[wtr-general] Re: Manipulate Keystrokes on a MAC

[Ozzi]

Hi CJ Romberger,

I am running my tests on a MAC and the browser im running them in is
Firefox v3.6.10
Not only that but It will also work on Windows as well.

what you should try is...
Im assuming in your test there is a step where you are clicking a
button and then after clicking on a particular button the Javascript
popup appears

If you put the line:
@browser.execute_script('window.alert = function () {};')
BEFORE the step where you are clicking the button then what you are
actually doing is disabling the javascript alert function just before
it will be called...
Therefore you can run the rest of you test without the interruption of
the Javascript popup.

The same or similar logic can also be used for Javascript Confirm and
Prompt boxes. In my test i have similar code for Confirm boxes where
when the javascript confirm box appears it is always making it true
therefore always confirming what it was prompting you to do.

Hope this helps... it took me an age to figure out a solution...

Kind regards,
Usman Hussain

[wtr-general] running a test in a different language e.g. spanish

[Ozzi]

Hi Guys,

Bit of a random question...

But has anyone written a script and then used it to run in English,
Spanish, Italian etc...

What i mean is, has anyone run a script where all the button names can
be changed from English to another language like Spanish?

Is this even possible in Watir?

Do i have to write a wrapper type file to replace all the words with
ones that match up in Spanish?

This will save me time and avoid repeating code if i can just get the
test to change the keywords to spanish...

if you need more info then please let me know and i will try and
describe in more detail what i mean...

Kind regards,
Usman Hussain

Sure, there are ways to do this. I've tested sites in multiple
languages. There are a few libraries for localization in Ruby, take a
look for them. The basic premise is that you use tokens when referring
to visible text that get replaced by strings from various localized
files. Something along this vein:

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Read PDF with Ruby?????

[Charley Baker]

I have no experience working with pdf readers, but this looks like a
more interesting one: http://github.com/yob/pdf-reader Here's a site
that has some examples:
http://pullmonkey.com/2010/01/18/ruby-pdf-reader-gem-tutorial/

 That being said, as Chuck mentioned you might have better luck on the
ruby-core list if you run across problems or need help. While it's
come up a few times over the years on this list, it's not a common use
case for most Watir users. Ruby-core is bound to have more info.

[wtr-general] AutoITx3 works on one machine but not another for opening Excel files

[Schase]

I have a watir test that downloads some information from a web app to
an Excel file, and I then open the file to confirm the contents. On my
dev box everything works fine, but the scheduled automation runs (via
Hudson) always fail attempting to open the Excel file. I have checked
that the correct version of AutoITX3.dll is registered on both
machines (Ruby 1.8, Watir 1.6.5). No other versions of AutoITx3 are
registered on either machine. The error on the Hudson box is the one
expected if the dll is NOT registered, but it is present in regedit in
the same location as on my dev box. Both machines are WinXP. Running
the test manually on the Hudson box results in the same error --
unknown OLE server: 'Excel.Application' HRESULT error code:0x800401f3
Invalid class string.

I searched for similar errors and saw one instance here where running
on a virtual machine had caused similar problems, but only if the VM
window was closed. I don't think this is a code error since it runs on
the dev box. Any suggestions for debugging this?

TIA, Sabrina

Re: [wtr-general] AutoITx3 works on one machine but not another for opening Excel files

[Ethan]

I don't think this has anything to do with AutoIt, or indeed Watir - the
error is about excel, and looks like a WIN32OLE error.

Is Excel actually installed on your automation box? I've seen this error on
machines where Excel has not been installed.

If that's not the issue, you'll need to include more than the error message
- at a bare minimum include the full error class, stacktrace, and message,
and the code that raised the error. But if it's not actually anything to do
with Watir (and it doesn't look like it is), I don't know that anybody will
necessarily be able to help you here.

[wtr-general] Re: AutoITx3 works on one machine but not another for opening Excel files

[Schase]

Yes, Excel is on the machine and I am able to open up the file (which
downloaded correctly).  That's the only error I have, unfortunately.
I was hoping someone using Excel and Watir together might know of an
environment issue that could be causing the problem, since I agree it
doesn't seem to be the code ;-)  It never triggers on my development
box with all the nice debugging tools.
