Re: [wtr-general] RubyMine with Watir, Cucumber, and Page objects
Chuck, I know Rubyists are usually scared off by the overhead, but I started using Aptana Studio (Eclipse geared toward Ruby - as a standalone or a plugin) with my new company, and I've been very impressed, especially since Eclipse can integrate with Assembla/Bugzilla/SVN/CVS/GIT/etc, etc, etc. And, it's free, which is always nice.

Re: [wtr-general] Testing theory/approach question from SO
Thanks for the reply Oscar - I agree that it is a good, and simple approach. I suppose I'm just hoping to think of something with a little less overhead -- but if I don't, I will be happy with that approach. By the way, the pastie link that you shared is the page-object approach (taking an inventory of all page elements) - so as it turns out you ARE familiar with it, just not by that name!

[wtr-general] Best practice for using Active Directory user/pass for script?
This started out as an encryption question, but it may end up being a testing best practice question. I have an application that is not customer-facing, so new accounts cannot be created. It uses personal Active Directory information, and we have no (nor are we allowed to obtain) test accounts for Active Directory. I have a personal account that can access the content to be tested, but I do not want my AD password to be easily obtained. I am using Jenkins to launch scripts so I can easily prompt the user for a password and store it in a variable to be used... but I know how easy it would be to then log these passwords to a flat file. I'd like to provide more security for coworkers if I'm setting up a system that accepts user input (instead of using my own as an encrypted master for the script). The test case is pretty standard - log in, assert a few features and functions and that's it. I looked into AES encryption thinking that I would encrypt the password manually and then take the encrypted string and paste it into a decrypt function in the script... but that function would obviously list the decryption keys so it's really only adding a step of obfuscation to the process of retrieving the password. What's the best practice for this scenario? Thanks, Adam -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Re: Best practice for using Active Directory user/pass for script?
Edit/Update: I have handled this in other cases by including a flat file in Subversion with the variable names for user/pass, but no user information. In order for the script to run, the user (me) has to add their credentials to the file and make sure not to check it back into Subversion once changes are made. Is that as good as it gets?

I use Cucumber, and have used RSpec and Test/Unit in the past - but I know what you mean about actually communicating the results. As far as I know none of these frameworks have email built-in.

Hi Anne, The reason you're getting that error is that you're using lis rather than li in your code. This is like saying browser.images, as in browser.images.each do |img|... To reach a singular element, you want to use the singular locator. Also, while you are certainly able to click on an li it looks like the element you're actually trying to access is a link (denoted by the anchor tag and href element: a href=). Unless there are multiple links on the page that have the exact same descriptors as this one, there is no reason to access the link's parent element. You may want to try this instead: browser.link(:href, /mystuff/my-topic).click browser.link(:text, My Topic Title).click Thanks, Adam On Apr 6, 5:35 pm, Keith Hughes khughe...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Anne, Have you tried browser.li(:id= abc/123,:index=1).click ? rgds Keith On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 9:49 PM, Anne annemordk...@gmail.com wrote: I've been doing automation for a while but am new to Ruby/Watir.

Cristina, you can copy/paste the relevant html here directly (with care to remove superfluous elements). If the div has an attribute that you can access (class, name, id), the nested list elements may not enter into it: browser.div(:how, what).text will grab all of the text in this div. Example: browser.div(:class, my-div-element).text. If you need a more specific locator, you will probably need to use XPath (http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/XPath) to locate the item.

[wtr-general] Re: Automating the object with in TD tag
I think what you're looking for is a way to use Watir to attach to or
investigate that TD element. You can find an exact example of that in
the Watir Wiki using XPath:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/XPath
puts ie.cell(:xpath, //i...@src='3.jpg']/../).text

This code will do two things.

2) Dump the html for the select_list into a striing you can parse
Example: ans_txt = ie.select_list(:name,'cars').html.to_s
Sample script
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir'
ie = Watir::IE.new

ie.goto(sUrl)
ie.maximize()
ie.bring_to_front()

There seems to be no direct interface to get an attribute_value from

It shows a weakness in the select/options that might need a bug

require 'watir' browsers = [ie, firefox] browsers.each do |b| Watir::Browser.default = b browser = Watir::Browser.new browser.goto url end This would work if you were looking to literally run both tests inside of one script, and could also involve multi-threading to run them simultaneous, however, I think the best approach is to put your browser selection in a the Watir YAML file and use a batch to set the default browser, run the test, edit the default browser and save the YAML file again, and then run the test(s) again. Create the file 'options.yml' with contents: # This file specifies options affecting all tests. # These options can also be set using environment variables prefixed with 'watir_ # These environment variables will override settings from this file. # 'ie' (Watir::IE) or 'firefox' (FireWatir::Firefox) browser: ie #browser: firefox # These options only affect IE. # speed options are fast, slow, and zippy speed: zippy #visible: false visible: true Include the following code in your script(s): Watir.options_file = 'options.yml' Now, whenever you change the default browser designation in your options.yml file, your scripts will use that browser.

[wtr-general] OT: WIN32OLE and Word difficulty
I've worked with the win32ole library in my WATIR scripts for a long time, and I've just now stumbled onto a problem that I'm hoping some of you have also encountered. I have a script that reads from various Word file formats (doc, docx), however the documents that are being provided to me from our users have the text written in a Text Box rather than at the top level of the document. When I try to read document.Sentences or .Words, I get none of this text (just a special character representing the background image). I worked through the API and ole_methods and haven't found anything that seemed to work right yet. Have any of you had to access this type of object before? I've posted on StackOverflow but I know that a lot of you work with win32ole often, so I thought I'd bring some attention to it here. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4419446/how-to-access-textbox-object-text-in-document-using-ruby-win32ole Thanks, Adam -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Hi Goutham, It sounds like you're double-clicking the script in order to run it which closes the DOS window upon completion. If installed, you can execute the script using the SciTE editor.

[wtr-general] Re: Launching Report At End of Test
Joe,
Since the report is a basic .html file, you can open/view/launch it
just like any other web content. You could launch a browser and
supply the browser.goto command with the file name you defined earlier
(from the tutorial):
@report = @html.createReport('google_search', 'Google Search',
browser_type)
As I understand it, this should create a file named
google_search.html. So that you don't have to repeat this code for
each script you create, you'd want your report name set as a variable
that you can access later. Obviously there's a lot of exception
handling and validation you would want to add, but here's an idea of
how you could handle it:
- test.rb
report_name = google_search #
path_to_report = C:/Logs/#{report_name}.html
@report = @html.createReport(report_name, 'Google Search',
browser_type) #FROM TUTORIAL
!-- code code code --
!-- code code code --
@html.finishReport(@report, browser_type, test_environment) #FROM
TUTORIAL
view_report(path_to_report)
- includes.rb
def view_report(report)
@report_browser = Watir::Browser.new
@browser.goto report
end #view_report

I agree with Jason, and I would also recommend Everyday Scripting with Ruby/Marick - great book for scripters that know more about WATIR than they do about Ruby. http://pragprog.com/titles/bmsft/everyday-scripting-with-ruby On Jun 3, 8:30 am, Jason Trebilcock jason.trebilc...@gmail.com wrote: Watir is really a tool for interacting with web applications. For what you want to do, you may want to rephrase the question as being Ruby-specific and not related to Watir. Further, you may want to invest a little time researching your problem.

[wtr-general] Re: How to create a file and save it.
With respect, file manipulation is a basic feature of Ruby. WATIR is a testing library/tool that makes use of the basic built-in Ruby functionality. That is the distinction that is being made. In your case, you would need to design a way to locate the Order Id, temporarily assign that value to a variable, open or create a text file, and finally write this value to the file. Which step in that process are you having difficulty coding? Thanks, Adam On Jun 3, 9:17 am, meaculpa harismah...@gmail.com wrote: Its WATIR specific only. And This is not a blanket request for help.

I can't say if the approach you're using is viable or not because I'm

If I knew what test framework you were using, I could probably offer
an easier way to fail a test and send an email. For test/unit:
begin
assert_match(/testing/, @browser.text)
(actions for PASS go here)
rescue = e
(actions for FAIL/error go here)
end #begin

SystemName, any idea?
I wrote a script to send email if the test is failing.
For now I am setting variable to 0 when initializing the test, and 1

Not to further hammer the point here, but I've found that this message board has provided MANY helpful how-to's and JIRA bugs for WATIR. When an issue is discovered that has not been discussed previously, someone always asks the original poster to update the Wiki or log a JIRA bug. So, now that you've isolated this issue, adding it to the Wiki will save everyone else who stumbles across it the troubleshooting time, and the merry cycle continues. I absolutely understand the frustration with some open source products, but I've always felt Watir's documentation (and more so its community) to be very helpful, which is also why I feel even more encouraged to respond to posts here more than other groups when I do have something useful to add. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

I'm using the following command:

Basically this just sets the salutation field on a request form to the

[wtr-general] Confused about array declaration failure (rspec, watir)
This script works, but only if I explicitly define the array that I'm
iterating over (][countryname, url]].each do, rather than
@countries.each do). In a nutshell, the script goes to a static page,
collects the links, visits each linked page and verifies an item - it
has been significantly dumbed down for the purpose of this question
and I have tested this simplified version to make sure it gives the
same output.
Can someone help me understand why my array here (@countries) is not
recognized? I tried to instantiate it as a global variable
($countries) and it still was not recognized. Is it an issue with my
organization/format, or something else?
Again, if I explicitly describe an array in place of the
variable, the script works .
global_page_spec.rb
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 ==
__FILE__
require 'helpers/example_helper'
describe The country page for do
include ExHelper
before(:all) do
setup
collect_global_countries
end
@countries.each do |name, link|
describe name do
it should contain the word #{name} in the title do
@browser.goto link
@browser.div(:id, /content-content/).text.should include(name)
end #it
end #desc
end #countries
after(:all) do
teardown
end #after
end #spec
example_helper.rb
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..') if $0 ==
__FILE__
require 'helpers/global_helper'
module ExHelper
include GlobalHelper
def setup
@browser = Watir::Browser.new
@browser.add_checker lambda {|b| b.text.should_not include('The
requested page could not be found.')}
end # setup
def collect_global_countries
@countries = Array.new
@countries.should be_empty
@browser.goto http://www.#{$env}.com/global;

[wtr-general] Re: Switching from Test::Unit to RSpec - tips/gotchas? Short code review.
I'm at it again! Having some trouble completing an RSpec script with
a pretty simple concept -- mostly having trouble with the hierarchy of
it all.
Basically, I have a single page with many links. Each link points the
same type of template with a different title. The script stores these
links to an array, visits each page and verifies that it contains the
correct title. That's the easy part.
However with RSpec, I'd like each different link to be it's own
headline/describe function for the HTML report -- each page should
have it's own NAME page should contain the word name in the title,
etc. Here is what I have so far, that obviously does not work:
describe Page with links do
before(:all) do
setup
@browser.goto page
end #before.all
it should contain a table with links do
@browser.table(:class, /example/).links.each do |link|
@countries [link.text, link.href]
end #links
@countries.should_not be_empty
end #it
@countries.each do |name, link|
it should contain the word #{name} in the title do
@browser.goto link
@browser.div(:id, /example/).text.should include(name)
end #it
end #...@countries
after(:all) do
teardown
end #after
end #describe
That made me think that I'd need something more like what is below,
but I need to instantiate the browser and created the @countries
array, and this script did not like having two describe blocks... I'm
getting pretty confused!
(this seems correct, I just don't know where to put it in the script!)
@countries.each do |name, link|
describe name do
it should contain the word #{name} do
@browser.goto link
@browser.div(:id, /whatever/).text.should
include(name)
end #it
end
end #each
With Test::Unit, I would simply use the following, but again, I'm not
trying to conform to RSpec-type output here:
def test_01_example
page_links Array.new
@browser.goto page
@browser.links.each do |link|
page_links [link.text, link.href]
end #page.links.each
page_links.each do |title, url|
@browser.goto url
assert(@browser.contains_text(title))
end #page_links.each
end #def
Can someone please sort me out?

[wtr-general] Re: Switching from Test::Unit to RSpec - tips/gotchas? Short code review.
Thanks Jarmo! There are a lot of similarities between this format and what I was previously doing with Watir, as well as some good new information. I think learning the new material for RSpec put a stimga of sorts on the organization and these replies definitely cleared a few things up for me. Adam On Feb 25, 10:58 am, Jarmo Pertman jarm...@gmail.com wrote: I'm answering into the group directly - maybe someone else finds this also useful. Think of the helpers as a collection of methods which will be used throughout the tests. You could do many modules. Some modules would be specific to your current application under test and some others would be even more global. So if you start testing some new web application then there are already some modules which you can include and then use those methods from there. In addition you can create a separate module for this project which has it specific methods. So, your idea below is almost correct, but think about it as a hierarchy. Let's say that you have 2 software projects going on - ProjectOne and ProjectTwo. So, i would do something like this: global_helper.rb - this is at some globally accessible place on the filesystem: # put here also all global requires require 'watir' require 'spec' # you may require also this, since some IDE-s allow you to run specs then with their formatter module GlobalHelper def global_method_one # do something end def global_method_two # do something else end end project_one_helper.rb - this is located under ProjectOne: # make sure that you've handled the $LOAD_PATH so you can do like this: require 'global_helper' module ProjectOneHelper include GlobalHelper def project_one_method # do something specific to project_one end end project_two_helper.rb - this is located under ProjectTwo: # make sure that you've handled the $LOAD_PATH so you can do like this: require 'global_helper' module ProjectTwoHelper include GlobalHelper def project_two_method # do something specific to project_two end end project_one_spec.rb - so, now in some ProjectOne test you just have to do like this: require 'project_one_helper' describe something in ProjectOne do include ProjectOneHelper # you don't have to include GlobalHelper anymore since it is already included it does something do global_one_method project_one_method end end And something similar goes to ProjectTwo specs. So, that's how you can keep your code modularized and hopefully follow the practices of DRY (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself). But when coming back to your concrete example, then i'd suggest you to read about RSpec Matchers (http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec/1.3.0/ classes/Spec/Matchers.html). So, let's say that you are dealing with ProjectTwo, then i would do it something like this - project_two_helper.rb: require 'global_helper' module ProjectTwoHelper include GlobalHelper def setup @browser = Watir::Browser.new @browser.goto http://url.com; end def header @browser.div(:id = 'header') end def has_correct_header? header.text.should == 'this is the header' end end and in project_two_spec.rb: require 'project_two_helper' describe ProjectTwo do before :all do setup end it has header do should have_correct_header end end There are some other nifty tricks in RSpec, but i can just recommend you to read RSpec book (http://www.pragprog.com/titles/achbd/the-rspec- book - i haven't read it myself though) or just wander around in it's RDochttp://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec/1.3.0/ Jarmo On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 5:28 PM, Adam Reed reed...com wrote: Jarmo, Thank you very much for your insightful reply. You definitely addressed my weak point with Rspec right now which is the test organization and structure (modules vs. other constructs). I will certainly subscribe to your RSS feed! I was wondering if I might be able to ask you one more questions here. I've read about RSpec and have Google searched for a few of these topics, but was not able to find much help. Learning Watir was definitely a trial-and-error exercise a few years ago, so I'd like to get a better start with RSpec without having to go back and redesign everything because of early mistakes! In the specific test that I'm writing, for instance, I want to verify some global elements -- that the page does not show an error (as you described in your reply to my thread), that the footer exists and is correct, that the header exists and is correct, etc. All pages and all tests need to include these. At this point, I'm not sure how to handle those global tests -- my first inclination was shared_methods/helpers, but it appears that I would be better served by a module contained in a separate script that can be required and included in each other script.

[wtr-general] Switching from Test::Unit to RSpec - tips/gotchas? Short code review.
We have a new project starting up that I think presents a good
opportunity to try out Rspec. I've gone through a lot of the
documentation over the years and have begun to create the first couple
of tests without test/unit.
I know that Bret and others have used Rspec extensively, and I was
wondering if there are any tips or pitfalls that would be helpful to
know when starting out.
Here is a short example of a location search that I'm working with for
critique:
require 'watir'
require 'spec'
describe Locator search results do
before(:each) do
@browser ||= Watir::Browser.new
@browser.goto(http://www.##.com;)
end #before
shared_examples_for all pages do
it should behave like all pages do
@browser.text.should_not include('Page could not be displayed')
end
describe for Ontario search do
it_should_behave_like all pages
it should return Los Angeles, CA catalog do
@browser.div(:id, /example/).text.should include('Los Angeles')
end #desc ontario
describe for San Marcos, TX search do
it_should_behave_like all pages
it should return Austin, TX catalog do
@browser.div(:id, /example/).text.should include('Austin')
end #desc San Marcos
describe for Dallas, TX search do
it_should_behave_like all pages
it should return Dallas, TX catalog
end #desc San Marcos
after(:each) do
@browser.close unless @browser.nil
end #after
end #Locator search results

Thanks Željko! 1. I used the require 'spec' so that I could execute the script in SciTE to check for simple errors before running spec from the command line. To your point, I will make sure not to include it on future scripts. 2. Agree with you on the before(:all)/(:each) - I'm still figuring out how that works practically in my tests. What is this? @browser ||= Watir::Browser.new 3. I actually took that from the RSpec example here: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/RSpec I hate to admit that I implemented it without knowing exactly what it did, but in testing it did not seem to change behavior.
