[wtr-general] How to make the scripts more effective at slow connection?
Dear All: I am using Watir for automation scripts. But sometimes the scripts do not work properly due to slow internet connection. Actually When I was giving demo to my team members then it happened. Also at fast connection, sometimes the scripts does not get loaded and execution gets stopped due to some reasons. Please could you provide some solutions regarding to the same. Please tell me how to make scripts more effective. -- Thanks and Regards, Amit -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Watir 1.8.7 how to use cruisecontrol for an unattended job
Hi, I've been trying for almost a month now to get my watir scripts to run unattended on a windows 2003 server machine. They run fine if I'm logged in. It seems from what I've read that the best way to do this is to use Cruise Control. The only build tool i know is Maven and my knowledge is limited in that area. So I'm looking for a beginner tutorial to understand how i would set up Cruise Control to run my watir scripts unattended. I find it a bit weird that i need a build tool to do this because I don't really need my Watir scripts to return any results as they simply send an email to let me know if a certain area of our site is not working anymore. But if learning how to do this helps me to get this working, I'll try to put some time into it. So any help would be appreciated on the above! Thank you!

[wtr-general] Re: Watir 1.8.7 how to use cruisecontrol for an unattended job
We use Hudson/Jenkins for this and have been extremely pleased with the solution. It's easy to install, use, has great output. Scaling and adding additional slaves to run tests is a snap. It's got support for most of the major version control systems and you can use it to run scripts directly or trigger rake tasks. (It's a build tool too :) Thanks!

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Watir 1.8.7 how to use cruisecontrol for an unattended job
Hi Hugh, Any chance you could give me a quick overhead of how that would work with Hudson. We use Hudson here so it would be less of a learning curve but we don't run any Junit tests or anything like that yet so I've got no experience there. Also would i need to use rake as well?

[wtr-general] Re: Watir 1.8.7 how to use cruisecontrol for an unattended job
On the machine you want to run tests through, add it as a node to Hudson (we use java web start). The label you give it is how you'll identify the jobs it can service. Login to that node (eg remote desktop) and bring up the Hudson site in the browser on that machine. Find the node you created and hit the Launch button - that starts up the slave on that node and you should see a little dialog that you can minimize (you may need to install a JRE on the machine). Now create a job for the script you want to run and set the 'Restrict where the job can be run' and add that label you defined for the node. Set up the source control so it can check out your latest test code and then configure how you're going to build it. You can use a windows command and call the script directly. I'd start with just getting what you have working (you don't need to use rake and you can always do that later). You can manually start the build to make sure it works for you and once you have things running you can edit the job and trigger it to run nightly, on source control triggers, etc. You might need to get user permissions to do some of this, depending on how your Hudson site is set up. Also there are quite a few plugins and you may have to install some, depending on what Hudson currently has configured. There are ones that will support different source control systems (git, svn, cvs), rake, etc. Hugh -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] link activates popup blocker
I have this link that acts differently when clicked through my
automation and when clicked manually.
So, when I click it manually, it brings up a modeless dialog that I
can examine through firebug (I never get a warning from the pop-up
blocker, which is always turned on).
When I click it through my automation, it activates the pop-up blocker
-- I get a warning and the popup is not opened. If I turn off the pop-
up blocker, the dialog is never opened.
The html for the link:
p class=indented
Email:
a onclick=openEmailForm('media'); return false;
href=#me...@xyz.com/a
br
/p
the code I use to click the link:
if @browser.link(:text, me...@xyz.com).exists?
puts me...@xyz.com link exists
@browser.link(:text, me...@xyz.com).click_no_wait
puts clicked the link
it gets this far and the popup blocker shows it's warning
if the popup blocker is turned off, it just hangs here
if ! @browser.javascript_dialog.button('Cancel').click
puts me...@uptodate.com Dialog was not seen
errorFound = 'true'
if errorFound then errorCount += 1 end
end #Print Dialog
end #Close Popup
I tried this using both click and click_no_wait.
I'm not sure if I'm referencing the link correctly, but I tried using
(:text, #) and that didn't work.
Anne
