Subject: [Wtr-general] Controlling threads testing speed
What tricks are available for timing threads and controlling
the speed of WATIR? How can we make sure a thread has ended?
The basic concern is that the WATIR script will work, then it
may not work, and

I think file fields are treated as a different type of object than text
fields.
But you should be able toset file fields using 'fileField'...here's
an example from the "filefield_test.rb" WATIR unit test:
$ie.fileField(:name,"file1").set($htmlRoot +
"fileupload.html")

Are you using Test::Unit::Reporter? It could be useful to put
together a small demo script that will demonstrate the problem.
So it sounds like you have a test that is expected to fail, and it's
not failing? (Or is it that the script is behaving properly, but the

Here are some other suggestions:
1) Perhaps try adding messages to your asserts. If you just want some
extra logging when failures occur, this may be all you need to do.
All the assert methods I've seen support this; just add the message as
the last arg you pass to the assert call.

I don't think Watir (1.4.1, at least) has built-in support for the th tag.
But if you know the index of that span in the document, you can get
to it using $ie.span(:index, theIndex)
Otherwise, if you really need to interact with the TH itself, you may
need to use Watir 1.5.x and its new XPath
Whoops, my verify example was meant to be more like this:
test_testMethodFoo
result = $ie.link(:text, nameOfLink).exists?
verify(result)
puts Test is still executing...
if !result
do_some_extra_stuff()
end

As for trying out FireWatir, you can get a prebuilt copy of the JSSh

Someone posted a Ruby snippet here which will clear the IE cache:

I've used it from time to time and it seems to work fine. It uses

On 3/5/07,
One bare-bones solution for this problem is to use the Ruby gserver library to
start your tests - see the code snippets in this post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general@rubyforge.org/msg07247.html
The idea is to leave a little Ruby script listening on the test client, and

I posted my zipped rails app as an attachment on the Watir contributions page:

In my haste to reply I lost track of the fact that you already had something
similar working, except for the issue with the goto method not working
The way I solved this back when I was using the rails app was:
- I put all my library files into a common dir
- I added a line of code to each test script that allows it to find and add the
lib dir to $LOAD_PATH
For this I use the same idiom from some of the Watir unit test files (in this
The version of the runner app I posted doesn't check to see if a script is
already running before it executes a new one. But that would definitely be
necessary if more than one person is likely to try to run a Watir script at the
same time.
Some solutions I considered were to use a lock
For a quick fix, try adding this to the top of your
c:/runner/data/suites/project/test.rb file (before any require statements):
$LOAD_PATH.unshift c:/runner/data/suites/ if $0 == __FILE__
That way when test.rb is executed, the suites dir will be added to $LOAD_PATH,
and require 'library'

For a quick demo just copy/paste the whole thing into a file, name it
del_cache.rb, and run it. It always worked fine for me on XP SP2.

When I needed to use that snippet, I just left the whole thing in a
separate file, and initiated the cache/cookie cleanup with
system('ruby del_cache.rb')
You could also probably paste the whole blob of code into a new method
and it should work.
It would be possible to do the same work in fewer

I think I understand what is happening now. It is buffering. I did not

I noticed the line:

clickLinks expects?
Also, maybe check to see if test_clickLinks is running before

If you mean the __FILE__ variable, it is a pseudo variable that
contains the current source file name. So it will work even when used
as the first line of a script.
It's really useful in cases like this, where you need to dynamically
add dir names to the load path before you try to require other
