[wtr-general] Watir 1.6.5 tests on IE8 - very slow execution

2011-04-21 Thread psdd 
Hi,
Environment: Windows 2008 R2 server, (default 64 bit)
Browser: IE8 (cannot downgrade since it is windows 2008 server)
Watir version : 1.6.5
Ruby version : 1.8.7

When watir tests are run, it is extremely slow and takes around 10-20
mins to complete a simple test which otherwise in IE7, windows XP
machine (32 bit), Ruby 1.8.6 would take 2 mins to execute.

Any ideas if IE8 is the issue or Ruby version.

Regards,
PS

I had installed watir 1.8 and could never get past wait statements
I have a lot of wait statements to wait for page after postback and
with watir 1.8, it used to indefnitely wait at wait statements. So
tried installing 1.6.5 and it worked but it is really v. slow.
I have used  Watir::Waiter.wait_until which had been used when the
code was written in watir 1.6.5
Basically am trying to run the same code on a different machine.

No.

Try something like this:

I do not have firewatir installed so I can not test it, but I remember using
it.

[wtr-general] Slow speed of filling of text area on watir-webdriver

2011-04-21 Thread the_zonker 
Hi guys!

Environment:
watir-webdriver 2.0.0
Ruby 1.9.2
Firefox 3.6, IE8

I faced with a problem - I need to put a content of XML file into text
area.
The content  is quite long and the process of filling is extremely
slow.

This slowness of filling causes a timeout error:

Timeout::Error: Timeout::Error
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:140:in `rescue in rbuf_fill'
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:134:in `rbuf_fill'

C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1160:in `request'


For putting value into text area I use:
  text_area.set(value)

Are there any other ways to fill in text area more quick?
I tried Javascript via execute_script method but JavaScript cannot
handle XML content (probably because of quotes) as a valid element
value.

This issue is reproduced both on Firefox and IE.

I appreciate any help.

It's a good practice to always try the latest released version before
reporting issues. watir-webdriver is currently at 0.2.2.

How long is the string? WebDriver simulates native key presses on some
platforms (like Windows), which may be slow.

Using execute_script should work. If you could provide an example
string where it doesn't work, I could probably help you out. Another
approach is to do what a user would do: paste in the XML from the
clipboard. If you have the XML content on the clipboard, you should be
able to do that by sending Control-V:

  text_area.send_keys [:control, 'v']

You should able to accomplish it through either .fire_event
or .send_keys methods.  Examples:

fire_event: 
http://rdoc.info/gems/watir/1.8.1/Watir/Element#fire_event-instance_method
send_keys: http://rdoc.info/gems/watir/1.8.1/Watir/IE#send_keys-instance_method

But I think that send_keys only works with IE.  Hope it helps.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Moving a window

2011-04-21 Thread Charley Baker 
My guess, not tested is that you'll have to fire an event on element in
Firewatir. This isn't the cleanest api right now, but scrollIntoView on IE
is a direct call into the underlying ole object. In Firewatir, it'd be a js
call, similar to this:
http://www.roseindia.net/javascript/javascript-scrollintoview.shtml on the
DOM element.

Something we definitely need a common api for, right now it's a leaky
abstraction in IE Watir. Can you add a Jira ticket for this?

Not so for watir-webdriver - they both use the same mechanism under
the hood (which in some cases means native key press events).

1) Upgrade to the latest Watir version.

2) Use -
Watir::Wait.until(2) {$ie.text_field(:name, "q").exists?}

This is an example waiting up to 2 seconds for the search box on the

2011-04-21 Thread Darryl Brown 
I don't personally use 'recorders' but tools like this are an immense
help for getting new team members up to speed until they get a grasp
on effectively using Firebug. There are no Watir recorders per se.
However, tools such as this one and Webmetrics offer help to new
testers that don't have a programming background and I think that they
should be encouraged for the purpose of capturing objects.


Babitha - If you want to easily share your version of the tool with
