Re: [Wtr-general] A query on Watir - Will watir/firewatir work on Linux?
2. Is Firewatir completely operational like Watir? (though, I could see that firewatir is being used currently, I just wants a confirmation from the appropriate persons) In a sense. Think of it like this: Watir is a set of instructions in Ruby for manipulating Windows OLE and COM interfaces. FireWatir removes the OLE/COM stuff and replaces it with the jssh (javascript shell) Firefox extension. SafariWatir removes the OLE/COM stuff and replaces it with Applescript. In practice, this means that some methods available on one platform won't be available on another platform. Also, since these are all separate projects started at different times and growing at different rates, some features that might be shared, won't be shared. For instance, Watir has a built-in page-load timer, but FireWatir does not. These feature-mismatches are something that Bret, Angrez, and others would like to improve. If you were to use Watir and FireWatir in a serious manner and report discrepancies between them here and on OpenQA/Rubyforge, that would be a big incentive to make the projects share more code and more features. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Script failing today, but worked yesterday?
So, this shows that we've outgrown the current script and need something more robust (probably proper parsing through REXML), and that when you least expect it, consultants will throw a few landmines under your scooter. I'd like to underscore this point: IF YOU HAVE XML, USE AN XML PARSER TO DEAL WITH IT. I rarely shout, but using split() and gsub() and other string-manipulation tools to handle XML will always go wrong eventually. Probably in a very expensive way, as this example shows. Take the time to learn REXML, it will save you immense trouble later. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

Re: [Wtr-general] fireWatir guess. Re: how to manipulate this?
Could you say more words about what you are suggesting. Quoting from the Selenium reference: storeText ( locator, variableName ) Gets the text of an element. This works for any element that contains text. This command uses either the textContent (Mozilla-like browsers) or the innerText (IE-like browsers) of the element, which is the rendered text shown to the user. So I'm guessing that since we can manipulate innerText with IE/Watir, I'll be we can manipulate textContent with fireWatir. So it might make sense to abstract both commands into a munge_text_directly method. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] fireWatir guess. Re: how to manipulate this?
Neither Watir nor Selenium nor FireWatir currently provides commands for munging text directly. To me this sounds like something that is outside the scope of a testing tool. Can you elaborate on the scenario that makes you want to do this? Is it testing related? Yes, it's testing. My particular application has a wysiwyg page-editing feature that I would like to manipulate for testing purposes. The mechanism by which the page is edited is direct manipulation of innerText. The Google Blogspot wysiwyg editor works the same way, I'm pretty sure, and I'll bet other wikiesque wysiwyg editors do, also. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

[Wtr-general] Watir/FireWatir merge/refactoring suggestion: down_load_time
I had occasion today to measure page load times in anger using FireWatir. I don't have a regular Watir installation handy, but I know Watir tracks the latest page load times in a variable called down_load_time or download_time or something similar. FireWatir doesn't have this feature. I used the venerable wrap-a-timer-around-the-click technique stolen from Mike Kelly, which is pretty painless, but it made me think. I'd like to make two suggestions: first, that the value be renamed page_load_time instead of down_load_time, because page loads and downloads are different things. Second, that this value be added to FireWatir at the same time that it's refactored in Watir. And, it would be really nifty if Watir and FireWatir could actually share the same physical code files, such that a change to the function of page_load_time would be instantly available to both platforms. It seems to me that this would be a good spike to explore merging the shared code between the two platforms. I could, of course, be wrong, but I thought making the suggestion was worthwhile. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

The early Watir community insisted that everyone, particularly beginners, be treated with respect and courtesy. Many, if not most, of the Watir community are not expert programmers. If the project is going to continue, and continue to be successful, two things have to happen: beginners must continue to be treated with respect and courtesy; and as people get more experience with Watir and Ruby, they have to be encouraged in turn to help out where they can contribute. Mostly this means answering questions on the list: if you see a question you can answer, please do so.

I now have a new job and have been preoccupied by the change in jobs lately: with wrapping up affairs at my old job at DataCert, with a job search, and then with starting at Dovetail, where they had built up a bit of a backlog of work for me which I've finally dug out from. Dovetail has made a big commitment to Watir: to using it to test our software, to supporting enhancements that we will be using, and even to giving me time to attend to the necessary affairs in running an open-source project. In fact, Dovetail intends to ship our testing framework and our tests themselves to our customers. This means that our tests will need to be good: be easy to understand, extend, run and interpret. I am very excited by the opportunity. Watir 1.5 is getting very close to being done. As soon as it looks like we've fixed all the serious compatability bugs with Watir 1.4, we will be posting the 1.5 gem to Rubyforge. This means that it will become the default gem that will be installed when you do a gem install watir. Originally I wanted to wait until we got the documentation for 1.5 updated, but now now i think that can wait for a later point release (say 1.5.3). Charley tells me that many of the questions on the wtr-general list regard problems that would be solved by moving to 1.5, so it really will help to move there. By the way, Charley has also been rather busy lately, partly because people keep hiring his Watir testers away from him. So if you are one of these people, stop it. It only hurts Watir, in the end, by forcing him to spend all his time on his day job. Jeff Fry is threatening to help out with the Rdoc and Zeljko has agreed to take the lead with updating the users guide. Please cooperate with any requests that they make. Many of you have noticed that FireWatir is looking very good. SafariWatir is also looking good. The number one goal that I have for Watir is pull together these different forks of Watir. In my view they should all be part of one library, or perhaps each will be a plug in to a standard library, much as, say the Ruby DBI library supports plug ins for each of the different types of databases. In our case, we'd have separate plug ins for each browser. This means supporting multiple browsers and making Watir work on multiple platforms. The importance and complexity of this goal is part of what is urging me to wrap up Watir 1.5. We are targeting Watir 2.0 to include plugins for each of the main browsers. I also plan to continue working on a Selenium plugin to Watir. This would allow existing Watir tests to run tests using any browser when connecting to a Selenium-enabled server. This, like all the browsers, will be optional; so if Selenium scares you, you will be able to continue to use Watir the old-fashioned way. In preparation for this, Watir 1.6 will begin the restructuring of the existing code base to support plugins and remove the code duplication that currently exists in the different forks. This will require reorganizing the code files, and therefore we will want to merge all patches before this reorg starts. We will also be taking this occassion to make many changes to Watir that we've been considering for some time, but have put off because of concerns about backwards compatibility. We have attempted to make upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5 extremely easy. Upgrading to 1.6 will be more difficult. In particular, we will be converting Watir to use zero-based indexing in 1.6. Another key element to getting Watir 1.5 out is updating our website. We will be publishing a new, detailed, multi-page website aimed at our general user community. This website will be hosted at wtr.rubyforge.org and will include current information about the various releases and how to install them and where the mailing lists are. And we'll be keeping it up to date, as we move forward with this plan. We will continue to use the wiki at OpenQA for the active user community and there will be several links from the general website into the wiki. We have had a lot trouble keeping the various pages on the OpenQA website updated and accurate and will be replacing them with pointers either to the website or to the wiki. I realize that the current arrangement is very confusing and appreciate your patience. The Jira roadmap more or less lays out the next few steps in our plan. We will be updating it shortly to better match up to the plan I lay out here. If you have bugs you want fixed or features you want added, please make sure there is an open Jira ticket for them.

Watir Result is like this: Do you want to continue. \n Click on continue Button. expected but was Do you want to continue. \r\n Click on continue Button? So that \r\n means carriage return -- line feed, and it has a long history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage_return What's bad in your situation is that Ruby (and Perl and many other languages) usually interprets \n to be the carriage-return-line-feed on whatever platform Ruby is installed on. But test/unit is not doing that in your case. If it were me, I would use assert_match and a regular expression, like this: require 'test/unit' class TC_Spike Test::Unit::TestCase def test_crlf data = first line second line assert_match(/first line\s+second line/,data) end end ### change the regexp to see it fail first line\nsecond line expected to be =~ /first line\w+second line/. ___ Wtr-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

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

Re: [Wtr-general] Watir can't find IEnum interface
I run Brad's code with no problem (thanks for the example!).
Googling, I find that IEnum interface is an error coming from Ruby's
WIN32OLE library. The root cause seems to be some kind of error in
the interface between Ruby and Windows on the particular machine.
One very suggestive issue is that Kevin Rutherford's error said
failed and not Failed, and this site
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/3213
suggests that Rutherford has a Ruby WIN32OLE library from 2004 or
earlier.
Based on what we've learned so far, I'll suggest that either the Ruby
installation is flawed, or Windows itself on these particular machines
has a flawed OLE of some sort.
Without more information, my best suggestion is to uninstall and
reinstall Ruby, then re-install Watir on top of the new Ruby. Make
sure you're using the Ruby one-click installer.

On a normal connection with Basic Auth, the browser will allow access to every link and frame accessible once you've logged in one time. However, if you pass Basic Auth headers on the Watir goto() method, the browser only allows you access to a single page, and the links and frames on the page are still not accessible.

One major drawback for this is that it won't work out of the box for
values like calc([0.1,0.1,0.8]) That is, call def a 10% of the time,
def b 10% of the time, def c 80% of the time. It seems input values
have to be unique.

It seems input values have to be unique. Here's something that does the job, but I can't help thinking that if I had more CS background, it could be a lot more elegant. Seems like a classic recursion problem: a=20 b=20 c=10 d=0 e=40 f=10 a_range = [1..a] b_range = [(a+1)..(b+a)] c_range = [(a+b+1)..(a+b+c)] d_range = [(a+b+c+1)..(a+b+c+d)] e_range = [(a+b+c+d+1)..(a+b+c+d+e)] f_range = [(a+b+c+d+e+1)..(a+b+c+d+e+f)] puts a_range puts b_range puts c_range puts d_range puts e_range puts f_range ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
