I played around with win32-utils code, but I was getting odd results.
(It appeared that the fork() was really exec()ing the program in a
subprocess, rather than continuing the subprogram from the point of
the fork.) So I went back to popen.
I ran into a further problem. One button press would generate two
confirmation dialogs, one after the other, without control returning
to Watir between them. So I needed to invent some new syntax. I'm not
wildly fond of it, but it works. It looks like this:
$ie.after {
button(:name, "action").click
}.dismiss_windows(
"Choose a digital certificate" => ["{Tab}", "{Space}"],
"Signing" => ["{Space}"]
)
Code below. I should write tests for it. Realistically, though, I
won't have time to be a good submitter for the near future. I have to
learn both Rails and Selenium next week for a different client, and
I'll be going flat out for at least all of June.
This code should probably invoke the watcher scripts using ruby -S.
Right now, it assumes the watcher script is in the same directory as
the test, which is sloppy.
=======================
class IE
def after(&block)
@block = block
self
end
def grab_window(window_title)
@window_title = window_title
self
end
def and_send(*keys)
launch_watcher(@window_title, keys)
continue_script(@block)
end
def dismiss_windows(hash)
hash.each do | title, keys |
launch_watcher(title, keys)
end
continue_script(@block)
end
private
def launch_watcher(window_title, keys)
commandline = ["/ruby/bin/ruby",
"watcher-popen.rb",
"'" + window_title + "'"] +
keys
IO.popen(commandline.join(' '))
end
def continue_script(block)
instance_eval(&block) if block
end
end
==== watcher.rb =====
require 'watir'
# Do this in JMock style, just because DSLs are all the rage.
class Watcher
private_class_method :new
def self.after_seeing(title)
new(title)
end
def initialize(title)
@autoit = Watir.autoit
@title = title
end
def send(keys)
@keys = keys
do_await_window
do_send_keys
self
end
private
def do_await_window
@autoit.WinWait @title, ""
end
def do_send_keys
@keys.each do | key |
sleep 1 # Just to watch it happen.
@autoit.Send key
end
end
end
if $0 == __FILE__
title = ARGV[0]
keys = ARGV[1..-1]
# $stderr.puts title, keys.inspect; $stderr.flush
Watcher.after_seeing(title).send(keys)
end
