Re: [Wtr-general] Watir can't find IEnum interface
Thanks Chris, FYI, I uninstalled Ruby 186-25 and Watir 1.5.1.1158 from this machine that fails. The OLE version from this prior install was showing 0.7.1. I loaded Ruby 185-21 and Watir 1.5.1.1136 on my failing machine and still see the problem. I have this same version (Ruby 185-21 / Watir 1.5.1.1136) on another machine running Windows XP and I don't see this problem. The OLE version now shows 0.6.9.

Sorry I can't help more. I'm using ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) and Watir 1.5.1.1158, WinXP. You might try playing with OLE directly. For instance, try to move object from Paint to Word, or something.

Re: [Wtr-general] Watir can't find IEnum interface
I run Brad's code with no problem (thanks for the example!).
Googling, I find that "IEnum interface" is an error coming from Ruby's
WIN32OLE library. The root cause seems to be some kind of error in
the interface between Ruby and Windows on the particular machine.
One very suggestive issue is that Kevin Rutherford's error said
"failed" and not "Failed", and this site
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/3213
suggests that Rutherford has a Ruby WIN32OLE library from 2004 or
earlier.
Based on what we've learned so far, I'll suggest that either the Ruby
installation is flawed, or Windows itself on these particular machines
has a flawed OLE of some sort.
Without more information, my best suggestion is to uninstall and
reinstall Ruby, then re-install Watir on top of the new Ruby. Make
sure you're using the Ruby one-click installer.

Re: [Wtr-general] Reading from excel files (basic)
Hi Nicola, you could try something like this:
excel = WIN32OLE::new('excel.Application')
workbook = excel.Workbooks.Open('C:\Documents and
Settings\kennedyn\My Documents\WATIR_RUBY\excel
_testdata2.xls')
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1) #get hold of the first
worksheet
worksheet.Select
[EMAIL PROTECTED] = []
[EMAIL PROTECTED] = worksheet.Range('a1:z1').value # The data is in cell
a1.
#puts @mydata # to c wether the content is in the array.
excel['Visible'] = true # hide the spreadsheet from view
line = '1'
while val = worksheet.Range("a#{line}")['Value'] #pull the value
stored in the cell while it's valid
ie.goto(val)#use the value
line.succ! #update the line number
end
This will only loop through for the first column a(1-end of valid values).
You can expand it to pull an array if you want.

The test then just ends, with no errors, but the test doesn't take me to the

As an aside as well, I don't want it to enter nil as the web address, so is
there a way once this is fixed, that it knows to stop putting stuff into the
array when the next cell is empty.

$data is not a good idea as the $ stands for global variable. If not needed to
be global remove them and replace with @ or @@ as your definitions needs.

[Wtr-general] Reading from excel files (basic)
Hi,
I am completely new to WATIR, and don't have much programming experience so
forgive the simplicity of this question!
I am just learning the basics and have created a script that calls an excel
file which has a column of web addresses. I have got the scripts to read in the
first value from A1 and when executed, the script goes to that web address.
My question is how do I set the script up to loop round reading in all the web
addresses in the column, so it goes to each web address in turn and then finish
when it gets to an empty line.
My script looks like this at the minute:
require 'win32ole'
excel = WIN32OLE::new('excel.Application')
workbook = excel.Workbooks.Open('C:\Documents and Settings\kennedyn\My
Documents\WATIR_RUBY\excel_testdata.xls')
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1) #get hold of the first worksheet
worksheet.Select #bring it to the front -need sometimes to run macros, not for
working with a worksheet from ruby
excel['Visible'] = false #make visible, set to false to make invisible again.
Don't need it to be visible for script to work
excel = WIN32OLE::new('excel.Application')
workbook = excel.Workbooks.Open('C:\Documents and
Settings\excel_testdata.xls')
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1) #get hold of the first worksheet
worksheet.Select
$data = worksheet.Range('a1')['text'] # The data is in cell a1.
excel['Visible'] = false # hide the spreadsheet from view
workbook.close
excel.Quit
# Insert the data read from the spreadsheet into the text field
#$ie.text_field(:name, 'TEST').set $data
ie.goto('http://' + $data)
