Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce that Watir 3 has been finally released!
Its biggest goal is to conform even better with WatirSpec making it more compliant with Watir-WebDriver. Changelog is quite long, but reading it makes your life easier: * Browser#status returns an empty string if status bar is disabled in IE9 * Browser#style fixed for IE9 * #execute_script evaluates JavaScript code inside of an anonymous function - use "return" statement if value is needed by Ruby * #execute_script returns nil instead of 'undefined' * drag and drop fixed for IE9 * Window#current? and Window#== are more robust * all html elements are now supported (even html5 ones) * CookieManager removed * cookies API support added ( https://github.com/watir/watirspec/blob/master/cookies_spec.rb) * drag and drop API support added ( https://github.com/watir/watirspec/blob/master/drag_and_drop_spec.rb) * Element#(before|after)? removed * Element#(before|after)_text removed * Browser#cell(s) and Browser#row(s) removed * Browser#Element camelCase methods removed, use under_score methods instead * Browser#element(s) supports only general attributes like :id, :title, :class_name, :text, :html and such * Browser#modal_dialog improved * Browser#send_keys and Element#send_keys have now same syntax as specified in WatirSpec * Element#style returns internal styles only for IE9, inline style will be returned for IE8 * Table#each removed - use Table#(trs|rows).each instead * Table#row(s) and Table#cell(s) added which ignore inner tables - use #td/#tr for all. * raise an Exception if more locators are specified with :xpath/:css * searching by :xpath and :css code rewritten * Browser#textarea(s) method for searching <textarea> elements * Element#focus works with IE9 * Element#focused? returns the state of focus on that element * Element#to_subtype returns Element if non-supported tag found instead of crashing * searching by :class will match now partially like other tools behave (e.g. jQuery) * 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 by executing: gem install watir Check out more from http://watir.com and http://github.com/watir/watir With Best Regards, Jarmo Pertman
