The way to get this value is as follows:

1) access the RDoc file for Watir  (http://rdoc.info/gems/watir/1.7.0/
frames)

2) look up the "selectlist" element

3) scan the documentation for selectlist until you notice that there's
a specific example given in this section
http://rdoc.info/gems/watir/1.7.0/Watir/SelectList:option
 which shows how to get the value given the displayed text.

4) write code based on the example given.

5) if that fails, ask on the watir group, providing sample of the HTML
(check, already did that), the code you tried, and the results you got
including any error messages.


The RDoc is your friend, many of the answers you seek are waiting
there for you to find, if you but search.

[Tim Koopmans]

Chuck actually I tend to agree with all your comments there. I've been
away from wtr-general for a while and am now amazed (after a week of
trawling) at the quality, or lack-thereof, of requests for help.

In hindsight, maybe he should just try
gem install captchavundarbarbreaker

Still, I always like a challenge and was tempted to put more thought
into it. Maybe next time =)

[wtr-general] Re: Need to get/retrieve value

[Chuck van der Linden]

Tim,

I'm not saying he's a spammer..  (but one could be watching)

I'm applying the LART with such vigor because he's been told about 4
times 'can't do that' and he keeps asking as if we're not telling him
the truth or the answer will somehow change, or there is some 'secret
solution' using some 'magic gem' that we're just not telling him
about.

(sh don't tell anyone, but if you find the config.sys file and put
"User equals-sign ID ten T" on the first line in that file that will
make it work)

and btw  if he CAN break the captcha using any of the tools you
suggest, I'd recommend he notify his client that they need a better
captcha, since if it wont stop him, then it's not likely to stop the
spammers.

BTW  want to know how spammers break captchas?  they crowdsource it.
They pay people in lesser developed nations something like a tenth of
a cent per captcha solved.  they use scripts that capture that part of
the screen, send the image to a system that sends it to someone logged
into to it who 'solves' the puzzle and sends the 'solution' back to
the spammer's script where it is entered and then they can submit
their spam.  since most captchas are just random numbers and letters
you dont even have to speak a foreign language to get such a job..

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/technology/26captcha.html?_r=1&hpw

So assuming that his client wants to pay for this service, there is a
way around it (which as I said, puts a human in the loop)

[wtr-general] Re: detecting elements of Overlay form in watir

[Chuck van der Linden]

As charlie said it's just a div that shows up for a while.  if you
know the properties of the div then you can check to see if it's
there.

Likely it's just being switched by some client side javascript from
being visible to not being visible.   If that's the case, again if you
know enough properties of the div you can use the .visible? method to
check and see if it's displayed or not..

[wtr-general] Re: EXCEL how to array only one value from a range when A=B

[Chuck van der Linden]

Yes as others have pointed out, theres no watir in anythng you
provided, what you have are questions regarding how to use ruby..

a few small tips in terms of (at least from what I've seen) are the
ruby way of doing some of the code you have

if nu=region
 This is asking if "setting nu equal to region" is true.. it will
always be true
 instead you want to use:
if nu==region

style wise,
Instead of  :
  rowcount = worksheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
  for j in 1..rowcount
{some code using j}
 end

use:
  worksheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count.times.do |j|
{some code using j }
  end

Instead of :
  num =worksheet.Cells(j, 1).value
  nu=num.round(0)
  if nu=region
puts worksheet.Cells(j, 2).value
  end

use:
  puts worksheet.Cells(j, 2).value  if worksheet.Cells(j,
1).value.to_i == region

[wtr-general] Re: Can Watir support PHP based technology?

[Chuck van der Linden]

Like Z I think I'm perplexed here as to exactly what it is you are
wanting to do.

If the problem is elements not found on the page,  and it works
'manually' from an IRB prompt, but not when you run the script, you
might need to insert a few sleep statements here and there in your
code to allow for client side code on the page to render things.
That' common with pages with lots of javascript or sometimes heavy CSS
formatting.

Unfortunately unless your page code specifically provides some way to
know when it is busy manipulating stuff, vs when it is done, there is
really no way for Watir to when the clientside operations are done.

An example of what I mean by that is what the site I'm testing does,
it has a little animated 'loading' graphic it displays when its doing
things like updating the page via jquery, or running any client side
scripts. This 'icon' resides in a div, and the system sets it visible
while clent side code is running, and then hides it again once it's
done.  It's there for the users really, so they will know something is
going on, but that doesn't mean I can't use it also.  So what I'm able
to do in my automation is have a method I call that looks like this

def sleepWhileLoading
 while browser.div(:id, 'masterprogress').visible?
   sleep 1
 end
end

in my scripts, anyplace that i might need to wait for the jquery stuff
to update the page, or any other client side scripting to finish, I
just call that method.

If that's not your problem then..  'An example would be handy right
about now'

[wtr-general] Re: EXCEL how to array only one value from a range when A=B

[Super Kevy]

I assume your trying to read the excel sheet and not write to it
First look for XLS.rb and make life easy, then follow this code
fragment
XLS.rb has some nice methods to make life easier.

Alternatives are using ruby-roo


require 'rubygems'
require 'watir'
require './xls.rb'

#
# Assume a spreasheet named theSpreadsheet.xls
# It contains A header in A1 'LOGIN' and data in A2..A10.\
# It contains a Header in B2 'PASSWORD' and data in B2..B10
# That cell range was named Lookup_Terms in the spreadsheet
# The worksheets page is named: Terms
# XLS.rb will return a hash array to the main
#

def loadSpreadsheetData
sSpreadsheet='theSpreadsheet.xls'
sSheetname='Terms'
sRange='Lookup_Users'# or A1..A10
myData = []
myData=xls_GetTheRowData(myData,sSpreadsheet,sRange,sSheetname)
# This is a method in xls.rb
puts ' - Data Set Details'
puts ' - Spreadsheet Source: '+sSpreadsheet.to_s
puts ' - Data Range: '+sRange.to_s
puts ' - Sheet Name: '+sSheetname.to_s
puts ' - Rows: '+myData.length().to_s
puts ' '
return myData
end

myUser=[]
myUser=loadSpreadsheetData
iExcel=0
myUser.each {
  sLogin=myUser[iExcel].fetch('LOGIN').to_s
  sPassword=myUser[iExcel].fetch('PASSWORD'),to_s
  puts ' - Login: '+sLogin
  puts ' - Password: '+sLogin
  iExcel=iExcel+1
}
exit

[Dave McNulla]

V,

Just do you know, this is not your automation technical support team. You 
will get more help if you ask questions in a polite way because everybody on 
this forum volunteers their time and answers. You will also get more help if 
you ask in the right group. There is a firebug group:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?lnk=srg&hl=en&ie=UTF-8#!forum/firebug

Good luck,

Dave

I am dealing with automation of the PHP web page.
It repeatedly gives the error Unable to locate the element

There are various fieldsets on the webpage, so before these fieldsets
the class, id elements gets traced but beyond it none is being traced.
Please Help..

I have no idea what would cause this. AFAIK none of our dependencies
have a loose dependency that would cause 1.0.6 to get installed.

186 ruby has an old version of rubygems. Try using 187 version of ruby or 
update rubygems manually. Instructions are at Watir.com under installation.

Sorry, thought this was another thread. :)

What do you get for `gem sources`?

I get this:

$ gem sources
*** CURRENT SOURCES ***

http://rubygems.org/
http://gems.github.com

To add rubygems.org:

gem sources -a http://rubygems.org/

>ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Do you have DevKit installed?

http://rubyinstaller.org/addons.html

If that does not help, you should install Ruby from
http://rubyinstaller.org/
