This block of code does not play nicely when User Account Control (UAC) is
turned on.
shell = WIN32OLE.new('Shell.Application')
shell.Windows.each do |window|
...
end
When I turn off UAC, all Watir unit tests (except one) run correctly,
regardless of whether I am running as Administrator.
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir'
Watir::Browser.default = 'ie'
# Open a bunch of windows
[
'http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/',
'http://watir.com/',
'http://google.com',
].each do |url| Watir::Browser.start(url) end
# Enumerate the windows. This is a stripped-down version of
# the loop that is eventually called by Watir::IE#attach.
#
# The expectation is that every one of the pages we just opened
# will show up in this list, each in a separate window.
#
# What actually happens depends at least on OS version, User Account Control
# settings, and whether the script is being run from an Administrator
# command prompt.
#
# OS = XP all windows are enumerated
# OS = Vista probably the same as Windows 7; untested (by me)
# OS = Windows 7
# UAC off all windows are enumerated
# UAC on, not running as Admin all windows are enumerated
# UAC on, running as Admin only the first window is enumerated
#
Watir::IE.each do |ie|
window = ie.ie
puts "#{window.locationURL} #{window.locationName}"
end
puts
# Watir::IE.each is looking for 'Internet Explorer' as part of the
# window path, so let's enumerate those.
#
puts '----------------'
shell = WIN32OLE.new('Shell.Application')
shellWindows = shell.Windows
puts "window count = #{shellWindows.count}"
shell.Windows.each do |window|
puts "#{window.hwnd} #{window.path}" rescue false
end
puts
