[wtr-general] Re: Unable to locate element

[Jim Matthews]

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.

 I think that Internet Explorer always sees absolute links (site.com/page), 
 not relative links (/page). Any of these should work:

 ie.link(:href, /userInbox.jspx/).click

 ie.link(:href, /\/faces\/faces\/client\/inbox\/userInbox.jspx/).click
 ie.link(:href, 
 MyTestSite.com/faces/faces/client/inbox/userInbox.jspx).click

 Replace `MyTestSite.com` with your site in the third example.

 If you want to know more about the code I have sent, let me know.

[wtr-general] Re: Help needed in automation using Watir

[Jim Matthews]

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.

  you can use the IE developer tool bar on IE and firebug on firefox for
  object identification, there is no special object spy which i know off

  for object identification for watir.

  If there is any thing for object spying like for QTP and SILKTEST then

Hi All,

I am doing web application automation using Watir.

The problem I am facing is, whenever we get a new build from
developers there are changes in id, name of some objects. Due to which
our scripts fails and manually we need to find what are the changes by
viewing source code.

This is really hectic and time consuming task. Everytime before
running our Test suite to new build we need to modify scripts.

Does anyone has solution of this problem?

FYI: I am using Test Unit framework to run test cases.

[wtr-general] Re: Unexpected error when Run the code in Netbeans.

[Jim Matthews]

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.

Jim

  Copy paste the code present in the attached text file. And insted of using

If you are trying to put a value in a text_field, you need to use

[wtr-general] Re: click_no_wait and click! not working javascript popup

[Jim Matthews]

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] Re: select_no_wait function does not work for download pop up handling.

[Jim Matthews]

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] Re: Error while running popup script on eclipse

[Jim Matthews]

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.

 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.

  That got me further.

  Now I have a question about click_no_wait. When I use just 'click', I
  get a popup with an OK and Cancel button. When I use click_no_wait, I
  am now not getting any popup. If I use sleep right after
  click_no_wait, does the browser keep going so I would expect to see a
  popup?

  And no, the OK button is not getting clicked to clear the popup.

  Here is the code.

      roles_page.roles.row(:name = Test Role).col1_element.click
  #click on checkbox

  roles_page.bottom_delete.click_no_wait
  # shows confirm dialog (only working if I use click)
      sleep 5
      startClicker
  (OK)
  # try to click OK button, doesn't work

  and startclicker is now

  def startClicker( button_label , waitTime= 9, user_input=nil )
    # get a handle if one exists
    hwnd = nil
    begin
      hwnd = SITE.browser.enabled_popup(waitTime)
    rescue TimeOutException = e #===This
  exception is always thrown right now
      #popup not found

      # OK or whatever the name on the button is
      puts Trying to click on  + button_label

      #
      # this is just cleanup
      w=nil
    else
      puts No popup found

  end

  On a side note, why is enabled_popup defined as part of PageContainer
  if it is meant to be called from a browser object only?

   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

   I am doing something similar with Cucumber and I am having trouble

[wtr-general] Re: enabled_popup internal error

[Jim Matthews]

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.

Here are the steps to reproduct the problem.  First bring up unittests

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.

 I am trying to deal with javascript popups.  I have created the

 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?

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.

Hi Smita - welcome to Watir!

Watir is a Ruby library that allows you to manipulate objects on web
pages, not a framework for tests.  I think you're asking about how to
set up a framework of Watir tests and that depends on your situation.
You might want to check out Test::Unit, RSpec, Rasta and Watirloo as
potential frameworks.

If you haven't already, take a look at the wiki for a tutorial.  The
'Learning More' section has examples of various frameworks.

I hope this helps!

 Hi,

 I am very new to Watir.  Still reading and evaluating it.  I want to

 where can I save methods written in Watir?  Is there any specific

 Thanks

[wtr-general] Re: Problem displaying XML file with XSL in Firefox and Safari

[Jim Matthews]

Good that you could read my mind and know that I was talking about XSL
instead of xls.

Anyway, I tried your new stylesheet and it still works for me in IE
but it still does not work in Firefox for me.  I did not try Safari
yet since it did not work in Firefox.  Any other thoughts?

Does Firefox require a plugin to make this work?

[wtr-general] Anyone have a way of converting ci_reporter XML to pretty html?

[Jim Matthews]

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?

I have Googled and cannot find anything useful.

 Hi Jim!

 I'm also using ci_reporter and I created an xsl stylesheet to

 I've posted an example with my test harness here:

 The files on interest to you will probably be the ReportResults.rb,
 transform-results.xsl and I had to create a batch file to run my

 to do anything with the results file.

 Let me know if you have and questions or problems.

[wtr-general] How close are we to be able to run common tests with Watir and FireWatir

[Jim Matthews]

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.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir 1.6.1 is available for testing

[Jim Matthews]

I am trying to install Watir 1.6.1 on Ruby 1.8.6-27 and am having a
problem.  It looks like the problem you have when you are behind a
proxy, but I am not behind a proxy.  I downloaded all three watir gem
files into the same directory.  When I try to do the gem install, here
is what happens:

C:\Installed_Files\ruby_w_watir_1_6_1\watir_1_6_1gem install watir
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (URI::InvalidURIError)
