[wtr-general] Re: Writing and running WATIR scripts

I do not remember a scite editor being installed when I installed Ruby 1.9.2 either, but did get it with 1.8.6 and 1.8.7. It was a convenient starter IDE for me, but it's not necessary. I would advise learning ruby/watir in IRB - it's so interactive and easy to try over and over until you get it

[wtr-general] Re: Automating websiet implemented using AJAX

I would advise the team that you are working on about the testability of your product. Which is more inconvenient, adding the capability to automate, or running manual tests FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! If you can get the developers to write at least the occasional test, they will want to help you

[wtr-general] Re: Watir tests - result reporting

Alastair, I did not try this, but I think it should look like this for the most part. Don't forget to use the 'spec' command (not the 'ruby' command) - I lost a day trying to figure out that mistake. Here are some practices that I try to do with tests: 1. instead of making assumptions about data

[wtr-general] Re: using Watirgrid on unit test cases

Wow, that's pretty open-ended type of question. There are so many ways to do things with these tools. The easy answer to give is it depends on what you want to do. Here is an rdoc example of watirgid: https://github.com/90kts/watirgrid/blob/master/EXAMPLES.rdoc From that, it looks like the grid

Ethan, You have some really good ideas in there. How committed are you to Vapir? Just curious. I think the Watir community is pretty strong. How adoption and community affect sustainability are going to affect people's decisions for which library to use. Just my opinion. Either way, keep the

[wtr-general] Working with gwt Tables

Does anybody have sample code for working with gwt Tables? I can figure out some basic stuff, but the rows in the table are really divs that have a one row table in them. It's difficult to work with the table to identify what all is in there, and which row each thing appears on. Here is the

Thanks. First time I've dealt with them so I didn't know if the dev was taking shortcuts or wasn't possible. Now I have a plan of action. Thanks for taking the time! Dave --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Didn't try it yet. We have a framework that is based on faucets and tailored for our application. I wanted to try over the holidays, but wasn't motivated enough. I'll see if I can try it before the Austin conf later this month. Dave --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You

[wtr-general] Re: Watir Podcast

Can you ask Paul about alternatives to the pesky dialog handling w/ autoit, mainly how to avoid needing to test them or how to avoid having them? Alerts don't seem so hard to replace but the file upload/ download dialogs seem necessary. Thanks Dave
