Pls be patient. I just d/l'd Watir and am just starting... I used this .rb from the tutorial of Watir ---------snippet start------------------ require 'watir' # the watir controller
# set a variable test_site = 'http://www.google.com' # open the IE browser ie = Watir::IE.new # print some comments puts "## Beginning of test: Google search" puts " " puts "Step 1: go to the test site: " + test_site ie.goto(test_site) puts " Action: entered " + test_site + " in the address bar." puts "Step 2: enter 'pickaxe' in the search text field" ie.text_field(:name, "q").set("Beer + Bottle + Label") # q is the name of the search field puts " Action: entered pickaxe in the search field" puts "Step 3: click the 'Google Search' button" ie.button(:name, "btnG").click # "btnG" is the name of the Search button puts " Action: clicked the Google Search button." puts "Expected Result: " puts " - a Google page with results should be shown. 'Programming Ruby' should be high on the list." puts "Actual Result: Check that the 'Programming Ruby' link appears on the results page " if ie.contains_text("Programming Ruby") puts "Test Passed. Found the test string: 'Programming Ruby'. Actual Results match Expected Results." else puts "Test Failed! Could not find: 'Programming Ruby'" end puts " " puts "## End of test: Google search" ----------end snippet-------------- It opens the window and performs the search. NOW...How do I save the text of the results to a file? I will eventually want to save the results to a MySQL tble, but I'm trying baby steps to learn the syntax.
