[Wtr-general] Unable to locate cells by text
Hello. I am using Ruby 1.8.2 and Watir 1.4.1 installed from the one click installer. I cannot seem to access cells by text. IEs dev tool bar shows them clearly in the DOM but ie.cell(:text, text in the cell).exists? returns false ie.show_all_objects doesnt show them either. The most curious thing is that the tests used to work like this before but I had upgraded Watir to 1.5.somethingorother and ruby to 1.8.5. This caused all sorts of issues so I down graded back to square one and this problem appeared. Is there something I may have forgotten to install or a library I may be missing? Let me know if you need any additional info from me to assist. Thank you!

If you need to remain with 1.4.1 then perhaps you can try an alternate method to get to that cell? I don't have 1.4.1 loaded, but try ie.table(:index, 1)[1][1].exists? and see if that works in 1.4.1.

[Wtr-general] Multiple Security alerts
Hello,
I am trying to automate the login for a web application that
presents more than one security alert. The first is presented for the SSL
connection to the login page. The login page is a front end for CAS (central
authentication service) CAS has then opens an SSL connection to one of the load
balanced instances of tomcat. This results in getting two security popups.
Before this CAS set up was implemented, we just had one
security alert that was simply handled with the multi-threaded solution shown on
the wiki for WATIR 1.4
The old scheme basically created a thread to monitor the presense
of a popup and click ok if it found one, and also to pass the code block that
causes the popup to another thread. I have tried nesting them but that doesnt
seem to do it.
Example;
if conf.has_security_alert
Popup.new(@ie, Security Alert, fast_popup=true).click_ctl(Yes)
[EMAIL PROTECTED](url)} //Original method, works
fine for one pop up. Passes whatever is in {} to the other thread while the
main thread looks for the popup.
Here is what I have tried with no luck
if conf.has_security_alert
Popup.new(@ie, Security Alert, fast_popup=true).click_ctl(Yes)
{Popup.new(@ie, Security Alert, fast_popup=true).click_ctl(Yes)
[EMAIL PROTECTED](url)}}
Also tried;
Popup.new(@ie, Security Alert, fast_popup=true).click_ctl(Yes)
[EMAIL PROTECTED](url) Popup.new(@ie,
Security Alert, fast_popup=true).click_ctl(Yes) [EMAIL PROTECTED](url)} }
Here is where I define the class Popup
require 'watir'
require 'win32ole'
class Popup
#

Perhaps it was a mistake or misunderstanding, but it came across as a rather blatant insult I shouldnt have to really say this sort of thing, and I would prefer if things like this didnt need to be discussed on this list, but If you admit there is possibility that you may have made a mistake in your interpretation of the Brets action you cannot justify your response based on anything being blatent as this would mean there was no room for interpretation.

Lonny, just because you have volunteered at times to help out and share does not entitle you to any assistance at all from anyone.

That method appears to be in the testUnitAddons.rb file in the watir
directory in 1.4 -- can't you simply do one of the following:
1- copy the method and paste it into the 1.5 testUnitAddons.rb file
(assuming it exists - I can't confirm as I
haven't been able to install and use 1.5 successfully yet -
problems with the attach method),
2- extend the Test::Unit::Assertions module in your test file
3- simply require testUnitAddons.rb in your test files?
Below is the method from Test::Unit::Assertions in testUnitAddons.rb
def assert_arrayEquals(expectArray, actualArray, message = nil )
_wrap_assertion do
assert_block(assert should not be called with a block.) {
!block_given? }
assert_equal(expectArray.length, actualArray.length, Lengths
did not match)
assert_block(contents are different. ){ compareArrays(
expectArray, actualArray) }
end #_wrap

Re: [Wtr-general] Help! My database query works, my logic does not...
if ( $testval[0][0] == $search )
Should be:
If ( $testval == $search[0][0])
Not the other way around. $search is your results set as per this line
of code:
$search = dbh.select_all(SELECT T_COLUMN FROM QA.TEMP_TABLE WHERE
T_COLUMN = '#{$testval}' )
here is a usefull little excerpt from
http://www.kitebird.com/articles/rubydbi.html#TOC_10
[excerpt]
row = dbh.select_one(statement)
rows = dbh.select_all(statement)
select_one executes a query and returns the first row as an array, or
nil if the query returns no rows. select_all returns an array of
DBI::Row objects. (You can access the contents of these objects as
discussed earlier.) The array will be empty if the query returns no
rows.

if ( $testval = $search )
should be
if ( $testval == $search )
there may be other problems too - do you need to specify which row
column the
value comes from? ( I cant remeber how this works off the top of my
head)
ie - perhaps it also needs to be, where [0][0] is the row and column
number
from the result set
if ( $testval[0][0] == $search )
Regardless of whether testval (in this case ASDF1234) is in the
database, the conditional logic always returns true.
The select statement is working, but I think the syntax of my if/else
conditional logic is incorrect.

Re: [Wtr-general] Beep for intervention?
You can't do that with Watir, but you can with ruby in general. Remember that you are not limited by Watir to what you can do in your test scripts. Your upper limit is with Ruby. You can program a notification in ruby when it gets to a specific part of your script. Maybe you would like it to open an alert box or play a sound or something like that? You can find code in the libraries on how to do nifty things like this.

Re: [Wtr-general] Grouping Test Cases
The way I had been going about it:
TestSuite
Requires testcase_classes, is the master test script.
Testcase_classes are classes containing individual
testcases
class TestClass Test::Unit::TestCase
Test cases are methods with names like:
test_xx_description
I just run the TestSuite and it runs all the tests in each class.
I named the classes based on each module of the app I'm testing, the
tests are named by what they are checking for.
