[wtr-general] scripts for IE and Firefox both
Hi, I hope this isn't too annoying of a question. I'm just trying to decide our next steps wrt Watir and our test automation. I just thought I'd double check on what I think I know already. I spent the last several weeks getting our Watir suites working with v. 1.6.2 and Vista. I finally beat them into submission, and I'm exhausted. (This is not a reflection on Watir, but probably on the design of our scripts, and definitely on my lack of expertise). My ultimate goal was to get these scripts working with Firefox also, and I had some hope when I first read about 1.6.2 that this would be possible. However, I recall that Bret replied to one of my emails relating to dealing with modal dialogs this way: I'm saying that I do not have a plan on how to support modal dialog testing that will work with both IE and Firefox, and as far as I know, no one else is working on this. I'm wondering if this means we should abandon all hope of ever being able to run our scripts against Firefox (which would make them a lot easier to integrate with our build process, as well as easier for the developers who all use Macs to run them to help with their own testing)? The developers could run the scripts on their Parallels or VMWare, but the scripts run very slowly there for some reason. Should we be thinking about migrating to a different browser driver if we want to have scripts that everyone can use to help with testing? We have good tools for our automated regression tests, and I guess we could adapt those tests to do the same purpose of Watir, it just happened that it was the Watir scripts that got all the good flexibility that make them handy for setting up test scenarios. Do other people have automated scripts to help with exploratory testing and manual testing, and if so, what tools do you use for that? Or are other people just luckier and don't have modal dialogs to deal with?

[wtr-general] Re: scripts for IE and Firefox both
To clarify - our Watir scripts handle our modal dialogs in IE just fine. For example: def click_modal_button(ie, type='OK', sleep_time=6, timeout=20) hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(sleep_time) if (hwnd) w = WinClicker.new w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd( hwnd, #{type}) w=nil end end I'm looking for affirmation that we will never be able to get these scripts to work with modal dialogs in Firefox unless the test automation fairy turns me into some better kind of programmer and I can add this functionality to Watir myself. I'm puzzled though - are modal dialogs weird? Do most apps not use them? What do you use instead? thanks Lisa On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 4:35 PM, Paul Rogers paul.rog...@shaw.ca wrote: ok, modal dialogs are a different beast entirely.

[wtr-general] Re: scripts for IE and Firefox both
there are lots o different types of dialogs, most of the time you will see an 'alert box; done in javascript like this alert('hi Lisa'); and you will see a box with an ok button and the words a modalDialog displays a full html page using the showModalDialog methd - as far as I know its an ie only feature. so many apps wont use them, because they are IE only Take a look at this link http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Pop+Ups Paul On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 4:50 PM, Lisa Crispin lisa.cris...@gmail.com wrote: To clarify - our Watir scripts handle our modal dialogs in IE just fine. For example: def click_modal_button(ie, type='OK', sleep_time=6, timeout=20) hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(sleep_time) if (hwnd) w = WinClicker.new w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd( hwnd, #{type}) w=nil end end I'm looking for affirmation that we will never be able to get these scripts to work with modal dialogs in Firefox unless the test automation fairy turns me into some better kind of programmer and I can add this functionality to Watir myself. I'm puzzled though - are modal dialogs weird? Do most apps not use them?

Couple of other things: 1) I looked at your question about the 'group' setting for win32ole.so.

[wtr-general] Re: scripts for IE and Firefox both
Thanks, Bret. I was hoping to make it work with Firefox on the mac, actually. But it sounds like that's a non starter. I will pursue these issues more with my team! thanks Lisa On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 7:50 PM, Bret Pettichord b...@pettichord.comwrote: Lisa, The problem with your code is that it is specific to both Windows and IE. Making it work with Firefox on Windows is a medium sized problem, but it still wouldn't help your developers with their macs. Off hand, I wouldn't know how to start on getting this work on other platforms. And yes, these kinds of dialogs are somewhat weird. Few apps use them today, they are considered poor design. Nowadays developers get the same effect using lighboxes which end up being modal according the strict definition of modal, but the look better. And they are fairly easy to handle with Watir on both IE and Firefox (on Windows and Macs). Bret Lisa Crispin wrote: To clarify - our Watir scripts handle our modal dialogs in IE just fine. For example: def click_modal_button(ie, type='OK', sleep_time=6, timeout=20) hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(sleep_time) if (hwnd) w = WinClicker.new w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd( hwnd, #{type}) w=nil end end I'm looking for affirmation that we will never be able to get these scripts to work with modal dialogs in Firefox unless the test automation fairy turns me into some better kind of programmer and I can add this functionality to Watir myself.

I'm just trying to decide our next steps wrt Watir and our test automation. I just thought I'd double check on what I think I know already.

(This is not a reflection on Watir, but probably on the design of our scripts, and definitely on my lack of expertise). My ultimate goal was to get these scripts working with Firefox also, and I had some hope when I first read about 1.6.2 that this would be possible. However, I recall that Bret replied to one of my emails relating to dealing with modal dialogs this way: I'm saying that I do not have a plan on how to support modal dialog testing that will work with both IE and Firefox, and as far as I know, no one else is working on this. I'm wondering if this means we should abandon all hope of ever being able to run our scripts against Firefox (which would make them a lot easier to integrate with our build process, as well as easier for the developers who all use Macs to run them to help with their own testing)? The developers could run the scripts on their Parallels or VMWare, but the scripts run very slowly there for some reason. Should we be thinking about migrating to a different browser driver if we want to have scripts that everyone can use to help with testing? We have good tools for our automated regression tests, and I guess we could adapt those tests to do the same purpose of Watir, it just happened that it was the Watir scripts that got all the good flexibility that make them handy for setting up test scenarios.

[wtr-general] Watir Bug on Cygwin: Diagnosis and Workaround
On Cygwin, I ran into two separate problems that prevented Watir 1.6.2 from working. First, the 'win32ole.so' file that ships with Watir appears to be incompatible with the version that is installed with my copy of Cygwin- ruby. (see http://pastie.org/374756) An error message 'bad file permissions' was generated when trying to run 'x = Watir::IE.new' from within IRB. My workaround was to copy the 'ruby' version of win32ole.so into the 'watir' directories. (see http://pastie.org/374865) Once this was done, another error occured - relating to modal dialogs. (see http://pastie.org/374865) This was fixed by commenting out 2 lines in the Watir source code: File - modal_dialog.rbLine - 65 GetUnknown.call ... win32.rb:6 GetUnknown = Win32API.new(... Once these lines were commented out, watir worked. Ideas for fixes: - Fix the modal dialog issue with conditional execution: GetUnknown.call (...) unless RUBY_PLATFORM == 'i386- cygwin' GetUnknown=Win32APUI.new(... unless RUBY_PLATFORM == 'i386-cygwin' - Fix the win32ole issue by not bundling this file in the gem (??) - Cygwin support: either fully commit to supporting cygwin, or not I think it should be supported!!! run regression tests on cygwin before every release --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

I agree with #2. Watir::IE.new should be fine. I'm also 99% sure you don't even need the win32ole.so file (it is only needed for showModalDialog support). There is a line in the watir code that loads this file (instead of the standard win32ole.so file that comes with ruby). So I suggest modifying watir so that it doesnot even try to load this file.

LOL! Nice to see you around Chris, hope all's well at Socialtext HQ! Things are smokin' at ST HQ. We are coming up on 10,000 test steps; that is, 10,000 assertions of behavior at the UI level. Unfortunately, we're using Selenium :-). FWIW, we have a little more than 12,000 assertions at the unit/integration level. The purpose of all this automation, of course, is to allow testers to examine interesting parts of the application. Closely. At their leisure. With their eyeballs. If it's any consolation though, the CI-like testrunner script that checks out code, creates a test env, runs the tests, and reports the results: is all Ruby. As are the exploratory API tools. I like me some Ruby. Congratulations to all the Watirfolk on all the great integrations in recent times.
