[wtr-general] How to pass variable to attach method

2010-09-06 Thread xulivan
Hi Folks,

I am going to pass variable to attach method to use general code to
support multiple scripts.
ie. @ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title,/.*MatchString.*/)

as we know, attach method can use :title or :url to attach. also, the
string to match I would like to use variable to support different
requirement. in this case, if I want to pass :url as how, and another
string variable as what in attach method.

I used irb to try this way, but no luck. Anybody can help me?
Your assistance is much appreciated.

[wtr-general] using Watir to open tab in current open browser

2010-09-06 Thread mattwatir
I have been trying to find out how to allow Watir to open a tab in a
current browser (which is already opened) with it opening a new
browser window... I am using Firefox as my browser...


Any information about this would be most helpful...

Never mind.
I passed the variable to attach successfully.
str=:title or str=:url
it works.

If I understood what you want, this should work (not tested):

how = :title
what = /.*MatchString.*/
@ie = Watir::IE.attach(how, what)

or

how = :url
what = http://stackoverflow.com/;
@ie = Watir::IE.attach(how, what)

Why do you care if a page is opened in a tab or in a window?

If the new page is opened after clicking a link, you could set firefox to
open links in a new tab instead of new window (preferences  tabs  open new
windows in a new tab instead).

How would you know which link to click if you were doing it manually?

In other words, is any portion of the link not changing?

[wtr-general] Minor changes to watir.com

2010-09-06 Thread Željko Filipin
I have just noticed this on watir.com:

They support Internet Explorer on Windows, Firefox on Windows, Mac and
Linux, Safari on Mac, Chrome on Windows and Flash testing with Firefox.

I have changed it to:

They support Internet Explorer on Windows, Firefox and Chrome on Windows,
Mac and Linux and Safari on Mac.

(Chrome is now supported with watir-webdriver on all platforms, and I could
not find any mention of flashwatir on watir.com, so I have removed it from
the home page.)

Please let me know if I have messed it up.

 Can anyone help me how to test flex apps using Watir

Introduction (the first page of Watir Tutorial) says: Watir will not work
with ActiveX plugin components, Java Applets, Macromedia Flash, or other
plugin applications.

http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Introduction

 I have found that
 using funfx is needed for flex apps.

Please post your question to funfx fourm/list then.
