[Wtr-general] How to make IE as active windows and capture it?

[Jason He]

Dear all,

 

I use a batch script in Windows command prompt (console) to start ruby
scripts, when capture the active window using screen_capture("test.jpg",
true), it will capture the console window rather than the Internet
Explorer, how to make IE as active window and bring it forward by
watir/ruby script?

 

Regards,

Jason

[Wtr-general] Alert popups,

[Naga Harish Kanegolla]

Hi all, 
  Now i am able to click on the alert popup with watir, i followed the code 
form the FAQ's but later i copied the whole code into another machine, i am 
able to run all the test cases except the alert popup, that is not working in 
another machine, so wat mightbe the problem?? Its giving an error "timed out"
This is my code,

require 'watir\contrib\enabled_popup' 
#
def startClicker( button , waitTime= 9, user_input=nil )
  # get a handle if one exists
  hwnd = $ie.enabled_popup(waitTime)  
  if (hwnd)  # yes there is a popup
w = WinClicker.new
if ( user_input ) 
  w.setTextValueForFileNameField( hwnd, "#{user_input}" )
end
# I put this in to see the text being input it is not necessary to work
sleep 3 
# "OK" or whatever the name on the button is
w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd( hwnd, "#{button}" )
#
# this is just cleanup
w=nil
  end
end
#
# MAIN APPLICATION CODE
#
$ie = Watir::IE.start( "c:\test.htm" )

# This is whatever object that uses the click method.  
# You MUST use the click_no_wait method.
$ie.image( :id, '3' ).click_no_wait
#
# 3rd parameter is optional and is used for input and file dialog boxes.
startClicker( @button, 7 , "User Input" )

Thanks in Advance,
Harish

Re: [Wtr-general] problem in clicking button

[Prema Arya]

Hi Vikash,

Sorry, I tested the code with the new version that I am working on.
We will be releasing the next version, around next week-end.
For now you can copy (replace) the files I have attached,  in the firewatir
directory.
The path is normally like "C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\firewatir-
1.0.1-mswin32"

Hope this wil lresolve the problem, untill next week.

Reagrds,
Prema

2)Install Watir 1.4.1 using the one click installer .

when you are installing the watir 1.5.1.1158, watir 1.4.1 is not required. You 
can uninstall it. Just download the latest watir Gem and follow the steps 
provided with it and install according to it. I hope this helps.

Re: [Wtr-general] win32/process question

[Paul Rogers]

if you make you jclicker.rb write a file or something in the loop, then when 
you run it as a process, you should see the extra files get created.

The problem may also be something to do with the stdout and stderr of ruby when 
running as a process.

I tried using the process for a different purpose to you, and gave up. 

console windows may look ugly, but they make it easy to see what the problems 
are...

[Wtr-general] win32/process question

[matt]

I'm having problems with the win32/process Process.create() method.  The 
following link is very useful...

http://textsnippets.com/posts/show/829

The issue, I think, is with finding the file to launch with the 
Process.create() method.  

[jclicker.rb]
require "watir"

# Auto Popup Handler. Posted by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#
require 'win32ole'  # already included if you use 'require watir'

begin
autoit = WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control')
loop do
autoit.ControlClick("Microsoft Internet Explorer",'', 'OK')
autoit.ControlClick("Security Information",'', '&Yes')
autoit.ControlClick("Security Alert",'', '&Yes')
sleep(5)
end
   
rescue Exception => e
puts e
end


If I run this script directly 'ruby jclicker.rb', then any javascript popup 
windows will "magically" click away.  It works really cool!  However, if I use 
the win32/process library to create a process while running a test, then the 
popup handler doesn't run.

[runtest.rb]
require 'win32/process'
$pid = Process.create(
:app_name => 'ruby jclicker.rb',
:creation_flags  => Process::DETACHED_PROCESS
).process_id
at_exit{ Process.kill(9,$pid) }

class TC_NewTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

...

end


It's as if the process is not getting created.  The jclicker.rb script is in 
the same directory as the test program.  But, the clicker doesn't run.  Any 
hints are greatly appreciated.

Re: [Wtr-general] Can we use as many variable names without worrying about memory wastage

[Charley Baker]

You shouldn't have to invoke the garbage collector manually as it runs
automatically, most often when ruby is allocating memory and it's internal
memory tracker says there isn't any available or if allocating memory fails.

Hi,

I am unsure why IE is a nested class of the module watir

I was thinking of creating this object hierarchy

IE

Inheriting the IE class from the ObjectMap class.

Also, if you are unsure how to address a particular page element, take
a look at the "unittests" folder in the watir directory.  It will be
in C:/ruby/lib/ruby... somewhere, depending on whether you did a gem
install or used the one-click installer.

Sorry, probably my fault for not being clear about how new I am to this.

I want the code to do the following things:

2. If link not there, press "Next page"
3. If link there, click on it.
4. When next page reached (if step 2 followed), repeat the action of looking

Am playing around with code, and have come up with following:

link = ie.link(:url, "http://www.freeuk.com";)
until link.exists
ie.goto("http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=freeuk&hl=en&start=10&sa=N";)

if link.exists = true

It'd be easier to help if you would post a) the HTML involved and b)

Hey, Able to drag the code up to here.

rects = ole_object.getClientRects().item
x = rects.left
y = rects.top
width = rects.right - rects.left

x = WIN32OLE::ARGV[0]
y = WIN32OLE::ARGV[1]
puts "AFTER  #{x} #{y} #{width} #{height} "
end 

GetClientRects method returns the valid values.
But when I make a call to ClientToWindow call its returning inaccurate values. 
If possbile somebody look into this code. BTW This function goes in to Element

[Wtr-general] How to check for the presence of a frame in a page?

[vijay]

Hello people,

Our application has got several frames.  The controls need to be accesses 
through these frames like 
'$ie.frame('Detail').link(:text,'Disclosure').click'.  Before certain 
statements of this type, I want to check whether the particular frame is 
present in the current page or not.  How do I do that?  The '.exists?' method 
does not seem to work for a frame.  If we check a frame, which is not present 
in the current page,  through the '.exists?' method, Watir throws an exception 
saying "Unable to locate the given frame".

Thanks for your time,
