[wtr-general] Clicking OK javascript confirm popup?

2010-12-03 Thread slindsey3000
I have read quite a few things online over the last 2 days about
clicking OK in a javascript confirm pop-up.  I have been unable to
select ok using watir and IE.

Here is the div --

div class=actions_wrapper clearfix

p id=delete_threads class=btn small white small_white
style= onmousedown=util.toggleClass(this, 'active')
onmouseup=util.toggleClass(this, 'active')
onmouseover=util.toggleClass(this, 'hover')
onmouseout=util.toggleClass(this, 'hover')a href=#delete id=
class= onclick=if(confirm('Deleting means no going back.'))
{Mailbox.deleteThreads();} return false; target=Delete selected
conversations/a/p p id=select_all_threads class=btn small
white small_white style= onmousedown=util.toggleClass(this,
'active') onmouseup=util.toggleClass(this, 'active')
onmouseover=util.toggleClass(this, 'hover')
onmouseout=util.toggleClass(this, 'hover') a href=#selectall
id= class= onclick=Mailbox.toggleThreadSelection(); return
false; target=Select all/a/p

/div

My code --

browser.link(:text, Delete selected conversations).click_no_wait
???


-- End of code

This (above) line  triggers the javascript confirm dialog.

What goes in the ??? ... I have tried about 50 different things.  My
inexperience has gotten the best of me here with watir.

Any help or direction appreciated.  It seems like it should be easy
and common to have to click on javascript OK buttons.

Thanks!

Shawn

Re: [wtr-general] I can find an element with irb, but when I run the test it cannot be found, and also not by SciTE tool.

2010-12-03 Thread Željko Filipin
When the code works in IRB, but does not work in a script, the problem is
usually in timing. In IRB you issue commands with a few second delay (while
typing the next command), while in script there is no delay. Probably the
element you are trying to access is not (yet) there. More information:

 Why are you running your tests in $DEBUG mode anyway? There should be

 wrong if it's enabled for your whole testsuite...

 You can monkey-patch that if it's really needed:

 module Watir
   class Element
    def spawned_click_no_wait_command(command)
       command = -e #{command.inspect}
       start rubyw #{command}

[wtr-general] Re: Error while running script

2010-12-03 Thread Super Kevy
My First suprise was the lack of html standard/recommendation for the
name element in page under test

Ref: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-cdata
ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be
followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens (-),
underscores (_), colons (:), and periods (.).

But that just me gripping about poor code development when the
standard is easily understood.

You'll probably get better results asking the rufus-lua developers

[wtr-general] Re: Firewatir: browser.div returns #to_s method raised exception: undefined method `join' for #String:0x66f12f0

2010-12-03 Thread koicat
Now I think I understand.

to_s is not implemented for the Div object (which is essentially what
the message is saying, not to mention the TODO I noticed in the
rdoc...)

The div is actually returned and usable.   The error appears because
Rubymine and the debugger are using to_s to display info about the
object.   A little bit less a newbie now.

Thanks!

Hey Charley,

Thanks for the heads up. I will monitor this thread closely and try to
move the conversation over to a new group. I talked to Scott and he
gave me his blessing, and since I got it out of the OpenQA SVN I
figured it's gotta be under some OSI Compliant license. The Ruby

BSD so I placed the source code under that as well.

Again, Thanks for the help. This is the first time I am leading a
forked project, so I apologize for placing this here.

When I run the install everything looks good.  But when I try and open

I do have scite installed with AutoIt and that seems fine.

No worries. I'm curious to see how it goes. Like I say, there's

Re: [wtr-general] Getting the Scite Editor to install work with Ruby 1.87 p302 on WinXP

2010-12-03 Thread John Fitisoff
I recall having problems with the installer also. I ended up just downloading 
the executable rather than the msi. I think it's probably here:

http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDownload.html

...and then grab the 'sc1' download rather than the original installer:

A single file executable called Sc1 (610K) does not need any DLL or   
properties files as these are linked into the executable. You may still create 
properties   files if you wish.   Sc1.exe has been compressed with the 
UPX compressor so that it is a fast download. It does not need to be 
decompressed to be used.

2010-12-03 Thread Dave McNulla
That's what I use recorders for - to scrape and to learn. They don't
always scrape what I want (capture ID when I want name, text when I
want ID, etc.). Sounds like a nice feature to be able to specify
priority of properties.

Good luck Enrique. Let me know if you would like some ideas or for a
beta tester.

  Hey Enrique,

    Good work. We generally have an anti-recorder philosophy for Watir,
  and for any issues/user support you might want to resurrect
  WatirRecorder lists or set up a new one. I'm assuming you've talked to
  Scott about this as well? I don't know what the original license was.
  People will have questions about it, and I'd recommend you monitor
  this group and gently redirect to the group specific to the recorder.

   There's more historical information in the group about why we choose
  not to support recorders, which I'd recommend taking a look at. Also
  you may want to blog a bit about your intentions and the inherent
  dangers in recorders. Without going into too much detail, most of
  which you'll find through a quick search, I'm more inclined to rename
  it and consider it a potential scraper, not recorder.

  hth,

   Hey Guys,

   I dont know how else to tell people about this, and I hate promoting
   it, but I have recently resurrected the WatirRecorder that Hanselman
   did back in the day. It is updated to use more modern WATIR standards
   and calls a config.xml file for template changes.

  http://code.google.com/p/watirrecordersharp/

   I would love the community to play, test, break, and contribute if
   possible. This is a first release, and I am planning on changing the
   UI from utilizing SandBar and SandDock to WPF.

   Again, any help will be tremendous. It's a great tool and I would hate
   to see it die...

Re: [wtr-general] Test Automation Framework

2010-12-03 Thread Charley Baker
Those tasks have different end answers. While you may be able to get
them all done in one framework, they could potentially be at odds.
Long answer short, if you're looking for a test framework, and I'm
almost hesitant to recommend it, check out Taza, there are previous
threads in the group for that. If you don't have any experience in
these areas, and don't know how to develop a framework, then I'd
suggest you learn a bit more and use an existing test framework.

NB: It may not be the same for all of your testing needs, which is fine.
