[wtr-general] Re: Webdriver : when i have to grab the id using pattern match it fails for firefox
Hi,
I got the solution, i written code like this :
$ie.div(:class => "cell-inner overflow-hidden", :text =>
"bhavtest").click
And it works.
But there are some cases where only thing we can get is id which is
dynamic like an text filed:
.
Here it is only dynmaic id and not even any text.
I see two problems :
1. How can i enter text in this text field when i just have dynamic id
usng webdriver?
2. This particular html is present many times in a page, so to get
the ID, which is dynamic, it is very difficult. Here i cannot use
class as it is same in many text fields. If i club index here then it
is alos risky as many text fileds gets added/removed as applicaiton
developed.
So is there any way i can identify this textbox?
Right now i pattern match it with few lines above this code, i mean
right now page is like
"Name: ",
passwrod:"
So i pattern match with "Name:" then till this textfield. Grabs the
id and then enter text in it, like :
if /Name:.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*

[wtr-general] Re: Webdriver : when i have to grab the id using pattern match it fails for firefox
Lets backup a minute because I think you are going about this in a
very convoluted way based on something you figured out that works, but
may in fact be a bit of a kludge.
The div being clicked on contains a link, an image, and a span with
text.
First question, when interfacing with the site, how does a HUMAN know
what to click on? Is it the image being displayed? The text? the
combination of the two? or either?
If it's the text, then why not just select the div that way
b.div(:text => 'bhavtest').click
If it's the Image, then why not find that using a regex for the src
of the image, and then use .parent to locate the containing div and
click it?
b.img(:src => /your_regex_here/).parent.click
if it needs to be a parameter then replace the constants above with a
variable, or a regex object created from a variable
If it's the combination of the two things (image and text) then you
might have to be a bit trickier but it should still be possible and a
bit more straightforward than what you were doing.
Using ID's to identify something is great where that is something you
can predict, but otherwise, if you are using some other means to find
the thing you want, doing that in order to get the ID and then using
the ID to interact with the element is really just taking the long way
around. Instead (unless it's not supported) use the thing you know to
identify and interact with the element.

This is strange, and seems to get stranger as I dig at it. Let me
allow you to watch over my shoulder while I do a big of sleuthing here
I'm getting a similar error with the initial line of failing code
using IE9, I also get the SAME error in FF8 AND Chrome So it's NOT
browser specific.
b.div(:class => 'ss-form-entry').button.click
> Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: unable to locate element,
using {:tag_name=>"button"}
from C:/Rubies/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-
webdriver-0.3.8/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:253:in
`assert_exists'
from C:/Rubies/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-
webdriver-0.3.8/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:65:in `click'
The container div shows up clear as day in the IE and Chrome developer
tools, and a check for .exist? on it returns true.
while
b.div(:class => 'ss-form-entry').button.exist? #returns false
b.div(:class => 'ss-form-entry').button(:name => 'submit').exist?
#returns false
but
b.button(:name => 'submit').exist? #returns true
Digging my way up the DOM hierarchy one container higher
b.div(:class => "ss-item ss-navigate").button.exist? "returns true
Um? WTH this really seems strange, why is selecting it from the
parent div container failing, but from the parent of that container
works?
SO, is it really in that div? lets see who it thinks it's parent is
> puts b.button(:name => 'submit').parent.attribute_value('class') #returns:
> ss-form-entry
ok um how about selecting it via it's own parent (a bit circular but
still an amusing test
b.button(:name => 'submit').parent.button.exist? #returns true
What about via the grandparent using the same criteria for the parent
(looking for class etc)
b.button(:name => 'submit').parent.parent.div(:class, 'ss-form-
entry').button.exist? #returns true
very curious.. OK brain flash occurs. doing that restricted the
search for our container div to a much smaller section of the entire
DOM.. so perhaps, just.MAYBE that div is not unique?
Lets find out
b.divs(:class, 'ss-form-entry').size #returns 5BINGO Mystery
solved.
(was that sample code? we'll want to go revise it I expect)
BTW: from IE9 I can click the button just fine using either
b.div(:class => "ss-item ss-navigate").button.click
or
b.div.button(:name => 'submit').click,
but strangely enough (from IRB) I sometimes have to repeat the click
method a second time to actually have the object get clicked. That's
a behavior I've seen elsewhere using .click methods from IRB and I've
no idea what causes that to be intermittent like that. it tends to
always work from scripts so I have to think it's some kind of window
focus switching thing going on, potentially related to UI performance
since I'm using a windows VM running under virtualbox on a macbook..
point being, if you are doing stuff from IRB and a click fails, try it
a second time

[wtr-general] Re: Webdriver : when i have to grab the id using pattern match it fails for firefox
Ok,
Here is the line that im matching from source from IE :
https://vm-
bhaveshok2.kazeon.local/admin/images/
green_dot.png"align=absMiddle>bhavtest
My subroutine code is :
def clickFSlink(fsname="")
printClickInfo("clickfslink", fsname)
$_ = $ie.html
if /.*dot.png.*#{fsname}/
printIDInfo("FS ID", $1)
begin
$ie.div(:id , $1).click
rescue => e
rescueHandle(e)
end
sleep($deepSleep)
else
puts "FAILED! Could not find DatafsID"
return false
end
end
My script is :
require 'watir-webdriver'
require 'Lib/KazeonCommon/BasicMethodLibrary'
class test1< Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_
puts
"**"
printTestingReportHeader("I18N Regression Testing", "WEB_ADMIN")
puts
"**"
end
def test_0001
returnValue = true
$ie.goto($adminLink)
sleep(10)
#skipSecurity("Continue to this website")
kazeonLegalLogin("WEB_ADMIN", "Local", "admin", "kazeon")
sleep(5)
clickFSlink("bhavtest") ## Here it fails for firefox.
end
end
This works well in Ie, but when i use the same code by changing
browser to firefox, it fails.

[wtr-general] Re: Webdriver : when i have to grab the id using pattern match it fails for firefox
Hi,
Here is the source that get generated in IE:
https://vm-
bhaveshok2.kazeon.local/admin/images/green_dot.png"
align=absMiddle>bhavtest
https://vm-bhaveshok2.kazeon.local/admin/images/datafs.png";
border=0 z.type="zul.widget.Img">
datafs (nfs)
testkaz
ntap34
/vol/data/
bhavnfsdata2(tcp,rw)
0
online
##
Here im matching "bhavtest" which is actually parameter #{fsname}.
By matching this line, im collecting id div "z_bp_ud!cave"
Then trying to click on that div in UI --
browser.div(:id , $1).click
Now this source is generated differentily in Firefox, so this pattern
match failed, and im not able to use it.
Im using watir from last 2 years but always as a unit test framework.
I switched to Webdriver just now as a requirement and therefore i need
my previous code to be align to webdriver so that i can execute my
script on all browsers.
Can you help me out here?
Is there any way i can port all my scripts to webdriver?

[wtr-general] Button click in IE8 using watir web-driver.
Hello, I am just following this script on http://watirwebdriver.com/: require 'watir-webdriver' b = Watir::Browser.new b.goto 'bit.ly/watir-webdriver-demo' b.text_field(:id => 'entry_0').set 'your name' b.select_list(:id => 'entry_1').select 'Ruby' b.select_list(:id => 'entry_1').selected? 'Ruby' #~ b.div(:class => 'ss-form-entry').button.click -- This line gives 'element not found' error, so changed this to: b.button(:name => 'submit').click b.text.include? 'Thank you' The "b.button(:name => 'submit').click" does not work in IE8. I tried .focus and .flash and they work, but .click does not. It works correctly on chrome and firefox. I have also tried: b.button(:name => 'submit').fire_event "mouseover" b.button(:name => 'submit').fire_event "click" which again does not work. My protected mode setting is ON in all places and the pop-up blocker is OFF. I do not have a Google Toolbar that might block anything. Could somebody please help me find the problem here? Could you try this script on your IE8 browser and see if it works for you? Thanks, Prajakta -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
