[wtr-general] Re: Automating a File uploader popup
Hi Natasha (and all)-- This might be OT, but I'll throw it out there because you mentioned flash a couple of times in this thread. Is there an tag associated with the page element that you're trying to access? If you right-click on the page element using Firefox, do you see an overlay about "About Adobe Flash Player"? If so, my understanding is that out-of-the-box watir doesn't support flash, so the above solutions won't necessarily work. Hope that helps... orde --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Re: Automating a File uploader popup
Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately I tried to automate the click event for
the span and it didn't popup the upload file window.
I saw that watir identified the button and even clicked it, but nothing
happened. But when I try to do the same manually it works fine.
Source code for the page under test:
Upload your images to
MOO
Watir command executed:
#$ie.span(:id,"spnUploadButton").fire_event("OnMouseDown")
#$ie.span(:id,"spnUploadButton").fire_event("OnMouseUp")
$ie.span(:id,"spnUploadButton").click
NOTE: I tried both click method as well as fire_events. None worked.
Thanks,
Natasha

Excellent answers! How do I disable flash? Application under test creates E-mails as part of its capabilities, so examining them is part of the test. I knew I didn't wish to script Outlook (too hard), and we have ids for Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo. As I have existing accounts on Google and Yahoo, Hotmail looked attractive.

[wtr-general] Re: using Rails routes
in principle - there is no reason that is should not work. except if depends on the mocks and stubs you are using for your testing. you need the full (ulr_for) resolution url name for the browser.goto as you need the mongral server running to generate the page in the browser, i am not so sure that it makes a lot of sense to mix up the two test areas. in the rails environment you are (or should be) testing your program with mocks and stubs which is entirely independant of an application server running or not. if you want to test the "realworld output to the browser" I would do that outside of rails, afterall it does not really matter what application generates the pages the you want to test. hope that is food for thought. jason On 17 Jun., 07:59, Macsig wrote: > Hello guys, > I'm new to watir: I have just discovered it through "Cucumber and > Watir 101" screencast (http://vimeo.com/2871256). > Right now I'm trying to use it with Cucumber and Rails (as Dave shows > in the screencast).

[wtr-general] Re: firewatir form submit working???
hmmm, ok - it seems from looking at the firewatir code that I have been misunderstanding what "fire_event" in the firewatir code does. I thought it did exactly that - fire an event to the browser through jssh - which is in hind sight VERY stupid of me. fire_event seems to literally call the javascript method defined for the object in the browser dom that will be called when the browser recieves and event for that object. So if a method has been attached to an object (onclick, onsubmit etc) it will just be called through jssh when the firewatir method fire_event has been called with a specific evet type - and only for that specific object. This will not of course effect any other objects listening for the event - unless fire_event is called for them too (which firefox does automatically when it gets an event - i.e. keyboard, mouse etc). This means that we dont really reproduce globally accross all objects in the browser dom what could happen when an single local object is clicked or the keyboard is pressed. I am seeing a lot of pages where many objects are listing for the same event and then react accordingly - this behaviour we cannot (i dont think) reproduce with any degree of success. What does this mean for the submit() method working on some forms and not on others? Basically either - there is someway on a unix machine to simulate real mouse and keyboard events (any suggestions welcome) - or find the object in the form or on the page that actually submits the form (objects that are not within the form can easilly be programmed in javascript to submit the form - even though they have seemingly nothing to do with the form at all), click it and hope that no other objects on the page or in the form that do somthing really important before or after the form get submitted. I think however, that in most cases a click on the submit object should work - even though difficult for a software agent to locate prgramatically. if anyone has a different view on my findings, please let me know - and i hope this helps someone else with the same problem. jason.

Disable flash, or install a plugin that disables large ads and see if that fixes your problem - the ad doesn't load and the script moves along quickly. As long as you are comfortable with that setup, your problem is fixed. If you want the script to ignore the ads, you'll need to look into using .click_no_wait instead of .click to navigate. Watir will then not wait for the page to load, but the downside is that you will need to manually wait for the elements to load that you are looking for. Why are you scripting against Hotmail? People commonly use email sites for practice/learning, but they are notoriously difficult and therefore not good practice/learning sites. If it is to automate an email task, I would think that there would be better solutions for scripting against hotmail than using watir to drive a browser. __ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4162 (20090617) __ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Re: firewatir form submit working???
Orde, Thanks a million for spending so much time on this - totally appreciated. After consulting my javascript book - The satement "forms that have onsubmit defined MAY not work when the function submit() is called. It seems that the function submit() does not trigger the onsubmit event handler. The onsubmit event handler will only be triggered by a genuine click (fire event). onsubmit is evaluated before submit - if false is returned then submit will not be excecuted. The book suggests that onsubmit function can be called seperately with element.onsubmit() So then the following should be the valid sequence. form(:index, 1).submit if form(:index, 1).onsubmit (of course an onsubmit method would need to be added to firewatir for the above line to work (or the existing js_eval method could eb used instead). HAVING SAID THAT: The form defined at www.monster.de does not have any buttons and does not have onsubmit defined in the form. so this sort of this thing: form(:index, 1).submit if form(:index, 1).onsubmit would not work. as Orde pointed out, the only thing that works for that form is fireing a click event on a specific link. browser.link(:id, 'ctl00_ctl00_searchBox_MessagizedButton1').click This link contains the on href "javascript:AjaxSearch_DoSearchRedirect ()". It is actually this function that ends up submitting the form. As there is no direct connection between this link and the form it is almost impossible for a mthod to identify this link as actually being the element that submits the form. This is a disaster if your software has to find forms and submit them on its own without knowing about them before hand. This problem seems to go from the hundreds to the millions very quickly - so, is there another solution. It seems that all the forms in question react to a keyboard return - i.e. they submit. The only thing is - firewatir does not have a way of fireing a keyboard event (as far as I know). If it did then i could imagine somthing like this working for every form: form(:index, 1).text_field(:index, 1).value="whatever" #fill in the form with something form(:index, 1).text_field(:index, 1).click #this should activate any onfocus event handlers on the page form(:index, 1).press_enter#(as apposed to click) Does anyone know how this could be achieved from within firewatir?

[wtr-general] Re: firewatir form submit working???
Hi Angrez,
No - what I am saying is that under some conditions form.submit does
not work.
I have found that it makes no difference if a form is within a frame
or not.
In general, it seems that some forms work with form.submit and some do
not - I just cannot figure out why.
