Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce that Watir isn't dead at all, since yet another version of Watir has been just released - 3.0.rc1.
Its biggest goal is to conform even better with WatirSpec making it more compliant with Watir-WebDriver. Changelog: * Button#text returns value if exists instead of text * Browser#goto prepends url automatically with http:// if scheme is missing * Browser#element(s)_by_(xpath/css) are now private methods - use #element(:css => ...) and #element(:xpath => ...) instead * Browser#label supports searching by :for attribute * Browser#options method for searching <option> elements * Browser#body, #thead, #tfoot, #tbody, #frameset and #fieldset added * Browser#window and Browser#windows added implementing window switching API (https://github.com/jarib/watirspec/blob/master/window_switching_spec.rb ) * Element#present? returns false if exception is thrown by #exists? or #visible? * Element#style returns CSS text instead of OLE object * Element#text returns an empty string for non-visible elements * Element#parent returns correct instance of Element class (e.g. Div instead of Element) * Element#focus focuses document before focusing on the element * Element#right_click and Element#double_click added * Element#to_subtype added which returns specific instance of Watir::Element subclass * Element#send_keys added * Element#eql? as an alias for Element#== added * Element#tag_name added * ElementCollection#[] method supports negative indexes like regular Arrays * ElementCollection#[] returns always an object, even if the index is out of bounds * FileField#set and Image#save uses correct Windows file path (e.g. convert "\"-es into "/"-es) * FileField#set raises Errno::ENOENT instead of WatirException if file doesn't exist * FileField#value= as an alias for FileField#set added * Font#color, #face and #size added * Form#submit triggers onSubmit event and doesn't submit the form if event's callback returns false * Frame#execute_script added * Image#file_size, #height and #width return integer instead of a string * Image#save blocking fixed * Meta#content and #http_equiv added * Option code rewritten, causing changes in its API * SelectList code rewritten, causing changes in its API * SelectList#(selected_)options returns now Options collection instead of an array of strings * Table and its subelements code rewritten, causing changes in its API * Table#strings and #hashes added * TextField#label added * searching elements will find only correct types - e.g. using Browser#div returns only DIV element even if all other provided selectors match * all selectors and tag of the element needs to match even if searching by :id * supporting html5 data-* attributes by using :data_* for locating and #data_* for retrieving attribute values * many other internal changes Please try it out before final release of 3.0 by executing: gem install watir --pre With Best Regards, Jarmo Pertman
