NoMethodError: undefined method `now' for Watir::Time:Class
The HTML spec recently (re-)-introduced the time element, so there's now
a Watir::Time class. Since you're inside the Watir module in your monkey
patch, that's what you're referencing when you do Time.now. To access the
top-level constant, instead do ::Time.now.
watir-webdriver already has a helper for waiting, so you could instead do:
Watir::Wait.until { execute_script(return jQuery.active) == 0 }

I could just raise an error like Jari suggested, but that won't help the
outcome (getting navigation timings).
We *could* just monkey patch the execute_script method, but before I do,
Jari, is there a more elegant solution?
module Watir
class Browser
def execute_script(script, *args)
args.map! { |e| e.kind_of?(Watir::Element) ? e.wd : e }
obj = @driver.execute_script(script, *args)
obj.each { |k,v| obj[k] = wrap_elements_in(v) }
obj

Well, execute_script should already wrap instances of
Selenium::WebDriver::Element in Watir::Element, so I'm not sure how that is
happening.
https://github.com/jarib/watir-webdriver/blob/master/lib/watir-webdriver/browser.rb#L122
I don't really see how the monkey patch would help (e.g. it would break any
script that doesn't return a Hash). Someone needs to get their hands on a
Windows box in order to solve this I think :)

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Watir Webdriver Performance Error
It sounds like the execute_script call in IE9 is returning a DOM
element instead of null or an object. Probably the gem should be
stricter about type checking the returned value and raise an error if
it's not what it expects.
Den 6. des. 2011 kl. 22:50 skrev Chuck van der Linden sqa...@gmail.com:
I get the same error on Win7 running IE9, protected mode off, from an
admin level command prompt
even went so far as to use a local page, set to be a trusted site,
with my security settings for trusted sites set to low.
Not sure what else I could lower security wise in order to let that
sucker run, so it may be some other error caused by newer version of
webdriver or something else. (it could still be security, but if so,
what more could you relax to let it work?)
I can access the window.performance method from the developer tools
console on IE, so I know at least that much is present.
window.msPerformance doesn't seem to do anything however some things
I am seeing seem to imply that perhaps that was an early prototype api
the MS was messing with and it might all have been just rolled into
window.performance now.
Using the same code against current Chrome and Firefox works fine,
it's only the IE9 that seems busted.
Taking either browser to http://webtimingdemo.appspot.com/ works just
fine, and as far as I know, it uses the same performance API stuff
that the gem s trying to use.
The nature of the error (and that we are not seeing a warning that the
browser does not support performance metrics) would seem to indicate
that it's getting a null object back when it tries to get the
performance data (and then that fails in munge because the null object
doesn't have any methods defined, much less one for each_key) so it's
as if the code is making the call but just not getting anything back
which is a bit strange.
This might be a question that has to be addressed to someone at MS or
maybe the gem author to troubleshoot and figure out what is going
wrong.
The fact that you and I are both seeing it, under both Server2008 and
Win7 makes me wonder if there was perhaps some recent change in
webdriver that might be at fault? I think this is going to take
someone with more knowledge in this area like TimK to chime in.

that. I would check the security settings. you get this same errror when
you run it against a browser that doesn't support webtimings. and since you

Watir would not work of course because it drives IE, and it will be a pretty cold day in hell before apple MS conspire to create an IE browser for the iPad. You Might (again depending on how good the ruby environment for the iPad is) be able to use something like Watir-webdriver and run it against Opera or Firefox, both of which I believe had iPad versions, but I'm not sure how well that would work or if the webdriver drivers for those browsers would work on the iPad. (personally, given what a security sieve Safari is, if I had an iPad, I think I'd take a hard look at Firefox or Opera as a browser on that device anyway, so looking into at least part of that might be good for you in terms of finding a good safe browser to surf with.) Even presuming all that worked, I'm not sure the iPad's multitasking capabilities (or lack thereof) are up to running all that stuff at the same time.

Re: [wtr-general] the watir-webdriver scripts not running on firefox8: receiving unable to obtain stable firefox connection in 60 seconds
Hi, a. Your selenium-webdriver gem is 3 versions old (latest release is 2.10). If you update your browser and something is not working, making sure you have the latest selenium-webdriver gem is always a good first step. b. The next version of the selenium-webdriver gem (2.12.0 since the Ruby bindings skipped the 2.11 release) will support Firefox 8. Should be released either today or tomorrow.

Re: [wtr-general] require 'watir-webdiver' failing with 'can't activate ffi'
It's a problem when childprocess has a looser dependency on the ffi gem than selenium-webdriver. ffi 1.0.10 was released without proper Windows support at first, so I made the dependency stricter (= 1.0.9) for selenium-webdriver to avoid problems for Windows users, and forgot to make the same change in childprocess. As a temporary workaround, either (a) uninstall ffi-1.0.10 or (b) use bundler [1] to manage your dependencies. As a more permanent fix, the next release of selenium-webdriver (due tomorrow) should have the dependency in sync with childprocess.

I decided to change the title of the browser and then I can uniquely

Something like this:

hWnd = FindWindow.call(nil, UniqueBrowser #{x} - Google Chrome)
ret = MoveWindow.call(hWnd, 0, 0, 640, 512, true)

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Handling a MAC Pro book File Upload window.
Some file upload solutions lets the user click a link, which then creates a
hidden file field and opens the upload dialog. The only way to deal with
these types of uploads is to make the file field visible, usually by
modifying its style through Browser#execute_script. This may be what you're
seeing, though unless you show us a page that will reproduce the problem,
it's a wild guess.

Another thing I noticed. Due to the path ending with

It appers that the backslash followed by the two characters cr

Notice the space instead of the characterscr indicating
that \cr was interpreted as a Carriage Return, not the first
two characters in the file name criptDataFile.xls
So try all these:
1. Use a full pathname, not a relative path (as previously mentioned)
Unless Ruby is running with the Root level of your Mac as it
working
directory, (which I'm pretty sure its not), then the Users
directory will not be a valid relative path.)
2. Remove the backslashes. They are not necessary on Mac/Linus OS,
(as previously mentioned), and may cause issues (e.g. \cr)
3. Always a good idea (as previously mentioned), to upgrade to the
latest version of the gems, (and Ruby if possible)
If you are also running safariWatir you may not be able to upgrade
to Ruby 1.9.x. I don't recall if safariWatir supports 1.9.x yet.
4. The space in the directory name should not be an issue, since the
full path is quoted, but whenever possible using directory
and file names without spaces is always safer.

Re: [wtr-general] watir-webdriver survey for adding items such as: alert_box, scroll_to, and in_viewable_area?
On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 6:07 PM, Cliff Cyphers cliff.cyph...@gmail.comwrote:
Hello Watir users
I wanted to write the watir-general community and inquire about how
much pain you feel around what appears to be some common items that
might need to be added to watir-webdriver.
1. The underlying selenium-webdriver can not perform an action on an
element if it isn't in the viewable area on the browser. Actions such
as click, text, html, etc on such elements will fail under this
condition.
2. The code for handling alert boxes seams to be very flaky on
certain OS/browser combinations.
3. fire_event('mouseover') doesn't work on all OS/browser combinations
All of these aspects can easily be updated to make your life easier.
Updates to handle each of these aspects are included in qa_robusta,
which has previously been mentioned on the list. If you feel that
these features are valuable, there's a better chance they will get
incorporated into the main release of watir-webdriver if you voice
your opinion.
See
https://github.com/ccyphers/qa_robusta/blob/master/qa_observer/lib/watir.rb
for a current implementation to handle these points. Note, personally
I think it might be best to make a slight update to this
implementation, for the element not in the viewable area. All method
calls to Watir::Element which require the element to be in view, could
first:
Watir::Element#scroll_to unless unless Watir::Element#in_viewable_area?
This is the intended default behaviour in WebDriver when you try to click an
element. If you can provide an example of a case where this is failing,
please open a bug in the Selenium tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/entry
Dealing with alert boxes you would now be able to do something like:
some_element.alert_box.text
some_element.alert_box.dismiss
Yes, we should replace the alert extension with an API that wraps
WebDriver's alert handling. I don't think it makes sense to add the API to
Element though, was that a typo?
For mouseovering an element, you no longer would need to call
fire_event, which is unreliable. You could simply:
some_element.mouseover
Thank you for your comments
Cliff.

I usually prefer waiting explicitly (especially since watir-webdriver makes it so easy) and never use implicit waits. Implicit waits hide information about app behaviour from test developers that I think is often quite relevant, and slows down your tests when (a) you want to check that an element is missing or (b) the missing element is an application bug and should fail immediately.

There are two options to handle alerts with watir-webdriver:
# use the alert helper to override the alert function:
require watir-webdriver/extensions/alerts
browser.alert do
browser.button.click # action that triggers the alert
end
# reach into the WebDriver alert API
browser.button.click # action that triggers the alert
browser.driver.switch_to.alert.dismiss
The first API was made before WebDriver had any alert support, and is
subject to be removed in the future. I'd recommend you stick to the latter
for now.

Hey all.
I've tried searching for this on my own but looking for specific
solutions in Watir or Watir-WebDriver is often a needle in a haystack
venture. In this case, I have an application that has a JavaScript
alert that pops up when an OK button is clicked. I need to get the
message in the alert box and then click OK to get rid of it.
I can do this easily in Selenium (most notably using the alertAssert)
but I'm having trouble seeing how to do it in Watir.
I saw this page: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/JavaScript+Pop+Ups.
It mentions this line:
$ie.javascript_dialog.button('OK').click
That does nothing for me but I'm using watir-webdriver as opposed to
just watir so that might be why that is.
Some of the blog posts (like
http://watir.com/2011/01/14/testing-webpages-with-javascript-popups-correctly/
)
I've found indicate more how you can just ignore the JavaScript alert
-- but that's not a good way to do things if your application requires
the alert to be present and show text. I have to test for that. I
would be okay with dismissing the alert if there was some equivalent
of Selenium's assertAlert so that I could at least get the message
returned.
Any thoughts? Not being able to handle JavaScript dialogs -- annoying
as they are -- is definitely a deal breaker so I'm open to any
suggestions.

Is there any good reason to do that? It just sucks that i can't write code similar to this in watir- webdriver: container = browser.div # do something, which obsoletes the element, but makes it exist again container.do_something # this should work As i understand from your gist then #do_something won't work unless i specifically tell again that container = browser.div. Why? That code will work just fine, since the div isn't located until you use container. However, you'll need to re-locate if the element was used once (and thus located and the reference saved), then removed from the page and then used again, like in my example. That behaviour is up for debate, but personally I've always considered the current behaviour more helpful than not: it tells me very specifically where my expectations are wrong and where there are potential race conditions. Automatically re-locating gives me less information about the interaction between the test and the app than the ObsoleteElementErrors do, which helps me write more robust tests. The application's behaviour isn't hidden from the test author, and that's always a good thing IMO. Another benefit is the overhead saved by not having to go through the locate algorithm every time the element is used, which I believe is what happens in Watir. If you're reusing Element instances heavily, Watir-WebDriver benefits from caching the element reference. That being said I do see that this is a break with Watir 1.X and somewhat inconsistent with Watir's element objects, where you never really know whether the element is live or not (by re-locating on every use). The current behaviour is sort of a compromise between Watir's Element objects that just stores *how* to find the element, and what you'll find in WebDriver, where every Element instance *always* is a pointer to a DOM node.

parent span is unique, I would in this case start from that and locate
the first span inside it:
browser.span(:id = macbodypage).span.text
Calling #span without arguments assumes you want the first one. If you
*really* need to locate elements using invalid attributes, you can
always use an XPath:
browser.span(:xpath = //span[@class='macstring' and
@string='create_user']).text
or iterate through them in Ruby, using Watir::Element#attribute_value
to get to fetch the invalid attribute:
span = browser.spans(:class = macstring).find { |e|
e.attribute_value(string) == create_user }
span || raise(couldn't find span)

The IE driver doesn't have the same problem, as it's able to detach from the IE process on shutdown. Until we have fixed this, one option to work around this is by managing the server process yourself, i.e. keep it running after your Ruby processes die: 1. Launch chromedriver.exe manually 2. Run scripts using the remote driver: Watir::Browser.new(:remote, :url = http://localhost:9515;) 3.

That's correct. If you look at the Browser#alert implementation, we

Absolutely - if you're able to change the application under test to

that's a good solution. From the Ruby side you're still polling the

Hi all,
I am writing a pretty big chunk of text in a form and want to keep the
default typing speed in the form to emulate a real user.
So when I call:
browser.text_field(:name, 'field').set('some very long text here')
The operation stops before completion with a timeout.
Is there a way I can override the timeout in the set operation so that
it can complete?
Any other workaround you can suggest?
Thanks
manu

Just a nitpick - it's probably more correct to call watir-webdriver a Watir implementation *on* WebDriver rather than a Watir implementation *of* WebDriver . Another thing you might include is that the server jar can be controlled programatically through the Selenium::Server class: require 'selenium/server' server = Selenium::Server.new(/path/to/jar, :background = true) server.start # run your tests server.stop -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
