[wtr-general] Re: Identifying objects when browser window has no toolbar
These are good suggestions. Years ago i had this same problem, and i was able to find a OLE method on the browser object that let me turn on the toolbars. Knowing, this i was able to use irb to turn it on.

What do you want to do?
You can use collections to see only elements that you are interested in:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Collections+of+HTML+Elements
browser.select_lists.each { |select_list| select_list.flash }
Since the page is simple, you can use index to locate elements:
browser.select_list(:index, 1).flash
Try this: open any page in IE, activate IE dev toolbar, close IE with dev
toolbar still open. When you open IE the next time dev toolbar should be
activated.

[wtr-general] Re: had to issue 3 'gem install watir' commands
Chris,
Thanks for the report. I think one source of trouble is that you are
using an older version of Rubygems. The newer version will automatically
install dependencies without asking, and i think it might also handle
some of your other troubles better as well.
What version of rubygems do you have? ("gem --version") -- I have 1.3.4.
You can update to the latest by doing "gem update --system" although i
think this can take some time, and there may be issues updating past
1.2.0.(details: http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=28071)
My guess is that this is happening a lot to people. Is there something
we might do to make this work better? Add a dependency on a new version
of rubygems? Appreciate all your thoughts.

[wtr-general] Re: Open and close Browser repeatedly leads to ie hanging
Bill, This is a good analysis of the problem. The method IE.new_process was specifically designed to avoid these problems. Personally, however, I wouldn't start and stop a browser for each test. This entails a lot of overhead, and really slows things down.

[wtr-general] Re: Open and close Browser repeatedly leads to ie hanging
I faced a similar problem a long while back - intermittently, when starting a new browser immediately after closing another, I would get an OLE exception. I never found the root cause, but if I remember correctly, I noticed that iexplore.exe continued to run for a short time after I called IE#close. So I tried doing the following, which solved the problem: - Start the browser, let its tests run, close the browser - Begin a loop that waits for iexplore.exe to exit - Don't start the next browser instance until iexplore.exe is gone This may not work for you if you need to have more than one browser running. But for me it was fine since I can only run one window at a time. :) Thanks Bill On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 3:23 AM, pallavi shashidhar wrote: > Hi There, > We have a couple of watir scripts that are run as regression suite on a CI > server (cruise control). > Have installed Ruby 1.8.6.26 and watir 1.6 with IE7. > System specification ; windows server 2003 edition, 500gb, 4gb RAM > > All the scripts are made independent and hence we have a start_browser and > browser.close at setup and teardown. > After a while, i find that ie keeps hanging and am not able to proceed > unless i close the browser manually and yet i see that the ie process is not > being killed. > This leads us to lot of RPC server unavailable errors: > > When the suite is run again, i get a lot of these errors: > > failed to create WIN32OLE object from `InternetExplorer.Application' > HRESULT error code:0x80004005 > Unspecified error (WIN32OLERuntimeError) > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:167:in > `initialize' > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:167:in > `new' > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:167:in > `create_browser_window' > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:91:in > `_new_window_init' > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:81:in > `new_window' > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:105:in > `start_window' > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:99:in > `start' > c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/watir/browser.rb:71:in > `start' > > Have tried one of the 3 solutions that Bret has mentioned i.e, > Create an additional IE.

[wtr-general] Re: Hudson, was Re: Dwatir - Can this help running watir tests on remote machines?
I've also had some thoughts about running tests in parallel and I'm thinking currently that it should be relatively easy to implement your own system with DRb (Distributed Ruby - http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/drb/rdoc/index.html). Maybe I don't see some issues which might come with it, but currently it doesn't seem so bad idea at all.

Hi Pallavi, It seems you are continuously opening and closing ie windows. 1.

[wtr-general] Open and close Browser repeatedly leads to ie hanging
Hi There, We have a couple of watir scripts that are run as regression suite on a CI server (cruise control). Have installed Ruby 1.8.6.26 and watir 1.6 with IE7. System specification ; windows server 2003 edition, 500gb, 4gb RAM All the scripts are made independent and hence we have a start_browser and browser.close at setup and teardown. After a while, i find that ie keeps hanging and am not able to proceed unless i close the browser manually and yet i see that the ie process is not being killed. This leads us to lot of RPC server unavailable errors: When the suite is run again, i get a lot of these errors: failed to create WIN32OLE object from `InternetExplorer.Application' HRESULT error code:0x80004005 Unspecified error (WIN32OLERuntimeError) c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:167:in `initialize' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:167:in `new' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:167:in `create_browser_window' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:91:in `_new_window_init' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:81:in `new_window' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:105:in `start_window' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:99:in `start' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/commonwatir-1.6.2/lib/watir/browser.rb:71:in `start' Have tried one of the 3 solutions that Bret has mentioned i.e, Create an additional IE. As long as this lives, the IE server will continue to live and you can close and create IE windows without worry. Inspite of having done this, i get the errors. We cannot completely avoid opening and closing of browsers as more and more scripts are added to the regression suite. What could be the reason for ie to hang and how can that be avoided?

[wtr-general] Re: Capturing Java Script Errors
We are using RSpec to run our tests (http://rspec.info) and I've created my own HTMLFormatter class which extends their Spec::Runner::Formatter::HtmlFormatte and then using #extra_failure_content method, which will be invoked if some test fails by RSpec itself. So, if test fails, I'm also checking if page had any JS errors and then make a screenshot of it. Otherwise (if test passes) JS errors will be ignored.
