[wtr-general] Re: New Rich text editor in our web app
Normally you want the file installed on the filesystem of the virtual machine. Pick something that makes sense to you, most folks use a directory that is 'close-by' to where they have their scripts, or maybe a 'lib' directory off the root. It's up to you. You could do something very similar to what you have on the mac and have a 'common' directory below wherever your are storing the scripts Then create an environment variable on the windows box called RUBYLIB that points to that directory On Jan 17, 6:49 am, Joe Fleck joeflec...@gmail.com wrote: So, my mac is set up with the files on it in this location [user/josephfleck/Sites/with/qa_automation/common].

If you have your own utility library that you are putting somewhere on the system, you just need to create that environment variable on the system, and point it to that directory and ruby should then find your stuff when you require it in the script.

seems like maybe the watirgrid is not starting up stuff based on watir- webdriver-performance since the method it thinks is missing is from that version of watir, and would be 'missing' in ordinary watir or watir-webdriver but I'm not enough of an expert in watirgrid to help you beyond stating the obvious thing you've probably already figured out.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir with a remote desktop
I had thought that the current versions of Loadrunner were up on current web tech, but it's been years since I used it. If you are running windows servers, then the loadtest tools that come with the 'ultimate' version of dev studio are generally the way to go. It does most of what loadrunner does (and more to some degree) in that environment and is far more cost effective. Great support too via the msdn forums. It's not practical to generate load using real browsers, it's also generally not necessary since all the server see's are HTTP requests anyway and can't really 'tell' if they are coming from a 'real browser' or not. Load tools also do a lot better job of instrumenting the system under test and can tell you if a disk queue is overloaded, a webserver is running out of memory, or any one out of hundreds of performance counters is out of a 'healthy' zone. In my experience it's that data that is key to figuring out where the constraints are so that the site can be improved to get to the performance levels required. You could use watir to measure the page load time etc when the server was under load, but in general a proper load tool, operating at the protocol level is far superior to trying to simulate a browser client. Even with a headless browser I think I'd have a hard time generating something like say oh 800 vusers worth of load from a single box, which is usually pretty easy with LR or VSTS. If you can see it 'going over the wire' in http format, you can generally simulate it with a good load tool. Usually it's mostly a matter of figuring out how to simulate any processing the client side code might be doing that actually affects what is sent over the wire. (most often it's just UI magic, and the key is knowing what parameters to look for and capture in the 'outbound' traffic from the server, so they can take their proper place in the requests sent back by the 'client' in subsequent requests. Yes you might be able to do some of that using watir-webdriver in a headless mode, but you would need to reinvent a lot of stuff such as how to feed unique parameters to each vuser, how to monitor transaction times and perf data, how to ramp up and ramp down load, etc etc On Jan 17, 9:03 am, Dan dfra...@gmail.com wrote: So, maybe it's not practical with real browsers to do performance testing with watir, but maybe it becomes more practical when you run the browser headless with watir-webdriver? Where I am we use loadrunner, but we're finding it challenging to deal with apps written using gwt. Obviously there's some nice metrics and reporting that come out of loadrunner, but for those cases where it's just not up to the technology like watir is, maybe it's a feasible option. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

That is especially common for stuff that is displayed or hidden according to mouse hover where that is controlled via a CSS psuedoclass If that is the case, there was a .hover method recently added to watir- webdriver in an attempt to address this, try firing that against the method first, then see if you can click it.

[wtr-general] Re: Not able to select table data inside an table which is having no unique identity.
For the first three things you listed, I see nothing with 'reportType' listed in the HTML you posted, so I have no idea what those are trying to do. For the the next three things you list, There's more than one table row in that table with the class of item which would cause two of those three to fail because they would be looking in the row wrapped around the 'Summary' cell and thus unable to find within that row a cell with text 'Detail' However on the face of things, this one here should have worked. $ie.table(:class, grid-btable).div(:class, comboboxpp).td(:text, 'Detail').click Knowing the exact error given for that one might be useful Looking at the entire HTML are you sure that the 'grid-btable' class is unique? and that within that the class 'comboboxpp' is also unique? by the looks of the HTML you may have a lot of nested tables there (I see two implicit and one inferred in the HTML you presented so it may be that you are having an issue getting the right instance of one of those. an easy way to test for this is to try something like this from an IRB prompt when you are on the right page $ie.tables(:class, grid-btable).size If there is only one, the size will be 1, if there's more than one, then that could be your problem.

I note this change listed which might impact that SelectList code rewritten, causing changes in its API However I don't see much in the way of details. Given that select_value is present in watir-webdriver I'm pretty sure those changes did not include removing that method (nor did your error indicate that is the case) good to have the report.
