[wtr-general] Re: how do I select li link with id from a jquery dynamic list
Yes, but why are you trying to click on a link inside of the button?
Should't you just click on the button itself? And isn't it already present
at this stage, e.g. shouldn't ie.button(:src, /btn_continue.png/).click just
work?

But the problem was in the end that you clicked on the li, but you
had to click on the link inside of the li. This code works for me:

all the ul and li are dynamically generated by the server (jquery). so

By looking at you html then indeed, the ul is empty. As long as it's
empty then you can't find the li :) Are you sure that the li should be
there? Maybe it's a timing issue. Try something like this:
# do something to trigger the popup
wait_until {div(:id = industry).ul.lis.size 0}
What happens? Can you see that the list is filled and does it still
timeout? Anyway, i suspect it is a timing issue - just find out some
nice
way to say to Watir that wait as long as this condition is met meaning
that
the list is loaded properly. As long as the ul is empty and there
should be
li-s in there, Watir can't find the li's. Also, remember that Watir does
most of the things a lot faster than you can do manually and having
JavaScript in the game means that there could be some race conditions.
Good luck!

[wtr-general] questions from newbie
Hi folks, Please welcome the newest user of watir! I just heard about watir when searching for web automation, and after reading some how-to articles, I was quite excited with my first script running below (run fine in ubuntu x86, havent tried in mac or windows yet): CODE START #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'rubygems' require 'watir' require 'nokogiri' #require 'watir-webdriver' #start the browser up #browser = Watir::Browser.new :chorme browser = Watir::Browser.start https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail; #pass in current page's html to nokogiri for parsing page_html = Nokogiri::HTML.parse(browser.html) text = page_html.xpath(.//*[@id='quota']).inner_text while((text.to_f)7621.00) page_html = Nokogiri::HTML.parse(browser.html) text = page_html.xpath(.//*[@id='quota']).inner_text puts text sleep 2 end CODE END Since I am totally new to watir, I would appreciate any one helping me with my questions below: * Main advantage of watir compared to traditional method (manual crawling), as far as I understand, is to reduce the number of automated queries sent to the interested page. With what I am doing above, am I doing it right? Is it considered as one query each time when I call page_html.xpath(.//*[@id='quota']).inner_text? If not, then anyone can explain to me how it is working? * I have the feeling that the code above works as to extract infos from HTML code, whereas the quote produced from gmail is from a javascript. Is there a way that I capture infos from javascript instead of HTML code? * Now if I want to *detect* the change of quota, meaning I want a kind of *real-time* code that reports me quota anytime when quote on gmail changes its value. Anyone can recommend me how to achieve that? Thanks so much in advances, and sorry for many questions. D. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Re: [wtr-general] run watir with ruby 1.9.2
I don't know about the latest ruby, but it definitely runs with 1.9.2p180. To keep things simple, uninstall 1.8.7 (especially if you're on windows), and install the desired version of ruby. From there you can install watir the same way you did for previous versions. gem update --system gem install watir On 2011-08-30, at 10:36 AM, ottoman wrote: Hi, I have installed watir and ruby 1.8.7 as suggested watir.com.
