Re: [Wtr-general] general questions when trying Watir

[salamond]

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

 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?


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

)

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?


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 :

 a href=

 http://www.google.com; target=_blank.
 and ie is my current page driver.
 ie2= Watir::IE.attach(:url,'

 http://www.google.com' http://www.google.com%27)
 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

Disable all pop-up blockers that you have installed.

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.

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
