[Wtr-general] Clicking on the java script dialog box when IE window is not in focus
Hi, Last few days I have been investigating this and tried all the dialog related tests in the current watir (1.5) code. None of the test I tried works if the IE windows is not in focus. I started digging about how this could be achieved and I came across few win32 api (getting window handle, sending messages to applications) and I got one proof of concept vb code build, which can click on IE javascript dialog when not in focus. My next task was to put it in ruby using win32 api. When doing this I came across guitest tool in ruby and one of the post by Bret mentioning this tool. He mentioned that guitest needed to compiled in cygwin. Nevertheless I gave it a try and to my surprise using nmake I can make the guitest.so libarary which works like charm. I have rewritten the javascript_test.rb using the *click_no_wait* and the guitest and it works like charm. With guitest library my IE window need not be focus when it needs to click on javascript dialog. While investigating I checked out watir code in more details and came across some things which I cant explain to myself. I would appreciate any clarification. 1. WinClicker has almost the code needed to do what I have done. But I could not find any test which does the clicking when IE window is not focused. Question : What was the basic purpose of writing winclicker? 2. Autoit is used to simulate key strokes? Why does Autoit poses the requirement that the windows that it works on needs to be focused. Can't autoit script work on window that it has handle of? 3. What are other features in watir that we can use guitest to enhance? 4. I could not exactly figure out the need for IEDialog as well. 5. My current implementation works by searching for the window with title Microsoft Internet Explorer. Ideally I would like to search for child windows of IE, of which I have handle in ie.hwnd. However for some reason windows does not recognize the javascript dialog as the child window of IE. Surprisingly when I try to find the parent window of dialog it is shown correctly IE as the parent window of javascript dialog box? Any ideas? If anybody wants to checkout this code I can send out the instructions to build guitest.so (or can send the binary itself) and other test code that I have.

[Wtr-general] FireWatir performance and watir on linux
Hi, I have proof of concept for clicking on javascript dialog boxes in firefox on linux using at-spi library. However before I proceed ahead with some more experiments, I wanted to investigate the reason of slowness of FireWatir. 1. Is it because of inherent approach of driving firefox using javascript? 2. Is it because of the jssh server plugin? 3. Is it because of the way jssh plugin being used? Has anybody worked on making it faster if not as fast as IE? For me the speed of FireWatir was one of turn off when it comes using it on linux/firefox. Any inputs will be of great help for moving forward.

[Wtr-general] login popup problem
Hello. I have a problem with a login popup window. I can't set a text (username and password) into a login window which appear after entering to a site. I tried to pass it by going directly to url (http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/) but it doesn't work on IE 6.0. I try to do it this way: w = WinClicker.new handle = w.getWindowHandle(title) w.makeWindowActive( handle ) w.setComboBoxText(handle, login) w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(handle ,OK ) but it is not a good solution.

Re: [Wtr-general] ie.back
Hey Aidy, The back method does a straight call to ie's GoBack method, and according to the comments throws that exception only if for some reason it can't go back. If it is going back then you might want to swallow the exception and add an assert for an element on the page that you hoped to go back to. I don't see any inherent reason why it's throwing the exception, but that's just from a quick look. -CharleyOn 8/10/06, Adrian Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HI, The version of watir is shown in the err msg below.

Re: [Wtr-general] Writing the output of show all objects to a file
This is where Ruby shines. You will probably need to extend Watir, but
that is easy enough.
Here is show_all_objects from watir.rb:
--
def show_all_objects
puts "---Objects in page -"
doc = document
s = ""
props = ["name", "id", "value", "alt", "src"]
doc.all.each do |n|
begin
s += n.invoke("type").to_s.ljust(16)
rescue
next
end
props.each do |prop|
begin
p = n.invoke(prop)
s += " " + "#{prop}=#{p}".to_s.ljust(18)
rescue
# this object probably doesnt have this property
end
end
s += "\n"
end
puts s
end
--
You can see that it explicitly uses "puts" to print to stdout. Instead,
what you probably want is a string. That could hardly be simpler. All
you need to do is replace the second-to-last line ("puts s") with just
"s". That will return the string rather than printing it.
So, just do this in your code:
class Watir::IE
def get_all_objects
body of code from above (between the "def" and "end" lines)
goes here
end
end
Then replace the "puts s" with "s" in that method, and you now have a
new Watir method. If your IE object is called @ie, you can do:
my_objects_string = @ie.get_all_objects
As a side note, it appears to me that the show_all_objects method
really belongs within "Container" rather than "IE", but that is a
separate matter.

Thanks, but the in the text file only the value "nil" is recorded and
the objects are not getting recorded.

[Wtr-general] Navigating in IE frames
Hi. I am building a test tool to automate navigation through a UI with IE frames. Text fields, buttons, lists, and web dialog boxes are all targets for my tool. The examples I see in the watir user guide don't mention frames. I have tried navigating to a text field, using the user guide example, but watir complains that my text field identifier (inpListFilter) is not found (I identified it with SpySmith). Do I have to qualify the identifier with a frame name or set the frame context ?

Re: [Wtr-general] Navigating in IE frames
Yes, you do need to specify the frame. Try something like: ie.frame('FrameName').text_field(:name, inpListFilter ).set(adm )You should be able to incorporate the FrameName into your 'ECMTestFixture' object.
To see the frames that Ruby/Watir sees, try the following at an IRB prompt: ie.show_framesOn 10/08/06, Dave Munns

Re: [Wtr-general] Navigating in IE frames
If you have a web page (ie object named @ie let's say), containing a
frame, which contains another frame, which contains your element, you
would do:
@ie.frame(:id, 'frame1').frame(:id,
'frame2').ECMTestFixture.text_field(:name, "inpListFilter" ).set("adm" )
Of course you can use name or whatever rather than id.
Along that line, can anyone answer this for me? A frame object MUST
have a URL, or the frame will be blank. Does anyone know how I can pull
that property out of the frame? That is, something like frame(:name,
'my_frame').url, which would return a url or nil?
I am aware that there is not a url method for frames within Watir. But
does anyone know how I can code one?

[Wtr-general] Multithreading login access through multiple browsers using Watir
Hi all,
I have a Watir 1.4.1 script driving
a performance test against one of my servers, and wanted to multithread
it to allow multiple browsers to run against the server from the same client
machine.
I have a data file 'user.dat' containing
username and password information that I read in and then insert into the
appropriate text fields on the start up page.
I have a synchronization block around
the access to the username password information as well as one around where
the information is placed into the text_fields.
When I run this script I see the following
behavior, I do not get logins occuring consistantly, usually with a complaint
that the username/password information is incorrect.
When I printed out the username and
passwords that were being used it looked as if the synchronized block was
not being honored.
The console out put from the code below
is
username: SMYTH1230 password:
SMYTH1230
username: SMYTH2367 password:
SMYTH2367
username: SMYTH2394 password:
SMYTH2394
SMYTH1230
SMYTH2394
SMYTH2367
The user name and password are correct
BUT there was a context switch within the synchronized block which switched
the password before the block was completed.
I would have expected to see
username: SMYTH1230 password:
SMYTH1230
SMYTH1230
username: SMYTH2367 password:
SMYTH2367
SMYTH2367
username: SMYTH2394 password:
SMYTH2394
SMYTH2394
Can someone help me with the source
of this problem, is this a problem with Watir or in my use of synchronization
within Ruby?
I appreciate any help you can give
me.
