Hi,
I am currently testing a web app that depends on some sort of
webservice to be running in the background and i find the web service
goes into an unavailable state frequent, so i thought it was best i
use watir page checkers so that as soon as the page under test is
loaded, i can check for either 4xx or 5xx errors and the test should
just stop and not continue.
This is what i have done
def navigate(page_name)
begin
browser.goto("http://www.xxxxxx.com";)
browser.check_for_http_error # will throw Exception
end
rescue Watir::Exception::NavigationException => e #catch the
Exception
puts "Page did not load: #{e}" # => 'Cannot find server or DNS
Error'
end
I have a test structured in way that
1. The navigate method is called
2. Then some other checks is done on the page
What i expect is that the tests should terminate at line 1 , and give
an error message 'Cannot find server or DNS Error'
But this doesnt work, the test continue to line 2 to do some
assertions which then fails but i would love to be able to catch the
error at line 1.
I have also tried
def navigate(page_name)
browser.add_checker(PageCheckers::NAVIGATION_CHECKER)
begin
browser.goto("http://www.xxxxxx.com";)
end
rescue Watir::Exception::NavigationException => e #catch the
Exception
puts "Page did not load: #{e}" # => 'Cannot find server or DNS
Error'
end
And i also tried excuting the code in irb, it prints "false" to
screen, I would appreciate any help
