Re: [Wtr-general] Identifying "Last" object using Index: -1 ???
Howdy,
I am not sure this will help. Here is an example of how we have been able
to locate data in table cells.
Create a file called MSNTest.rb with this code:
# CLS February 7,2007 Example for finding table data
#includes:
require 'watir' # the watir controller
require "rexml/document"
require "date"
require '/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit'
require '/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'
require 'watir/WindowHelper'
require '/Apps/watir_bonus/examples/Stuff.rb'
include REXML
include Watir
include Stuff
puts "## Begin Test - MSN Table Test"
class MSN_Test < Test::Unit::TestCase
include Watir
def setup
@ie = IE.new
@ie.goto("http://www.msn.com";)
end
def test1
assert(@ie.link(:text, "Sports").exists?)
# @ie.show_all_objects
@ie.show_tables
Table.new(@ie.table(:index, 1)).printPretty
end
end
#
#
# END - MSN test
In the same directory create a file called Stuff.rb with this code:
# This module uses REXML to parse the XML.
# REXML is available at http://www.germane-software.com/software/rexml/
require "rexml/document"
require "date"
include REXML
# There is no need for the test to require or include REXML.
module Stuff
# The Table class provides convenience methods for accessing data in
# WATIR tables
class Table
#The constructor for Table takes a WATIR table and
# assigns it to the instance variable @table
def initialize(table)
@table = table
end
#Takes a string and two integers. Returns the contents of
# the table cell at the index of the second integer for the
# row where the string is in the cell at the index of the
# first integer.
# Example: myTable.assoc("findMe",2,4) finds the row of
# the table where the text "findMe" is in the second column,
# and returns the contents of the 4th column
def assoc(text,rowFinder,targetCell)
@table.each { |row|
if row[rowFinder].to_s.include? text
return row[targetCell].to_s
end
}
return nil
end
def printPretty()
rows = 0
@table.each { |row|
rows += 1
puts "row " + rows.to_s + ":"
print "\t"
cells = 0
row.each { |cell|
cells += 1
print "cell " + cells.to_s + ": [" + cell.to_s + "]\t"
}
print "\n"
}
puts
"-"
end
end
end
Execute the MSNTest..rb script to see the results of the content of the
table on the MSN home page. This site happens to only have one table, but
if there were multiple tables just use the index value of the table your
target data resides (Table.new(@ie.table(:index, ??)).printPretty).
Good luck,
Carl

Re: [Wtr-general] A Different WIN32OLERuntimeError (Ruby)
I know that I am a newcomer to this thread...so please excuse the buttin.
I do not seem to have any problem starting Internet Explorer using ruby.
>> require 'win32ole'
=> true
>> ie = WIN32OLE.new("InternetExplorer.Application")
=> #(WIN32OLE:0x312facc)

an empty IE window shows up when I click on the Windows Internet tab at the

This occurs wether or not there is another instance of IE running.

Re: [Wtr-general] renaming sheets in Excel
One way to do it, once you identify your instance of Excel, say, as "myExcel", you can modify them as such: (note that the numbers correspond to the workbook number, determined by the order it was created / opened and the actual worksheet tab at the bottom, respectively, which Excel considers a collection, one-based) myExcel = WIN32OLE::new( "Excel.Application" ) myExcel.Workbooks.Open( myFilePath + myInputFileName ) myExcel.Workbooks( 1 ).Worksheets( 1 ).name = "Custom Sheet Name" Deleting them like this if you want: @@ExcelOutput.Workbooks( 1 ).Worksheets( 3 ).delete() There is no WIN32API method for simultanesouly creating and naming a new worksheet.

Ah. Thanks for the info. I haven't noticed that problem/error before on my
system that's running Ruby 184-20 and Watir 1.4.1, so I never really looked
closely at what the underlying calls are.
As far as I'm concerned, if it works don't look any further. ;-)
Good luck. Paul C.

When I use this Watir command you have suggested, it unwraps it and sends
essentially the WIN32OLE command to create a new IE instance, so in turn:
[ myIE = IE.new() ] == [ myIE = WIN32OLE::new( "
InternetExplorer.Application" ) ]
So this Watir command: `IE.new()` does this:
IE.new() —› IE object constructor: `initialize()`
—› `initialize()` calls `create_browser_window()` —›
`create_browser_window()` executes this command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] =
WIN32OLE.new('

Having used Ruby's WIN32OLE library for some years to automate MS apps, I
wanted to see what the error would be like if I used that code. The error
you get back from Watir is different and IMO not as informative as the one
you get from Ruby when executing the initialization code that throws the

My button is nested in a table. Any thoughts on how I can access/identify this object using 'index' or something else. Thanks for your help! - Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=6471&messageID=18330#18330 ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] A Different WIN32OLERuntimeError (Ruby)
When I use this Watir command you have suggested, it unwraps it and sends
essentially the WIN32OLE command to create a new IE instance, so in turn:
[ myIE = IE.new() ] == [ myIE = WIN32OLE::new( "InternetExplorer.Application" )
]
So this Watir command: `IE.new()` does this:
IE.new() —› IE object constructor: `initialize()` —›
`initialize()` calls `create_browser_window()` —›
`create_browser_window()` executes this command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] =
WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')`
Having used Ruby's WIN32OLE library for some years to automate MS apps, I
wanted to see what the error would be like if I used that code. The error you
get back from Watir is different and IMO not as informative as the one you get
from Ruby when executing the initialization code that throws the error.

I didn't fully read this thread, this is exactly what is happening to me, I traced the to the Ruby level in my post, "A Different WIN32OLERuntimeError", even though it is exactly the same problem this gentleman is having =| I want to think this may somehow be related to a .NET Framework [automatic?] update that took place at some point.

[Wtr-general] A Different WIN32OLERuntimeError (Ruby)
Ok everyone, if you can find a solution to this annoyance I will be extremely happy. Here is the scenario, when I initially installed Ruby/Watir on my machine it worked great. At some point some configuration was changed/software was installed/etc and now I am encountering this error: Configuration: WinXP Pro, Ruby v1.8.5, Watir 1.4.1 [u]Scenario 1[/u]: Assumption(s): no `iexplore.exe` processes are running If I try to instantiate an InternetExplorer object via Ruby, I get the following error: [b]irb(main):002:0> myIE = WIN32OLE.new( "InternetExplorer.Application" ) WIN32OLERuntimeError: failed to create WIN32OLE object from `InternetExplorer.Application' HRESULT error code:0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified. from (irb):2:in `initialize' from (irb):2:in `new' from (irb):2[/b] [u]Scenario 2[/u]: Assumption(s): at least one `iexplore.exe` process is running Now I am able to execute the exact same command and it works perfectly. I realize this may be slightly out of the realm of Watir expertise, as it seems to be a general Ruby / WIN32OLE error; however, I encounter this error when running Watir's IE object initialization methods. A few resolutions I have tried already: 1) completely uninstall Ruby & Watir > reinstall 2) tried several different `win32ole.c` files 3) smash keyboard with closed fists and banging mouse against desk None of them seemed to make any difference. Even after a clean install the same error exists. I can get around this by making sure an `iexplore.exe` instance is running before kicking off any of my scripts from my local machine; however, that is undesireable and I am curious regarding the nature of the error. Another note that may be of use is the fact that this error does not happen on any of my coworker's machines. I have configured Ruby/Watir on several other QA staff machines to kick of automation, and it works fine there – regardless of whether an instance of `iexplore.exe` is running or not. I would love a solution that didn't involve reinstalling Windows in any shape. If anyone can shed some light on this mysterious occurance I would really appreciate it.

Hopefully this will answer my > question, and hopefully there will not be a lot to change. The cool thing about ODBC is that it is a standard. In Windows/MSSQL, you use Administrative Tools > Data Sources to make it possible to use the standard commands. For Windows/Oracle, or whatever, there are ODBC drivers available. On other platforms like Linux/PostgreSQL or Linux/MySQL, there are other ways to implement ODBC. Using a native database driver is more efficient, and using the DBI library is more powerful (I think) but ODBC in my experience is by far the simplest and most portable way to talk to databases. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

Re: [Wtr-general] How do I connect to MS SQL 2005 using Ruby?
Thank you so much. I didn't think of just require "odbc". Now I need to get my db into MSSQL and try it out. I'm not testing the database, but rather using it to store results of tests. It was just a requirement from one of our lead developers who wanted some performance tests for our website with Watir. We already have a MySQL version going, but I didn't see an obvious MSSQL adapter anywhere in Ruby, and not in the docs that are installed with Ruby on Windows. ODBC I know about from developing in Java with JDBC, but whenever they wanted to switch over to Microsoft databases we needed to use ODBC to connect (using Administrative Tools > Data Sources). Hopefully this will answer my question, and hopefully there will not be a lot to change. As far as Active Record goes, I'm not against it as long as I don't need to be running any extra servers (like WeBrick). I'm running my scripts on minimalistic WinXP VM images, and they can't handle a lot, nor should they need to, PLUS our website is very media heavy, which slows things down anyway. So I need a solution that behaves similarly to the MySQL gem. The obvious, an ODBC gem, doesn't seem to exist, but now I know that ODBC is part of Ruby (for Windows at least).
