 Is that clear?

  Is there a particular reason you need to use title? How would a normal

[wtr-general] Re: click_no_wait fails for button to open modal dialog (Win XP, Ruby 1.8.6.26, Watir 1.6.7)

2010-12-07 Thread Kushal
Hi all,

Thanks for all the posts. I am not really trying to access the button
by using unique_number. The click_no_wait function in element class
passes the command to spawned_click_no_wait_command which refers to
the element using unique_number.

I have seen the example on the page: 
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Modal+Dialogs.
And, there is not problem of page hanging up after click_no_wait is
used to click on button for modal dialog. So, in this case, WATIR is
able to access the button using unique_number. However, in my case it
is not.

Also, I verified that click_no_wait is using the correct hwnd.

I have no clue what to do with this.

[wtr-general] Can't click on a nameless div

2010-12-07 Thread LizLeong
I'm running Ruby1.8.7 patchlevel 249 with Watir 1.6.7 on WinXP.

I'm trying to click on the text Add Another State on a web page.  It
looks like a link, but I am having trouble hooking onto it.

The structure is:
div class=mainModule
  form name=stateBar id=stateBar action=http://www.website.com/
insert method=post
 div
span id=writeBar/
div style=text-align: right; width
a onclick=addState(3); $('a[id ^=dellink]'.show();
return false; href=#
Text - Add Another State
 Text - Empty Text Node


I've tried the following unsuccessfully.  I tried to use flash also
and didn't see anything highlighted either.
ie.div(:class=mainModule).div(:text=Add Another State).click
ie.div(:class=mainModule).div(:href=#).click
ie.span(:text,Add Another State).link(:text,Add Another
State).click

 Maybe there's no way to do what I want, even knowing that would
help!

Hi!

Is this the only instance of the 'Add Another State' text?

Maybe you've tried more than the code you listed, but if you haven't,
you may be making this harder than you need to.

Have you tried just accessing it as a span or link?

ie.link(:text, 'Add Another State').click
ie.span(:text, 'Add Another State').click

Hope this helps!

  Kay,

  I would recommend against validating data unless it's absolutely
  necessary. You should be able to submit the data that will support the
  test you are running then you run the test, then you clean up the
  data. The first and last steps may be done through sql commands, API
  calls, or web services calls. What does this give you? Knowledge that
  failures are in the software and not in the a change to the sample
  data. You also don't have to worry about burned data, which could
  be quite the problem if you are working in getting your tests right to
  begin with.

  Of course that depends on cooperation and trust in the test teams.

  Good luck,

If browser.link(:text,Add Another State).click does't work, try
browser.link(:text, /Add Another State/).click.

If neither of those work, you may need to use the fire_event method
(see http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/1.6.5/classes/Watir/Element.html#M000557).
Example:

browser.link(:text, /Add Another State/).fire_event(onclick)

Hope it helps.

Hi,
I had a similiar problem that began when I started using IE8.  I found
(and could be wrong) that WinClicker didn't seem to handle the popup,
so, I am now using the method clickprompt which I borrowed from

It works for IE8 and IE7.

Re: [wtr-general] Unable to identify the object error

2010-12-07 Thread sudeep pattnaik
Hi,

The page I am testing, gets loaded after the login page. I have written
Watir script for logging in also which works fine.
The problem is Watir scxript is not able to locate any of the elements on
the page even if I have tried to access them using different parameters like
:name,:id,:text etc.

Is there any specific reasons for this?

Initially I thought my Ruby installation got corrupted, but surprsingly it
works fine for other applications.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Sudeep

 Hi Željko,

 You are right. when the page is loaded, the select is there and the value
 in it is none and by default it gets set to Operational Control in a
 span of 2 secs.

 So I think I have to make the control wait for the time till the value gets
 changed to Operational Control and then set it to Audits.

 Maybe one of these would work:

 browser.select_list(:name,ModuleID).set(/Audits/)

 Does this flash the select list?

 browser.select_list(:name,ModuleID).flash

 Is the select list on the page? Maybe it appears later, or it is hidden.

Since in watir, we have different methods for recognize the object with
