Re: [Wtr-general] Question about IE.new_process and Vista
So here is how I fixed my problem: 1. Goto the Control Panel 2. Click on User Accounts 3. Click on User Accounts again 4. Select the account you are using 5. Click "Turn User Account Control on or off" 6. Turn User Account Control off This allowed Shell.Application.Window to find the correct window when IE is created in a test. Hope that helps everyone else. I'll update the JIRA ticket as well. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

We've had a lot of vista-related complaints lately and this will surely help. Bret ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Question about IE.new_process and Vista
I thought the two problems are related because in neither instance was watir able to find the window after it was created (I didn't look into the specifics). I did look into it some more after this post and I found out that it was Vista's security settings that caused watir to break. Turning off these security settings fixed it. I don't remember the details right now but as soon as I get my vista box up and running again, I will update the JIRA ticket and this thread with the details. I'm back on my old machine now which is running XP. I'll switch back a little later in the day so I'll update in a few hours. ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

Re: [Wtr-general] Question about IE.new_process and Vista
Bret, the problem actually exists for IE.new as well. I create a new IE window with IE.new and it creates the window but when I call the goto method to navigate to any page, a new IE window shows up and the navigation is done in that window.

I've logged this as http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-156 I am in the process of migrating this functionality into core watir and would like to get problems like this fixed. I guess the next step is to figure out why the Shell.Application windows are not including any of the IE windows. That is definitely a problem, and, as stated, would be a core MS bug. The other possibility might be that it actually is showing up in this list, but there could be a flaw in the logic we are using to decide whether it is an IE window or not (there have been other flaws in the past).

[Wtr-general] Question about IE.new_process and Vista
I've installed watir 1165 and tried using IE.new_process on Windows Vista and in both tests and irb, IE.new_process fails. It fails after creating the window when it tries to get the process id from hwnd. I have a coworker who installed this on his Vista machine and it works fine. The problem is that Shell.Application.windows does not get all of the windows but just the ones that are browsing the file system so the IE windows do not show up in this list. It ends up doing in an infinite loop and never breaks out of it. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
