I'm attempting to use Watir to test a site developed on GWT. All
elements of the page are drawn by GWT and hence it relies very heavily
on Ajax.
I have managed to click most elements,but there is a GWT tree widget
(which is basically a table with many nested divs) that simply won't
respond.
I am able to locate the element I wish to click without issue. I've
tried it by :id, and :xpath and I know I am arriving at the correct
element. I've also confirmed with WatirMaker.rb that the element is
what I think it is.
I've tried three ways of clicking on it -
browser.div(:xpath, "//d...@id='DEVICES_GATEWAY']/div").click
browser.div(:xpath, "//d...@id='DEVICES_GATEWAY']/
div").fire_event('onclick')
and a hack that worked elsewhere -
browser.div(:xpath, "//d...@id='DEVICES_GATEWAY']/
div").fire_event("onmouseover")
browser.div(:xpath, "//d...@id='DEVICES_GATEWAY']/
div").fire_event("onmousedown")
browser.div(:xpath, "//d...@id='DEVICES_GATEWAY']/
div").fire_event("onmouseup")
However, none of these produce the click and there is no error
reported. I just fails silently.
Other divs on the site can be clicked. Some using just .click and some
using the fire_events hack above.
I'm totally stumped.
I am using Windows 7 and IE 8.
This tree widget is a significant UI element, so if I can't drive it I
think I'm sunk. (No pun intended.)
