Re: [Wtr-general] Everyday Scripting with Ruby (the book)
I've ordered one also. I was a reviewer for the early drafts of the book, which were very good, I'm looking forward to seeing how the final version came out! I was very excited for the release of this book (back when it was going to be called Scripting for Testers or something along those lines), and waited almost a year for it, however after flipping through it at the bookstore I'm not sure just how useful it is for anyone with intermediate (or so) Ruby skills. The test and watir coverage seemed pretty light overall, mostly covered basic Ruby stuff like working with Strings, Arrays, RegExp etc. and programming 101 - decision structures, variables etc. Maybe good for a beginner, but didn't turn out to be what I expected. No slight to Brian with whom some of you are probably well acquainted, just didn't seem to meet my needs/expectations. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Unable to access a modal dialog box to select a
Bret,
I think It is a modal_dialog box because Watir is able to close the box through
the command 'ie.modal_dialog.close'. Also, the command,
puts ie.modal_dialog.html outputs the '.html' of the dialog as the following:
HTMLHEADTITLESelect/TITLE
SCRIPT language=javascript
!--
function init()
{
indow.returnValue = null;
var savedIDs = ;
var excludeID = ;
var frameURL =
../Common/SelectLookupItem.aspx?FullListLookupType=LOCTYPEFULL;
if (savedIDs.length 0)
frameURL = frameURL + SavedIDs= + savedIDs;
if (excludeID.length 0)
frameURL = frameURL + ExcludeID= + excludeID;
document.all.PopupFrame.src = frameURL;
}
function FrameCallback(selectedIDs)
{
window.returnValue = selectedIDs;
window.close();
}
// --
/SCRIPT
/HEAD
BODY onload=init(); MS_POSITIONING=GridLayoutIFRAME id=PopupFrame
style=Z-INDEX: 5; WIDTH: 100%; POSITION: absolute; HEIGHT: 100% marginWidth=0
marginHeight=0
src=../Common/SelectLookupItem.aspx?FullListLookupType=LOCTYPEFULL
frameBorder=0 noResize scrolling=yes
/IFRAME/BODY/HTML
I am sorry to say that I do not know how to use this '.html' to select a
particular value from the dialog box and click the 'Ok' button to confirm the
selection. Please help me to do this.
Thank you for your time,
Vijay.

Re: [Wtr-general] Unable to access a modal dialog box to select a
My best guess is that your modal dialog is using frames. The HTML that its returning is not the right frame. Thats my best guess and how i would approach the problem. - Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=6357messageID=18076#18076 ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Is there a way to over ride Watir's checking if IE is busy?
Thanks for all of the tips. I finally figured out that my test was actually taking a long time after firing an event onmouseover for my menus on pages with streaming content. I don't know why that was happening, but a put timeout blocks around each of my operations, hovering over the menu, and clicking on a menu item, and now my test works just fine. No my problem wasn't that the test never started, it was just that on some pages, specifically those with streaming content, I never regained control after hovering over the menus. There is seemingly a problem in the wait method in Watir 1.4.1 that causes this, though our website may be a special case. Anyway I resolved my problem, again, by placing timeout blocks around each of my operations. Thank you.

IE7 introduced some new properties to show when ajax requests were completed.

looks like this cant be done easily. the new properties are on a per request object basis, and not any easily acccessibl global object. so the best way is to use the loop below.

[Wtr-general] Installation Problem
I hope this is an acceptable topic for this list... I just installed Ruby 1.8.5 on my system, and then, with much effort, managed to get the watir-1.4.1.exe installed (it has a major install bug that I was able to circumvent). So after all that, I open a command prompt into the installation location, and run all_tests.rb as instructed, and I get the errors below: C:\Program Files\Watir\unittestsall_tests.rb C:/Program Files/Watir/unittests/../unittests/setup.rb:4:in `require': no such f ile to load -- watir (LoadError) from C:/Program Files/Watir/unittests/../unittests/setup.rb:4 from C:/Program Files/Watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4:in 'require' from C:/Program Files/Watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4 It looks like it might be a simple pathing issue, but I'm not sure. I do have the path setup so that I can run regular ruby, but I haven't tried to add anything for watir yet; I thought I would ask here first. I don't remember having this problem about eight months ago when I first tried Watir, but that was on another computer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Re: [Wtr-general] Installation Problem
It's been a while since I tried an executable installer so I'm not sure about your specific problem. It looks like you've got a space in your path, which can cause problems in some scripts. As with all things Ruby, it tends to be easier to go the Ruby Way and use the gem installer. Figuring out the Ruby Way is the hard part : ) If you open your command prompt and type: gem install watir That should install Watir 1.4.1 as a Ruby gem, which will probably take care of the issue. You'll then be able to find the Watir install and unit tests under ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir . . . where the first ruby is your root ruby install directory. If that command (gem) is not a recognized command, then you do indeed have a path issue, and you might want to try reinstalling ruby under the C:\ directory, or following a howto on adding a directory to your PATH like http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm. Just add your ruby/ directory to the path and you should be all set. Ethan On 2/2/07, RobG [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I hope this is an acceptable topic for this list...

Re: [Wtr-general] Everyday Scripting with Ruby (the book)
The test and watir coverage seemed pretty light overall, mostly covered basic Ruby stuff like working with Strings, Arrays, RegExp etc. and programming 101 - decision structures, variables etc. Maybe good for a beginner, but didn't turn out to be what I expected. No slight to Brian with whom some of you are probably well acquainted, just didn't seem to meet my needs/expectations. I just got my copy, and I've been surfing the first 50 pages or so. For one thing, there are subtle programming hints, even in the most mundane exercises, that are very nice bits of design to learn. As an example, for one part of the very first exercise we want to ignore certain filenames in the script. Rather than a conditional statement, Brian has the scripter construct a method boring? that checks for boring strings.Blocks are also introduced before conditionals. Very slick. Even if you know this stuff, there are surprising little bits that will still probably take you by surprise, unless you are very, very good at Ruby. The book's philosophy re: testing per se is on page 4: Automating test execution is not the most efficient way to learn and Automating test execution may not be the most effective thing for you to do. But the 'test/unit' library is introduced in the second part, so testing is definitely a big part of the book. -Chris ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
