[Wtr-general] Undefined Method Error

Hello,

Im running into a problem I think is a probably a programming error in my part.

Here is what Im trying to accomplish: I have script with 2800 lines of code. My test cases in the script have many repeatable steps. For each test case, Im basically coding the same steps over an over again and thus I get hundreds of lines of code.

My first inclination was to break out the test and make them into separate files so that the script is not so big and less error prone. But I would be doing the same thing as I was doing earlier except now I would have to maintain many files rather one.

So what I want to do is create a method that contains the repeatable steps that are used in every test case and call the method when I need to execute the steps. The method would live in separate file. Sounds easy, right? Well, when I try to a get this error:

1) Error:

test_steps(AccountManagementSteps):

NoMethodError: undefined method `link' for nil:NilClass

./negative_tierI_steps.rb:37:in `test_steps'

2) Error:

ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)

C:/automation/src/thdf/projects/core/testharness/fixtures/admin_administration/tc_tierI_negative_tests.rb:67:in `initialize'

C:/automation/src/thdf/projects/core/testharness/fixtures/admin_administration/tc_tierI_negative_tests.rb:67:in `new'

C:/automation/src/thdf/projects/core/testharness/fixtures/admin_administration/tc_tierI_negative_tests.rb:67:in `test_01_account_management'

Here is the code. The method Im calling is called AccountManagementSteps. Require 'setup' halls my require statements including so I know the script has the proper require statements. require 'negative_tierI_steps.rb' contains the steps that are given me the problem.

require 'setup'

require 'negative_tierI_steps.rb'

TOPDIR = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..')

$LOAD_PATH.unshift TOPDIR

class TC_Negative < Test::Unit::TestCase

def test_01_account_management

puts ''; puts '';

puts "############ Starting Test Class: TC_tierI_negative_tests ############";

puts ''

puts 'Executing test 01 - Account Management Access'

puts ''

@login = Login.new($user, $password, $url, $submit_key);

# create a random Admin user name

@random_name = UserRandomName.new();

$username = @random_name.User();

# Create a new Admin User

@admin_user = CreateUser.new($username);

# Verify that user was created

assert($ie.contains_text($save_msg));

@login.logout("admin");

assert($ie.contains_text($logoff_msg));

@login.shutdown();

# Login as superuser

@login = Login.new($user, $password, $url, $submit_key);

@group_details = 0

set_group = SetPermission.new()

set_group.fSteps(@group_details);

assert($ie.contains_text($save_msg));

@login.logout("admin");

assert($ie.contains_text($logoff_msg));

@login.shutdown();

! @login = Login.new($username, $password, $url, $submit_key);

@steps = AccountManagementSteps.new()

@steps.test_steps()

end

This is the code in the method Im calling.

require 'setup'

require 'watir'

require 'test/unit'

require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'

require 'watir/testUnitAddons'

class AccountManagementSteps < Test::Unit::TestCase

def initialize()

end

$ie.link(:text, "Jackpot Details").click();

sleep 1

!

assert($ie.contains_text($no_permission_msg))

$ie.link(:text, "Jackpot Adjustments").click();

$ie.text_field(:name, "AdjustAmt").set("1000")

$ie.text_field(:name, "ReasonText").set("This is a test")

table = $ie.table(:index, 19)

sleep 1

table[1][3].image(:name, "createbottom").click

assert($ie.contains_text($no_permission_msg))

!

$ie.link(:text, "Settings").click();

end
end

Any ideas?

Thanks

David
