Re: [Wtr-general] Watir tests as how-to documents
Thank you all. I will take a look at tools that you suggested.Zeljko-- http://zeljkofilipin.com/ ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] WIN32OLERuntimeError - I get this error after two hours - see details
Hello Nathan, thanks for all the details you included in your initial post. While I don't think I can add anything more to the programming/troubleshooting side of things than have already been offered, I haven't seen anyone yet ask what else is going on in the system. Do you have any other programs or services running in the background? (In particular any monitoring programs in the System Tray?) Have you tried collecting system performance metrics while you run your test? For example, using the Windows Perfmon tool, set up a new Counter Log to trace the CPU and Memory usage of the system and the iexplore process. Make sure to create a Text File (Comma delimited) Log file type so that you can bring the results into Excel and examine them after the test failure. Sysinternals also makes some nice tools that you can use for monitoring your system, including Process Explorer, Filemon, etc. If you can't solve the mystery with the information you have, look for more clues and information.All the best!Cheers.

Do you have any other programs or services running in the background? (In particular any monitoring programs in the System Tray?) Have you tried collecting system performance metrics while you run your test? So just for fun I did this: #3require 'watir'include Watir@ie = IE.new@ie.set_fast_speed1.upto 3000 do |num|@ie.goto(C:\\Documents and Settings\\cmcmahon\\Desktop\\3000\\buttons1.html) puts num@ie.button(:name, b1).clickend##where buttons1.html just goes to itself: input type = button class=italic_button name = b1 id = b2 value = Click Me document.location='buttons1.html'; title = this is button1and found some interesting things. First of all, there's a memory leak. Watch your ruby process in taskmanager and it's clear to see. It's not too egregious, but on a system with other demands on memory, could be a problem. The other thing is a little weirder. On my box at least, if I kill this process and re-start, the next ruby/watir process grabs as much memory as it had when I killed the previous process. I've never seen this behavior before and I can't explain it. At about 2700 clicks, the rate of clicking dropped dramatically, to maybe 2 or 3 clicks every 10 seconds, or even longer. It picked back up again, but at one point it was slow enough that a timeout could definitely have come into play. So I vote for a memory-leak problem or a timeout problem. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
