I've committed the initial version of new code for supporting popup dialogs.
Using this code:
- You don't have to use separate 'mini-scripts.'
- You don't have to spawn a process.
- You don't have to spawn a thread.
This is all done for you behind the scenes.
You use it like this:
require 'watir/dialog'
$ie.remote_eval <<-END
button(:value, 'whatever').click
END
dialog.button('OK').click
Note that remote_eval takes a string argument. This is the same:
ie.remote_eval "button(:value, 'whatever').click"
The code in the string is evaluated in the context of an equivalent IE
object in an independent process.
See dialog_tests.rb for more examples.
I am very interested in getting feedback on the names of the interface for
this functionality: "remote_eval", "dialog", etc
Get the development tarball:
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/watir/watir.tar.gz?tarball=1&cvsroot=wtr
This code currently supports simple dialogs. Next is to add support for the
authorization dialogs -- a frequently requested thing. I really would like
to have unit tests for this, which means i need a quick server that does
authorization. Anyone know how to roll one with webrick?
