Re: [wtr-general] Re: How to create a file and save it.
When you have installed Ruby, there is a man doc, I think for the newbie, you can study a lot from it, and it is really basic but important. Wesley. For life, the easier, the better.

[wtr-general] get value from password type text-field
Hi all, I am testing(using Watir) a web-form that has many text fields in it.One of the text-fields is a password type text field. The text-field's HTML is: The requirement is to check if the default password that is there on the text-field is a valid password or not. For this i need to get the value from that text-field. I tried the follwowing: passwordValue = $ie.text_field(:id, idPassword).value However, passwordValue has a value 1 in it.It is not giving me the exact value of the password. Is there any other way to retrieve the value from a text-field that is of type password? -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.

[wtr-general] Re: How to create a file and save it.
With respect, file manipulation is a basic feature of Ruby. WATIR is a testing library/tool that makes use of the basic built-in Ruby functionality. That is the distinction that is being made. In your case, you would need to design a way to locate the Order Id, temporarily assign that value to a variable, open or create a text file, and finally write this value to the file. Which step in that process are you having difficulty coding? Thanks, Adam On Jun 3, 9:17 am, meaculpa wrote: > Its WATIR specific only.

[wtr-general] Re: Problem with a listbox that populates to many data
Marlon, Perhaps checking the browser's status bar to see that the status is "Done" may work. I've run into similar situations when testing SOAP applications where a user interaction on one element on the page triggers the population of a select list. If you're app is written well, the status text will be changed from "Done" when the trigger event occurs, and will not be set back to "Done" until after the select list is populated. If that's the case here try putting a loop into you code between the trigger event and the line that tries to access your select_list item. Here's a simple example, with a timeout option so that it doesn't loop forever: # Trigger your event that populates the select_list sleep 1 # Add a short delay to allow time for the status bar text to change from "Done" # Define a starting value for the timeout iTimeout = 0 # Loop until the status bar text to changes back to "Done" or the timeout is exceeded while((browser.status != "Done") || (iTimeout != 10 ) do sleep 1 iTimeout +=1 # Increment the timeout value end # Access your Select list Joe On Jun 3, 1:35 am, Marlon wrote: > Hi, > > I'm having a problem with my script due to performance issue with the > site.

Re: [wtr-general] How to create a file and save it.
Watir is really a tool for interacting with web applications. For what you want to do, you may want to rephrase the question as being Ruby-specific and not related to Watir. Further, you may want to invest a little time researching your problem. There are plenty of resources available to help you solve this problem. An initial hint is to google for 'ruby creating text file'. After that, once you have some code, you may want to reach out to a Ruby mailing list for further help. But, note that when you do reach out for help, there is going to be an expectation that you have specific questions that you're not able to solve rather than a blanket request for help.

[wtr-general] Nil Class error
I have a piece of code as follows.
Here after the Save button is clicked a pop-up appears with an OK
button.
The pop-up needs to be clicked(on the OK button) or closed for the
script to run further.
This piece of code is run in iterations.It runs fine for a few
iterations(say 2 or 3) and then gives a NilClass error at line
indicated by **
###The Code##
g.save.click_no_wait #Click on the Save button
Watir.autoit.WinWait('Windows Internet Explorer') #Wait for the
pop-up
windw_exist = Watir.autoit.WinExists('Windows Internet
Explorer')#Check if the pop-up exists
puts "Window Exist = #{windw_exist}"
windw_active = Watir.autoit.WinActive('Windows Internet
Explorer')#Check if the pop-up is active
puts "Window Active = #{windw_active}"
Watir.autoit.WinClose('Windows Internet Explorer')#Close the pop-
up
#g.jsClick('Windows Internet Explorer', 'OK')
Watir::Waiter.wait_until(5) { g.edit.exists?}** #Wait
for the Edit button to appear.
g.edit.click #Click on the Edit button
#The End##
The actual error seen is as follows

My queries
1)What value is being returned Nil.
2)How to check the parameter that is returning the nil value.
3)Is it the Edit button.exists that is being shown nil?
4)Should the wait_until time be increased?
Kindly let me know the answers to the above queries.
Please let me know if you need more information on this.
Thanks in Advance

[wtr-general] Re: AutoItX3 failing on virtual machine when remote desktop window minimized/closed
Most virtualization platforms have an option for a connection that
looks to the virtualised OS like the 'console' and is thus treated
differently by the OS than a RDP session.
For example Hyper-V provides a way to connect to the VM via Virtual
Machine Manager (or at least one sidebar gadget) and it appears to the
VM that you are at the physical 'console' of the system.There
might be enough difference from such a session and your normal RDP
session that stuff could continue to work (I've not tried it)
Unfortunately that capability only works from a system with more
recent MS security, e.g. Vista, Win7, or Server2008 so you'd not be
able to do it on your xp laptop in any case.

[wtr-general] Problem with a listbox that populates to many data
Hi, I'm having a problem with my script due to performance issue with the site. The application has a Listbox that populates to many data resulting to a poor load time. I already used wait_until but it didn't help because the objects were already loaded but the data it not. One solution I can think of is to wait until the data on the listbox is completely loaded then perform the next operation, but how can I do it?
