[wtr-general] Ruby Watir to get specific html element of a page
Hai Guys. I am just trying to explore or learn Watir. I have already try this one: puts browser.text and it works. I would like to ask if it is possible to display or print only the specific element or html tags. For example this one: button class=btn btn-add data-role=addAdd New User/button Is there any way to get this element only?

[wtr-general] Re: Does watir checks inputs datatype?
On Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 9:21:45 PM UTC-8, Ping-0t wrote: Hello Again guys, I am just wondering if watir checks inputs datatype? I keep on searching here since this morning but until now I cannot find the answer. Someone knows? Because I need to know for my task.. Thanks again :) Helfe in HTML forms there are no dataypes, everything is a string. even spinner controls that let you select numbers, date pickers, etc it's ALL a string when you look at the actual HTTP POST traffic. Webpages can implement client side javascript to ensure that the values a user provides fit some particular pattern, anything from being an integer, to a potentially valid e-mail address. and prevent a non-malicious user from submitting data outside given ranges/patterns when using your site as intended. You can easily create tests to validate such things by trying to input 'invalid' values and verifying that the form will not allow you to submit, and provides appropriate messages to tell the user what they did wrong. But do understand ultimately two things. 1) watir has no idea if such client side code exists, and no way to automagically know if an input field has JS code that tries to enforce such a restriction on input to that field. For that matter you would not want watir to prevent you from using an invalid value because that would prevent you from trying to test the form by inputting such values. You need to be able to do any silly thing (or purposely bad thing) that a user might try to do in order to see that the site responds correctly. Also, even if watir could look at the JS and sus out the acceptable range of values for a field, that would not tell you if the code was correctly implementing the story for that form. If we were just to look at the code and test according to what we see, we could potentially tell if the code 'worked right' but would have no idea if it was actually 'doing the right work'. So were such a capability to exist, it would mostly provide a false sense of security instead of having real value. 2) from a more pragmatic 'security geek' standpoint, while such client side JS code is 'nice' from the perspective of a good user experience, it does pretty much ZERO in terms of protecting your webserver and the systems below it from invalid input. That is because it is trivially easy in most cases to 'spoof' such input, particularly where form data may be submitted to something like a REST API. It takes minimal skill to do an 'end-around' on the client side JS code and submit all sorts of malicious crap to your webservers. So please insure that your programmers are also validating inputs at the back end, before trying to make use of any data that comes from the web client. Or better yet, learn how to do such spoofing yourself and include that in your testing. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Re: Validating a drop down value which is disabled
On Monday, February 2, 2015 at 2:35:24 PM UTC-8, praneetha pagidimarri wrote: Hi, I've to validate the value of a disabled dropdown on a page. I used an instance variable to read all the values and used as .text to validate against the page values. Fields which are in enable mode and are text are showing accurate results, but fields which are in disabled mode with values in dropdown boxes are not validated. Can any one suggest on this issue please. can you provide sample HTML? Forms that have fields that can be enabled and disabled according to other values often have a lot of JS code that processes things as fields are changed and also when the form is submitted. So potentially a field could be set to a given value by the user, then later disabled when another value is changed. and inspecting the value in that field at that time tells you very little For example say that a form had a checkbox for 'use custom timeout' and a timeout value field that was enabled when the checkbox was checked. The user might be able to enable the checkbox, enter a value, then disable the checkbox, leaving the value they entered just sitting there grayed out. In that case when the form is submitted, the JS code could decide to omit that field entirely, or send a default value. Or it might just send everything, and depend on code on the back end to know it should ignore the custom timeout value when custom timeout is not enabled. Without knowing exactly what the thing is SUPPOSED to do, where the logic is, trying to verify the 'current' value of the field before submitting the form won't tell you if things are working right or not.. Instead you might likely need to monitor the HTTP traffic to see what really got sent, or inspect what data was saved at the back end after the form was submitted. you could do that by inspecting some 'settings' page in the app that displayed the values, or maybe by hitting the DB directly to validate the right things were persisted. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
