[wtr-general] Watir-classic execute_script no longer working in IE11
Sorry, no. The Windows Update in question breaks a ton of functionality when you try to automate IE from out of process. However, the February cumulative update should resolve the issue, if the last comment (from a Microsoft employee) on the Microsoft Connect report is to be believed. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Re: [wtr-general] Scripts not working in IE11 browser
If you're using the WebDriver implementation of the IE driver with watir-webdriver, you should take a look at the WebDriver project's wiki page for how to configure IE to properly work with the driver[1]. It has been updated to include extra configuration steps for IE11. Note carefully the last bullet point in the Required Configuration section[2]. --Jim [1] https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver [2] https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver#Required_Configuration On Tuesday, July 29, 2014 11:26:54 AM UTC-4, Joe Fl wrote: > > Hi Rahul, > > I have run into the same problem running with IE11 and have no found a > solution.

[wtr-general] Entering data to text field is taking time in Watir Web driver
You haven't provided this information, and I'm not an expert in watir-webdriver, so I'm going to have to rely on my psychic debugging powers. My psychic powers tell me you're running Internet Explorer 10 or 11, and since you're on a 64-bit version of Windows, you assumed you should use the 64-bit version of IEDriverServer.exe. That is incorrect. Even if you're on 64-bit Windows, and even if you think you're running 64-bit IE, you're not. The "content" process is still a 32-bit process. This issue and its root cause are discussed in some detail in the Selenium issue tracker[1]. Of course, my psychic powers occasionally fail me, and I do have a bit of a cold at the moment so I could be off base. Also, I've no idea if watir-webdriver bundles a version of IEDriverServer.exe in the gem. If it does, I'd have to assume that the package maintainer has done the right thing including the 32-bit executable. --Jim [1] http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5116 -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Text Entry is very slow using IE 10+
What version of IEDriverServer.exe are you using? More importantly, are you using the 64-bit version of the executable? If you are using the 64-bit exe, don't. Use the 32-bit exe with IE10+. With IE10+, even on 64-bit Windows, and even if you explicitly launch a 64-bit iexplore.exe, the content rendering process is still a 32-bit process unless you go to extraordinary lengths to make it otherwise. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Re: [wtr-general] Can't use = sign in URL.
Neither of those worked. For now I am using this:
b.goto(properties.getUrl.gsub("\n",'') + 'source=' +
properties.getSource.gsub("\n",'') + '&' + 'xyzclubcode=' +
properties.getxyzclubcode.gsub("\n",'') + '&' + 'state=' +
properties.getState.gsub("\n",'') + '&' + 'zipcode=' +
properties.getZipcode.gsub("\n",''))
With some changes to my .rb file.
And a reformatting of the .txt properties file to:
url=http://Foo.Bar.com/Portal/quote?
source=club
xyzclubcode=212
state=VA
zipcode=20109
I'll try to get back to this issue for a better answer.
The links you sent earlier were somewhat helpful but I could not figure out
how to transform the information into usable commands.
I learned the %3D should replace the = sign.

Re: [wtr-general] Can't use = sign in URL.
For now, can I forget about the properties file, and have the Watir script put the url directly in the address bar? If that is possible I'll need the commands to do so. I got nowhere with the links you sent. When I add p properties.getUrl to my script the output is there minus anything to the right of the left most equal sign. Turns from this: http://FooBar.com/AP/quote?source=club&aaaclubcode212&state=CA&zipcode=90210 To: http://FooBar.com/AP/quote?source So it is ignoring all the the right of the equals sign as I expected.

Re: [wtr-general] Can't use = sign in URL.
I'm using Watir with Ruby 1.86.
I have a properties file that I point to when I fire up a Watir script.
properties = TemplateProperties.new("../properties/template_properties.txt")
Then it uses this:
b.goto(properties.getUrl)
to pull the correct url. I use several.
When I attempt to fire up a Watir script I do not get the website that I'm
looking for when I use the url in my previous (original) post, given to me
today to test with.
When I copy and paste the url into the browser address bar it works fine.
When I copy and paste the url into the browser address bar, up to the first
= sign I get the same result as when I try to fire it up in Watir.
So, I'm pretty sure Watir/Ruby interprets the = as something else. (like,
oh this must be a new row)
I did some research before I posted.
Someone else had a similar issue where the equals sign was replaced with
something like %3D. It worked for them, not for me.

[wtr-general] Re: Internet Explorer - watir-webdriver question
Just a wild guess, but are you running on 64-bit Windows 7? What version of IEDriverServer.exe are you running, 32-bit or 64-bit? IE, or any process, for that matter, can't load a cross-bitness .dll (an ActiveX control is a .dll with some specific API endpoints built into it). So if your ActiveX control is a 32-bit ActiveX control, you won't see it when you start 64-bit IE. For the same reason, the "bitness" version of IE that gets launched by IEDriverServer.exe (and therefore by watir-webdriver) is determined by the "bitness" of the executable. --Jim On Thursday, April 25, 2013 12:52:13 PM UTC-4, Alan May wrote: > > Hi, > > I understand that Watir doesn't support ActiveX controls.(I have read the > FAQ entry and several posts on this matter). > > I think Watir is an incredibly useful tool for web application testing and > I've had good results with using it on various projects.

[wtr-general] .attach method
You don't. The WebDriver API doesn't support attaching to an existing browser yet, so watir-webdriver can't provide this functionality either. Additionally, a large use case for attaching to an existing browser window is in manipulating popup browser windows[1], and WebDriver does provide a Window API for that purpose. How watir-webdriver exploits that API, I couldn't say. --Jim [1] Disclaimer: I don't mean to suggest that there aren't other use cases for the .attach method, or that popup windows are the most important use case for that API, or even that it's the use case you're trying to solve.

Let me piggyback off of Željko's comments to reiterate that the WebDriver development team welcomes any and all contributions toward making the drivers more stable. I realize that having watir-classic is a disincentive for folks to spend time helping with the IE driver, if only because it appears to "just work" for most Watir users' use cases.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Installing the IEDriverServer
Normally I'd say, "Start a new thread; don't hijack other peoples'," but I'm too tired to argue about it. How to solve the problem is to set the browser zoom level to 100%. That is to say, open IE manually, and type Control+0 (that's hold the control key down while typing the number zero). That resets the zoom level to 100%. From the WebDriver side of things, there are ways you can tell the IE driver to ignore the zoom level, but I don't know how to set those in the Watir API. --Jim On Wednesday, January 16, 2013 11:46:47 AM UTC-5, Sergii Nadieiev wrote: > > What about next?

[wtr-general] Re: Watir-webdriver - Screenshots - Browser is minimised before screeshot is taken and only part of the page is saved
I'm going to use my psychic debugging powers to deduce that you're automating IE with the watir-webdriver gem. If I'm wrong, disregard the following explanation. Screenshots in WebDriver are, by definition, of the full page. However, in order to take a screenshot of the full page without scrolling (which would screw up absolutely positioned elements), you have to be able to render the full page in IE. The only way to get the full page to render is to resize the IE window so that the full page is visible without scrolling. So, the IE driver does the resize automatically for the screenshot API call, then restores the window to the state it was in before the call. If you're attempting to use IE10, on Windows 8, screenshots are one of the few things that don't work entirely properly. It's entirely possible that Microsoft has closed the loophole the IE driver uses to create full-page screenshots in Windows 8. --Jim On Wednesday, January 16, 2013 9:42:45 AM UTC-5, Evgeny Shavkunov wrote: > > Hi, > > I was trying to make a screenshot from the page using > "browser.screenshot.save" and I found that only small part of the page > (even less then visible part in the window) is saved in file.

which represents a list of tickets. The first row of the table is a
row of header cells; subsequent rows represent individual tickets.
It's a little more complicated, in that the column order is user-
configurable. In other words, the first column is not always the same
data, so I can't rely on position for modeling the content of the row
elements. Initially I tried subclassing the Table object, adding a
couple of attributes that I need, like a Hash containing the current
column bindings. Here's something similar to my class for that table.
class TicketListGridControl < Watir::Table
def SelectAllTicketsCheckBox
self.rows[1].checkbox(:name, "MASTER_CHECKBOX")
end
def FieldNameMap
if not instance_variable_defined? :@field_map
@field_map = Hash.new
self.rows[1].cells.each_with_index {|value, index| @field_map
[value]=index }
end
@field_map
end
def VisibleTickets
# this method should return the list of tickets.
end
end
I tried have VisibleTickets return TableRows.new(self), since that
doesn't filter out the header row, and I can't see any way to get that
to work. Additionally, using the built in TableRows collections will
not allow me to return objects that extend TableRow. This lead me down
the path of subclassing the TableRows collection, and suddenly it
seems like I'm doing a whole lot of subclassing, rather than just
extending what I need to.
Further, I tried to subclass a TableRow to give me the individual
ticket model, but I can't see how TableRow has any intrinsic knowledge
of the table it belongs to. I suppose I could pass in a reference to
the table's field map hash, but that seems a little clunky. If I
call .parent up the hierarchy on the subclassed TableRow, I can get
the table to which the row belongs, but it's a Watir::Table, not a
TicketListGridControl. I'm know I don't want to extend all tables to
contain these methods.
I'm sure there are other people who are trying to do the type of
semantic page modeling I'm attempting, where the pages to be modeled
are fairly sophisticated. I've had some success generating a model of
the application using WatiN; the latest builds provide a great deal of
plumbing to make this kind of thing dead simple. However, there are
some concerns in my organization about a need for cross-platform (not
just cross-browser) test execution. Thus, I find myself in unfamiliar
territory.

That's fantastic. Thanks for that. Now that it's working, can someone point me to some further reading as to why it works? What does the "/ ie" imply?

[wtr-general] Cannot subclass Table
As I mentioned in a previous message, I'm trying to model my application to enforce code reuse in my scripts. I think I've managed to find a way around the answer for my previous question, but I'm having a difficult time subclassing the Watir::Table class. If I try the following: require "watir" class TicketListGridControl < Watir::Table ... end then I get the following error stack when I attempt to run a script: C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:440:in `load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant Watir::Table (NameError) from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:80:in `const_missing' from ./object_model.rb:67 from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:156:in `require' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:521:in `new_constants_in' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:156:in `require' from program.rb:2 It looks clear that my code can't resolve the name for the Table class. How do I correct the NameError? I'm sure this is probably another "lack of Ruby experience" issues on my part, but I'd really appreciate a nudge in the right direction. --Jim Evans Numara Software, Inc. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Modeling web pages and table rows
I have a web application that I'm trying to create a model of in Watir, to encourage code reuse in the scripts, and I've hit a little snag. I have a table on the main page of the application, the first row of which has column header information. I need a method by which I can return all other rows in the table, ideally without iterating through the rows and adding them to an array. There must be a more efficient way.

[wtr-general] Re: Unable to locate element
Kamesh, The other major cause of this problem is that your test is not where you think it is. That is, there is an error in your previous step that causes a problem so that the next thing you are looking for is not actually there. (Like the previous step is supposed to do something to take you to another page, but fails and you never get to the next page, or the previous step does something that enables the element you are looking for.) This may not be your problem, but it happens often enough to mention it. The problem is harder to find if the browser is set to close at the end. Watch carefully what is happening as your test runs. You might discover that something earlier in your test is not happening the way you think it is.

[wtr-general] Re: Help needed in automation using Watir
Lokesh, Your problem is not so much identifying objects as much as having your developers not change their ids. Your developers should be assigning unique ids to controls that you use including input fields and buttons. They should not be making arbitrary changes to ids, just like they should not be making arbitrary changes to code. The developers I work with use tools that autogenerate some of the ids. Normally these do not change because the structure of the page remains the same (header, footer, menus). I work with a group of developers who understand the importance of automated testing and will quickly add unique ids to elements in the page. There really are developers out there like that. If your developers are serious about having automated tests, try talking to them and explain your situation and ask them to work with you to find a good solution. If they don't respond, then you should talk to your manager who is interested in having automated tests, explain the situation (emphasize the time you could save if you did not have to go back and change your tests all the time) and get him to "influence" the developers.

[wtr-general] Re: Unexpected error when Run the code in Netbeans.
Hi Wesley, Sorry, I did not know you had been NetBeans for a while. It is a common mistake for new users and when I don't know any more information, I start with the basics. I have reproduced the error you describe, but I have no idea why it is happening. The strange thing I notice is that the first two lines of the trace (the ones on the bottom) have "ubygems" instead of "rubygems". I 'll see what else I can find out. All my old tests seem to work OK.

[wtr-general] Re: Unexpected error when Run the code in Netbeans.
Wesley, Have you set the "run" environment to use your externally installed Ruby instead of JRuby? Watir will not run under JRuby. Go to Tools -> Ruby Platforms -> and add your externally installed Ruby platform. Then on each of your projects, you have to make sure that your project references this "run" environment.

[wtr-general] Re: Error in handling popup
spike,
The only thing I see right off is that you have:
wsh WIN32OLE.new('Wscript.Shell')
My guess is that it should be:
wsh = WIN32OLE.new('Wscript.Shell')
That would seem to fit with the error you are getting:
NoMethodError: undefined method `wsh' for #

[wtr-general] Re: Watir design patterns?
Bret...I've looked at it some...I think what I'm really talking about is one-half design pattern, one-half deployment guide. Actually, now that I think about it, a Watir Deployment guide is really what I'm thinking of. For example, I initially set up all my scripts in the same directory, with all the helper scripts and files in a subdirectory under it, because I didn't know the best way to set up the directory structure to test with Ruby, RSpec and Watir an application that has multiple components and where I want to be able to run a rake task against each individual component, or against the whole thing. These aren't really massively complex issues, but they make a huge difference as to how usable and scalable a test framework is. And maybe I just don't understand WatirCraft well enough...but it looked fairly firm in how it sets up your structure. For example, if I had an application that had component 1, component 2 and component 3, would WatirCraft allow me to set up a structure where I could run a rake task to test component 1, component 2, or component 3 individually, or if i chose to run the whole thing and have it report as 1 test run? When I tried to set this up, my scripts got confused as to where to get its helpers. Anyway, that's my sob story :-).

[wtr-general] Watir design patterns?
I think the biggest thing alot of us Watir developers need is a good guide to design patterns with Watir. I know for myself, I know the commands and basic syntax pretty well, and can design a test structure that works, but I'm sure there are things I'm doing that could be designed better (I'm a tester, after all, not a full-time programmer). I'd love a guide that describes best practices for how to set up a directory structure, set up rake for common tasks, etc. I know WatirCraft attempts to address this to some extent, but I guess I'm suggesting that some people might need to design their own framework, but not know how to do it.

[wtr-general] Re: Ramping up your Ruby skills
I love Brian Marick's book because it really cuts through all the "programmery" stuff that's interesting to development types but makes testers eyes glaze over, and talks about the core, basic stuff Watir developers need to know. I am a QA Engineer who had some Python experience when I picked up Brian's book, and it was just the ticket. I also have the Pickaxe book, but use it mostly as a reference, when I am not sure how to do something.

Shweta,
$ie.text_field(:name, "PolicyNumber").set($record

If you are trying to put a value in a text_field, you need to use
value, so your line would look something like this:
$ie.text_field(:name, "PolicyNumber").value = ($record
['PolicyNumber'])

[wtr-general] Re: Getting no such file to load error when working with excel
Shweta,
I am not sure which problem you are having right now.
It looks like you are still having the problem of:
error: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
31:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- xls (LoadError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
31:in
`require'
It looks like you are not using a Ruby gem, it looks like you are
using xls.rb.
since you do a
require 'xls'
that means that xls.rb has to be in the same directory as you run the
Ruby file. You can change the require to include a relative path to
xls.rb.
If the problem is the Dir.pwd, this appears to define a relative path
for the xls file. Try to get it working by hard coding the path. If
that works you can work on changing it to a relative path if you want
to. Get things working with the simplest setup and then change things
one at time until you get them working the way you want to.

[wtr-general] Re: click_no_wait and click! not working
I have figured a few things out with the click_no_wait problem. This
potentially affects any program that uses the Ruby "system" call,
which click_no_wait does. There is also appears to be a problem with
Watir#wait_until, that is used by enabled_popup, which is used to
check for the presence of a popup. The details follow:
First, I think the problem with click_no_wait not actually not
clicking the button/link is a Ruby 1.8.6-27 problem. It is because
the quoted string is not passed into Ruby correctly.
On a Ruby 1.8.6-26 system, the following happens:
C:\>ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]
C:\>ruby -e "puts \"Does this work?\""
Does this work?
C:\>
However, on a 1.8.6-27 system, the following happens:
C:\>ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]
C:\>ruby -e "puts \"Does this work?\""
-e:1: unterminated string meets end of file
C:\>
There is a second problem. When you set the timeout for clicking the
popup button, Watir times out first:
.
.
.
if (ie.enabled_popup)
wc = WinClicker.new
wc.clickWindowsButton(/Internet Explorer/, "OK", 30)
end
>ruby javatest.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/watir/waiter.rb:
59:in `wait_until': Timed out after 4.006 seconds.
(Watir::Exception::TimeOutException)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/watir/
waiter.rb:80:in `wait_until'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/contrib/
enabled_popup.rb:10:in `enabled_popup'
from javatest.rb:13
>Exit code: 1
So even though I have the click set to not timeout until after 30
seconds, Watir seems to timeout after about 4 seconds.
There is a temporary workaround for this that works for me. Because I
was getting the Watir timeout before the popup came up, I added a
sleep to my popupchecker method before the Timeout::timeout. So the
first part of the popupchecker method looks like this:
def popupchecker(text)
sleep 10
Timeout::timeout(2) do
Note that I give this as a temporary solution until the wait_until is
fixed.

[wtr-general] Watir in JRuby?
Does anyone know the status of porting Watir to JRuby? I saw some posts last year that indicated it was on the wish list, but that a stumbling block was the Win32OLE module...just thought I'd drop a note out here and see if anyone has knowledge of anything in the works. I love Ruby and Watir, but work on an enterprise Java app, and having the "Java" side of JRuby would be cool.

[wtr-general] Re: select_no_wait function does not work for download pop up handling.
I have been trying to figure out what the problem is with
click_no_wait method for a couple of weeks. I expect your problem is
related to mine.
I believe I have narrowed it down to the following, but I do not have
an answer yet.
click_no_wait builds a string to execute in a separate shell. It then
does:
system(exec_string)
It appears that the Ruby commands are not getting executed, but I have
not seen any errors.
What I am trying to do now is create a very short Ruby script that
defines a simple set of Ruby commands in a string called exec_string
and have that script do a
system(exec_string)
to see if I can get that to work. So far I am not having any luck
getting the execution string to work. I am still not seeing any
errors when I run the script. I figure if I can get this to work, it
will give me a clue as to why click_no_wait is not working.

[wtr-general] Click it twice to make it work?
Have any of you run into this problem before? You have to click a button or link or image twice to get it to take effect? I actually have run into this problem some in manual testing and usually with an image. The first time I click it, nothing happens. The second time I click it takes me where it should have gone with the first click. I am seeing this with an automated test. It was running against one server without a problem. I started having problems when I ran the same test, on the same computer, from the same IE version but against a different server. After some experimenting, it appears that if I specify clicking the link twice in a row it works. Have any of you run into this problem and more importantly, do you know what might be causing it and how to fix it?

[wtr-general] Re: MYSQL error
Watir doesn't connect directly to a database, it is for driving a web browser interface. Is it possible you're trying to use Ruby to connect to a database? If so, you might try posting this question to the comp.lang.ruby newsgroup. Also, a good idea when you post is to show the actual code you're executing.

[wtr-general] Re: Error while running popup script on eclipse
I believe what you are seeing is a problem that several of us are
seeing with click_no_wait. The main symptom is that you see the
button or link flash but no popup comes up. Since it works for some
of us with the same Ruby / Watir combination, I think it must be some
sort of system setting that is the difference. You can find several
recent posts on watir -general about the problem.
If you can shed any light on this problem, a number of us would be
very grateful.

[wtr-general] Re: enabled_popup internal error
One thing I forgot to mention: someone else got click_no_wait to work
by going into IE ->Tools -> Internet Options...->Advanced and under
Security, check the box titled "Allow active content to run in files
on My Computer".

[wtr-general] Re: enabled_popup internal error
Glad to know that helped. Now you are at the point I am at. There
are several of us working to see if we can resolve the problem. It
appears that the same Ruby / Watir combination works for some people
and does not work for others as far as handling the javascript
popups. Because of this, we think there is some system setting that
makes the difference rather than it being strictly a Ruby and Watir
problem. If you have any insights on this, please share them.
I will try to answer some of your questions. First the normal "click"
that brings up the javascript popup is blocking. The script cannot
proceed until the popup is dismissed. If the code to dismiss the
popup is in the same thread, it stays that way forever (well you know
what I mean). The "click_no_wait" is non blocking, which allows your
script to continue with the routine to dismiss the popup.
So, the short answer is that just "click" won't work for something
that brings up a popup (I'll add the qualification that it does work
if you create a separate thread to click the popup. I only mention
this because there some examples floating around that do that. I do
not want to lead you too far astray if you find one.) So the
preferred method of clicking something that brings up a popup is
"click_no_wait". Unfortunately, what I am seeing is that the button
flashes but no popup ever comes up and the routine to click it times
out. I have had a little success with "click!". click! is also not
blocking. That works one time for me but not the second time in the
same script.
I think the confusion about the page and page container has to do with
confusion over the term "page". The cucumber "page" is not the same
exactly the same as the Watir "page". Beyond that, I cannot offer
much information. Just be aware that although people use the same
"name" for things in different programs, they might not mean the same
thing.
Try the click! on the button that brings up the popup and see if
that works for you (since it sounds like the click_no_wait doesn't
work for you) and let us know your results. If you figure anything
out about system settings that might affect this, let us know. If I
find out anything else for you, I'll post it here.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir users: What is your role at work?
I'm a test developer who uses Ruby/Watir for developing automated tests. As with Lisa, the test code is managed like production code (checked into Subversion, tagged, etc). I think one of the big advantages of the Ruby/Watir solution is that the language is fairly straightforward for someone to pick up quickly, but because it is Ruby under the hood, I can do system-level scripting (connecting to other network shares, parsing log files or the Windows Event Log using regular expressions, running complex queries against a database) as well as driving the website. It provides a fairly complete solution for testing an enterprise web application. Even if I want to use another language for certain tests (I've written some Powershell tests to access COM objects), I can run those from the command line and wrap them in a Ruby script with RSpec examples.

[wtr-general] Re: enabled_popup internal error
OK, too bad you did not include this originally. I think I know what
the problem is. At least I see something that is a problem. You
have:
hwnd = page_container.enabled_popup(waitTime)
hwnd belongs to the browser, not the page, so you have to reference
the borwser object like:
hwnd = $ie.enabled_popup(waitTime)
or change $ie to browser, or whatever you have defined as your browser
object.
I am doing something similar with Cucumber and I am having trouble
with this. It successfully dismisses the first popup I hit but does
not work on the second. I hope it works for you. Let me know, I am
still trying to figure out the difference.

[wtr-general] Re: enabled_popup internal error
OK, I looked at example 4. I noticed that the example incorrectly says require 'Watir' instead of require 'watir' (the W should be lowercase). and I assume that you did the : require 'watir/contrib/enabled_popup' and I assume you have done some sort of attach of "browser" that connects it to an IE browser, then does your code fail on the hwnd = browser.enabled_popup(5) ? browser.enabled_popup should return a hwnd only if the browser has a popup currently displayed. You can use fxri to help you figure out what is going wrong. If this is not correct or does not make sense, include your code. I also assume we are still working on the original: undefined local variable or method `hwnd' for # problem? Jim On Mar 4, 1:23 pm, andrew.d...@lthree.com wrote: > I was basing my code on example 4.

[wtr-general] Re: enabled_popup internal error
>From your first post, I am not sure how you are trying to use ie.enabled_popup. I assume you are trying to something like what is described on the wiki: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/JavaScript+Pop+Ups I do not know which example you are following. If you take this one for example, require 'watir/contrib/enabled_popup' def popupChecker(text) Timeout::timeout(2)do begin if ie.enabled_popup hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(5) w = WinClicker.new w.makeWindowActive(hwnd) w.clickWindowsButton_hWnd(hwnd,text) end rescue Timeout::Error puts 'No popup existed' end end end The strange thing to me is that the error you show references a Watir frame. A frame would not have an hwnd associated with it directly, so I am not sure how you even got the error. I am trying to use the routine above and am finding that there must be some things on my system that keep it from working all the time. Sometimes it dismisses the popup and sometimes it doesn't.

[wtr-general] Re: enabled_popup internal error
I thought you were having the same problem I am with popups, but I think yours is different at this point. The window handle is going to be on the browser and not a part of the DOM. You have to get the hwnd off the browser and go from there.

[wtr-general] Re: click_no_wait and click! not working
Here are the steps to reproduct the problem. First bring up unittests
\html\popups1.html in IE.
\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir-1.6.2\unittests\html\popups1.html
Next run this script. I have extra "puts" in it to try to figure out
what is going on. They can be remvoed or commented out.
Jim
require 'watir'
require 'watir/ie'
require 'watir/testcase'
require 'watir/contrib/enabled_popup'
class StepTests < Watir::TestCase
def test_01_step_test
browser = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /Test page for/)
browser.row(:index, 3).button(:type, 'button').click!
popupchecker(browser, 'OK')

[wtr-general] click_no_wait and click! not working
I am trying to deal with javascript popups. I have created the popupchecker method described on the wiki. When I used click_no_wait, the popup came up but was not dismissed. Someone suggested that I try click! instead of click_no_wait because of some problems mentioned in recent posts. I did that and click! worked for the first popup. It dismissed it and the script continued. When the script got to the second popup, neither click_no_wait nor click! worked to dismiss the popup. I put some "puts" statements is the popupchecker method and it appears from that, that popupchecker is not getting called the second time until after I manually dismiss the second popup. I know the popupchecker code works because it successfully dismisses the first popup and because I have used fxri with popupchecker to dismiss both the popups. Does anyone have an idea what is going on or something different to try? Jim --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir -- Methods
That is strange. Test::Unit should be automatically installed with the Ruby installation. When I have seen the "LoadError" problem, it has been because of RUBYOPT not being defined. One thing I noticed, your rubygems did not have the hyphen in front of it and that is got split on the line I wrote before. Make sure it looks like this: RUBYOPT = -rubygems I don't know what else to suggest right now. Jim On Feb 23, 11:59 am, Smita Godbole wrote: > Actually it is there.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir -- Methods
Usually when you get a load error on a gem that really is installed, it is because the environmental variable RUBYOPT is not set. Check your environmental variables and if RUBYOPT is not set to - rubygems, then add it. You can find environmental variables in the Advanced tab of "My Computer" "Properties".

I believe that the: RUBYOPT - Value = -rubygems is controlled by the "enable Ruby gems" setting in the install process. Make sure you select the enable Ruby gems and it creates the variable if it does not exist.

[wtr-general] Problem displaying XML file with XLS in Firefox and Safari
I am using ci_reporter to produce XML output from test runs from Watir tests. Tiffany supplied an XLS file to reference in the XML file, which works fine in IE. The problem is that when you try to view the XML file in Firefox or Safari, the file looks like raw XML. I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience with XLS and knew if you had to do something different to get it to work with Firefox or Safari.

[wtr-general] Gracefully handling timeouts with FireWatir
I am using FireWatir with a web app which pulls from several ad
networks, in addition to its own content. A steady tide of
XmlHttpRequests ('XHRs') ensures, to my dismay, that Firefox never
thinks the page stops loading. If I manually stop pageload, the script
continues as intended. However, if I do not, then the script hangs
indefinitely.
My ideal solution is to press the browser's "stop" button within
Firewatir. I would also be okay with returning focus to the script
after certain DOM elements are visible, but I am accepting any
proposed solutions, frankly.
I know that this issue has been addressed to a limited extent.
However, I have been unable to find a satisfactory solution. I
apologize ahead of time, should I cause anyone to be redundant.

I have gotten cruisecontrol.rb running with ci_reporter and the ci_reporter XML files into the build artifacts directory. The problem is, it is the ugly ci_reporter xml output. I would like to have something that converts all the ci_reporter xml files into one, pretty report. Has anyone done this before or know of a tool that would do it?

[wtr-general] How close are we to be able to run common tests with Watir and FireWatir
How close are we to be able to run common tests with Watir and FireWatir? That is the question I asked Bret earlier today. The short answer is that many things work both in Watir and Firewatir under 1.6.1. The main functionality that will still be broken in 1.6.2 is the "attach". That is slated to be fixed after 1.6.2. The problem with "visible" may or may not make it in 1.6.2. There is a fix for the problem around "white space" that is fixed and will be in 1.6.2. We need your help. Spend some time running your existing tests with 1.6.2 on IE and on Firefox. Let us know what issues you have. I have started to run existing Watir tests I have with 1.6.1 on IE and Firefox. Although I have not finished testing, a number of them run with little or no modification. So, "Who am I?" Jim Matthews. I have worked with Bret at a previous company and am working with him now to help get the common version of Watir/FireWatir out. I am a long time test automation implementer and have been using Watir for about three years. I monitor the Watir General group and jump in when I think I can be useful. The community effort to have a common IE and FireFox test tool is paying off. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

This has just about always happened for me for Watir, it just has not been a problem until now. The "[1]" shows up in the name in the popup box that asks if you want to save the file. I keep a directory of files that I install on my computer so I can show some history here. Watir and FireWtir gems are the only gems that show up with the "[1]" in the name, but not all of them: watir-1[1].5.1.1145.gem watir-1[1].5.1.1158.gem watir-1[1].5.1.1192.gem watir-1.5.6.gem commonwatir-1[1].6.1.gem firewatir-1[1].6.1.gem watir-1[1].6.1.gem firewatir-1[1].0.2.gem jssh-20060221-WINNT.xpi firewatir-1[1].1.gem jssh-WINNT-2[1].x.xpi firewatir-1.2.1.gem by removing the "[1]" in the name, I could get Watir 1.6.1 to install.
