FYI, Taza Rocks, Page Objects are the only way to maintain thousands of tests and develop fast. Everybody should study Taza framework. There is a wealth of knowledge on testing in there. Especially the way Flow uses Page Objects to accomplish page transitions.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Help with Watir Page Checkers
Are you using IE8 ? or IE 7?
When using IE 8 the IE#check_for_http_error doesn't raise an error as
expected and always returns false.
in IE7 it works.
The implementation checks for IE 7 condition or assumes it's IE6 (yes,
code was written before IE8 here)
this line
if m and m[1] =='7.0'
could be patched as:
if ['7.0', '8.0'].member?(m[1])
this would account for both IE7 and IE8 browsers.
it's a bit late for me and I am too lazy to check further.
but I think this is the reason the error is not raise when using checkers.
Also please check the blog post I did a while back on checkers if you
fancy that stuff.

Hi Marek,
I did what you told me to do and it justs prints a space and nothing
else. I am not sure the checker which ships with Watir is robust
enough to check the page response. I think it doesnt raise any
exception for page which i am testing. The watir page checker code is
below:
def check_for_http_error
# check for IE7
n = self.document.invoke('parentWindow').navigator.appVersion
m=/MSIE\s(.*?);/.match( n )
if m and m[1] =='7.0'
if m = /HTTP (\d\d\d.*)/.match( self.title )
raise NavigationException, m[1]
end
else
# assume its IE6
url = self.document.location.href
if /shdoclc.dll/.match(url)
m = /id=IEText.*?(.*?)/i.match(self.html)
raise NavigationException, m[1] if m
end
end
false
I dont know ruby too well but it seems to be doing some checks on url
and body text of page displayed which i dont think would work
extremely well for all web apps
The error on page looks like:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Access is denied.
Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required
to serve this request. The server may not be configured for access to
the requested URL.
Error message 401.2.: Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server
configuration. Verify that you have permission to view this directory
or page based on the credentials you supplied and the authentication
methods enabled on the Web server. Contact the Web server's
administrator for additional assistance.
so i wrote a custom error checker which uses the
Net::Http.get_response for ruby and that seems to work okay. The code
looks like that.
RESPONSE_CODE_CHECKER = lambda do |browser|
response = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(browser.url.to_s))
raise Watir::Exception::NavigationException unless(response.code =~ /
2|3\d{2}/ )
end
I would appreciate some comments or feeback on this as i am not a ruby
guru ..

Here is another cool trick I learned today.
I remember how cool it was when I found out about watir-console. You know,
that tiny program that's in the /watir/bin folder that automagically requires
watir for you when you want to perform some cool irb-style command line stuff
with watir?
However, I soon learned that watir-console has the same problem in the
windows command line that irb does; whenever you go over a certain command
line limit (somewhere around 80-100 characters) the command line just freaks
out and skips around a bunch of lines. It makes irb completely unusable and
you have to CTRL-C a bunch to get it back to sanity. Well, there is a way to
fix this. All you need to do is type irb --noreadline and command line
sanity will be restored.
So, I was a little sad that I couldn't do the same thing to
watir-console...until today. Since watir console is so simple, you just need
to do the same thing to it that you did on the irb command line.
Specifically, change:
exec irb.bat #{$libs} -r rubygems -r irb/completion -r watir/irb-history -r
watir --simple-prompt --readline
to
exec irb.bat #{$libs} -r rubygems -r irb/completion -r watir/irb-history -r
watir --simple-prompt --noreadline
I don't know why I didn't think about this earlier but oh well. I have
restored command line sanity to my environment and all is well.
Enjoy,
Alan

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Issue with running watir on cygwin`
aha, so at this point I don't know anyone who actually uses the cygwin package ruby. I use c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe which is a OneClickInstaller Ruby and I also use git bash for invoking gem and rake commands. Basically the git bash is the msys promp on windows, a replacement for cmd.exe. So is there are reason you need to use the cygwin ruby? or can you uninstall it. Then install the ruby one click installer and you can still use cygwin prompt to run all ruby stuff anyway marekj Watirloo: Semantic Page Objects in UseCases http://github.com/marekj/watirloo/ Support Watir Project http://pledgie.com/campaigns/2982 On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 9:40 AM, QAguy qablogm...@gmail.com wrote: which ruby returns usr/bin/ruby On Jan 28, 6:14 pm, marekj marekj@gmail.com wrote: I briefly looked at that thread and it looks like he had a Ruby from cygwin package and not a RubyInstaller when you run 'which ruby' does it return /cygdrive/c/ruby/bin/ruby? or /usr/bin/ruby ?

[wtr-general] Re: Bug on minimize, restore and maximize functions - A possible resolution
Hi,
Yes, the browser window movements, max, min, restore, bring_to_front
rely on the DOM title.
The way IE behaves is it displays the location in the title bar if
'title' tag is empty or does not exist.
I have the following extension in Watirloo for dealing with windows in my tests
The code handles 4 cases
1) When title exists then just display title (default)
2) When IE displays inbrowser PDF for example then title does not
exist so the title is the http://url
3) When title is blank and IE displays document from local drive (NOT
http) then locationUrl is a file://c:/data.html representaion but
the title is c:\data.html
4) When title is blank and IE displays from server then then Window
displays http:// location.
Here is the code
http://gist.github.com/141738
and the short version
# Provides the Title of the IE Window
# which may not equal to title DOM value
# When title/title is empty OR does not exist in the DOM
# (for example when PDF is displayed in browser)
# Then return title_from_url string visible in the window
# Else return title DOM value
def title
mytitle = begin
@ie.document.title
rescue WIN32OLERuntimeError = e #unknown property 'title'
log WIN32OLERuntimeError: #{e}
#return empty string for title value empty
end
(mytitle == )? title_from_url : mytitle
end
# When I have a file loaded in browser serverd by file system in
location c:\data\file.html
# And the title tag is empty
# Then url method returns file:/// format file:///c:/data/file.html
# But the window title displays c:\data\file.html
# this method massages the locationUrl and returns its representation
in title bar
def title_from_url
loc = url # relies on IE.url to return @ie.locationUrl and not
@ie.document.url
(loc[0,8] == file:///) ? loc.split(file:///)[1].gsub(/, '\\') : loc
end
Sorry, it's not on github yet and it's not part of Watir becasue I
don't have all the tests loaded. It was hacked for specifi purpose of
dealing with inbrowser PDF loading where I need to bring_to_front and
save PDF locally using AutoIt.
hope this helps someone.

Hello.
I found a bug on these functions minimize, restore and maximize.
To replicate this error is very simple, create a page with no
title or with a empty title.
When this happen IE put the url is the window title.
Then when we try to use one of these functions(minimize, restore
and maximize)
watir will call the function set_window_state in autoit using the
title(code from ie-class):
def set_window_state(state)
autoit.WinSetState title, '', autoit.send(state)
end
but because the title is empty autoit will not find the window
because the window
title is the url and will not do nothing.
I resolved this issue by changing the function title in ie-class
to this:
def title
if(@ie.document.title==)
return @ie.document.url
else
return @ie.document.title
end
end

Is this issue happening only on this piece of text? I don't know the solution to this encoding problem with microsoft cp1252 but you can google it for some answers. As to the code let's break it down into 3 elements. 1. grab text from div with watir mytext = ie.div(:id, Info).text 2. use Ruby to find out if the text contains your string result = mytext.include? First line. Second line. (some text) 3. Finally use Rspec matcher result.should == true Where is the error happening here? it in grabbing the code or running include? or rspec part? Actually for rspec usage you can make a cleaner bdd language ie.div(:id, 'Info').text.should include(First line...etc..) instead of .include?.should == true marekj Watirloo: Semantic Page Objects in UseCases http://github.com/marekj/watirloo/ On Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 7:17 PM, Peacepeaceofmind1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everyone, I have a page with html like this: div id=Info class=ffreq First line. br/ Second line.

[wtr-general] Re: Multiple Attributes for Text Fields
Your issue is using :id
Per html spec there should not be a second instance of the same id on the page.
if element with :id is found on the page Watir will not look for
another instance on the page
If you are stuck with :id and your developer absolutesly refuses to
only maintain one instance of id then
ie.text_fields.select {|tf| tf.id == aaa}[1].click #will blow up if
there is no second one.

[wtr-general] Re: How do I get the page status (200, 404, 500, etc)
Maybe we need to make some distinctions here. I view Watir as a 'browser driver' in the sense that it talks to the DocumentObjectModel of a browser and doesn't care how the browser deals with http protocol (well, we can maybe peek a bit). Watir API is talking to the final composition of html, js, css, etc.. as a DOM entity and not separate the parts that it takes to build it. The browser builds the DOM, Watir can query the DOM and modify it and initiate the submit request to invoke a behavior the way a human user would. What you seem to be asking for is more like HtmlUnit which has a 'webclient as a substitute for a browser' where you can access the 'protocol' the webclient is using. There you can talk http protocol directly. In that paradign HtmlUnit IS the browser while in our paradimg we let the Browser be the Browser and Watir manipulate its DOM. The advantage of Watir is that it can test the final Behaviour as profided by the DOM to the user without managing the structural state of sessions, cookies and http requests. We instruct the browser to fetch a page but by the API which is simulating the way a user would do it using the Browser's mechanisms. This may be a trivial explanation but an important distinction I think. marekj Watirloo: Semantic Page Objects in UseCases http://github.com/marekj/watirloo/ On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 6:26 AM, Jarmo Pertman jarm...@gmail.com wrote: Oh, you're right!

[wtr-general] Re: Watir design patterns?
This is a large topic. For the last two years I have designed frameworks for two clients. In the last year alone I have redesinged a framework twice I think with patterns in mind. The first pattern I used was Adapter which was to put a buffer between semantic naming of elements on the page and the physical DOM elements.This Adapter way of thinking is what Page class I about for me. Translate logical to physical (I see similar way of thinking in Taza and Watircraft and Rasta) The next patterns are Template and Builder. I base most of my test scenarios on the mixture of those two. Builder patterns is great in dealing with various configurations in UseCases where each scenario is a composition of objects that give it whole. Template is the type of patterns where I define the main test scenario and I vary it according to the needed test conditions. I also use Decorators a lot in a form of modules mixed into objects that provide specialized just-in-time implementations. All of it give it loose coupling and rapid ability to reconfigure tests because most of my work I is exploratory testing so i need to configure test conditions quickly to get to a place where I can introduce variance to test a very specific test conditions. I also use Strategy pattern but not too much, it's complicated for me. too much work for ROI. As a teser ROI is important. The most important I think. I need to show to my client that I can do some test condition preparation 'FAST' when it matters. It does not pay to have 'beautifule automated tests' or 'Clean automated tests' the payoff is 'running tests' They have to run and they have to be configured fast. All else is 'window dressing' as I usually say. ROI is important I think so I structure my tests this way. Anyway, this is my two.to_i cents here sharing some thoughts. Good weekend to all and don't forget the Rspec as a 'pattern' . it is worth studying especially the matchers as a way of expressing behavioral expectations and the sequential execution. marekj Watirloo: Semantic Page Objects in UseCases http://github.com/marekj/watirloo/ On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 3:09 PM, Jim Knowlton jknowlton...@gmail.com wrote: I think the biggest thing alot of us Watir developers need is a good guide to design patterns with Watir.

[wtr-general] Re: How to capture unique session ID from URL
Try URI::HTTP class.
if you have url http://hostname/path/to/file?key=valukey2=value42;
then
require 'uri'
uri = URI.parse ie.url
gives you an uri object that conforms to HTTP protocol, so
url.query.split('') # = array of queryitems =['key=value', 'key2=value42']
you can then reconstruct the uri object with whatever you want and pass it
back to watir as
so if you have session = jsessionid=AbraCadA43BraSalthUnd42Pepper you can
add it to existing query
url.query = (queryitems.concat session).join('')
and click it.
uri.to_s # becuse you click text and not object
you end up with this url
http://hostname/path/to/file?key=valukey2=value42jsessionid=AbraCadA43BraSalthUnd42Pepper

Welcome to Ruby and Watir. Glad you jumped in.

[wtr-general] Re: Problems locating basic elements in Watir
I see the wild guess worked. Each document in a frame is probably a separate DOM and I presume the framesets were built as a view so each frame could be refreshed independently. Now you may want to build a map of frames but don't do assignment like this frame = ie.frame(how, what) because if the page refreshes inside the frame your frame variable holds reference to a stale object which does not exist to make sure you always have access to the latest DOM in frames I would build some methods: like so: def browser @ie # or any other browser end def content frame(:id, 'contentFrame') end def top frame(:id, 'frameTop') end now you can access your DOM in a frame browser.content.top.element browser.content.element you decide the semantic method names you want to give to frames you make small method wrappers for your watir code. it helps you clarify what frame is what.

[wtr-general] Re: How to print all the methods in the Class or Module out?
'require' and 'include' are completely two different concepts. When you require a ruby file you tell the current file to look for classes and modules in that file when needed, also any code not wrapped in method will be executed on require automatically. So you have to 'require' other file before you can 'include' modules that it owns. it's not either-or proposition. When you include a module into a class your class inherits methods defined in the module as it's own. You can see this in a decorator pattern. here is a good simple example with Coffee and Cream module http://ruby.simapse.com/2008/08/test.html Let's say you have a 1 bedroom apartment and one day you buy another 1 bedroom apartment next to yours. Now you are the owner of two apartments and you are free to go next door and use anything in that apartment for your needs in your first apartment. Include is like if one day you decide to knock the walls between two apartments and make it one. Therefore you no longer have to go next door, it is now part of your apartment.

[wtr-general] Re: When do you start writing WATiR scripts?
Look at WatirCraft gem and other frameworks Do NOT write tests talking to Document Object Model elements, but DO write tests expressed as Semantic Page Objects, or 'fields' in WatirCraft if you are on the page and you need to enter last name you write page.last_name = 'Manikawalikanisiy' page.first_name = 'Evgeny' better yet page.populate :last_name = 'Foo', :first_name = 'Bar Let Page class act as adapter to DOM and Watir. more here: http://github.com/bret/watircraft/tree/master I think I would call this a Semantic Page Objects Testing approach, some people call this keyword driven testing but the keywords are not action words necessarily, they are 'token' referencing 'objects of interest' on the page and you name then based on your Business Domain model. One can write those tests before UI even exists in a similar manner that Rspec advocates writing examples using code 'you wish you had'. You end up with tests that express intent of business entities and actions and you wire it up to talk to DOM later. This way you build human readable test case library and you end up having it executable at some point. marekj Watirloo: Semantic Page Objects in UseCases Human Readable Machine Executable Acceptance Testing http://github.com/marekj/watirloo/ On Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 8:06 AM, Bhavna Kumar bhavna.ku...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, This is more of a process query than a technical one.

I didn't realize there are now multiple versions of the gem. There's been some development using VS2005 or minGW to compile 1.9.1 for the next One Click Installer to replace the over 10 year old, hard to find MSVC6 compiler to create the c extensions and libraries used by ruby and other gems.

[wtr-general] Re: 1.6.2 - browser.attach question
Lisa, I've encountered a smiliar problem. The issue is that IE has a class method .attach but not an instance method (not needed in my opinion) However FireWatir::Firefox.attach is only an instance method so you can only attach to the browser if you have an existing reference. If you are using IE then the solution is to keep using Watir::IE.attach how, what for your needs (notice this may not run if you don't have admin rigths). Ultimately the goal is to make Browser class be the template that has methods that specific browsers implement so if you do Browser.attach and your browsder is IE it will delegate to IE.attach and if you have firefox it will do Firefox.attach (which does not exist yet) I'm learning this thing a bit and I made some ducktape experiments here with tests (older example) http://gist.github.com/26693 and here (newer example) on watirloo codebase http://www.bitbucket.org/marekj/watirloo/src/tip/lib/firewatir_ducktape.rb I am now using Firefox.new :attach = true option call to just attach to the previously started FF with jssh option in it. This is a hack and has to be understood before using it. currently all watirloo tests will run on IE and Firefox (though some will fail on FF - i need to fix them) all the tests rely on class method attach for Firefox and for IE This file will run all test for firefox with precondition that you have started ff with jssh already and you have it open on the desktop http://www.bitbucket.org/marekj/watirloo/src/tip/test/test_all_ff.rb hope this helps a bit. marekj | Semantic Page Objects Automation Watir Framework http://www.bitbucket.org/marekj/watirloo/ On Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 4:58 PM, Lisa Crispin [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Another question - on the development site you say: Watir 1.6.2 does not support Browser.attach.

[wtr-general] how to attach to Firefox browser

It seems I have to start Firefox every time with new or start but when the script ends I can't attach back to the same window. it looks like the attach method does not attach to the browser but binds popup as belonging to the main browser. ideas? marekj | Semantic Page Objects Automation Watir Framework http://www.bitbucket.org/marekj/watirloo/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.
