Well it appears from the OP error that the return object

I'm not sure why this is doing it on Win2K8 R2 with IE9, as I don't have
that development platform... but it was tested on Win2K3 with IE9 as Chuck
mentioned.
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
end
end
end
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 Grid Examples Help
I think an easier way would be to parallelize 'outside' the cucumber script
...
Here is what I have:
So I have two feature files each with 2 scenarios
I have 2 step_definition files and an env.rb
My env.rb file looks something like this:
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.dirname(__FILE__))
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', '..', '..',
'..', 'lib'))
require 'watirgrid'
require 'rspec/expectations';
ENV[GRID] = 'true'
ENV[controller_uri] = druby://10.194.192.181:11235
Start the controller manually outside the cucumber scenario, you could just
do this via a dos script e.g.
controller
controller = Controller.new(
:loglevel = Logger::ERROR)
controller.start
so get rid of the above, no need to start a controller within the scenario
In this case just start 1 provider when the cucumber script runs
provider = Provider.new(
:loglevel = Logger::ERROR, :driver = 'webdriver')
provider.start
if ENV[GRID] then
params = {}
params[:controller] = controller
params[:browser_type] = 'firefox'
grid ||= Watir::Grid.new(params)
just take 1 provider, because at the time, there will only be 1 available on
the grid
grid.start(:initiate = true, :quantity = *1*, :take_all = true)
else
@browser ||= Watir::Browser.new :firefox
end
Before do |scenario|
@grid = grid
@browser = grid.providers.first
end
at_exit do
grid.iterate do |browser|
browser.close
end
grid.release_tuples
end
So to run in 'parallel' in a hacky way (just to get things going)
in 3 dos shells run the following
controller
cucumber feature1.feature
cucumber feature2.feature
I'm having a holiday shortly and will think about better ways to parallelize
within cucumber...

Re: [wtr-general] Watir Grid Examples Help
Hi Usman, I can probably help you =) The correct order to start up a grid is: 1. start the controller on a central machine e.g. controller when it starts up it will tell you what its URI is. This is what you'll use to connect other providers e.g. I, [2011-06-04 08:22:15 #99844] INFO -- : Controller started on : *druby:// 10.0.1.158:11235* 2. Now on the remote machines, start up the providers e.g. provider -d webdriver -c *druby://10.0.1.158:11235* Note I need to specify a driver (-d) and the controller's URI (-c). You should see something like this in the console.

Re: [wtr-general] Watir Grid Examples Help
Hi Usman, If you follow the cucumber example you can indeed run 2 or more instances of a webdriver browser on one machine. Line 13 in env.rb should be changed to n.times where n is the desired number of browsers ... But beware that running multiple browsers on a single core (machine) is not ideal in terms of performance. You'll probably find browser performance will degrade after 5 or so parallel browsers. YMMV. And yes you can start and stop a controller/providers programatically rather than a command line. There's plenty of examples in the git repo (as well as its spec test cases) which do this... The next question you'll probably ask is how can you then divide the cucumber scenarios up between the different browsers so the entire suite can be processed more quickly. As in run different scenarios at the same time.

Problem is we can't easily fire those in watir because the .fire_event method only takes a single parameter (the event) and I believe to work properly keypress needs a parameter for the value of the key that was depressed. You might need to write your own function that executes the javascript fireevent function instead, similar to this item from Stackoverflow a year or two ago http://stackoverflow.com/questions/602069/autocomplete-dropdown-test-with-ruby-watir Another alternative is described here http://zbarzone.blogspot.com/2008/08/watir-sendkeys-and-javascript.html and that approach might actually be better for you. To fix this 'for real' it seems we'd need to first modify .fire_event to allow for a second parameter, or create a new method such as .fire_key_event that would take two parameters. Then any other methods that have keypress events in them such as .set would need to be altered to fire the down/press/up events character by character and fire those events with the proper 'key' values for each character.

Re: [wtr-general] Watir for Chrome(Shut down issue)
If Jari is asleep since it's 2am in Oslo, the remote url syntax is the url
of the remote webdriver server
e.g.
Watir::Browser.new(:remote, :url = 'http://localhost:')
NOT the url of the system under test ..
So point it to whatever URL the chrome driver has started up and is
listening on I assume it is:
(:remote, :url = http://localhost:9515;)

It's not weird at all, it's intentional behaviour on our side since we
can't currently shut down the server (the chromedriver.exe you
downloaded) without shutting down all Chrome instances. 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. Shut down chromedriver.exe manually
I'm surprised if you're able to exit IRB and leave any Chrome
instances running. That sounds like IRB isn't doing proper cleanup
(i.e. not calling at_exit hooks).

Re: [wtr-general] taza no longer works after upgrade to Ruby 1.8.7/ Watir 1.8.0
Looks like you still have another version of Ruby on your system at c:/ruby If you're re-installing or changing versions, make sure you get rid of references to old binaries in your %PATH% especially for ruby and gem executables. Also delete any old ruby directories / gemfiles in your application / document settings path that may have not been cleaned up by the uninstall. If reinstalling from scratch I recommend using ruby 1.8.7 with the latest version of Watir.

The limitation with browser based testing is the resources required on which
to drive the browsers! BrowserMob have reduced this (but they only support
Selenium). I'm thinking of something similar for Watir users. I've also been
experimenting with headless tests (watir-webdriver with htmlunit) with a
fair amount of success, which increases your bang-for-box. I'll talk about
some of this at Watir day in any case.
In my experience, not every load test is thousands of users. I've load
tested some awful intranet apps that have fallen over well before 100 users
... So you may get some mileage out of Watir yet ... Protocol level testing
is probably better for load tests with thousands of users though based on
bang-for-box. I expect there's an undiscovered sweet spot somewhere there
where the cost per vuser shifts in favour of protocol level (when using
commercial licensed tools) testing.

Tim

Generally speaking, in order to handle a large pool of threads and be
able to scale the load, most loadtesting is done at the protocol
(HTTP) level, not using full blown browser based clients.
Since most load is not from simple page hits against static or cached
pages, you need to actually be interacting with the server as would a
large number of unique users. Most decent webservers can serve cached
copies of a static page until the pipe saturates without overloading
the server or the back end. So having 200 users doing the same
search, doesn't create the load you need.
So what you need is a system where thread to use its own unique data,
so you can simulate a hundred different users, shopping for 80-100
different items, or doing different searches or whatever. (and 100 is
just to start, a true loadtest often simulates interacting with many
thousand users over a period of an hour or so)
While I might use Watir to conduct a functional test DURING a
loadtest, I would not use it to apply the load.
Despite the existence of the example, I personally would not do
loadtesting with watir. I'd use something like the loadtesting tool
in VS2010, Jmeter, or if you can afford it, Loadrunner. (which one
would work best and provide the best bang for the buck depends on your
server environment)

Re: [wtr-general] [Watir launching] Unable to launch Watir by require 'watir'
Good idea, I've since updated this page to reflect. Loading RubyGems If you’re a first time Ruby user, you need to understand how to load Ruby gems such as Watir. You can require it via the -rubygems command line option or by using the RUBYOPT environment variable. You can also require it manually in your script: require 'rubgyems' For more information see herehttp://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page70 .

[wtr-general] Re: [Wtr-development] Vapir
This makes no sense to me. Shouldn't we just merge important changes like modal support into Watir main? Or am I missing something? Is vapir a silent protest of sorts? Regards, Tim On 06/05/2010, at 3:47, Ethan notet...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Watir people, I am happy to announce the release of the Vapir library, which is a fork of Watir and FireWatir. It is documented primarily at the github wiki at http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/ Documentation is sorely lacking at the moment, and improving it is my highest priority, but putting the code out for people to use preceded that. Links to other aspects of the forked project are listed at http://vapir.org/ The API is in most cases the same, with some changes where I felt it was best; these are enumerated at http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/differences-from-watir-api It is a release candidate currently, and can be installed using the --pre flag to rubygems (rubygems 1.3.6 is required; run gem update --system if you are on an earlier version). gem install --pre vapir-firefox gem install --pre vapir-ie Major improvements over Watir are: - Modal dialog API which is (mostly) consistent between IE and Firefox - http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/modal-dialogs - Unified codebase for both Firefox and IE interaction - basically, everything that works in IE works in Firefox as well, which is not the case with FireWatir. - Many bug fixes and feature enhancements for issues in Watir's issue tracker, which will be documented more thoroughly on the wiki in the coming days. I would encourage any questions or discussion to go to Vapir's mailing list, not Watir's. The forked project is intended to stand on its own, separate from the Watir library due to a great deal of changes in the codebase which make it to some degree (a small degree, hopefully) incompatible.

[wtr-general] Re: Answering incomplete requests
I also like the tone of that page. I think it's a really bad idea to either humiliate people or go over- the-top with rules like SQAForums. Maybe some people are lazy, others might just be ignorant but I try not to judge as I don't know their circumstances. The questions I've answered here and via justaddwatir.com were well placed and helped me understand watir better in answering them so it's been a positive experience for me. Guess what I'm saying, the choice is the collective (ours) as to whether or not poorly described problems get answered!

[wtr-general] Re: Performance Testing
At the company where I work using oss tools for performance testing (www.altentee.com) we often use JMeter to 'spin up the wheels' or as Chuck put it, conduct 'protocol' level testing. At the same time we also run a quasi-smoke test if you like, using Watir to conduct 'browser' level testing. Protocol level tests do apply load differently albeit in subtle ways. Things like re-use or discontinued use of http connections, parallel execution of browser threads, client render time (DOM tree parsing and javascript processing) sometimes have an effect on end user response time. I have seen peculiar behavior of browsers (particularly IE) when the SUT is under load or when emulating network conditions (latency bandwidth). Things like '1 items remaining' or hung AJAX calls or even large discrepancies b/w protocol level response time and *actual* browser level response times... That's why we see significant value in using Watir + JMeter/the Grinder/OpenSTA at the same time. Operations such as BrowserMob (using selenium to control ur botnet) is useful in the sense it does sometimes simplify the script effort for your load test. We generally script 80% of the SUT with JMeter, but the other 20% often complicated by pesky AJAX controls and the like are sometimes easier done in Selenium and/or Watir. Another great use of Watir is to generate your load scripts in JMeter from Watir scripts. It sounds like overkill, but if you know you will be re-scripting again and again due to successive code drops etc, it's often easier to generate maintain these from Watir scripts i.e. playback watir with the JMeter/Badboy proxy/recorder after each code drop. Once you get familiar with the SUT you generally have a template bunch of regex extractors etc to apply to your freshly generated load scripts. I prefer to read Watir scripts rather than look at .jmx or .c files...

Yes, that's how it will be 'used' but how can the server tell? The point of a loadtest is to see how your servers hold up under load, that load takes the form of http requests.. How exactly is the server supposed to be able to tell the difference between requests generated by a browerser, or a protocol evel tool that emulated the requests sent by the browser? I fail to see what value you are adding for the expense of having to maintain scripts for two different platforms (protocol level vs browser level). If you REALLY want to experience the 'user experience' while the test is running, just interact manually with a browser. The approach I take is when we are developing a functionality in an iteration I tend to use something like http clients to find bottlenecks and correct them. This gives me a fast feedback on parts I need to concentrate on. But once the app is in good shape where I can use it I tend to prefer using real browsers to test it along with http clients. The advantage of real browser approach is it is how the app will be used as well it takes away lots of complexities like ajax processing, streaming away from you. Again I fail to see the advantage.. emulating ajax processing doesn't matter, all that matters is what kind of post or get resuts when that processing is done and the user responds to it. If there's a delay due to the ajax or the user 'reading' or filling in a form or whatever, that's what Think Time is for. Steaming can be trickier I'll admit, but there are some things out there for testing flash and such that will let you start up a large number of streams and maintain them for however long you want. But ultimately we get back to the question of 'how can the server tell the difference' because if it can, then you have an issue with your loadtest tool, and if it can't why bother with the browser? The disadvantage is it is not possible to run more than three browsers at a time as they are resource heavy. There's also the expense of maintaining two sets of scripts/tests. And so clouds may help to scale in this issue. IF you have a suitable connection to the intenet that you can afford to load up with cloud traffic perhaps.. If you are running a production site you dare not clog it's pipe with loadtest traffic. So that means you need two more pipes one for the cloud load to arrive on, and one for a 'back channel' that you use to control the cloud, and receive instrumentation regarding response times, lost packets or failed responses, and perhaps telemetry as to what the scripts are doing at a particuar moment.. which you wil then need to correlate with the instrumentation
[wtr-general] Re: Ruby integration with TestLink
Natasha, there's an API already available which you could use as a
client. As Manish has mentioned, it would be relatively simple to
execute test cases. To update, you could just use the sample ruby
client implementation ... Do you have specific functionality in mind
that you're looking to implement? If so, it might be worth mentioning
so some of us can have a hack at it =)
