[wtr-general] Re: Using Watir to Click a Button that has OnClick attribute

[orde]

You should be able to use the fire_event method instead of the click 
method.  A generic example:

browser.button(:id => "foo").fire_event("onclick")

HIH.

[wtr-general] Re: watir help

[orde]

A couple of piggyback comments on the above.

a) first question about accessing elements in a frame:

browser.frame(:id, "foo").link(:href => /
productpref=catalog/).click# the example frame has no attributes,
so I guess you could use index...

b) lots of javascript in the second example, so you might need to
trigger the event:

browser.link(:id,
"foo").fire_event("onmouseover")#
mouseover is an example event handler

HIH.

[wtr-general] Re: Export entire html table to a text document

[orde]

Although it won't capture the HTML tags, you can dump the contents of
a table like this:

table_contents = browser.table(:id, 'foo').to_a

For writing to .txt file, check out the ruby File class:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/File.html

This is an example for writing the HTML for a page to a file:

browser.goto(test_site)
html = browser.html

f = File.new("txt.txt", "w+")
f.write(html)
f.close

Hope it helps.

I've seen this topic come up a few times in this forum (i.e.
automating yahoo email or gmail), and I'd advise finding another

frequently, so it's a serious challenge to maintain.

cents.

[wtr-general] Re: how to select a month/day into that calendar http://calendarview.org/

[orde]

Although I'm not using watir-webdriver, this works for me on
http://calendarview.org (using ruby 1.8.6 + watir 1.9.0 + IE8):

browser.div(:id, 'popupDateField').document.scrollintoview
browser.div(:id, 'popupDateField').click
puts browser.div(:class, "calendar popup").cell(:text,
"Today").exists? if true  # returns true

I don't know why you're getting the undefined method error since the
webdriver API contains a cell method.

The Today and arrow links are in cells.  Have you tried to click the
cell?  For example:

$browser.div(:id, "mac").div(:class, "calendar popup").cell(:text,
"Today").click

Can you do something like this?

topicContentFirstLine = @browser.frame(:index, 2).div(:id,
'topicText').text.first

or

topicContentFirstLine = @browser.frame(:id, 'foo').div(:id,
'topicText').text.first

Hope it helps.

I'd agree with the post above.  Unless you have some other compelling
reason, the approach above should be fine.

In any event, $1 is returning nil in this code snippet:

if //
  begin
ie.link(:class, $1).click
  rescue => e
rescueHandle(e)
   end
else
   puts $1 # nil

[wtr-general] Re: watir scripts in windows scheduled task

[orde]

I've used windows scheduler without any major hiccups.  There is a
thread in this forum that discusses scheduled watir scripts hanging
on .js popups:

http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general/browse_thread/thread/bde0ab5ef96408c2/d89d4ec8a790bc5a?lnk=gst&q=windows+scheduler#d89d4ec8a790bc5a

If the failing task deals with .js popups and the passing task
doesn't, that might be something to look at.

What exactly is happening?  Is an error thrown?

It's possible that the javascript needs to be triggered via a
fire_event method (http://rdoc.info/gems/watir/1.8.1/Watir/
Element:fire_event):

browser.link(:text => "Update").fire_event("onclick")
browser.link(:text => "Cancel").fire_event("onclick")

You should able to accomplish it through either .fire_event

send_keys: http://rdoc.info/gems/watir/1.8.1/Watir/IE#send_keys-instance_method

>1. Verify text in a new opened page?

browser.text.include?("string_to_verify")  # assuming you've attached
to the new page

> 2. Verify some condition in current page?

Just an example: browser.link(:id, 'id').exists?

And you would probably want to put that into a begin/rescue/end
statement to handle a failure case gracefully:

begin
  # assert/verify something (e.g. browser.text.include?
("string_to_verify"))
rescue
  # log the failure if it fails.
end

For some info on exception handling, check out

[orde]

If at all possible, try to get a developer to add an id tag (or some
unique element attribute like name or value) to the href so that you
can locate it more easily.

Otherwise, you could try something like this:

$browser.link(:href, /some_unique_part_of_href/).click
or
$browser.link(:href, /some_unique_part_of_href/).fire_event('onclick')

Hope it helps.

An old version of Programming Ruby is online:

[wtr-general] Re: Rich calender how to get value

[orde]

I google'd up a RichFaces example: 
http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/calendar.jsf.
It looks like you don't enter the date into the text field, but--
rather--you click on the calendar icon and select a date.

Peeking at the (ajax-heavy) HTML, you'll probably need to click on the
calender image and then use the fire_event method to trigger the event
handlers in the elements that you need to access.

Here's the link to the fire_event documentation:
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/1.6.5/classes/Watir/Element.html#M000557

Hope it helps.

To be honest, I really don't know since I don't use chromewatir and I
don't know if chromewatir is actively supported by its primary
developer at this point.

If there was info on handling popups with chromewatir, I'd expect it
to be on that page.

Perhaps one of the more informed contributors to this forum would have
a better idea (Željko?).

Take a look at 
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/1.6.5/classes/Watir/Waiter.html#M000580.

The wait_until method is defined in commonwatir/lib/watir/waiter.rb,
and there's an instance method in the Waiter class on line 36 that
should do the trick (note: untested): @@default_timeout = 60.0

I'm not personally familiar with Apple WO, but--since it's a web-app

[wtr-general] Re: How can I send a keystrokes using Watir?

[orde]

autoit is installed with watir.  You don't need to require it, but
you'll need to make sure the .dll is registered correctly.  If you run
into problems, check out 
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ#FAQ-HowdoIfixaWIN32OLERuntimeErrorwhenIuseAutoIt%3F

send_keys is a method that allows you to execute autoit commands
within watir scripts.  You can check out the send_keys method on
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/1.6.5/classes/Watir/IE.html#M000497.

[orde]

Something like this should work:

browser.link(:index=>0, :text=>"Share").click

Watir uses zero-based indexing (although I think firewatir is
different).  So, the example above would click on the first link where
the text is "Share".

Hope it helps.

Nice that you got it worked out.

One question, though.

Open IE, go to the website you're testing, right click, and select
Encoding.  Is Unicode (UTF-8) selected?

This will remove each "Â" character from the string:

x = "3       Jubitz Travel Center              Â
Portland,OR"
x.gsub!(/Â/, "")

But you're probably looking to solve your root problem.  Looks like a
UTF-8 vs. ISO-8859-1 issue.  Do a search for "utf-8 Â as a space" on
your favorite search engine, and that should point you in the right
direction (hopefully).

Hope that helps.

[wtr-general] Re: Measure download time of a file using watir

[orde]

Is a Download Complete popup actually displayed?  If not, then that
example won't work.

ai.ControlClick("Save As", "", "&Save", "left") and
ai.ControlClick("Download complete", "", "Close") provide 2 distinct
code points around the download process.  If possible, you need to
identify a second one (e.g. a Download Complete prompt).

Otherwise, maybe something like this (untested):
###
ai.ControlSend("Save As", "", "Edit1", file_to_download)
ai.ControlClick("Save As", "", "&Save", "left")

time_start = Time.now
   until
   File.exist?(filename) && File.size(filename) == known_file_size
   end
time_end = Time.now
###

Take a look at the File class.  It's packed with cool stuff.  Hope it
helps.

[wtr-general] Re: Measure download time of a file using watir

[orde]

Is there a Download Complete prompt/popup?  If so, you could wrap this
section of solution #2, and it will give you an approx. download
time.

Otherwise, you might be able to use the File class (e.g. see if the
downloaded file exists?  is the size 220MB?).

###
begin_time=Time.now
ai.ControlSend("Save As", "", "Edit1",filepath)
ai.ControlClick("Save As", "", "&Save", "left")
ai.WinWait("Download complete", "", 5)
ai.ControlClick("Download complete", "", "Close")
end_time=Time.now
download_time = time_start - time_end
###

Hope it helps.

[wtr-general] Re: Measure download time of a file using watir

[orde]

I've used solution #2 on http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/File+Downloads.

You should be able to modify that code to get an approximate download
time:

time_start = Time.now
# code
# code
time_end = Time.now
download_time = time_start - time_end

Hope it helps.

[wtr-general] Re: use verify instead of assert

[orde]

I'd suggest reading the Test::Unit documentation at
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Test/Unit.html.  The assertions
are detailed at http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Test/Unit/Assertions.html.

If you want your script to continue after a failed condition, you
could wrap the condition in an if/else statement.  Or use begin/rescue/
end:

begin
  # assert/verify something (e.g. assert(browser.link(:id,
"id").exists?)
rescue
  # log the failure if it fails.
end

Hopefully, this helps point you in the right direction.

orde

PS: In terms of "best practices for reporting to test results?", you'd
likely get various answers to that question.  I do know that many of
the contributors on this forum use RSpec and hold it in high regard.

[wtr-general] Re: div values in table

[orde]

browser.contains_text("total") is matching against the string
"total".

If you looking check the value of the variable named total, then you
would do this: browser.contains_text("#{total}").

Also, the .contains_text method has been deprecated in favor
of .text.include?  See 
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/1.6.5/classes/Watir/PageContainer.html#M000192

The .html method is returning a string value.   So, you're adding
"14.56" and "85.00" to create "14.5685.00"

You need to convert the a and b variables to a numeric class.  In this
case, you want to use .to_f:

total = a.to_f +  b.to_f

Hope that helps.

[wtr-general] Re: Handle Failures in Watir

[orde]

You could do it a couple of ways.

1. Use an if/else statement (as seen here - 
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Example+Logging)

if condition=true
   # log pass
else
   # log fail
end

2. Use the Exception class:

Here's the basic syntax:

begin
  # do something
rescue
  # log the failure if it fails.
end

For more detailed info, I'd strongly suggest getting familiar with
http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/tut_exceptions.html
and/or http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Exception.html

You can set the browser as invisible after launching the browser
(from http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/1.6.5/classes/Watir/IE.html#M000266):

browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.visible=(0)

Not sure if that's what you're looking for, tho.  Hope it helps.

Try click_no_wait instead of click on this line:

ie.link(:html,/return InstallHelper.clickedDownload()/).click

Also, check out: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Basic+Authentication

Hope it helps.

[wtr-general] Re: find out the value in select list

[orde]

Try .getSelectedItems[0] to get the currently selected option.

Try .getAllContents to get an array of the available options.

This info from
http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general/browse_thread/thread/22400557ce0ef33d/d2b1ff0fe5559bf4?lnk=gst&q=get+value+of+select_list#d2b1ff0fe5559bf4

Once you have an array of options, you should be able to iterate
through them.

Hope it helps.

I think you need to use click_no_wait on this line:

ie.button(:value, 'Click').click

Also, lots of info here: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Pop+Ups

Take a look at this page (especially the usage for example #2):

Use the click_no_wait method on the link that triggers the popup.

http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Watir/Container.html doesn't

[wtr-general] Re: Click on Image button inside frames not working

[orde]

Can you post the exact tag for this psuedo code:

 {This is is the image i need to click on}

To click an  tag, you'd use the button method; to
click , you'd use the checkbox method.

I don't know the type attribute for  , but that will
point to the correct method (in theory).

[wtr-general] Re: Trying to save an image

[orde]

I think the argument of the save method should be enclosed in double-
quotes:

browser.image(:index,1).save("c:\\test\\image.jpg")

Hope that helps.

[wtr-general] Re: what watir method use with img tag?

[orde]

.image is the correct method.  You might find this page useful:
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Watir/Container.html

Also, this (very useful) page summarizes the methods supported by
element:

http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Watir+Methods+Supported+by+HTML+Element

Hope that helps.
