Try using wait_until function to check the element is loaded or not.

[wtr-general] Re: [ANN] WatiRspec 0.1.0
Actually i didn't know about WatirCraft either. I know that i have heard about it, but i thought that it is doing something else... It is indeed somehow similar to my gem and i have also (maybe) a plan to add Cucumber support... i mean, there's not much to add as a support except just an additional dependency and require statement :P Anyway, ideas seem to be somehow similar indeed. But about the name. Since i didn't know anything (i swear!) about the existence of WatirSpec name and didn't find anything on rubygems.org, then that's why i decided to pick a name called WatiRspec (notice that there's also difference in case). Since i didn't steal the name or didn't do anything else bad intentionally, then i feel that it would not be fair against me if you or someone else would force me to change the name because of these reasons. I'm not sure that name conflict can happen on rubygems... So, if Jari or someone else decides to release a gem with already existing name, then i guess that they should be the ones to change their gem's name. I don't see any other solutions here at the moment unfortunately. No hard feelings, i hope.

I don't think anybody wants to force (or can force) you to use a different name, but it is being pointed out that there exists a piece of work which is already using that name (even if slightly different case). I don't think anybody is implying that you intentionally took an already-in-use name, but the basic fact is that it is in use. Using that name may create confusion amongst people talking about either piece of work, and may conflict if the same name is used in various contexts, including a gem name. It seems to me the polite thing would be to choose a different name and cede the name to the existing, older piece of work. Asking that the existing watirspec change its name in the future to avoid conflict with yours does not seem reasonable. But, ultimately it is your own decision to make I think.

I understand what you're getting at. Of course i don't want to be impolite nor rude. I'm wondering, what does Jari himself think about this topic? Is he planning to release it as a gem at all? If he does and wants to do it with the same name, then i've given it some thought and have an idea what to rename my gem, but i still have some organizational questions. How can i rename my gem on rubygems? Is it even possible? Or should i just 'yank' all the versions of my gem? Does it free up the name again? And i will just have to release my gem again, but with new name? What guarantees that Jari can use this name at all in the future? Will he push some dummy gem as a placeholder for that? So, as you can see, i have a lot of questions, lol.

Watir generally should wait until the page is loaded until it tries to do anything, or it will probably end up interacting with a partially-loaded page where the elements that you try to use don't exist yet. But, if the application never says the page is loaded, there's no way to know when that is. You could override the #wait method to just sleep for some constant amount of time, perhaps.

[wtr-general] ajax and unable to locate element
I am loading a form with an embedded table using Ajax. I am having
trouble locating elements that are part of the form. I tried re-
reading the dom and waiting using the following:
@b=Watir::Browser.attach(:title,'sample')
@b.wait()
but I am still not able to locate any of the elements. For example:
@b.text_field(:name, 'order_ref[1]').set('OE123')
and I get the error:
Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: Unable to locate element,
using :name, order_ref[1]
I can inspect that element with Firebug and the name is fine. I tried
also using id, but I get the same error. Any help with this is much
appreciated.

[wtr-general] Re: Error in IRB: LoadError: no such file to load -- watir
Solution: In Ruby 1.8.4 or later, you need to preceed the require 'watir' command with require 'rubygems'. How frustrating that this is not pointed out in the Watir documentation or examples. I found the solution in another discussion forum. In general I'm very disappointed with the sorry state of Watir installation documentation, all of which seems ad hoc, poorly integrated and universalized, and taking for granted big steps (e.g. using IRB, creating scripts in .rb files, executing .rb files, etc). Curiously, nearly all Watir documentation jumps right from installing the gems to using the Watir API, ignoring such critical steps as opening a Command Prompt with Ruby, opening IRB, requiring rubygems, editing and executing a .rb file, etc. Of course the Watir documentation shouldn't have to explain Ruby, IRB, or any other integrated technology in detail, but it should give the necessary steps in order to successfully complete a basic Watir command for someone like me who wasn't familiar with Ruby or IRB and certainly has no clue about which gems need to be required.

After successfully installing the latest Ruby, RubyGems, and Watir 1.6.5, every Watir script I run chokes on the require command with the error no such file to load. This occurs whether I am executing a Ruby script or typing require 'watir' in the IRB command line. Clearly Ruby can't find watir. Since Watir installed successfully, do I need to use require commands from any particular directory? Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks, John -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Error in IRB: LoadError: no such file to load -- watir
why dont you write up your experienes, we can probably put it on the wiki. Most of the docs are done by people who have been using watir for a while, and theyve done a pretty good job as volunteers. Paul On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 9:41 PM, John Williams jwil...@gmail.com wrote: Solution: In Ruby 1.8.4 or later, you need to preceed the require 'watir' command with require 'rubygems'. How frustrating that this is not pointed out in the Watir documentation or examples. I found the solution in another discussion forum. In general I'm very disappointed with the sorry state of Watir installation documentation, all of which seems ad hoc, poorly integrated and universalized, and taking for granted big steps (e.g. using IRB, creating scripts in .rb files, executing .rb files, etc). Curiously, nearly all Watir documentation jumps right from installing the gems to using the Watir API, ignoring such critical steps as opening a Command Prompt with Ruby, opening IRB, requiring rubygems, editing and executing a .rb file, etc. Of course the Watir documentation shouldn't have to explain Ruby, IRB, or any other integrated technology in detail, but it should give the necessary steps in order to successfully complete a basic Watir command for someone like me who wasn't familiar with Ruby or IRB and certainly has no clue about which gems need to be required.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: ajax and unable to locate element
I used the fire_event ( @b.radio(:id, entryMode_manual).fire_event(onclick)) and I am still getting the same error. The event is firing fine since I am actually getting the div populated properly back from the server.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: ajax and unable to locate element
I am sorry, it is not available on the web. I can give you the source of the page but it references a lot of libraries and server code that I am not sure it will be helpful. Thanks for your help.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: ajax and unable to locate element
Thanks. I am using jquery to bind a click event to a button. Through Watir, I am setting the button and that event is firing correctly and populating the div from the server. Do I need to also do a fire_event? Isn't that duplicating the button set event?
