And this system resides on an internal network, so unfortunately there's no way for me to give you any kind of remote access to them.. The great thing is that if you have an MSDN subscription, you can get ISO images of all the 'library' disks, which includes all the OS's and such that you get to use for dev/testing purposes under the subscription. You can locate those on the VM host, and for any VM you can point the virtual CD drive to the ISO. Power up the VM and it's just like you slotted the OS install disk in the drive and booted it. Since it's all coming off a hard disk, the install goes pretty fast. (patching will often take longer than the install unless you've got a fast internet connection). -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] OT: What hardware do you have for hosting VM's?
Thinking about ordering real hardware for hosting MSFT based virtual machines for client browser testing. Wondering what type of hardware that others are using these days. I was thinking of a quad-core desktop with memory maxed out, and a somewhat speedy disk drive. Thoughts? -Arkie -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Please donate to the Watir project!
If you feel that Watir is useful to you or your organization, please think about donating to the project! There's a donate link on the watir.com home page. I just donated $200 to help cover some hosting expenses that are coming out of people's personal wallet. Not bad for almost 5 years of using this awesome software package. Think about it and do the right thing -Alan Alan Ark | QA Manager| Complí | ar...@compli.commailto:ar...@compli.com | office: 503.963.4236 | fax: 503.294.1200 | www.compli.comhttp://www.compli.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

[wtr-general] Weirdness when working with multiple Firefox windows - using Watir::Browser
Hi folks.
Running ruby 1.8.6
Win XP SP3
Version of Watir from github from (5/20/2009) - reports as 1.6.2, but its not
the released version.
It appears that my browser windows are getting their wires crossed somehow.
I'm attaching code that should show the problem.
What I see:
Browser A goes to a page and clicks on a link to open a print friendly view
of the page.
Browser C should attach to the new window.
Somehow Browser A now thinks that it's the same thing as Browser C?
What I expected:
Browser A and Browser C remain separate.
Code to use in IRB
#watir_browser is set to FF - using v 3.0.0.10 on my local machine.
require 'Watir'
a=Watir::Browser.new
a.goto(http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/05/21/peavy.trade/index.html;)
a.image(:alt,PRINT).click
# wait_until(30) { c=Watir::Browser.attach(:url,/printthis/) } # this line is
not working yet.
sleep 10 # attach will throw exception if the window does not appear in time.
c=Watir::Browser.attach(:url,/printthis/) # if the window does not appear in
time.
a.url # returns the URL from c!
I'm thinking that I should probably log this in JIRA, but I figured that I'd
open the discussion 1st.
Thanks

[wtr-general] file_field.set hanging with IE8 RC1
Hi there.
I just wanted to share something I found when looking at IE8
OS: WinXP
Ruby: 1.8.6
Watir 1.6.2
Browser: IE8 RC1
Problem:
When trying to set a file_field, the browser would open the dialog, but would
not actually choose the file.
It would appear that the browser would hang and none of the tests would
progress.
One Solution:
I patched the following line (438) in input_elements.rb on my system.
Changed
system(rubyw -e \require 'win32ole';
@autoit=WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control'); waitresu...@autoit.winwait 'Choose
file', '', 15; sleep 1; if waitresult == 1\ -e \@autoit.ControlSetText
'Choose file', '', 'Edit1', '#{setPath}'; @autoit.ControlSend 'Choose file',
'', 'Button2', '{ENTER}';\ -e \end\)
to
system(rubyw -e \require 'win32ole';
@autoit=WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control'); waitresu...@autoit.winwait 'Choose',
'', 15; sleep 1; if waitresult == 1\ -e \@autoit.ControlSetText 'Choose', '',
'Edit1', '#{setPath}'; @autoit.ControlSend 'Choose', '', 'Button2',
'{ENTER}';\ -e \end\)
What happened:
It looks like with IE8, they changed the title of the dialog that handles the
file upload from Choose file to Choose File to Upload.
By changing the title to match on to be just Choose, the function should
still work for IE7 (and IE6?) as well.
