[wtr-general] Re: Need to get/retrieve value
appreciate your trying to help out.. The capcha thing is a good challenge, but so far the best solution for most folks is something like 1) don't test against production sites 2) employ a web.config setting or similar method to disable the actual captcha and use a static answer. 3) turn that setting on in the test environment. 4) avoid clients who don't realize that if you have something on your production site designed to prevent attacks on the site using automated scripts, it ALSO prevents testing against the same site using automated scripts. 5) if you can't do 4, find a really good, SIMPLE analogy you can use to explain why it won't work to the clueless client sir, its as if you put a door on the building that is designed to only admit living breathing humans, and specifically to keep out robots. Then you are telling me to make robot to go through that door, and start doing stuff inside the building if 5 doesn't work, then just start smashing your hand with a rock, it will hurt yes, maybe even more than dealing with the client, but at least you will be in control of the pain.

(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=1hpw 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) On Feb 23, 2:14 am, Tim Koopmans tim.ko...@gmail.com wrote: So let's just go easy on the guy! It's not an entirely unreasonable request, and not really up to us to judge it. It may well be legit! Depending on the quality of the CAPTCHA it may in fact be possible. But you'd probably have to wrap in an OCR library with some image processing (to TIFF) beforehand. For image processing I'd recommend rmagick[1]. For OCR you could look at gocr[2], ocrad[3] or tesseract[4] [1]http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/ [2]http://jocr.sourceforge.net/ [3]http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/ [4]http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ Good luck with that!

The purpose of a captcha is a challenge to prove that it is a human at the computer, to prevented scripted attacks on the site from spammers and the like. The site cannot tell a scripted interaction from a tester from a scripted interaction from a spammer or other attacker. if the client needs you to test against production then you need to test pages with a captcha manually, or they would need to temporarily disable the captcha for the duration of the test, or set it to use a fixed answer for the duration of the test. You CANNOT script against a working captcha without a human in the loop. That's the design and purpose of a captcha. And if you somehow found a way to do that, then the client needs a better quality captcha, because if you can figure out a way, so will the spammers. NOBODY who isn't a spammer is likely to develop a means to get around captchas because we know it would then be immediately
Re: Re: [wtr-general] how to get slectlist box option value
thanks All
I got this from this URL
http://rdoc.info/gems/watir/1.7.0/Watir/SelectList:option
Given the following html:
select id=gender
option value=UUnknown/option
option value=M selectedMale/option
option value=FFemale/option
/select
get the value attribute of option with visible text 'Female'
browser.select_list(:id, 'gender').option(:text, 'Female').value #= 'F'
or find out if the value 'M' is selected
browser.select_list(:id, 'gender').option(:value, 'M').selected #= true
* attribute - Symbol :value, :text or other attribute - how we find an item
in the select box
* value - string or reg exp - what we are looking for
just to inform Priya.
By your example it will not work because
browser.select_list(:name, phone_type).select(M)
Select(M) M is the value while here it required Text Mobile Phone
browser.select_list(:name, phone_type).select(Mobile Phone)
cheers :)

[wtr-general] Update on Watir Day 2011 - Sunday 3rd April - San Francisco
Hi Everyone, I thought I would send out an update on Watir Day 2011, in case you hadn't seen what's happening on the website and twitter. http://watir.com/watir-day/ Planning for Watir Day is full steam ahead. *Proposing a Talk* You can propose a talk which closes over the coming days. See: http://watir.com/watir-day/propose-a-talk/ *Tickets * Tickets are $50 each and on sale now. You can get a free ticket if you're coming from overseas, and / or presenting at the Watir Day. Also, you don't need to be attending Selenium Conference to buy a ticket. Oh, and you get a special Watir Day T-Shirt. Link to tickets page: http://watirday.eventbrite.com/ *Sponsorship * The thing I am most excited about is our sponsorship packages. For only $175, your employer or company can sponsor the day and get four included tickets free, valued at $200. This should make it easy to convince your employer to sponsor the day and send some people! http://watir.com/watir-day/sponsorship/ * Coming Up Next* Over the coming days/weeks, we plan to finalize the program including the speakers, and open space format: so stay tuned. If you have any further questions, please feel to contact me, and please spread the word!

If there are any problems then: 1) Fix it and send a pull request on Github, our main github repo: http://github.com/bret/watir This is the preferred way of accepting patches, we're happy to work with you on how to do this, github also has extensive docs on how to fork and submit a pull request. 2) Add it to our JIRA tracker: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR If you need help with that let us know.

I'm not sure how to communicate the removal of active support dependency properly because there will be probably failing tests due to the usages of active support without users even acknowledging it.
