[wtr-general] Watir (chrome+options) failing with new versions of libs
I installed up a new machine with ruby, watir, and selenium-webdriver and
the script (that still runs on the previous version) now will not start
I produced a minimal script below and the reported error (with version
numbers visible in the dump)
Is there a workaround to get the new machine going. I tried to uninstall
the gems and install the older versions but this did not appear to work and
just installed the same versions again.
--- simple script
require 'watir'
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new
options.add_argument('--disable-infobars')
driver = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, options: options

[wtr-general] Suggested code amendment for: Watir::Element#flash
I'd like to suggest a minor update to Watir::Element#flash
I have added three parameters to remove the hard coded values only. I gave
them defaults so if not provided the function is backwards compatible.
But this allows the external caller to choose what color they want to flash
the element , how many time, and how fast.
#
# Flashes (change background color to a new color and back a few times)

#
# @examples
# browser.text_field(name: "new_user_first_name").flash
# browser.text_field(name:
"new_user_first_name").flash("green",3,0.05)
#
def flash(color="yellow",flashes=5,delay=0.1)
background_color = style("backgroundColor")
element_color =
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].style.backgroundColor", @element)
flashes.times do |n|
nextcolor = (n % 2 == 0) ? color : background_color
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].style.backgroundColor =
'#{nextcolor}'", @element)
sleep(delay)

[wtr-general] Re: angular login
The solution below assumes the input fields should eb treated as input
elements and uses the sendkeys, I always add the hash brackest - I just
find it easier to as other attributes later.
The browser new command has a few usefull switches to maximize the browser
by removing user features (since there is no user), removes the popup that
tells you the browser is being automated, and also removes the horrid save
password feature for the session (since automation does not need or use
it). Thought you might like those since this is a login.
require 'watir'
browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :switches => %w[--disable-infobars
--disable-gpu], :prefs=> { 'credentials_enable_service'=>false }
browser.goto("https://apps.vizlly.com/dms-angular/#/login;)

[wtr-general] Watir - some VERY slow functions
I finally found a performance issue and it was in the watir library.
If a page (and dont get me started about it) has 200 plus radio
buttons and your watir script decides to print all the attributes like
so
radios = ie.radios()
for radio in radios
puts radio.name
puts radio.value
end
Then please be ready to wait for 16 Minutes .
It seems it goes slower and slower as the process runs ... asking for
the name or value of the 200th will take a LOT longer than asking for
the name/value of the 1st.
I was somewhat confused when I called ie.radios the documentation
suggests it returns an array of radios. But that would imply that
asking for a property on the first item in the arrray would be exactly
the same speed as asking for a property on the last (which clearly it
is not).
Now I started to do the same parsing of the document as done by
show_all_objects but I had difficulty replicating some attributes
(like a links text) and some of the element types.
Could someone please look at the performance issues with these
functions or suggest a function that could output all the page
elements. I was using the code below and calling with say
puts objectlist(ie.links)
puts objectlist(ie.forms)
puts objectlist(ie.text_fields)
puts objectlist(ie.radios)
puts objectlist(ie.checkboxes)
puts objectlist(ie.select_lists)
puts objectlist(ie.file_fields)
puts objectlist(ie.buttons)
Now normally I was only outputting one when the user called sa radio
(:id,'xxx') and it failed I'd output objectlist(ie.radios) so they
could see all the radios that exist. But the performance has meant I
have had to comment all that out for now.
def objectlist(objects)
objs_info = []
index=1
objects.each {|f|
obj_info = []
obj_info.push(:index=#{index})
index+=1
begin
if (f.object_id!=)
obj_info.push(:id=#{f.object_id})
end
rescue
end
begin
if (f.name!=)
obj_info.push(:name=#{f.name})
end
rescue
end
begin
if (f.text!=)
obj_info.push(:text=#{f.text})
end
rescue
end
begin
if (f.value!=)
obj_info.push(:value=#{f.value})
end
rescue
end
puts obj_info.join(, )
objs_info.push(obj_info.join(, ))
}
return objs_info
end

[wtr-general] Re: How do I get the page status (200, 404, 500, etc)
Thanks for all the replys. At first I was quite excited then realized they would make additional calls - the cookies, session, conversation elements would all be a nightmare. Not to mention that the load balancer may give valid results sometimes and invalid the next (say if one server is bad). The reason I do this is becase I do not treat Watir as a tool to test with but a Frameword in which to build test tools. When someone in my tool says goto I get water to go to the page, time the response, do a screenshot, spellcheck, send the page for html validation, store a summary of the elements and html, and if requested simulate a printer view of the page, etc. All somewhat a waste of time if the page is a 500 error. And I do not know what the user is going to verify next, all they said was goto I do think I have openssl in the set of tools my workbench installs ... could this be elaborate on as a solution? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

So you can build a function that takes in both an Integer, String, or Regex and then matchs it without having to build a case or switch if (parameter.matches(value)) note parameter could be any of the three types and the correct match function will apply. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

[wtr-general] Re: Posting invalid form data with Watir
Found a solution ie.text_field(itemtype,itemname).value=text works just fine. Also use the same technique to select options (choice) in a combo where that value may not already exist s = ie.select_list(itemtype,itemname) texts = s.getAllContents if (texts==[]) fail This function requires the list to contain at least one value already end o = s.option(:text,texts[0]) o.setvalue(choice) s.select_value(choice) Next will be unselecting all the radios ..., submitting forms with fields not on the form, or without pressing any or the known submit buttons. These tests are intended to ensure the Server also validates inputs and does not leave it to the Webpage. If you dont understand why this testing is important google OWASP, it is a serios threat to many systems. And users can do this using easily downloadable tools like Firefox's tamperdata. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

[wtr-general] How do I get the page status (200, 404, 500, etc)
I must be missing something but I spent some time yesterday trying to get the page status code. But I could not find this anywhere. I want to know if the page I requested failed in some way(404,500), was from the cache(302), or was successfully fetched(200). How do I get the page status?

[wtr-general] watir.rb - matches functions
In watir.rb there are several class additions to add a matches function that is similar in each type (see below). Wouldn't it be a little more consistent if they all returned the same data types. Regexp.matches returns MatchData or nil The others return true or false class String def matches(x) return self == x end end class Regexp def matches(x) return self.match(x) end end class Integer def matches(x) return self == x end end --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

[wtr-general] Posting invalid form data with Watir
In previous versions of watir I used to send 11 characters to a field that had a maxlimit of 10. This would ensure the server also checked the parameter and did something sensible (truncate or error message). The newer version seems a bit safer and ie.text_field (:index,1).set (01234567890) just truncates the input to the maxlength. Ok I accept that and found I could use ie.text_field (:index, 1).value=01234567890 in the instances where I wanted to do the server side validation. NOW THE PROBLEM How do I do that for a combo box? I want to send a value that is not in the list of options. One way might be to add the item and then send it (sorta the same thing I guess). In any case the server should again check and handle this. And I bet the next question I ask will be around Radios and Checkboxes? Setting/sending invalid values. BACKGROUND For those unfamiliar with OWASP threats (google that) and see that this is amongst the most common vulnerabilities in security. You cannot assume the web browser will safeguard inputs. In fact till now we have manually used Firefox and Tamperdata to do this. But the task is very difficult and time consuming - So I want to automate these tests too. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

[wtr-general] table row_count incorrect
The following watir code is enough to demonstrate the flaw in the row_count method. The table has 2 rows - but watir return 6. The problem is tables embedded in tables and the rowcount simply counting TR tags from the outside. Therefore it counts inner table rows as well Code can then fail when cycling through the rows - the code below fails when you try to access row 3 (of the 6 rows) when in fact there are only 2 rows. ie = Watir::IE.new() ie.goto(https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount;) t = ie.table(:index,1) puts t t.row_values(3) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.
