Re: [Wtr-general] little framework
Looks good. In your setup I would wrap $ie with a global function (internet_explorer or some such). I would then use that global function through out your class files. This could save you a headache down the road :) ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] little framework
instead of explitily asserting the existance of all the elements, Id try and
come up with an easier way, ( this probably wont work, but it might, and may
give you some ideas )
def username;$ie.text_field(:name, 'user_name');end
def password;$ie.text_field(:name, 'password');end
def remember_me;$ie.checkbox(:name, 'remember_me');end
def existance_check( *elems )
&elems.each do |el|
raise "Didnt exist" unless eval(el.to_s.exists?)
end
end
def test_it
assert_nothing_raised( existance_check :username , :password)
end

Re: [Wtr-general] little framework
here was one of the ideas I tried.
In essence, what it does is create a method called the_search_box that
returns the ie.text_field object.
Im sure there are some better ways of doing it.
Paul
require 'watir'
class WatirNaming
def self.parse_ops( obj_name , opts )
if opts.has_key? :id
how = :id
elsif opts.has_key? :name
how = :name
elsif opts.has_key? :index
how = :index
else
raise "No Idea how to find that object"
end
what = opts[ how ]
mname = eval(":#{obj_name}")
return how , what , mname
end
def self.text_field( obj_name , opts )
how, what , mname = self.parse_ops( obj_name , opts )
define_method( mname ) { @ie.text_field( how , what ) }
end
end
class D < WatirNaming
text_field "the_search_box" , :name => 'q'
def initialize
@ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title , /google/i )
the_search_box.set('abc')
end
end
d=D.new

Re: [Wtr-general] little framework
yep. My original motivation was to improve the speed of code development and also make it clearer what was going on. I did this and then realised I had almost had an mbt library. With some extra work I got it to work just fine. MBT on web apps have some problems, as the 'state' is not just what pahe you are on, but also what state the ( for exampe ) user is in. EG on a web banking app, the user may be on the 'pay my visa bill' page, but if there is no balance on the visa, the 'Pay Now' link may be disabled.

Re: [Wtr-general] little framework
the idea is that each page in the app that Im testing has a corresponding class
n my test code.
the class would look something like this:
class MyLoginPage < SomeParentClass
text_field :user_name , :id=>'username'
text_field :pass_word, :id =>'password'
button :login_button , :value => 'Login Now'
title "Welcome To MyApp"
url /login.jsp/
def has_loaded
raise "Not loaded" unless user_name.exists?
end
def do( un , pw )
user_name.set( un )
pass_word.set( pw )
login_button.click
NextPage.has_loaded
end
end
the ParentClass would have methods to validate that everything is there, the
title is correct etc. It also has the code to do the translation of the
descrptive name ( eg login_button) to the actual element ( button(:value ,
'Login Now!')
I also have some code that generates this class from the page, so in irb you
would do something like this
ie.goto( 'http://server/login.jsp')
ie.gen => saves the class to a file using the title
which then saves the class above.
Bob Cotton from Rally has doe some similar type things, as has Elizabeth
Hendrickson. Another guy I have worked with also came up with something
similar, which makes me think this is sort of okay.
Ive also been using something like this for model based testing, which really
is kind of neat.

Re: [Wtr-general] little framework
Ive been working on some things that ( at least to my mind) simplify how the
code represents an html page. It also has several other advantages. I'll
probably publish it in a seperate library ( or via the contrib dir )
as for your code, the firsat think i would do is get rid of the global ie. even
replacing it with a method is better
$ie = Watir::IE.new
def my_browser
$ie
end
my_browser.goto('http://someurl')
at least this way its a bit easier to switch to firefox, or do something
different with the browser.

[Wtr-general] little framework
Hi,
Could anyone give me some feedback on this?
Each HTML objects exists in a module
module Field
MAP_FIELD = Hash.new {|h,k| k}.update(
'username' => 'login', # gui name => HTML name
'password' => 'password'
)
def Field.set(name,args)
$ie.text_field(:name, MAP_FIELD[name]).set(args)
end
def Field.assert(name,args)
puts $ie.text_field(:name, MAP_FIELD[name]).verify_contains(args)
end
end
At the top of each module is a hash map that acts as an object map for
each object.The gui name is mapped to the object name
MAP_BUTTON = Hash.new {|h| k}.update(
'login' => 'Login'
)
IE methods go here
module Explorer
def Explorer.start(url)
$ie = IE.new
@url=url
$ie.goto(@url)
end
def Explorer.close
$ie.close
end
end
Each test will be in a class
class TestClass
def test_1
Explorer.start 'http://aidy_server.com/'
Field.set 'username', 'aidy'
Field.assert 'username', 'aidy'
Field.set 'password', 'password123'
A_Button.press 'login'
Explorer.close
end
end
TestClass.new.test_1
Not so sure about logging, but will probably write to XML
Any opinions?
