So it is not possible to access using something like brow.element(:id,xxx) or brow.object(:id,xxx) or something similar.

Hi,
After you launched your script via the runner app, did it seem to execute
successfully? (I'm assuming you used the google test suite that's displayed
on the main page of the app after it's started...) Or did the script you
attempted to launch not run?
The behavior you saw is normal if a test suite takes a long time to
complete - the viewconsole page (the one with the header Console output:)
will refresh itself every 2 seconds while a test is running.
But if a test suite finishes and the viewconsole page keeps refreshing,
it's probably because the script being launched does not use Test::Unit.
The viewconsole page waits for one of the result lines seen in Test::Unit's
output to appear in the output...but if that line is never seen then the
refresh will recur until the browser is closed.
I wrote that part a really long time ago when depending on Test::Unit
seemed like a reasonable idea. :) In hindsight the app should simply stop
refreshing the viewconsole page as soon as the script completes.
Thanks

Hi, Charles and other Watir experts,

rails app wiki:http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Rails+test+runner
+example+app
is what I am looking for. I followed the steps mentioned in the web
page:
1)On the client that will run the tests, install rails with 'gem

2)Download runner.zip from the link below, and extract it in any dir
on the client.
3)Start a cmd.exe shell and cd into the extracted 'runner' dir.
4)Launch the app with the command ruby script/server
5)From either the local or a remote machine, open a browser and access
http://HOST:3000 http://host:3000/
(where HOST is your machine's address)
6)Attempt to run the google test suite. (Note: Watir must be installed
for the google suite to work.)

there's a rails app that's a good start on the Watir wiki:

want continuous integration then there are multiple pages and refs out

Hopefully that app will give you a starting point, though I've not used

Re: [wtr-general] Re: unable to find element using xpath
I don't think that you should be using element_by_xpath at all. It does not return a Watir::Element.

[wtr-general] Select an element when :id and :class are not completely known
In the jQuery world, it isn't uncommon for me to dynamically add classes to an element. Depending on various circumstances, the class of a div might be something like amount or amount required or amount required invalid. In my particular situation, the problem is compounded by the fact that my id is partially made up of a random number, so I can't simply do div(:id,amount). What I do know is the first chunk of the id (e.g. it always starts with amount_). I also know that the class will always contain amount, though it may also contain additional classes. An example: div id=amount_1239783 class=required amount invalid.../div 1. I've tried to do @ff.div(:class,amount) but it only works if they other classes haven't been added 2. I know I can do @ff.div(:class,required amount invalid) but sometimes the classes get added in a different order (and some classes don't get added every time, so maintaining all the possible combinations is ridiculous) 3. I know I can do each through the divs looking to see if the class contains the given value, or the id starts with amount, but that seems excessive Does anyone know if there is a simple way to do this? -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Re: Select an element when :id and :class are not completely known
After I posted this question, I started thinking that the best solution would be if I could use a regular expression to select the element: @browser.div(:id,/^amount_.*/) or @browser.div(:class,/.*amount.*/) So I tried it, and it worked for both Firefox and IE. This may just be a benefit of using Ruby, or it may have been intentional (I don't know...I'm a Java guy) but I'm really glad it worked. Hope anyone else who comes across this question finds this useful.
