[wtr-general] Re: Is the FireWatir-Watir integration working for you?
If you can get me a reproducible case, then I would like to see a Jira
report.
Otherwise, you might just add a note to
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Firewatir+Compatibility

After breaking out the offending line
userID = @@browser.cell(:xpath, "//[contains(text(),'#{@@uName}')]/../
td[1]").innerText
to a much smaller script, it worked in both browsers.. (the original
script has 482 lines)
So, I think the "UnknownObjectException" may be evidence the browser
object got stale in the firefox world.
Still worth a Jira report?

Didn't try it yet. We have a framework that is based on faucets and tailored for our application. I wanted to try over the holidays, but wasn't motivated enough. I'll see if I can try it before the Austin conf later this month. Dave --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

This is the first I've heard of this problem. Could you please report
this in Jira?

[wtr-general] Re: Is the FireWatir-Watir integration working for you?
I've run into a few issues too.
I'm writing scripts that work in both IE and FireFox. Using
"Watir::Browser.default =" and "Watir::Browser.new"
Pleny of success so far..
HOWEVER, the following works in IE but throws an
"UnknownObjectException" in FireFox.
# get the target userID
userID = @@browser.cell(:xpath, "//[contains(text(),'#
{@@uName}')]/../td[1]").innerText
Am using xpath calls in plenty of other places that work in both
browsers - but for some reason this one fails in FireFox.

[wtr-general] Re: Is the FireWatir-Watir integration working for you?
<> It's working pretty well. I took one of our test suites that tests system privileges and have a few hundred tests consistently passing on both IE and Firefox. It's still not in 'production' yet (we're currently using 1.4.1 to run our tests) but think we could probably make the jump in the near future. << Are there issues that are preventing you from using it effectively? >> I think the lack of a consistent attach method (or any official support for attach in 1.6.2) is a problem. This isn't a complaint, I know it was probably a huge amount of work to get everything working together and I saw something about planned support in an upcoming release. And I was mostly able to work around it. One thing that didn't really cause a problem for me - but might for others - is the use of custom browser methods. We have quite a few in our framework and it took a little time to figure out how to get things working on both browser platforms. Now everything's more or less in one module that gets included at runtime based on the browser selection. It's not hard to do if you're OK with Ruby and have spent some time with Watir but it's harder to do with the newer version. But I'm not sure how many people add methods directly to the browser class - most of the examples I've seen describe describe some sort of non-integrated login function instead. And it is still possible. Anyway, I'm pretty happy. I'd give the latest release a high rating. It takes a little more work to get creative now but the compatibility between Firefox and IE is much, much, much better than the last time I looked at running tests on the Firefox side.

[wtr-general] Re: Is the FireWatir-Watir integration working for you?
I did not realize that people were still posting bug reports to the firewatir project. We've been using Jira to track bugs with FireWatir since the summer. http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR Wilson, I read your report, but would appreciate more details. Can you give us an example of a page that gives different results with Watir and FireWatir? And would you mind moving your report to Jira, so that it is listed with the other FireWatir bugs.

I have tested my existed suite on Firefox, found the returned content of firewatir method is difference from between firewatir and watir, please refer to the http://code.google.com/p/firewatir/issues/detail?id=80. This is the biggest issues. Wilson Xu On Dec 19, 6:17 am, "Lisa Crispin" wrote: > I just haven't had time to get it working.

[wtr-general] Re: Is the FireWatir-Watir integration working for you?
I just haven't had time to get it working. Actually I haven't even had time to get my whole suite of tests working again. They run individually, but fail in a suite - windows are not getting closed and the next test fails. The suite ran before fine although we had been having random failures we couldn't figure out. This is a big problem for us but we've been swamped. I am determined to figure it out this sprint and we added a story this sprint to be sure we have time. It is ultimately our goal to be able to use FireWatir since 100% of our team works on a Mac. A couple of us also have PCs. I am excited about the potential, though! I guess it's a movie I really, really want to see how it ends! -- Lisa On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 3:09 PM, Pete Dignan wrote: > > I'm curious, now that 1.6.2 has been out for a little while.
