[wtr-general] Re: Differences between watir and watir-webdriver
> > What are you using attach for, since you consider it a deal breaker? I too make heavy use of .attach() in Watir. In fact, all of my tests use it; of which there are hundreds. While window switching does work, it doesn't work (for me) when using test/unit; which I use extensively to run individual tests together with setup and teardown. For example; this won't work... require 'rubygems' require 'watir-webdriver' require 'test/unit' class Sampletest < Test::Unit::TestCase def setup browser = Watir::Browser.new :ie browser.goto "www.google.com" end def test_01_do_stuff # Perform a google search here end def teardown browser.window(:title => "Google").use do browser.window(:title => "Google").close end end end Watir's old method of 'browser = Watir::IE.attach(:title, "Google")' would work perfectly in the teardown; but not in watir-webdriver, as 'browser' is not a defined variable. I'm new to watir-webdriver, and do see that this is my route forward. So Any pointers here will as always be appreciated. GJHmf -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Removing reference to an element
Hi Guys, I am using watir-webdriver and as I understand, it stores the reference to an element once it's been defined. So I have this select_list that is disabled. In irb when I do browser.select_list(:how, :what).disabled? => true Then I select some option on the page which fires a Javascript and enables the select_list but when I do browser.select_list(:how, :what).enabled? I still get false as it still holds the reference to the old element and since the page hasn't refreshed it doesn't know its been now enabled by the javascript. Is there a way to delete the old reference Thanks, Rahul -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

In any case, calling browserselect_list twice will always relocate the element, so you're not holding on to any reference at all. Without seeing the code (HTML/CSS/JS/Ruby) in question, it's hard to tell why you're running into trouble, but some possible cases: 1. The .select_list call is not finding the element you think it is. 2. The disabled state is changing asynchronously, and you have a race condition. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Re: Differences between watir and watir-webdriver
Thanks very much. I've tweaked my actual script accordingly, and that seems to have done the trick. That's the one major hurdle overcome; I'll continue to play and assess watir-webdriver On Jan 31, 3:58 pm, Jari Bakken wrote: > Here's how I would do this: > > https://gist.github.com/1711291 -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Re: [wtr-general] problem with radio button after upgrade
Thanks everyone for the links, it's a big help. As usual, I had to switch off to other work, trying to get a big block of time to get back to getting our many scripts to work in the new Watir/Webdriver. One of my coworkers who is new to Watir is helping. The doc will be a big help to us. -- Lisa On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 3:44 AM, Jari Bakken wrote: > The watir-webdriver docs can certainly be improved (especially when it > comes to examples), but the standard API docs (for any ruby gem actually) > can be found on rubydoc.info, as Zeljko mentions: > > http://rubydoc.info/github/watir/watir-webdriver/frames > > As for the attribute methods on the element object, those are largely > created through metaprogramming and thus not picked up by the default docs > generator.

I guess you have a typo there - "Watir::Select#selected_options no longer returns Array, but Array". J.
