checker(PageCheckers::NAVIGATION_CHECKER)
begin
browser.goto(http://www.xx.com;)
  end
  rescue Watir::Exception::NavigationException = e #catch the
Exception
puts Page did not load: #{e} # = 'Cannot find server or DNS
Error'
end

And i also tried excuting the code in irb, it prints false to
screen, I would appreciate any help

You are rescuing the exception, hence the script is not terminated. You
should do something like this:

def navigate(page_name)
  browser.check_for_http_error
rescue Watir::Exception::NavigationException = e
  puts Page did not load: #{e}
  raise
end

Re: [wtr-general] Re: execution expired

2010-03-02 Thread windy 

I just see the source code of watir's ie.wait().
according to your description,the doc should load completely.

i think there maybe a activex control that can't be loaded or not loaded.

please check the page code if it like this: 'new activex()'.

at last,you can test it directly again but not from proxy.

hope it is useful for you.

Windy, thanks a bunch.
toutval is currently set to 30s and 40s respectively. The url is an
internal test page with just 9 images in it. I tested the url manually
from the same machine and it loads within 1-2s. I should say that we
are actually using watir+browser to test a proxy server so there is a
possibility of an error there. However, we already looked at the proxy
logs and it shows that it already sent all the images back to the
browser.

you should test the url manual,or increase var 'toutval'.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Watir freezing when clicking on links

2010-03-02 Thread Frank Harper 
Thanks for your feedback Adam. In my case there are about 500 pages being
loaded. It seems to be more of a VMware issue though because sometimes a
regular filedownload that I have initiated manually will hang also.

I noticed that the problem got much worse when I started using Watir in a VM
that is stored on a server (I.e. the virtual disk file is on a file server).
My Watir tests haven't ever hung when I'm running them on a physical machine
rather than a VM.

 Is there a chance you're testing a great number of pages?  My only
 experience with this behavior was for testing around 20k pages in one
 script -- Internet Explorer would always croak after 5-8k pages.  I
 switched to WWW::Mechanize for that script and it ran to completion.
 My tests were also on VMware boxes.

 Thanks,
 Adam

  When this happens my script will hang (infinite wait?). In this case if I
  manually click on the link, it unhangs the script.
 
  Up until now, I have only seen this happen when running Watir on a VMware
  virtual machine.
 
  I was wondering if anyone else has seen this happen? Could it be a timing
  issue? Are there any known workarounds?

Thanks so much. After some experimenting, it looks like
fire_event(mousedown) does the trick

Much appreciated!

  Doing the .click

 You probably have to fire a JavaScript event. Something like this:

 $browser.cell(:class = /available/, :index = 1).fire_event(onmouseclick)

 Ask the developer which event should be fired. Event Spy Firefox add-on
 could help too:

[wtr-general] Confused about array declaration failure (rspec, watir)

2010-03-02 Thread Adam Reed 
This script works, but only if I explicitly define the array that I'm
iterating over (][countryname, url]].each do, rather than
@countries.each do).  In a nutshell, the script goes to a static page,
collects the links, visits each linked page and verifies an item - it
has been significantly dumbed down for the purpose of this question
and I have tested this simplified version to make sure it gives the
same output.

Can someone help me understand why my array here (@countries) is not
recognized?  I tried to instantiate it as a global variable
($countries) and it still was not recognized.  Is it an issue with my
organization/format, or something else?

 Again, if I explicitly describe an array in place of the
variable, the script works .

global_page_spec.rb
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 ==
__FILE__
require 'helpers/example_helper'

describe The country page for do
  include ExHelper

  before(:all) do
setup
collect_global_countries
  end

  @countries.each do |name, link|
describe name do
it should contain the word #{name} in the title do
  @browser.goto link
  @browser.div(:id, /content-content/).text.should include(name)
end #it
end #desc
  end #countries

  after(:all) do
teardown
  end #after
end #spec

example_helper.rb
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 ==
__FILE__
require 'helpers/global_helper'

module ExHelper
  include GlobalHelper

  def setup
@browser = Watir::Browser.new
@browser.add_checker lambda {|b| b.text.should_not include('The
requested page could not be found.')}
  end # setup

  def collect_global_countries
@countries = Array.new
@countries.should be_empty

@browser.goto http://www.#{$env}.com/global;
@browser.table(:class, /global-list/).links.each do |link|
  @countries  [link.text, link.href]
end #links

@countries.should_not be_empty

  def teardown
@browser.close
  end # teardown
end #module

The Error:

global_page_spec.rb:12: undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass

Hi!

Each time a new version of Firefox is released, the jssh extension has
to be recompiled for it.  You may not have the right version of the
jssh extension for your version of Firefox.  You can get it here:

Hope this helps!

[wtr-general] Re: Jssh exception message?

2010-03-02 Thread hliauw 
Tiffany, thanks. I haven't upgrade my firefox for a while. and the
thing is I have other 20+ tests using firefox and they all have no
problem.

The only difference is that in this particular test I have require
'firewatir' statement twice. one in the test file, and another one in
the watir method wrapper file. I put Timeout wrapper for all watir
method that I used (was facing some reliability issue, but that's
different story).
Anyway, I removed the duplicate require 'firewatir' statement and that
seems to fix the issue.

I am not sure why that cause an issue. Shouldn't this be handled via
if __FILE__ == $0 at the top of page assuming firewatir.rb has it.
Anyone knows?
