Indeed. Watir's strength for us was that we couldn't afford a huge application and all the time and training that entails, and Watir allowed us to put together a pretty comprehensive set of tests for our few websites.
Creating a general-purpose framework would probably make it as complex as just using native watir/ruby anyway! It's bad enough with the number of tricks I have to play with my simple "Login()" function to cater for the places where it uses fields called "username", "usrname" or "user" for the same thing. In which case it soon becomes easier and clearer to just use ie.text_field(:name, "username").set("myuser") ie.text_field(:name, "password").set("mypass") ie.button(:name, "submit").click --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=6532&messageID=18986#18986 _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
