[wtr-general] Webdriver : when i have to grab the id using pattern match it fails for firefox
Hi,
I have to grab id's for some of the fileds by pattern matching,
because these are dynamic.
so to collect the id's, i go to source of that page and grab the id
like :
$_ = $ie.html
if /.*dot.png.*#{fsname}/
printIDInfo("FS ID", $1)
This is what i matched from the source generated when IE is opened.
Now im using WEbdriver to drive the watir script.
If i use this routine and execute the script on IE, it works well.
but if i chnage my driver to firefox, then it fails.
It is generous that it will fail, because the source generated in
firefox is different then IE, what i pattern matched.
So how cna i overcome this problem for webdriver?
Such that i can grab the id's using patern match and thne execute the
script in IE and firefox both. Or even in Chrome.
Can someone help?

Yeah I agree RE non-hash return objects... I'l fire up a windows VM
this weekend and see if I can pinpoint what's being returned ... stay
tuned =)

Well, execute_script should already wrap instances of
Selenium::WebDriver::Element in Watir::Element, so I'm not sure how that is
happening.

I don't really see how the monkey patch would help (e.g. it would break any
script that doesn't return a Hash). Someone needs to get their hands on a
Windows box in order to solve this I think :)

[wtr-general] Re: Watir Webdriver Performance Error
I would gladly test this on a few platforms but my selection of handy
test VM's is greatly reduced these days as I am no longer working for
an MS gold level partner where I had a beefy Hyper-v server hosting a
wide variety of Win client and server OS's (all under MSDN licenses).
The current employer uses a Linux/Rails platform on the server side,
so my VM system are limited to client OS's needed to test the webUI.
So unfortunately I can't go back and try this on Server2003 using
latest webdriver, IE9 etc.
I did look at it on Win7 with current versions of Webdriver and IE9
and got the same error as the OP, so I can assure you the current
behavior he's seeing is not limited to the server OS being used.
(although there is a fair bit of shared shell code between 2008 and
Win7)
If there's anything more I can do to help, let me know

[wtr-general] Re: automate text in Frames Watir with HTML Document
look at the code carefully in the developer tools and make sure you
don't have nested frames.
In yoursecond posting with the larger code sample it looked like there
are at least two levels of frame nesting.. possibly you need to be
working with the inner one (not being able to see the actual site, and
view the HTML in a proper editor makes it hard to know for sure
exactly which element in the code you gave is the actual editor
window.
You might need to be doing something along the lines of
browser.frame(:id => 'englishDescEditor').tframe.etc
The exact code you say you are trying would only work if the frame in
your app had the title you are specifying, In your code sample I
don't find that anywhere other than in a span, so the not able to
locate error makes complete sense. you'd need to adapt the code that
works on the sample site to fit your site which has different
identifiers, titles, id's etc. .

[wtr-general] Re: automate text in Frames Watir with HTML Document
Hello Chuck
When i comment the line with the script, then send_keys is the
problem, the thing is i am setting the same to test the CKEditor page,
and it works ok.
I think the problem is the way i am assigning the frame,
code:
@browser.frame(:title => 'Rich text editor, ckeditor1, press ALT 0
for help.').send_keys("hello world again")
error:
unable to locate frame/iframe using {:title=>"Rich text editor,
ckeditor1, press ALT 0 for help."}
(Watir::Exception::UnknownFrameException)
What I can tell you is that my Frames are inside a Form, and in every
frame i have my CKEditor (one in each frame).
Thank you, if you need some aditional information just let me know.
