[wtr-general] Name of the currently running methods
Hi, Can I get the name of the currently running methods with the class and package name. like-- class A def method() puts nameofThecurrentMethod end end let suppose there is a method nameofThecurrentMethod which prints the name of the currently running method. Is it possible in Watir? Thanks vikas --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

You could always define your tests in a wiki and update the results directly to there! A good way to get everyone involved in what you are running and what the results are.

[wtr-general] Re: FireWatir 1.6.2 unittests don't run
I opened Jira ticket #WTR-301 to address the problem. I'll look over the wiki information again and see what I can do to help clarify the steps to get up and running until the problem is addressed in a future gem release/install. The present wiki information seems to be really geared towards developers, which is a big turn-off for me. ;) Cheers. Paul C. (BTW, I apologised to Al off-list for my prior post. I didn't mean to harsh on him.. I was just frustrated at the time I spent trying to resolve the problem when the only advice I could find on the wiki said that I need to "Get the source code and unit tests from SVN." To me, asking a tester to install development tools to retrieve development source to make something work just seems like the wrong way to go, you know? Ah well, such is life sometimes in the Open Source world. ;) Keep moving forward.)

[wtr-general] Re: Flash with watir
Also, keep in mind that FlashWatir is not a universal solution to
testing Flash. It can only see the functions that the Flash app chooses
to expose to JavaScript. So testing a random app on the web isn't
likely to work; testing an in-house app will require talking to your
developers about exposing the needed functions.

Its actually just text not a link. My table has columns 'Agency', City, State. Each row will have data populated.

[wtr-general] Re: How to click on a table cell based on the text string that I know. Ex:- Wilmington.
is there something more inside the cell than just the text? because normally 'selecting' a table cell does nothing. If there's something in there that you can act on, maybe you should try to address that element, using (:text, 'textyouknow) to identify it. If you need to be sure it's inside the table you can specify it that way (again just like nested tables or frames) e.g if it was a link, then browser.table().link(:text, 'textIknow').click by the way I do the same kind of thing with divs.. say that the same link "about" appears in both a standard footer, and a page specific header, both of which are defined as divs, you can do things like this to make sure you are looking at or working with the correct one browser.div(:id, 'navheader').link(:text, 'about') browser.div(:id, 'footer').link(:text, 'about') On Apr 6, 3:27 pm, satish wrote: > I have atableinside that I have 3X3 rows/columns. > I need to select a cellbasedontext. > > Please tell me how to deal with this. > > HTML tag for the cell is attached under TD tag as #text > Ex:- > > > Wilmington > > > > Thank you very much. > > Appreciate your help. > Satish --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Speeding up unit testing for Rails projects
Hi everyone. There is a new startup here in Colorado that is doing something pretty cool for Ruby/Rails development projects. Full disclosure - I have a (tiny) investment in the company and provide advice to them from time to time. Agile Developers may spend (waste?) up to an hour a day waiting for unit test suites to run. Devver (http://devver.net/) runs your Ruby Test::Unit test suites in the cloud, in 25% to 35% of the time it would take on a single computer. RSpec support is coming soon. If you have a long-running Test::Unit test suite, Devver would like to help you speed it up. By participating in their beta program, you can try Devver for free. It's easy to set up and requires zero changes to your source code. If you are interested, please contact them here: contact at devver dot net.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir
Your original script would probably work if you'd had the correct
value for the ID.
You were using the id of the DIV that contained the select list, when
you wanted the id value for the SELECT list itself
were you ripping the values from the code itself using view source, or
were you using the IE developer toolbar? The toolbar makes it a
little clearer what page element you are looking at the properties
for.

[wtr-general] Re: How to Drag and Drop a DIV element in Watir
if divs are draggable around the screen it's due to javascript running on the client, since that's not a normal behavior in an html page all on it's own. You should probably talk to your devs to find out how it's being done. I suspect you might end up having to do something like firing the mousedown event on the div to drag, and then maybe mousemove events, and then a mouse-up event to put it down. I'll soon be dealing with something similar, so I anticipate sharing your pain.

[wtr-general] Re: IE out of memory error (buffer overflow)
Thanks guys. @Darin, There actually is a puts statement and a counter, I just didn't add it to the example code because puts seemed to be working fine (i.e. it wasn't printing out super large amounts of text). @Chuck, I noticed that as well, that it starts to hog memory. Closing and re-opening the browser after a set amount of iterations sounds like it would work. I'll try it tomorrow and let you guys know.

[wtr-general] Re: how to work with inner tags like td etc..
does the outer table had a good way to identify it? does the inner table exist inside a specific cell of the outer table? You might try using .flash to see if you can sort of work your way in from the outside. Potentially (this is theory, I've got no good site I can think of to hit and see if this works) you might end up doing something like is sometimes done with frames browser.table(:id, 'outertable')[1][1].table(:index, 1)[1][1].text the [1][1] values above likely have to change to indicate the row and column inside the table that contain the thing you want, be it the inner table, or the cell in the inner table that contains the text you want.

[wtr-general] Re: Flash with watir
For FlashWatir support, you'd probably be best off contacting the
developer of flashwatir directly since I don't see that they have a
forum or anything listed on the google code page for it.
Your example below appears to be just a slightly edited version of
their generic example code, Most likely the flash element that you
are trying to access has an ID other than 'clickcolors' which is why
it's not found.
If you dont' understand how identifying page elements and such works,
I'd strongly recommend you work through the watir tutorial (http://
wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Tutorial). Without a basic understanding
of what's going on, you won't know what things need to change (like
how objects on the page are identified) in order to experience
anything but failure when you try to utilize sample code in the way
you are.

[wtr-general] how to work with inner tags like td etc..
I apologise for my questions, I am very new to this watir tool. Login To Agency Here I have to get the name in side the table, as you can see there is no id or name associated with it. I tried using 'innerText' but down side with that is since this table is part of other tables I am getting large data I do not need. I realised I can not use td tag like table to my code. Can any one suggest a better way to deal with this? Is there any documentation of all the HTML tags supported, how to use them etc? Appreciate your help.

[wtr-general] Re: IE out of memory error (buffer overflow)
I would also look for opportunities where you could close and re-open the browser. IE can be a bit of a memory pig I've noticed, and if you are going to page after page after page with it, it will eventually grow to use a lot of memory. if it really was the text method in watir (or some ie/windows code it is calling), you'd be able to demonstrate it by having a small loop with a lot of text method execution, but never navigate off the current page, and you'd be able to watch the memory used by the browser swelling as the loop executes.

[wtr-general] Re: Test Automation? Pashaw!
write the results to HTML on a network share everyone can access, send mail when the test finishes that the results are available (or better yet embed the report in the mail)..or link to it from sharepont or your team wiki or whatever collaboration tools you are using. (see the html reporting class in the examples for a starting point) Run them really frequently (like if there is an automated nightly 'full build') so you catch a problem as soon after it occurs as possible. Then pray to your favored god(s) that a dev messes up and the tests expose the problem, because the instant that happens, management starts to see the value in what you've done. Seeing the tests pass is a 'feel good' and gives managers a nice 'warm fussy' feeling, but demonstrating that they can catch a regression that might have otherwise gone out the door is a whole level better than that. (because that kind of mistake can be potentially costly) The best way to silence naysayers is with results. If the results happen to be a nicely formatted HTML page, with the company logo on it, and nice color coded PASS and FAIL stuff, so much the better since managers eat that stuff up. The more visible your work is, (providing you are doing good work) the higher up the food chain in your org, the more likely you are to get support for what you are doing.

[wtr-general] Re: Test Automation? Pashaw!
Hi George, I appreciate the plugs for the book from Paul and Chris (and it's the contributions from them and other folks like them that make the book helpful!) Does your team do any regression testing? If so, and if you don't have these tests automated, who is doing the manual regression tests? What has worked for me in the past is to get support from the team coach/manager that the whole team should be responsible for quality and testing. When it's time to do manual regression testing, the entire team participates. Since you will have more and more regression tests as you deliver more and more new functionality, it will soon become obvious to everyone why automating these tests would be really helpful. In my experience, it takes a commitment from everyone on the development team, not only the testers, to deliver high-quality software. Programmers don't want to deliver a crummy product either. If you can get everyone talking about this, identifying pain points and how to mitigate them, you may find support for automation efforts. What language is your app under test written in? As much as I like Watir, you might get better buy-in if you get the whole team to agree on the most appropriate automation tools for your situation. While the Java programmers on my team went along with using Watir, and they all bought the PickAxe book so they could help with the scripts, they've never been as sold on it as they have on other tools we use such as FitNesse where they can write the automation fixtures in Java. Be patient and take baby steps. Try to get the whole team engaged in an automation effort. I highly recommend _Fearless Change_ by Rising and Manns, it has really helpful patterns on how to introduce changes such as this. -- Lisa On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 10:54 AM, George wrote: > > Right now, I'm creating simple regression tests that we can run after > every patch/version update.

[wtr-general] Re: Test Automation? Pashaw!
This conversation tends to be quite unproductive when it becomes "is or isn't test automation useful." It's a lot like "Are books useful?" Books won't solve any problems on their own. There are plenty of problems that books will not help with a bit. There are /some/ problems where /the right/ books /well applied/ might add tremendous value. Similarly with testing, I like to look at what are the problems that need to be solved. Then I like to think about each of them, and consider solutions. Is one of your problems basic functionality breaking when code is changed? Unit tests /might/ be a great solution to your problem. Do you suspect intermittent production failures are the result of concurrency issues? Likewise, computer-assisted tests might be your best bet in reproducing the problem in house. I think discussing the relative costs/benefits of automated browser-based regression testing is a good idea, and getting real experience reports helps a lot. Even within this specific area, there may be some problems that're helped through automated browser-based tests and others where the cost is too high. By the way, I wrote a bit about some of the most compelling cases where I've used watir over the past five years here: http://testingjeff.wordpress.com/2008/04/15/why-do-you-use-watir/ Getting time added into the schedule for test automation is a different question, but one that /might/ become easier if you're able to focus the conversation around solutions to particular problems.

[wtr-general] Flash with watir
Hi all,
Is it posible to test flash on the web?
I am using following code
# include the controller
require 'flash_watir'
include FireWatir
# create an instance of the controller
browser = Firefox.new
# go to the flash page you want to test
browser.goto('http://www.geocities.com/paulocaroli/flash/colors.html')
sleep(3)
# call the default methods available in flash
percentage_loaded = browser.flash(:id, "clickcolors").percent_loaded
but i am getting the below erroe.
>ruby flash.rb
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/flash_watir-1.1.0/lib/flash_watir/
flash.rb:20:in `percent_loaded': Unable to locate element, using :id,
"clickcolors" (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
from flash.rb:10

[wtr-general] Re: Test Automation? Pashaw!
Right now, I'm creating simple regression tests that we can run after every patch/version update. And, you're right - there isn't much of a chance of these tests failing. We're automating this because it's boring to do manually. As far as the quick win, I have already completed quite a few scripts for a couple of our web apps. My manager has actually been great as far as being an advocate. The challenge for me as a beginner is that I'm constantly seeing ways I can refactor the code to make it better, or add functionality (such as writing the results to an Excel file), so I may be working a little too long on these. Perhaps with the introduction of the Watircraft framework, the process of writing scripts can be a little more streamlined. Truth be told, I actually don't mind the unpaid overtime. Learning Ruby/Watir is a lot of fun and it doesn't even seem like work to me. It's just unfortunate that official work time can't be alloted to this effort.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir Recorder++ and Watir
Did you by any chance install this as admin and are trying to run it as a regular user? Might want to check your permissions? i played with watir recorder++ a long while back and never had problems with watir not working after that. A suggestion though - try to stay away from the recording tools and get straight into writing your own scripts. Will make your tests more robust and you will have control of maintainability. If you are new to Ruby and Watir and not sure where to start, you might want to look at WatirCraft and start there. (http://www.watircraft.com/) Have not personally played with it but I hear you might be better off starting with it.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir
you are trying to access select_list using id of label. I think watir is
right in not recognizing the element. Correct?
ie.select_list(:id, "ct100_ContentPlaceHolder1_IbISupervisor").
"ct100_ContentPlaceHolder1_IbISupervisor" is ID for span & not select_list.
As per your HTML code "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ddlSelectSupervisor" is ID
for select list so you should try
ie.select_list(:id, "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ddlSelectSupervisor")

[wtr-general] Re: Performance Testing
At the company where I work using oss tools for performance testing (www.altentee.com) we often use JMeter to 'spin up the wheels' or as Chuck put it, conduct 'protocol' level testing. At the same time we also run a quasi-smoke test if you like, using Watir to conduct 'browser' level testing. Protocol level tests do apply load differently albeit in subtle ways. Things like re-use or discontinued use of http connections, parallel execution of browser threads, client render time (DOM tree parsing and javascript processing) sometimes have an effect on end user response time. I have seen peculiar behavior of browsers (particularly IE) when the SUT is under load or when emulating network conditions (latency & bandwidth). Things like '1 items remaining' or hung AJAX calls or even large discrepancies b/w protocol level response time and *actual* browser level response times... That's why we see significant value in using Watir + JMeter/the Grinder/OpenSTA at the same time. Operations such as BrowserMob (using selenium to control ur botnet) is useful in the sense it does sometimes simplify the script effort for your load test. We generally script 80% of the SUT with JMeter, but the other 20% often complicated by pesky AJAX controls and the like are sometimes easier done in Selenium and/or Watir. Another great use of Watir is to generate your load scripts in JMeter from Watir scripts. It sounds like overkill, but if you know you will be re-scripting again and again due to successive code drops etc, it's often easier to generate & maintain these from Watir scripts i.e. playback watir with the JMeter/Badboy proxy/recorder after each code drop. Once you get familiar with the SUT you generally have a template bunch of regex extractors etc to apply to your freshly generated load scripts. I prefer to read Watir scripts rather than look at .jmx or .c files...

[wtr-general] Re: Regex in the link's text
Or, since vb is already a string, then even cleaner syntax would be:
ie.link(:text, Regexp.new(vb)).click
Also, Netbeans for example doesn't mess syntax highlighting up with
the /#{vb}/ solution.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir
Perhaps you should set the select element and not the span element?
(And could you please give your topic a more meaningful name instead
of 'watir'?)
