[wtr-general] Towards migrating to Watir.com
Hi Everyone, I have looked into many options and can't find a free/cheap option to host Confluence for watir.com. Amazon EC2 will be at least US$80 per month (~$1000 per year) so we would need to find a sponsor for this. On top of this, we would need to configure and maintain (backup) Confluence ourselves which is additional effort. In moving forward I have asked why we are wanting to do what we're doing. I understand there are two main reasons: 1) The current site (http://wtr.rubyforge.org/) is old, hard to update by multiple people, and not very dynamic, meaning the information on here is often not up to date. 2) It is believed the openqa.org site is taking on a more selenium focus and therefore Watir might be better hosted elsewhere (dedicated instance). One solution I propose is that we use wordpress.com as a CMS to host watir.com (custom domain name mapping costs $10USD per year) and besides this there is no charge for up to 3GB content and unlimited traffic. The benefit of using wordpress.com is that it is very fast, has a high google pagerank, is very easy to configure and use, and allows multiple authors for the site. I have set a very quick demo here: http://watirweb.wordpress.com/ The great thing is that the site has RSS feeds, and using the widgets we can display various content dynamically. This solves issue 1 above, but the issue 2 still exists. I personally think issue 2 has died down a bit of late, and that we could possibly continue using openqa.org for the wiki and JIRA for the immediate future, until something changes. We can just link to this site from watir.com I look forward to hearing your ideas and feedback about this.

[wtr-general] WatirCraft LLC is closing
Pete Dignan and I have decided to shut down WatirCraft LLC. I will begin working full time for Convio in July. Convio has made a big commitment to using Watir. I will continue to be involved in the Watir community, but Convio is a software company that uses Watir internally to test its software -- just like many of you. Convio has not made any commitment to sponsor contributions to Watir, except when they also serve their internal needs. I'm actually looking forward to going back to being mainly a tester, instead of a framework developer. It will take some time to figure out what this transition will mean for my involvement with Watir. For one, it means we will need more help running the Watir project. Getting the Watir 1.7 release out has been delayed due to this transition (and a sprained knee), but all that is behind me now, so that should be able to move out shortly. Some people have asked about the WatirCraft framework. Convio currently uses the Rasta framework, and I expect to get more involved with that framework, which Hugh McGowan (at Convio) has been working on quite diligently lately. Some time ago, I sketched out a plan to integrate Rasta into WatirCraft. I expect to take a second look at those plans. The WatirCraft framework itself is open-source and will continue to be hosted on Github and available for use.

[wtr-general] What is equivalent to ie.childBrowser() used in Watij?
Hi everybody!
Maybe the question is a bit strange but nevertheless)
I am trying to work with application using Watir. Before this my
colleague worked a bit with the same application using Watij. And he
found out that it is necessary to use such code:
IE ie=new IE();
ie.start("http://link.com";);
IE new_ie = ie.childBrowser();
i.e. it is necessary to work with child brower, in other case nothing
works.
The question is what is the equivalent of "ie.childBrowser()" in Ruby/
Watir?
p.s. Child browser in my application does not look like new window.

[wtr-general] Re: Finding a specific instance of a repeated link via text surrounding it.
I can appreciate (and I presume the users will also) the effort to keep the page lightweight. "running light, without overbyte" as Dr. Dobbs used to say. but perhaps you could see if they could add the minimun needed to make it more testable without a lot of extra overhead (e.g. going nuts with divs tables etc) a few bytes of 'name=' here and there on some link and radio buttons isn't going to noticiably affect the speed, the overhad there is super light, and shouldn't really affect render time that much either.. (I'd doubt the effect would exceed the margin of error and/or repeatability in trying to measure it) not like I expect dev to solve all your test automation issues for you, but hey it is a partnership, so it's not unreasonable imho to ask for a bone now and then.

[wtr-general] Re: How to detect the a mouseover popup?
Are you talking about something that is dynamically rendered in the UI when an element experiences a mouseover? You'd need to be able to determine what properties of the dynamic element you could look for, like a visibility style. Once you know that, fire the 'onMouseOver' event at the elementA that should be reacting to the mouseover event, allow a tiny bit of time for elementB it to render (might sleep for a half second or something) and check for the resulting style change on the elementB that would be causing it to be displayed. not sure if that's foolproof or not, potentially whatever reacts to the style change could be failing to work and you'd not detect it (I think) but it's about the closest I've found.

[wtr-general] Re: Finding a specific instance of a repeated link via text surrounding it.
Thanks Chuck. In this case, each link is to a different URL, but whether I want to click there in my test is determined by whether some text is located immediately above it. Normally the devs do a great job of putting names and ids on every little piece, but as this is for mobile browsers (like the blackberry), they've kept it as simple as possible so that all browsers could read it and it would download quickly. It probably wouldn't hurt for them to add some things like names and ids, but then they'd have to put in tables, divs, etc., which they are hesitant to do as they are trying to keep things as absolutely simple as possible. The advice above is helping me, although I'm having some issues using the "after?" how, as I mentioned in a new thread I just opened up. It seems to work for me with certain kinds of elements, but not others. I'm going to keep hacking away at it for a bit, but in the end I may just give up on it. It may just not be worth automating the testing on this.

[wtr-general] Re: Finding a specific instance of a repeated link via text surrounding it.
unless my HTML is really rusty, 'b' tags are for boldface.normally I'd try looking the next container up. but in this case it would appear that whatever that container is (we can't tell from the fragment you gave us) there's more text in there than that.. including text in other tags You might end up having to learn a bit about regular expressions to tackle this one. I'm guessing you can't predict the URL for that link, or you'd be identifying it that way right? and that unlike your examples the URL for each link is in fact different (otherwise, clicking one is as good as clicking another) man too bad they didn't stick those things into a table or something, that would make your life a lot easier. is 'testability' a requirement for the site you are testing against? if so maybe you could persuade the devs to make a few changes that would make it easier to automate? like oh a 'Name' attribute for the link that is the same as the nearby text that identifies it visually On Jun 3, 9:38 am, James wrote: > Thanks Darin - that's really helpful!

[wtr-general] Re: element search recursive?
Think of a frame as an entirely seperate web-page, embedded within another web page. it is such a distinct body that it's really not practical to think of it as a 'nested container' they way you would a div, table, or form. Due to this and other restrictions, many web-devs I know consider frames to be 'evil' and eschew their use whenever practical.

[wtr-general] Re: forms in subframes - elements not found
Hey I know you want to look for the select_list INSIDE the form,
(perhaps to verify it's in the right 'place' within the dom etc) but
if the intent is to manipulate the list, and you are able to identify
it by ID value, then as a workaround until this problem is corrected,
why not just leave out the form and look for it inside the frame?
I mean given that you are identifying it by ID and not Name or Class,
there should only be ONE of them on the page if it's proper HTML.
Yes this doesn't let you validate that someone didn't move the thing
outside of the form, or address any other reason you have for wanting
to look for it 'inside' the form (which I understand perfectly, I do
that kind of thing all the time with navigation links within a
specific div etc) but it might at least let you get around this for
now.. (and beats the heck out of having to setup a windows VM or
something just so you can run the scripts)
It also seems to me like you've got a pretty valid (and thanks to the
public site, easily reproducable) bug here, so you might want to
create a Jira item for it to see that it gets fixed
FWIW I think this code should run on either browser with a simple
change of the default browser value
require 'watir'
Watir::Browser.default = 'ie' #sets browser preference
url = "http://www.siemens.de/jobs/jobs_bewerbung/jobboerse/Seiten/
jobboerse.aspx"
browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto(url)
browser.frame(:index, 1).form(:name, "lay0803234_src350a").select_list
(:id, "LOV6") .inspect

Frame object is entirely different entity from $ie. So, it does not navigate into a frame to find frame objects. What you finding is expected behavior. - Original Message From: MatchBook To: Watir General Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 11:44:52 AM Subject: [wtr-general] element search recursive? I noticed that sometimes watir searches within its nested containers for items, and sometimes it does not. I would like to know the rules by which it decides to do so or not. For example, I noticed that in an Amazon.com page 'ie.link(:text, "Advanced Search")' returned the same link as 'ie.table.link(:text, "Advanced Search")' (here, table is a table element), which lead me to believe that watir will search sub-containers for the item requested.

Aidy. thanks for the feedback!!
ff.table(:index, 1).rows[0].html
is the same as
ff.table(:index, 1).row(:index, 1).html
rows[0] refers to the first element of the array as row(:index, 1)
referers to the location of the first row in the dom using the
locate_taged_element method.
however - i see you have access to both IE and Firefox. could you
please please run this code and tel me if you get the same results as
i do??
This should work for IE and Firefox (watir and firewatir)
url = "http://www.siemens.de/jobs/jobs_bewerbung/jobboerse/Seiten/
jobboerse.aspx"
ff = FireWatir::Firefox.new
ff.goto(url)
ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:name, "lay0803234_src350a").inspect
This should only work for IE: (watir only)

Yep, that would probable work better, that way when you update you libraries (re-install) you wouldn't have to re-enter the tags in the non_controlling_element.rb, I've been meaning to get around to do that.

Below is code that gets the div that appears after a label, this might also help. label_id = $ie.div(:after?, $ie.label(:text,'Home')).span(:index,1) -Original Message- From: watir-general@googlegroups.com [mailto:watir-gene...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of James Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 11:24 AM To: Watir General Subject: [wtr-general] Re: Finding a specific instance of a repeated link via text surrounding it. It's more like I just want to grab an element based on where it is in reference to another element, or in reference to text on the page. I noticed Charley's mention of xpath and am looking into it right now - I think it might be what I'm looking for, unless someone has another suggestion.

xpath will work, I don't use it much, but it will work. There's also a beforetext and aftertext way to get it, but if remember right, we might be removing that at some point.

It's more like I just want to grab an element based on where it is in reference to another element, or in reference to text on the page. I noticed Charley's mention of xpath and am looking into it right now - I think it might be what I'm looking for, unless someone has another suggestion.

[wtr-general] Re: Check div for null return
Not sure how the cucumber example is working but the assert boolean if
wokring would do this test perfectly.
I know how the assert is checking bor the text etc ang how the timer is
working but either the timer function is not working (most likely) or the
boolean if statement is not funcitoning. The second that the line
if jsToEval = 'Ext.query("div.x-tool")[0].click()' #check for x and click if
present
@@ie.document.parentWindow.eval(jsToEval)
executes the waitir test suite finishishes which indicates that it is not
waiting for 35 seconds to see if loading disappears?

Is there documentation of Boolean anywhere in relation to tracker? The test

The problem is Loading... will be present for a few seconds regardless, the

[wtr-general] Re: Check div for null return
The predicate '?' in Ruby indicates that the method returns a Boolean.
The wait_for? method will 'yield' if that block is true.
And then we are asserting whether that block is true or false.

[wtr-general] Re: forms in subframes - elements not found
Chuck, thanks a million for the feedback.
This seems to be problem with firewatir. The following works fine.
url = "http://www.siemens.de/jobs/jobs_bewerbung/jobboerse/Seiten/
jobboerse.aspx"
ff = FireWatir::Firefox.new
ff.goto(url)
ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:name, "lay0803234_src350a").inspect
This does not:
url = "http://www.siemens.de/jobs/jobs_bewerbung/jobboerse/Seiten/
jobboerse.aspx"
ff = FireWatir::Firefox.new
ff.goto(url)
ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:name, "lay0803234_src350a").select_list(:id,
"LOV6") .inspect
which results in the following error:
MozillaBaseElement.rb:973:in `assert_exists': Unable to locate
element, using :id, "LOV6" (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
I had a look at the firewatir code and see this in the
locate_tagged_element method which is total crap because if the
container class is not a frame then the search of the object will
default to the base document and not the frame!! which of course
explains why it is not working.
if(@container.class == FireWatir::Firefox || @container.class ==
Frame)
jssh_command += "var elements_#{tag} = null; elements_#{tag} = #
{DOCUMENT_VAR}.getElementsByTagName(\"#{tag}\");"
Totally, totally rubbish and makes firewatir vertually unuseable for
anyone exploring forms within frames.
and even more unfortunate is the fact that i cannot use IE because I
am in a unix environement.
bugger, bugger, bugger.

[wtr-general] Re: example problem
Chuck, Your comments are highly simplistic: We still have differences with list based indexes; Watir being one based and Firewatir zero based (as Watir wraps OLE and FireWatir, javascipt), the text representation of the HTML (browser.text), #click_no_wait, and to my knowledge parallelism.
