Fantastic work Jarmo!

This will be big time when we have one command that works across all
platforms.

I tried it on OSX and the gem installs correctly, but when I try to launch
a new browser without specifying a browser it complains (when it should
default to firefox according to your README). Using :firefox works fine. (I
am using watir-webdriver 0.6.1).


Als-MacBook-Air:minesweeper-robot alisterscott$ irb

 Hello everyone!

 I'm happy to announce that Watir 4.0.rc1 has been released.

 Please install it with:
 gem install watir --pre

 Refer to the usage at the readme:
 https://github.com/watir/watir/blob/master/README.md

 All questions, comments or suggestions are welcome.

 PS! This gem detects automatically which driver to use (webdriver or
 classic), but still has a limitation of using one driver per Ruby process.
 I'm not even sure if using webdriver and classic in the same Ruby process
 will be possible in the future due to namespace collisions.

 With Best Regards,
 Jarmo Pertman

It's a WebDriver bug

apparently complicated to fix, and therefore isn't fixed yet.
Are you using xvfb? If so, can up the res to something like 1024x4096 to

One compliance to Watirspec is established, I don't see any reason why not.
The IE WebDriver driver is nowhere near as powerful/reliable as the native
watir driver so I think it would be a big win for those running tests under
IE.

Re: [wtr-general] waiting using implicit_wait with watir-webdriver

2011-10-05 Thread Alister Scott
after you create a browser, simply set the wait:

require 'watir-webdriver'
b = Watir::Browser.new
b.driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait=3 

It will wait *up to* 3 seconds before complaining it can't find the element. 
If it finds it immediately, there is no wait.

 I don't think there's any way around it - for IE9 we just have to check
 what mode the page is using and fire events accordingly. We can at least
 code it so we only do it once/page and store it in the browser instance.
 This doesn't affect any of the other changes we made for IE9 because I was
 able to make the method calls work in both IE8 and IE9 - this is the only
 place we had to special case.

 On the bright side, IE9 is faster than IE8 so I don't think anyone will
 notice :)

[wtr-general] Re: watir 2.0.1 table rows method broken

2011-08-24 Thread Alister Scott
Yeah, it looks bust.
You can use:

browser.table(:id, 'administrators').each do |row| 
  puts 
  puts row.inspect 
  puts row.text 
end 

which works, but isn't watir-webdriver compatible.

Cheers,
Alister

You can't set a label, you need to use the input (known in watir as 
text_field)

@ie.text_field(:id = 'adjustment_invoices_

Awesome! Thanks.

I switched to this and ran a test suite and it took 6 seconds longer than 
usual (usually 59 seconds), but I am more than willing to accept this to 
have a much more reliable test suite.

I vote for having this changed, I am sure Zeljko would vote for it too 
considering how much trouble he's having.

If you're not in favor of switching to this, could we at least make it user 
configurable to have this behaviour?

Thanks,

I have found testing an app that has a crazy amount of JavaScript that 
changes the DOM, that these exceptions are raised quite frequently.

I personally prefer the Watir 1.X behaviour, as it personally means tests 
are more reliable for me.

But, I understand the performance hit. Are we talking much slower execution 
times?

I have written about this on my blog, with some ideas I have on how to write 
scripts to avoid it:

[wtr-general] Update on Watir Day 2011 - Sunday 3rd April - San Francisco

2011-02-25 Thread Alister Scott
Hi Everyone,

I thought I would send out an update on Watir Day 2011, in case you hadn't
seen what's happening on the website and twitter.
http://watir.com/watir-day/

Planning for Watir Day is full steam ahead.

*Proposing a Talk*

You can propose a talk which closes over the coming days. See:
http://watir.com/watir-day/propose-a-talk/

*Tickets
*
Tickets are $50 each and on sale now. You can get a free ticket if you're
coming from overseas, and / or presenting at the Watir Day. Also, you don't
need to be attending Selenium Conference to buy a ticket. Oh, and you get a
special Watir Day T-Shirt.
Link to tickets page: http://watirday.eventbrite.com/

*Sponsorship
*
The thing I am most excited about is our sponsorship packages. For only
$175, your employer or company can sponsor the day and get four included
tickets free, valued at $200. This should make it easy to convince your
employer to sponsor the day and send some people!
http://watir.com/watir-day/sponsorship/
*
Coming Up Next*

Over the coming days/weeks, we plan to finalize the program including the
speakers, and open space format: so stay tuned.


If you have any further questions, please feel to contact me, and please
spread the word!

[wtr-general] fire_event 'onchange' intermittently timing out?

2010-11-07 Thread Alister Scott
Hi,

I am testing an AJAX heavy web app which uses 'onchange' events on text
fields. Approx one tenth of the time, when I fire an onchange event using
fire_event, it causes Watir to timeout for 5 minutes.

For example:

When I set Letter to Blah #
features/step_definitions/input_text_steps.rb:7

   execution expired (Timeout::Error)

C:/Sandbox/Tools/ruby-1.8.7-p302-i386-mingw32/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:64:in
`wait'
   ./features/support/../../lib/blah/form.rb:38:in `[]='
   ./features/step_definitions/input_text_steps.rb:8:in `/^I set ([^]*)
to ([^]*)$/'
   features\sociability\blah\blah.feature:45:in `When I set Letter to
blah'

I traced this down the the element.rb file, and have monkey patched this
class to remove the @container.wait, but I was wondering if there is a
better way? As it only happens about 10% of the time, it makes it hard to
debug, but removing the wait from fire_event seems to have resolved the
issue. I thought about catching the Timeout::Error, but I don't want my
script to freeze for 5 minutes at a time.

Any help would be appreciated.

def fire_event(event)
  assert_exists
  assert_enabled

 highlight(:set)
 ole_object.fireEvent(event)
  #...@container.wait
  highlight(:clear)
   end

Cheers,

Alister

- update http://watir.com/support/ page to say stackoverflow.com is the
place for Watir support
- send warning message at watir-general that it will be read only for a week
- in that week post to watir-general only links to Watir questions at

- see what happens and decide what to do next

Is it too radical? :)

[wtr-general] A printable Watir Tutorial

2010-02-05 Thread Alister Scott
I've been thinking for sometime to create a single (long) page Watir
Tutorial by merging multiple tutorial pages into one.The aim would be
to make it easier for a new Watir user to follow, and the added
benefit is it could be printed.

The process of creating this is a little daunting. As a starting
point, or experiment, I thought I could create a printable tutorial on
the wiki, which is essentially syndicated content from each individual
tutorial page, displayed in a single, printable, page.

I've done this now, http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Printable+Tutorial,
and by doing it is has made me realize how long, and detailed, the
Watir tutorial actually is. It makes the process of creating a single
page Watir tutorial even more daunting.

I am interesting in your thoughts. Is a single page tutorial something
that others would consider helpful for new users? Is the current,
multi-page, tutorial sufficient? Does anyone have any different ideas
for creating an easy to follow, and print, tutorial? Is it just me who
wants the tutorial to be printable?

 There is no need for staging phase. Go ahead and make it wiki home page.

 I would remove contributors and recently edited pages from the home page,

[wtr-general] Re: Ads on watir.com

2010-01-31 Thread Alister Scott
I responded on Watir-Development, but I will mirror it here for
consistency sake:

I am personally against advertisements on watir.com, because I think
it
defeats the whole purpose of creating a kick-ass open source tool, if
your
main site for it has advertisements for commercial/proprietary
automated
testing tools (wasn't watir created to avoid using vendorscripts?)

Why is this thought even being raised? Are we short of money or
something?
What are the big costs we need money for? The current web site is
hosted (by
wordpress) for free...

Even if we wanted to run ads on watir.com, we can't because we're
using

then
pay hosting costs. It's a bit of a wasted effort in my honest opinion.

I look forward to hearing others thoughts on this matter.

[wtr-general] Re: Error in installation of gem

If you don't wish to completely reinstall ruby, a much easier thing to
do is manually install rubygems 1.3.5 from a zip file:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
This will fix the problem.

[wtr-general] What to do when getting an error updaing ruby gems, or updating watir gem on Ruby 1.8.6.26

2009-12-18 Thread Alister Scott
Hi,

I have noticed problems when updating rubygems (gem update --system),
or updating your watir gem, when using Ruby 1.8.6.26.

I have added this to the FAQ on the wiki:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#FAQ-Ican%27tinstalltheWatirgem%2CorupdaterubygemsonRuby1.8.6.26%2CwhatdoIdo%3F

EG:

I can't install the Watir gem, or update rubygems on Ruby 1.8.6.26,
what do I do?

If you are getting an error like:

Updating RubyGems...
Attempting remote update of rubygems-update
Install required dependency builder? [Yn] Y
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find builder (= 0) in any repository

What you need to do is manually install the latest version of
rubygems. Download the zip file from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126,
extract it and run setup.rb.
Once you have done this the commands gem install watir and gem
update watir will work correctly.

Cheers,
Alister

As long as they are getting value from it and they know how to spell

There are many words in English that people pronounce differently:

[wtr-general] Re: Summary wiki page

2009-10-05 Thread Alister Scott


 The collection looks useful, but something is confusing about the
 parentage of the collection. Look at the breadcrumbs on these pages.

   Dashboard    Watir   ...Project Home  Start Here  Tutorial 
 Summary  Collections of HTML Elements


Agree, not the best location. I think we need to have a 'one page
quick start', a 'one page tutorial', and the rest of the information
contained can be logically organized into categories.
But I believe the one page tutorial is what we used to have, do you
know why it was changed to such a long format?

ObjectSpace.each_object(Class){|c| puts c if is_element_subclass?(c)}

[wtr-general] Re: Towards migrating to Watir.com

2009-06-22 Thread Alister Scott

 What would you like to do? You've made some proposals. You've gotten
 some feedback.

Yes. I would like to move ahead with using wordpress to host
watir.com. I would like to use wordpress.com as it is hosted and
provides easy user administration and spam protection. It seems my
second prototype is more popular (http://watir001.wordpress.com/) but
I need to create a custom header.

 As far as I'm aware, no one else has volunteered to make any of the
 alternative ideas happen (right?), so the ball is in your court.

Z* has been talking to Patrick about using openqa to host watir.com,
hence the delay in me writing this message. I personally think it will
be more complicated than needed to use openqa/confluence so I think we
can put that idea to rest.

 Please let us know what you propose to do, if anything. Do you need
 help? If so, what parts do you need help with?

I don't need any major help with setting up the site, besides domain
name mapping (where Paul is needed) and possibly the logo (need
decision on whether to continue, if so, need high res PNG format, is
possible).

Once the site is established, the content will need some refreshing.
This should be a matter of various people logging in and making some
changes so it sounds better.

Alister
