No.  The method accesses all elements in the document object model,
and in fact all the links in a page are included in its output.
They're the ones that look like this:

  name=   id=

Which is obviously not very helpful.  The problem is that
show_all_objects prints a specific list of properties that aren't good
for distinguishing links.

You could try hacking the method to show more properties, or something like:

ie.links.each do | link |
  puts "link text: #{link.text}\thref=#{link.href}"
end

Disable all pop-up blockers that you have installed.

Is Watir reading the html/view/source to generate the show_all_objects?


I do not use show_all_objects. As far as I understood, it's use is
discouraged. You should use Firebug for Firefox or Internet Explorer
Developer Toolbar. Inspecting HTML can help too.

Hi, zeljko.
Thanks for the reply.

is that what you mean about open a new window?
ie.link(:href, " http://www.google.com ").click
ie2=Watir::IE.attach(url, "http://www.google.com";)
then I can use ie2 to drive the new page?

But I find several problems when trying this.
1 ie.link(:href, " http://www.google.com ").click
A new popup window is blocked.
But when I click the link manually, it did open a new window for me.

2 ie2=Watir::IE.attach(:url, "http://www.google.com";)
seems it did attach to the window just opened.
But ie2.show_all_objects shows different with IE/view/source.
I can see a table with IE/view/source,
but ie2.show_all_objects didn't show any table.

3 Another question will be igoogle. I add several protelet on my page.
I can't find those links in show_all_objects, but I can use
ie.link(:text, "How to of the Day").click to click it.

Is Watir reading the html/view/source to generate the show_all_objects?


thanks

I use Firebug ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843) for
Firefox, but there is also Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar (

Yes. If you have a problem with something, let us know.

Q3: I can't have attach work properly for me.

if i got a link like this :

http://www.google.com"; target="_blank">.
and ie is my current page driver.
ie2= Watir::IE.attach(:url,'http://www.google.com' )
if i did this, will the link in ie be clicked and a new window generated?

Try this.


ie.link(:href, "http://www.google.com";).click

[Wtr-general] general questions when trying Watir

[salamond]

We are trying to find some tools to help us in web automation testing.

Selenium WET Watir are all reviewed.
Finally we choose Watir 'coz it's pure scriptable.
Using Selenium and WET will make our scripts highly rely on IDE,
which is not what we want to.

But there's several problems these days really puzzled me.
I tried to search the archive mail list. But didn't find anything useful.

Q1: how do you write your scripts?
If I want to set my username & passwd in a login form's text_field,
is there any other way except for dig into the html to see what the name of
text_filed is?

Q2: Working with Ajax sometimes, I can't even find the object in
VIEW/source.
does watir support Ajax testing? will it work with several web sites like
igoogle or liferay?

Q3: I can't have attach work properly for me.
if i got a link like this :

http://www.google.com"; target="_blank">.
and ie is my current page driver.
ie2= Watir::IE.attach(:url,'http://www.google.com')
if i did this, will the link in ie be clicked and a new window generated?

According to the User Guide, I think it should be the right way to work.
But i tried several times, it didn't work. seems it can't find the
object with url "www.google.com".
anybody know what's going wrong ?

thanks
