If you have any programming experience, I think you will be surprised by how much you can do in just a day. I remember that I was able to install Watir and make log in test for our web application in a few hours. At the time Watir had a great tutorial that taught me all I needed to know in no time. Now, the tutorial is even better. :) My suggestions (with estimates): - browse http://watir.com/ (15 minutes) - read http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Quick+Start (60 minutes, installation included) - read http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Tutorial (a few hours) After you are done, you will be able to do almost everything you need. If you are stuck, ask here. If you like to listen to people talk, you can grab a few episodes of Watir Podcast (start with episode 1) where I talk with Watir users and developers about Watir. You can listen to that on your computer by downloading mp3 files (web site even has flash player so you can listed directly from the site), or you can listen to it on your iPod (the podcast is in iTunes) or similar mp3 player. The only problem could be if you have not programming and/or HTML knowledge, because the tutorial assumes that you have. That could slow you down a lot.

Hi Angrez,
Thanks for your reply. Following is the step which I want to perform.
Want to click on the center point of the firefox window and want to do some
copy paste operation. This is required as I can't set text in the frame as
body of compose window in my project had used frame.
In IE following is the piece of code I was using
def getClientCenterPoint(browser)
myRect= * 16# store four LONGs
getClientRect=Win32API.new(user32, GetClientRect, ['I','P'], 'I')
getClientRect = Win32API.new('user32', 'FindWindowEx', ['P'] * 4, 'L')
getClientRect.call(browser.hwnd, myRect)
x,y,xpos,ypos=myRect.unpack()
setCursorPos = Win32API.new(user32, SetCursorPos, ['I','I'], 'I')
setCursorPos.Call(xpos.to_i/2+90,ypos.to_i/2+150)
end
Please let me know if you want any other details.

Right now there is no support for hwnd in Firewatir. Can you use Win32API to
get the handle of the window using the title? If yes, then you can use
firefox title to get the handle.

Hi Friends,
I am using ie.hwnd in watir to get the browser handle. I have observed

[wtr-general] Re: Time to learn Watir
I also started using it since last couple of months. I did have automation knowledge in QTP for 6 months, but then this thing fascinated me more. I am still learning, but I can suggest a start - Install Ruby and learn basics. Practice in irb (brush up your OOP concepts) - Then focus on learning WATIR. It is easy to understand. Even you can use WATIR without knowing Ruby well, but your script quality will depend on your Ruby knowledge. So, After a quick start with Ruby basics and Watir, keep learning Ruby side by side.

If you have any programming experience, I think you will be surprised by how much you can do in just a day. I remember that I was able to install Watir and make log in test for our web application in a few hours. At the time Watir had a great tutorial that taught me all I needed to know in no time. Now, the tutorial is even better. :) My suggestions (with estimates): - browse http://watir.com/ (15 minutes) - read http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Quick+Start (60 minutes, installation included) - read http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Tutorial (a few hours) After you are done, you will be able to do almost everything you need. If you are stuck, ask here. If you like to listen to people talk, you can grab a few episodes of Watir Podcast (start with episode 1) where I talk with Watir users and developers about Watir. You can listen to that on your computer by downloading mp3 files (web site even has flash player so you can listed directly from the site), or you can listen to it on your iPod (the podcast is in iTunes) or similar mp3 player. The only problem could be if you have not programming and/or HTML knowledge, because the tutorial assumes that you have. That could slow you down a lot.

[wtr-general] Getting error as - gem_original_require': no such file to load -- Xls (LoadError)
Hi,
I have installed the ruby 1.8.6 and WATIR 1.6.2.
I have created a script which fetches the data from excel sheet perform
the operations.
Then I have kept the following code in a common file inside 'Library'
directory which gets data from excel sheet.
require 'Xls' # Xls.rb is in the same directory(Library)
# This function is used to fetch the data from excelsheet.
def getdata()
xlFile = XLS.new(Dir.pwd + '../Test-Data/Data.xls') #grab the data file
mydata = xlFile.getRowRecords('Test Data','Sheet1') #pull data records
from excel
return mydata
xlFile.close
end
All the functions related to excel operations are kept Xls.rb file which is
in same directory.Then I am calling the function getdata() from another file
from parent directory as below.
require 'test/unit'
require 'Library/common'
require 'watir'
Watir.options_file = 'E:/Data316/RSC-ePlatform/Automation/options.yml'
class Gmail Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_Gmail_Working
# Calling getdata function
@myData = getdata()
end
end
But when I ran the above script I got following error.

However if automation/programming background then it can take a fair bit of time I could not agree more. A lot also has to do with aptitude. Automation is a type of programming, some people have a nack for that, others do not. If you are someone to whom programming makes 'sense' then you will probably pick things up quickly no matter the language or tool. A great book to help you learn some of the basic of programming in RUBY is Everyday Scripting with Ruby by Brian Marick Test automation is in many ways an art, there's a lot of tricks of the trade as it were. some of them you can find here and there in books etc, but much of it is stuff you learn by doing. little things like always starting off a large batch of tests with both a test you expect to pass, but also one that will intentionally FAIL, and making sure that you in fact detect that it DID fail.. (so you know your stuff can actually properly detect and report when something fails, because well if that's broken then it can look like everthing is working, when in fact main tests are failing and it's just not being properly reported) Web based testing also requires that you have at least a basic understanding of both the HTTP protocol (at least understanding how things pass back and forth between the browser and the server), and the HTML language used for web-pages, and how it can call javascript to enable dynamic functionality at the client side (which doesn't hit the webserver in many cases). Because watir interacts with the browser, you need to have at least a basic understanding of what makes up a web page, and what the types of elements on the page are etc. But really it all depends on you, and your background, aptitude, and experience. Some people are going to be able to pick this stuff up really quickly, for others it may take a lot longer, and for still others it's time to find a different line or work. I recently trained a co-worker who understands the basics of web pages, and has tested for years, but had zero experience with programming, or automation. and in a week he was starting to write watir automation on his own. not terribly fast, and with a bunch of questions, but he was producing tests.. (we utilize a combination of Watir, the Watircraft framework, and Cucumber for our stuff) a few months down the road and he's still learning about stuff as needed, but is largely able to work on his own, and a majority of the questions are not 'how do I write the watir code for this but more related to how the actual tested app is supposed to behave, or details of the user actions we are emulating. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

[wtr-general] Re: Time to learn Watir
Hello Swapnal, If you have a curiosity for computers in general and like to learn if you enjoy 'chasing the 'rabbit', you will do well. Prior experience with automation and programming will make the journey shorter - approx. 3 months. No experience - 6 -9 months to be productive. I'm not saying that it's easy, but I can say that it's fun. Try the best you can.then post questions here. Good luck, Darryl On Jul 10, 2:55 pm, Chuck van der Linden sqa...@gmail.com wrote: On Jul 10, 9:06 am, karim rayani karim@gmail.com wrote: if one has knowledge of automation then learning watir should only take around 1 month. However if automation/programming background then it can take a fair bit of time I could not agree more. A lot also has to do with aptitude. Automation is a type of programming, some people have a nack for that, others do not. If you are someone to whom programming makes 'sense' then you will probably pick things up quickly no matter the language or tool. A great book to help you learn some of the basic of programming in RUBY is Everyday Scripting with Ruby by Brian Marick Test automation is in many ways an art, there's a lot of tricks of the trade as it were. some of them you can find here and there in books etc, but much of it is stuff you learn by doing. little things like always starting off a large batch of tests with both a test you expect to pass, but also one that will intentionally FAIL, and making sure that you in fact detect that it DID fail.. (so you know your stuff can actually properly detect and report when something fails, because well if that's broken then it can look like everthing is working, when in fact main tests are failing and it's just not being properly reported) Web based testing also requires that you have at least a basic understanding of both the HTTP protocol (at least understanding how things pass back and forth between the browser and the server), and the HTML language used for web-pages, and how it can call javascript to enable dynamic functionality at the client side (which doesn't hit the webserver in many cases). Because watir interacts with the browser, you need to have at least a basic understanding of what makes up a web page, and what the types of elements on the page are etc. But really it all depends on you, and your background, aptitude, and experience. Some people are going to be able to pick this stuff up really quickly, for others it may take a lot longer, and for still others it's time to find a different line or work. I recently trained a co-worker who understands the basics of web pages, and has tested for years, but had zero experience with programming, or automation. and in a week he was starting to write watir automation on his own. not terribly fast, and with a bunch of questions, but he was producing tests.. (we utilize a combination of Watir, the Watircraft framework, and Cucumber for our stuff) a few months down the road and he's still learning about stuff as needed, but is largely able to work on his own, and a majority of the questions are not 'how do I write the watir code for this but more related to how the actual tested app is supposed to behave, or details of the user actions we are emulating. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

[wtr-general] Re: Issue with Select List
I agree with you,
If this helps, whenever i do a select event on that list using watir, it
kinda like hangs the UI and then the select list doesn't performs it normal
operation, which was whatever is selected on the list should be displayed in
the text box.
The text box is a read only so i cannot do any .set operations on it.
Have tries onfocus, onchange, onblur, onclick all events i could possibly
fire.. and in combinations.
Tried the TAB key event too.
Is there any Sync problem? The site only works with IE so cannot do reverse
engineering with Firebug, is there something similar as firebug for IE??
How do i get to know which events are fired what could i possibly use here??
Thanks regards

I notice there's onfocus..
Potentially the object itself is being changed slightly when the focus
hits it.. so the page code you are looking at, may not be what's
there the instant someone has clicked the box to enter a change.
I'd use the dev toolbar, or firebug and have a REALLY close look at
what happens to things inside the dom the moment someone clicks or
otherwise (via via pressing the tab key) sets the focus onto that
item. There may be something that has to happen then that primes the
pump, and without that happening nothing works.. .
Sites that are that highly event driven can be a real challenge.. you
sometimes have to reverse engineer stuff by watching what happens as
the site responds to each user action such as mouseclicks and key
presses.
Also look at what happens if you do things like stick a string into
the clipboard, right-click that area and paste in the value, (which is
closer to using the .set method than typing char by char, especially
on a page with an element setup to react to every single stinking
keypress...

Hi,
Did you try issuing onblur or onchange
ie.select_list(:name,ABC).select(value)
ie.select_list(:name,ABC).fire_event(onblur) # if this
does'nt work then try
ie.select_list(:name,ABC).fire_event(onchange)

Hi
I have a scenario in which, if i chose a value in a select list, the
same value is filled in a text box given by calling an onchange
event.
code looks like:select name=ABC onChange=onChangeTerm
('ABC','XYZ') onfocus=enterField(this) size=1 stype=Selection
input decimals=0 elength=3 name=XYZ onblur=validateField
(this) onfocus=enterField(this) onkeypress=NumberKeyCheck()
stype=Number type=text value=0 /
The problem with this is when i do it manually, whatever value i
chose
in select list, it gets filled in the text box but when i do using
the
function:
ie.select_list(:name,ABC).select(value)
it selects a value but doesn' fills the text box.
I tried the fire events also but no help.
Can anyone in the group please help me with this issue.
I am using - [watir -1.6.2]
i have a chat with developers and he told to fire onfocus then
onchange event, after selecting the value.
i tried that and other combination too but no success so far.
is there anything else i am missing on in here.
i have tried it with QTP and open source Selenium its working there,
but its not working with Watir, is this a know issue with watir ?
Thanks

[wtr-general] How Watir Works
Hi All Is there any document or website which explains how watir works? How watir finds an element using the physical attributes? how watir waits for browser to reach a sync state? is that information available freely somewhere?
