Re: [wtr-general] Re: making old watir scripts compatiable with new watir webdriver
Vapir is another alternative - vapir is a fork of watir (and firewatir). It uses the same API as watir, and brings more of the API from watir to be compatible with firefox where firewatir was not. However, it was forked quite a while ago now, and newer features of watir may not have all been merged in yet. the only big one I can think of offhand is zero-based indexing, which hasn't made it to a release yet (though it has been implemented). Vapir-Firefox can connect to Firefox using either MozRepl or JSSH, and MozRepl is actively maintained and works from firefox versions 3.0 - 7 (support for 8 and up is landing shortly). more info at http://vapir.org/ -Ethan On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 10:21, sumanth anansumanthku...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Chuck and Jari, Thanks a lot for the information.

On Nov 10, 10:27 pm, Chuck van der Linden sqa...@gmail.com wrote: The FF situation is annoying, but it's been made pretty clear that JSSH support for FireFox versions 4.x and above will not be happening, and since firewatir was built on that, it means that code is pretty much at a dead end. As testers their current path is a bit of a pain because it has fractured the FF userbase, and now similar to IE, there are a large number of users still using older versions, which increases the size of our test matrixes. Generally I might recommend first upgrading the scripts to Watir 2.0.x, the API there is very aligned with what is in Watir-Webdriver, and it allows for a slightly more incremental transition (IMHO) since for example you can control if it uses the older 1 based indexing, or newer 0 based indexing. There are a very few things you cannot do in watir-webdriver which you can do in watir The browser.attach method you mention is one where yes, that exact method is not there, but is replaced by a different method browser.window which can be used to do all that attach did and more See the spec for this herehttps:// github.com/jarib/watirspec/blob/watir2/window_switching_spec.rb A list of differences between watitr-webdriver and watir 1.x is here: https://github.com/jarib/watir-webdriver/wiki/Comparison-with-Watir-1.X there's a lot of very small little details covered, but most of them are unlikely to affect a majority of scripts unless you were making use of a few very specific quirks/features The biggest areas of change IMHO are 1) switching your indexing from 1 based to zero based.. if you use Index a lot, this will require revising a lot of scripts. However if most of these uses in your current scripts are of the form browser.element1(:how, 'what').element2(:index, 1), then the change is not that bad. What you can do is take advantage of the new feature of all elements where if no (:how, 'what') is specified it defaults to looking for the 'first instance' of that element within the specified container, and just strip all instances of (:index,1) from your current scripts. Now verify they all work using watir 2.0 with the indexing still set to one based. Then you only have to modify the remaining uses of :index as a selector, which can be done via a series of replace in all files operations (source control will be your friend ;-) ) and you should then be able to run them with the indexing set for zero based. 2) The shift in Watir 2.0 from AutoIt, to RAutomation for any UI level automation (for popups and such, although watir 2.0 does have some improved methods for some popups and things like filedownload windows, so you will want to look for the areas where you can just deal with it via watir, vs having to automate at the OS level. 3) Changes to Sendkeys for special keys. the coding of these is a lot clearer IMHO but it will require a bunch of search/replace operations for sure to alter these from the keyboard codes to labels like :enter or :f7 4) Changes from .attach to the new .window api 5) any other picky little details you see on the changes list that end up affecting you. There are a few instances where Watir is still superior for driving IE, so you may want to take care of updating everything to use watir 2.0, and take care of steps 1 2, and then fork the scripts off and deal with items 3 and 4 with respect to running things under Watir- Webdriver.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: string to boolean?
instance_eval is a really terrible idea here. it's probably a string true / false because it's coming from somewhere less-trusted. eval is something I avoid, though it has its uses on occasion, but eval'ing external input is pretty much never good. match the strings you want to the values you want. option == 'true' ? true : option == 'false' ? false : something_else. don't eval. On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 10:17, Jarmo Pertman jarm...@gmail.com wrote: Yeah, of course. My bad.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Managing multiple version of Watir
you know, you can just choose which gem version to activate within ruby.
require 'rubygems'
gem 'watir', '1.6.2'
require 'watir' # rubygems will only require v1.6.2.
then you can have as many versions of the watir gem installed simultaneously
as you want, and switch between them by changing, say, a yaml config file
(and doing: gem('watir', loaded_yaml_config_hash['version']). or something)
rvm's gemsets would work but are slight overkill, and rvm isn't an option on
windows. managing your entire ruby + gems in a git repo is way overkill.

Hi Jarmo,
Thanks for your reply. I will simply say that it does work like that.
I am using git to manage the entire ruby directory - so Ruby Gems
directory is included. I will explain it in very basic terms using
three files in the example below. Imagine that rooby = ruby. Note
that the branches are totally independent. Also note that 'git merge'
is never used. The master branch contains readme.txt only. The v162
branch contains readme.txt and has a file - watir.txt with I am 162
as its' contents. The v170 branch contains readme.txt and has a file
- watir.txt with I am 170 as its' contents. Now if I checkout branch
v162, there is no notion of the latest version - I am 170. Please
note that each version is installed on its' own branch. If I had
merged these branches back into master, then what you are saying would
definitely be true. So, in this manner, I never need to change my
scripts to point to a specific version of Watir. I think that this
behavior mimics managing gem sets with RVM.

Yes, I could specify the specific versions in the require statement as
Dmitriy suggested and I have done it that way in the past. The end
result here using git is the appearance of two Ruby complete
installations - one with Watir V1.6.2 and one with Watir v1.7.0
Thanks again - I think that you did not realize that git is managing
the entire ruby installation. Please let me know if you understand
now.

Hi!
I don't understand how your current solution works? It doesn't work
like that. As soon as you install newer version of Watir then it will
be used and it doesn't matter which branch you're with your git since
gem will be loaded from the Ruby gems directory and hasn't anything
to
do with your git branch. So, even if you checkout older branch, then
you're still using newest Watir version.
You could specify the exact version of Watir as Dmitriy already
suggested like this.
Instead of:
require 'watir'
use:
gem watir, 1.6.2 # to use 1.6.2
Now, if you commit that change into your branch, then you can be sure

Re: [wtr-general] OT: WIN32OLE and Word difficulty
Hi Adam, I don't have any experience with OLE stuff in Word, but since I doubt anybody else here has much either, I can make one general suggestion. I'd suggest looking for support for COM/OLE automation with Word outside of the ruby community (definitely outside the watir community - almost all anybody here is likely to know is IE automation, with a smattering of Excel). The capabilities that you have using OLE are the same in Ruby as any other language with bindings for it, but I think that that stuff gets used in .NET languages much much more than in Ruby, so you're a lot more likely to find people who know more about things like automating Word using .NET languages. But since OLE is basically the same no matter what language you're in, it should be simple to translate anything you learn back to ruby usage.

Re: [wtr-general] How to get back to the base browser window after closing the second browser instance
This appears to be a frequently-encountered issue of firewatir; it cannot handle multiple browser windows.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Problem clicking with element_by_xpath
Vapir is an fork of Watir, so it's an alternative to it. Everything is
compatible with Watir's API, with a couple minor exceptions. It works with
all recent versions of ruby. have a look at these wiki pages:
- Getting Started http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/getting-started
- Coming from Watirhttp://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/coming-from-watir
- Differences from Watir

Re: [wtr-general] AutoITx3 works on one machine but not another for opening Excel files
I don't think this has anything to do with AutoIt, or indeed Watir - the error is about excel, and looks like a WIN32OLE error. Is Excel actually installed on your automation box? I've seen this error on machines where Excel has not been installed. If that's not the issue, you'll need to include more than the error message - at a bare minimum include the full error class, stacktrace, and message, and the code that raised the error. But if it's not actually anything to do with Watir (and it doesn't look like it is), I don't know that anybody will necessarily be able to help you here.

On my dev box everything works fine, but the scheduled automation runs (via Hudson) always fail attempting to open the Excel file.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Difficulty typing into textfield
I can answer what the developers were thinking, I believe - they were
thinking I want the word 'password' to be seen in this text field as a sort
of help-text, but when the user clicks on it, I want that to disappear and
their password should show up as asterisks like normal. If the field is
initially a password type, then the default value shows up as '*'s rather
than as 'password'. Various sites do various bits of hackery (usually CSS)
to have help-text-like stuff in password fields. This is one of the poorer
implementations I've seen.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Manipulate Keystrokes on a MAC
well, I'd have posted in the original thread if I had a solution. same is true for everybody else, I suspect, so spamming the same thing repeatedly isn't going to help, regardless of minimally different wording. however, generally, sending keystrokes via the operating system is a poor solution (in my opinion), and much more error-prone than going through the DOM. if it's interacting with a web page that is being problematic, it may be just a question of firing the right events in javascript. not knowing more about the actual problem, it's not possible to get more specific than that, but that is my general, broad advice.

Re: [wtr-general] Question on Sendkeys XPATH
1) send_keys isn't going to work with two things trying to send_keys simultaneously. 2) send_keys is almost never a good solution, in my experience, doing through the dom via watir's api is better. 3) your xpath refers to an image with class of CreateRequestComboContainerRightImageCell but the thing that has that class is a table. 4) you don't really need xpath for this, watir's api is simpler: b.table(:class, 'CreateRequestComboContainerRightImageCell') will get the table and you can get the image inside that.

Re: [wtr-general] HTML element order different in IE8 from IE7
There are several problems here. - The attributes of an html object aren't meant to be in any particular order; them changing is not really a bug. - Using a regexp to parse html is a fundamentally broken idea. - Why are you passing a third argument to #radio at all if you are just getting that value from the html, corresponding to the same element you are trying to retrieve? why not just do ie.radio(:name, 'anniversaryDate') ? The error message isn't great, that is true.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: [Wtr-development] new window automation library: WinWindow
It's great that it is nicely documented :) Thank you. I tried hard to make sure everything had a useful description for the rdoc. From a developer's view i don't like that (almost) all the code is in one file with 1365 lines. Why? I could stand to split this up, that is very true. It grew from one 275-line file, which is reasonable, but I never split it up as it grew. It is time for that to happen, I agree. As a user's view i looked at the API and it seems to be really-really (i mean, really) confuzing. For example, there are methods like #set_foreground! and #really_set_foreground!. Like, what? My aim was to closely mirror the windows api. I basically wanted to expose the lowest level of functionality I could, and not be opinionated around it - for example, winclicker is very opinionated about what functionality is useful and exposes an extremely limiting set of functions, which I wanted to avoid. However, the windows API is confusing. Very confusing. That is reflected equally in the WinWindow library. I couldn't begin to tell you what all the show_* functions do, because microsoft's documentation for those (which is linked from each function), is frequently very unclear. But if somebody can make sense of microsoft's docs, they have those methods available in ruby. #really_set_foreground! is one of the few functions I wrote myself to expand on the windows API's capabilities, and I documented all of what it does to try to set the foreground window (things that #set_foreground! does not do). On another note, i've been lately producing some code using AutoIt since it is nicely integrated with current Watir. I'm being able to produce quite robust and effective results with it. I don't see many benefits of using something else currently (yup, you cannot use everything with AutoIt on locked workstation, but this is also true for FFI and something similar). Anyway, i'm planning to make it as a gem also probably. To my mind, the benefit is removing a largely redundant layer of API. Since AutoIt relies internally on the same windows API functions that WinWindow exposes more directly, there shouldn't be anything that you can do with AutoIt that you can't do with this library. However, AutoIt adds more code and more functionality on top of the windows API, and I have reproduced only some of these things as I have needed them (AutoIt implements a whole lot of stuff that doesn't seem very useful to me). But, things like AutoIt's SendKeys are useful, and not yet attempted with WinWindow. I hope to add to WinWindow things that people would find useful. Basically, to me, there are a few advantages. One, exposing the underlying windows API gives you more power through basic functions to build other things on top of. Two, having this in pure ruby is better than dealing with a DLL. Three, this is entirely open-source. AutoIt only open-sources part of its code these days, so if you want to know what is going on inside with any given function you use, you may not be able to tell that. One disadvantage right now is the lack of higher-level functionality built on top of the windows API such as AutoIt has. I will add functionality as there is demand for it. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.

Re: [wtr-general] Watir Search
I agree that it is a useful tool. I think that it would be a good link to have in the mailing list footer, where we currently have: Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Re: [wtr-general] Jssh for Firefox 4.0 beta3
There are a number of other plugins which do basically the same thing a jssh, which I found researching alternatives.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: More than one condition
Tricky.
I would get all the links that match what you want, and then reject any of
them that are inside the table.
The following entirely untested code may work, or at least give you some
ideas - note that it'll only work in IE due to its reliance on
unique_number; if you want to use firewatir, I can't help you; if you want
to use firefox with vapir-firefox I can come up with something that'll
work.
# get the links that match what I want:
links = browser.links.select{|link| link.href
=~ /imperativeMain.*do.*?navTrailRequired=/ }
# get the table
table = browser.table(:id, 'breadcrumbTable')
# get the links in the table, that I don't want
table_links = table.links.select{|link| link.href
=~ /imperativeMain.*do.*?navTrailRequired=/ }
# reject the table links, matching on unique_number
good_link = links.detect do |link| # find the first link ...
!table_links.any? do |table_link| # where there aren't any links inside
the table ...
table_link.unique_number == link.unique_number # with the same unique
number
end
end

Guys,
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
First of all I dont have ids. I said in the beginning id but it is actually
url I am clicking on.
The links are dynamic so I cannot give the exact one.
In the page when I am deleting an item, it records the item in recently
visited table. If after deleting the item I will click on the link in
Recently visited, I will get to a dead end. It is obviously a bug but it is
not being fixed for time being, and I will have easier life with watir tests
if I can get a work around.
I will give you exact examples:
I want to click on this html tag:
a href=/c2p/imperativeMain.do?navTrailRequired=falseamp;id=1
class=linkList onmouseover=TagToTip('ID_SPAN_CONTEXT_NOTE__1', WIDTH,
-240, SHADOW, true, BORDERCOLOR, '#e9e1c5', FONTCOLOR, '#99', BGCOLOR,
'#c0', STICKY, true, FONTFACE, 'verdana, arial, helvetica', FONTSIZE,
'11px', CLICKCLOSE, true); onmouseout=UnTip();Source: font
class=supporting[Pending] /fontbSS very long name imperative /b/a
The link that will lead me to a dead end its html is:
a onclick=pageTracker._trackEvent('Recently visited', 'Recently visited -
Source', 'belt;scriptgt;alert( c...');= title=belt;scriptgt;alert(
copy)lt;= scriptgt;?=
href=/c2p/imperativeMain.do?navTrailRequired=falseamp;id=262span
class=breadcrumb_gray(Source) /spanbelt;scriptgt;alert(C.../a
For clicking on each of them I will do with watir:
ie.link(:url,/imperativeMain.*do.*?navTrailRequired=/).click
What I found is that the link that leads me to dead end is surrounded by a
table:
table id=breadcrumbTable
...link to dead end...
/table
I thought it can give me an option to tell watir not to choose this link.
Is it possible?
Again, I cannot access with ids because the items' ids are unexpected.
I hope it is clearer.

HUH? If THE URL IS THE SAME, then how can one link lead you somewhere
the other link does not? If both links point to the same URL, they
should both take you to the same page, otherwise if they take you
different places, they must have different url's .
The problem appears to be that you are trying to select via a regular
expression, and more than one thing is matching that expression. Can
you change the regex so it will select one unique link instead of
matching multiple links on the page??
Or another way to consider it, if you were working the page manually,
how would you know which link is the one you want to click, what
identifies it to you visually?
Instead of supplying us with detailed HTML of the table and links you
don't want to select, how about you provide some HTML of the one you
DO want to select? Perhaps it is inside some other unique container
like a div which could be used to identify it better?

Index is not working for me since the table is not static and is growing

This is the entire table if it helps better:

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Exception when clicking on items from the 'images' collection
The page is changing while you're iterating over the images. If you have, say, 5 images, and clicking on the 3rd one will cause the page to change, then on the next iteration through the loop, you're trying to use the 4th image which has now stopped existing. Vapir tries to find it again, fails, and tells you it can't relocate the image. Firewatir gives a less informative error, but probably for the same reason. You should do some sort of check after clicking each image to see if anything happened, and if so stop trying to click more images (because they won't be there anymore).

Re: [wtr-general] Re: unable to find element using xpath
I don't think there's anything wrong with xpath. However, you are using #cell, which looks for a table cell, but specifying tag a which is a link.

Re: [wtr-general] Firewatir attach method doesn't work properly
Vapir is currently broken on 3.0.*. A fix is coming, but I have a number of
other higher-priority issues to fix first. You can upgrade to 3.5 or 3.6, or
wait until I can get 3.0 support working.

Re: [wtr-general] Unable to locate checkbox element ?
deep nesting with most elements is no issue, but there is some mention of a frame there. if it's inside a frame, then you'll need to access the frame first, then the checkbox in the frame.

Re: [wtr-general] Firewatir attach method doesn't work properly
Same as the Watir API: Vapir::Browser.attach(:title, the title) or Vapir::Browser.attach(:title, /part of the title/) or Vapir::Browser.attach(:url, /foobar.html/) If you want to continue using the watir namespace so that you don't have to modify your existing code extensively, you can do so using the watir-vapir require - see http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/coming-from-watir for more information.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Watir on Windows, how is it done anymore?
My understanding was that the issue with quoting system arguments (which is a ruby bug on everything since 1.8.6p111) came up with the mingw32 releases for launching things in a new ruby process, which watir does for click_no_wait and other no_wait stuff.

Re: [wtr-general] Calling external javascript function from cell tag attribute
the GetResultForPage function will be defined on the window object, not the
document. I'm not sure if that js_eval will work, though, as I'm not sure
how you refer to the window in firewatir.
I recommend Vapir-Firefox, an updated fork of Firewatir. it will fire the
correct javascript events when you call #click. if there is any issue with
that, you can call the function directly using something like:
browser.content_window_object.GetResultForPage('2')

I also tried to get to the table cell by its index and execute the

Does 'firewatir' support the call of such external javascript

Hello everyone,
I'm noticing a strange behaviour when my Win32 Fx 3.6.6 (JSSH 0.9,
Ruby 1.8.6, [Fire]Watir 1.6.5) loads a page and it winds up being
pulled from cache: Firewatir doesn't wait for the page to load, at
all. It immediately fires, often on a non-existent or still-rendering
page/DOM.
Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? (either via browser
settings or a Firewatir setting?) Since wait() is not doing anything
in these situations, I don't want to have to start sprinkling
Watir::Waiter::wait_for { } blocks in the hundreds of spots this would
be potentially required in my test suite. Watir::IE handles
everything I throw at it just fine.
It's difficult to post code when working in a proprietary house, if
requested I'll try to create a reproducible scenario based on what I'm
seeing.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Issue retrieving URL for a HTML file loaded from local file system
By default, IE interacts with web pages at a low integrity level. It needs a medium or high to access content on local drives. You may get Scite to launch ruby with high integrity level by running scite as administrator. I'm not really familiar with scite, so I don't know if this will work. It may be possible to configure the way scite launches ruby itself to run it with administrator privileges, but I don't know how you might do that. Or you can force IE to always run at medium integrity - In IE's options, turning off Enable Protected Mode makes everything run at medium integrity level. This affects IE beyond the scope of watir, though. On Sun, Jul 11, 2010 at 08:43, joedio joe...@comcast.net wrote: Good advice guys! I am running on both Visa and Windows7 (two different PC's).

Re: [wtr-general] Element #visible?
I agree - I've brought this up on the development mailing list before. I've also changed the behavior in vapir, my fork of watir. On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 15:56, chandu.tennety chandu.tenn...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, The visible? method returns false for a disabled element that is visible on the screen. Is this valid behavior? The intent of the code seems to be that if an element's parent is disabled, then the current element is not visible. But if it's just the current element that is disabled, but present on the screen, shouldn't it be treated as visible? Sample code --- HTML: input type=text value=test_read_only size=30 name=user[username] id=user_username disabled=disabled Ruby/Watir: t = ie.text_field(:id, 'user_username') t.visible? # = false t.disabled? # = true t.exists? # = true FWIW, using watir_webdriver, the visible? method for the same text field above returns true, which I believe should be the case.

Re: [wtr-general] Firefox and TinyMCE
firewatir's execute_script executes in the context of the very top level
exposed by jssh, which is different than the top level that's available to
the web page. in jssh you can control the browser itself to a much greater
extent than is possible through a page (which is how firewatir works).
a top-level variable on the page is defined on the content window object of
the browser. I don't know about in firewatir, but in vapir-firefox (my fork
of firewatir, which I highly recommend over firewatir), your script should
work because execute_script is defined in the context of the content window,
not the top level of the jssh environment.
or you can write your javascript in ruby, something like:
firefox.content_window_object.tinyMCE.get('editor_id').setContent('some
content')
see http://vapir.org/
If you want to stick with firewatir, you'll have to figure out a reference
to the content window object and evaluate your script in that context. I'm
not sure what that would be.

Writing a test that sets content in a TinyMCE instance using a firefox

This raises JsshSocket::JSReferenceError: tinyMCE is not defined
even though the exact same code works if entered into Firebug.
There's another post here about doing this with IE, getting the
editor's element by ID, setting focus, and typing stuff into it - that
doesn't work with the Firefox browser object.
So here's what I've got working:
firefox.goto(javascript:tinyMCE.get('editor_id').setContent('some
content'))
firefox.back
firefox.wait
# now I can submit the form and the value gets passed from TinyMCE
Anyone know why execute_script doesn't see the tinyMCE JavaScript
object? Is it running in some other context? Anyone have a more
elegant way of doing this?
If not, this works for the next guy trying to do it.

[wtr-general] Vapir
Dear Watir people, I am happy to announce the release of the Vapir library, which is a fork of Watir and FireWatir. It is documented primarily at the github wiki at http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/ Documentation is sorely lacking at the moment, and improving it is my highest priority, but putting the code out for people to use preceded that. Links to other aspects of the forked project are listed at http://vapir.org/ The API is in most cases the same, with some changes where I felt it was best; these are enumerated at http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/differences-from-watir-api It is a release candidate currently, and can be installed using the --pre flag to rubygems (rubygems 1.3.6 is required; run gem update --system if you are on an earlier version). gem install --pre vapir-firefox gem install --pre vapir-ie Major improvements over Watir are: - Modal dialog API which is (mostly) consistent between IE and Firefox - http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/modal-dialogs - Unified codebase for both Firefox and IE interaction - basically, everything that works in IE works in Firefox as well, which is not the case with FireWatir. - Many bug fixes and feature enhancements for issues in Watir's issue tracker, which will be documented more thoroughly on the wiki in the coming days. I would encourage any questions or discussion to go to Vapir's mailing list, not Watir's. The forked project is intended to stand on its own, separate from the Watir library due to a great deal of changes in the codebase which make it to some degree (a small degree, hopefully) incompatible.

Re: [wtr-general] Vapir
More unit tests of my changes are one area in need of major improvement, up there with documentation. Element#text isn't any different (except I think, for whitespace stuff in Firefox), and the only code change to inner/outer html is that I implemented outer_html for firefox where it doesn't exist in firewatir. Merging that back to firewatir would be very difficult. Class names shouldn't really affect usage very much if at all, since you don't instantiate classes directly, but get instances through the API.

What do you think, Ethan and devs? From my point of view, the changes I would use the most are: - Element#text - Element#inner_html / outer_html - Class names section and obviously, the new Model dialogs support. I know it certainly isn't simple as that. How active is the Watir development nowadays? If a release is not near, the core devs could focus on merging the most wanted features from Vapir.

Re: [wtr-general] how ruby interacts with already opened powerpoint
This group is about Watir, not WIN32OLE. I would look for microsoft's
documentation on what powerpoint exposes for OLE automation.
You will probably have to iterate over open applications to detect the
existing powerpoint window. You might look at the source of Watir::IE.each
(ie-class.rb, line 236) for an example of iterating over application
windows, though that is of course for IE windows and not powerpoint, and
you'd have to adapt it heavily to get what you need out of it.

not sending the key stroke.
So after setting changed the ppt already opened so i should be able to
directly count the slides on that ppt by focusing or activating the same

i tried with below code but it seems not working. any thoughts???

If you want to know if an exception occurred causing your program to exit,
you can check if the global exception variable, $! is set.
at_exit do
if $!
print an exception occurred of type #{$!.class}

or something along those lines.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Saving Javascript Files
It looks like you have the watir part down. It's easy to download data from
a URL in ruby, though not through watir. Check the Net::HTTP library.
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Net/HTTP.html
If the script's src attribute is set to a relative path then you'll have
to combine it with the page's url to get an absolute path, but that
shouldn't be too hard.

Hi Tiffany,
I realize water is a ruby library that interacts with web browsers. I also
realize it's easy to enumerate all the linked script files with something
like:
jscripts = ie.document.getElementsTagName(script)
jscripts.each do |js|
puts Javascript file is located at: #{js.invoke('src')}
#Easy way to download javascript file? I could do this I guess:
javascritpt_content = ie.goto(js.invoke('src')).html # Obviously
have to account for relative urls here
end
I was wondering more if there was a built in way.
Thanks anyway

Hi!
Watir is a Ruby library that allows users to interact with web

Good luck!

Re: [wtr-general] Grrr! click_no_wait does not work :-(
Is the popup triggered by an onclick event, or an onmouseup or onmousedown
event? If it's the latter, watir won't trigger it; #click and #click_no_wait
don't do those events. you'll have to explicitly
fire_event_no_wait('onmousedown') or mouseup.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Error in IRB: LoadError: no such file to load -- watir
Watir being a library for ruby, some familiarity with ruby is assumed as a prerequisite for using it. That includes familiarity with ruby's environment, including irb and rubygems. Likewise, opening a command prompt is something we assume people know how to do. There are many excellent resources for getting started with ruby which go over rubygems and irb, and perhaps linking to some from watir's documentation would be helpful, but watir's documentation doesn't need to be another resource for that. Introducing people to all the needed technology is well beyond the scope of watir's documentation - it doesn't tell you how to use rubygems, it doesn't tell you how to use irb, it doesn't tell you how to use your operating system, it doesn't tell you how to buy a computer. Having used a great variety of ruby libraries, I've found watir's to be relatively thorough (in many cases with less well documented libraries I end up simply reading ruby source for lack of any real docs). Lastly, it's a wiki - please do make any improvements you see fit. That is infinitely more helpful than trashing the work that people have put into the existing documentation.

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: [ANN] WatiRspec 0.1.0
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.

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.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Stop Firefox?
You can basically override any method anywhere in ruby. require 'firewatir' class FireWatir::Firefox def wait sleep 5 # just pause a few seconds rather than actually checking to see if the page is still loading end end that should clobber the existing Firefox#wait method.

Re: [wtr-general] Screen Capture error
This is due to a change between ruby 1.8 and 1.9 in how the syntax ?x is
interpreted, where x is any character.
You can change the screen_capture.rb file. Every instance of ?x needs to be
replaced with 'x'.getbyte(0)
so the line:
keybd_event.Call(vkKeyScan.Call(?F), 1, 0, 0)
should become:
keybd_event.Call(vkKeyScan.Call('F'.getbyte(0)), 1, 0, 0)
and so on.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Screen Capture error
Well, I'm not sure that watir officially supports ruby 1.9 yet. I think it
does mostly. But, yes, that code should be changed in the source.

This is due to a change between ruby 1.8 and 1.9 in how the syntax ?x is
interpreted, where x is any character.
You can change the screen_capture.rb file. Every instance of ?x needs to
be
replaced with 'x'.getbyte(0)
so the line:
keybd_event.Call(vkKeyScan.Call(?F), 1, 0, 0)
should become:
keybd_event.Call(vkKeyScan.Call('F'.getbyte(0)), 1, 0, 0)
and so on.

Hi,
I have written a quick little program to see how to use
screen_capture and am having an error condition that I am not able to
resolve. I suspect it is an easy fix.I will share the code from the
program and command line error generated.
Thanks in advance.

Code is as follows
===
require 'watir'
require 'watir/screen_capture'
include Watir::ScreenCapture

#click on the Produce blue bar
browser.div(:text, Produce).click
#Click on New
browser.div(:text,New).click
#Click on Project
browser.link(:text,Project).click
#create a new project.
browser.frame(:name, a2IFrame).form(:id,

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Packaging up an browser with a script?
No bindings exist for that browser, I expect. There are bindings for safari on Mac OSX, but I doubt they'd be at all compatible with that, the only similarity being Webkit. You might look into Firefox Portable, assuming you're on windows. I use that to keep a consistent browser environment for all the machines that people I work with use Watir on. You can run it alongside an installed Firefox without conflict, at the same time.

On Mar 15, 2:26 pm, dchuk darrindemc...@gmail.com wrote: So I've found Watir to be really cool, great for a lot of scraping and testing needs. I especially love the ability to record interactions in Firefox and for the most part have code ready to drop into my scripts. But now I'm at a point where I'd like to be able to script out a tool or test, then switch it to an internal browser solution that can be packaged up and distributed to any machine and run on it's own, irrelevant of the system it's on. I know there is Celerity, which obviously does this stuff, but it's not the cleanest solution when it comes to working with AJAX and Javascript. I've been thinking that potentially being able to package up a stripped down webkit browser could be a different solution. That way, you'd have the full power of Safari rendering without needing to tie into a client's firefox or IE. The script would access it's own browser instead of touching system browsers. Is this possible? Is there a way to tell your scripts to load a specific webkit browser? -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.
