Re: [Wtr-general] How can I open and attach file using file_field method?
I encountered this problem yesterday, and unlike the mail archives, I have
an answer. I was getting exactly the behavior described below:
1) I would run a script using file_field.set
2) The script would get to the set method
3a) the choose file window would be invoked
3b) the file setFileDialog.rb would be opened in my ruby editor
3c) the script would sit there waiting for me to take manual action.
4) As soon as I take manual action to close the window, the script would
resume
Messing around with autoit, and the other suggestions didn't help at all.
The problem seems to be caused by associating *.rb files with an IDE. When
the set method attempts to start the thread that manipulates the Choose File
window, the operating system directs the script to the IDE rather than to
Ruby. As soon as I changed the association to the Ruby executable, the
file_field set method worked happily. (Well, not quite happily... The method
still doesn't like spaces in the path name, but that's an easy problem to
solve.)
I assume that Watir launching a new thread and telling the thread to execute
setFileDialog.rb, while what it needs to do is tell the thread to execute
setFileDialog.rb *with Ruby*. Either that or people getting this bug need to
change the file associations.

What behavior do you see? When my script runs I see a Dos window open with
focus (just like WinClicker), then the file chooser window open under the
Dos window. The Dos window scrolls through all the objects open and finally
gets to the File Chooser window, the document name (from $path) appears in
the file name field, the open button is clicked and that information is
transferred to the file_field text boxes. Finally the submit button is
clicked and the file is attached.

Hi,
I tried as said...Even then I am facing the same problem.
Code Used:
$path = C:/Watir/file.txt
$ie.file_field(:name,srcfile).set($path)
$autoit = WIN32OLE.new(AutoItX3.Control)
$autoit.WinWait(Choose file, Do you want to open or save this file?, 3)
$autoit.WinActivate(Choose file)
$autoit.WinWait(Choose file, Look in, 3)
$autoit.ControlSetText(Choose file, , Edit1, #{$path})
$autoit.ControlClick(Choose file, Look in, Open)
$ie.button(:name, Open).click
The file field highlights(yellow)and opens choose file dialog along with
another ruby file with contents:
#
# setFileDialog.rb
#
#
# This file contains the file dialog when it runs as a separate process
$LOAD_PATH ! lt; File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..'))
puts $LOAD_PATH
require 'watir/winClicker'
filepath = invalid path passed to setFileDialog.rb
filepath = ARGV[0] unless ARGV[0] == nil
clicker= WinClicker.new
clicker.setFileRequesterFileName(filepath)
clicker = nil
Then it waits for me to manually select the file and attach.
I have ensured that the path is correct and there is a text file viz. file
in the Watir folder.
Thanks,

This will give a chance for the ie.close to really close. 2. Don't close IE -- just reuse the existing client between tests. 3. Create an additional IE. As long as this lives, the IE server will continue to live and you can close and create IE windows without worry. I presume you are using Watir 1.4. The watir library in HEAD uses option 3 to avoid this problem. Am I seeing a different problem since I'm using watir-1.5? Or is it the same thing? If it is the same thing, how do I do #3?

Ah, you're right, I misunderstood the original question. Rodrigo, in my case, I have interim pages that show messages to the user before the page I need to manipulate arrives. Also, I have pages that have frames, and the frames take longer to load than the outer page does. So I've written these little looping checkers that don't do the next action until the right part of the page is in place. If that's your issue, then my code will work well for you.

Re: [Wtr-general] Methods that can be used within a frame?
Tyler, What I've done in the past is to create a new method, Element#html= which allows you to replace the outerHTML for any element: class Watir::Element def html=(new_html) assert_exists @o.outerHTML = new_html end end Unfortunately, when playing with your top level document that contains the frameset there wasn't any Watir::Element I could grab. I tried doing it manually by taking different document elements on that top page and trying to do the change like: ie.document.body.outerhtml = BODYtest/BODY Even though e.document.body.ole_put_methods shows that we should be able to do this (an outerHTML put call exists) when tried I got the following error: irb(main):029:0 ie.document.body.outerhtml = BODYtest/BODY WIN32OLERuntimeError: OLE error code:800A0258 in htmlfile No Description HRESULT error code:0x80020009 Exception occurred. from (irb):29:in `method_missing' from (irb):29 So in Tyler's case, I was unable to find a way to change the frame element in his top HTML. However, I often use this replacement technique to prevent popups by changing the HTML attributes like this: ie.text_field(:id, 'xxx').html = ie.text_field(:id, 'xxx').html.sub(/ onclick=\S+/, '') which clears out the onclick=... from the element.

I've just encountered a situation where this doesn't work, and written a
fix for it, though I'm not sure where this fix would best be integrated.
The problem is that while an input element may NOT be read only, a
containing element like a table cell, table row or div may have their
visibility turned off, which prevents Watir from setting the focus on
the input element and effectively makes the input element read only even
though the readonly attribute is false:
irb(main):014:0 ie.text_field(:id, 'Detail_Date').readonly?
= false
irb(main):015:0 ie.text_field(:id, 'Detail_Date').set('01/01/2000')
WIN32OLERuntimeError: focus

Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not
enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.0.1010/./watir.rb:3871:in `set'
from (irb):15
In this case, a TR element a few levels higher has a style of
visibility: hidden; display: none so the control is invisible and thus
read only.
I see a few solutions. The first would be to try to update the input
element and then rescue the WIN32OLERuntimeError exception. I'm not
particularly fond of this, especially since the exception isn't an
exception specific to this problem. Another option is to iterate up the
DOM elements checking every element to make sure that is is visible.
This could be done in
Element#readonly?, but then we wouldn't be able to see the value of the
actual readonly attribute. I chose to implement another method which I
called writable? which first checks that the element exists, is
enabled and not readonly and then moves up the DOM tree and reports
false if any element is not visible (visibility != 'hidden' and display
!= 'none').
I've tested this and while it can be slow if the input element is deeply
embedded it *does* seem to be accurate:
irb(main):016:0 ie.text_field(:id, 'Detail_Date').writable?
= false
irb(main):017:0 ie.text_field(:id, 'Detail_DOB').writable?
= true
You can try this by adding the following method in your Watir script or
by adding just the writable? definition inside class Element in
Watir.rb. I can add this to trunk once I get some tests written to test
it if we decide this is the way to go. Does anyone have a cleaner or
faster way to do this?
module Watir
class Element
# Determine if we can write to a DOM element.
# If any parent element isn't visible then we cannot write to the
# element. The only realiable way to determine this is to iterate
# up the DOM elemint tree checking every element to make sure it's
# visible.
def writable?
assert_exists
# First make sure the element itself is writable
begin
assert_enabled
assert_not_readonly
rescue Watir::Exception::ObjectDisabledException,
Watir::Exception::ObjectReadOnlyException
return false
end
return false if ! document.iscontentEditable
# Now iterate up the DOM element tree and return false if any
# parent element isn't visible or is disabled.
object = document
while object
begin
if object.style.invoke('visibility') =~ /^hidden$/i
return false
end
if object.style.invoke('display') =~ /^none$/i
return false
end
if object.invoke('isDisabled')
return false
end
rescue WIN32OLERuntimeError
end
object += '.parentElement'
end
true
end
end
end

Re: [Wtr-general] Methods that can be used within a frame?
Bret, I think we are having some syntactic problems. I CAN do it manually, by interacting with the page myself. I'll try and explain the situation since I can't actually give an example. I am working with a customer service app that has multiple frames, a search bar on the left, a customer frame in the top right, and an invoice frame in the top left. When a search is issued that can result in multiple people, a popup window is opened containing all the names of possible customers. When a name is selected, the customer frame is supposed to change to show that specific customer. When I go through the process myself, it works. However, when using watir, I can click on the link, but it does not load the customer info in the customer frame. I could not get it to work directly, so my idea was to take the link URL and load it manually in the frame, but apparently this is not possible, at least not at this time. Hopefully that helps clear things up.--TylerOn 6/1/06, Bret Pettichord [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 6/1/06, Tyler Prete [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well I may not even have to deal with it anymore, but how would I change this manually? I do not have control over the HTML in the page, I am only interacting with it via Watir. By design, Watir is a tool for automating things that you can do manually. If you don't know how to do it manually, then Watir is probably the wrong tool for you.

Re: [Wtr-general] How to create a script for calendar function?
Try
ie2.show_links to see all the links in the page
and ie2.show_tables to see all the tables in the page
Looking at the code snippet --
ie2.link(:text, '2').click should set the date to '2006-06-02'
ie2.link(:id, ).click should set the date to '2006-06-02'
Ie2.table(:index, 2)[2][6].click should set the date to '2006-06-02'
ie2.table(:index, )[2][6].fireEvent('onclick') should also set the date
to '2006-06-02'
Also ie2.link(:text, '').click should move the year back
ie2.link(:text, '').click should move the year forward
ie2.link(:text, '').click should move the month forward
ie2.link(:text, 'Print').click should print (I assume)
etc.
Likewise ie2.table(:index, 1)[1][1].click will move the year back
ie2.table(:index, 1)[1][1].fireEvent will move the year back
etc.
I recommend identifying the links by :text (simple to code and read) --
but there are many other ways to do the same thing.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if all calendar functions are created equal -- the one used at
my site pops up another IE window -- I can attach to it and then drive
it like always.
ie.image(:id, 'my_calendar_icon').click
@ie2=IE.attach(:title, /Select Date/)
Now @ie2 is another browser instance with select_lists, links, buttons,
etc. available to control through regular watir statements.

ie2.link(:index, 7).click should set the date to '2006-06-02'

*IF* (this is a big if, because I am not familiar with the calendar
thing) the elements are in a predicable pattern on the page, then here
is a possible avenue of approach:
You could access the elements by index, and use the html= method of
David's to give them names or IDs. Then access as usual . . .
