[wtr-general] Re: watir help

[orde]

A couple of piggyback comments on the above.

a) first question about accessing elements in a frame:

browser.frame(:id, "foo").link(:href => /
productpref=catalog/).click# the example frame has no attributes,
so I guess you could use index...

b) lots of javascript in the second example, so you might need to
trigger the event:

browser.link(:id,
"foo").fire_event("onmouseover")#
mouseover is an example event handler

HIH.

For the first question, I would try these:
browser.link(:href => /productpref=catalog/).click
browser.link(:text => 'catalog').click

For the second question, I would try these:
browser.link(:text => 'Active').click
browser.link(:href => /List Catalogs/).click

Of course I wouldn't give up if those did not work, but I would try to

[Dave McNulla]

Watir can automate stuff (even if you aren't testing), but if you just want 
to automate a process with the fewest points of failure, skip the browser 
and go directly to the server. The gems Željko mentioned are great for that.

Argh. Wordpress.com refuses to keep Array even when I wrap it with
 tag.  just dissapears.

I have changed it to: "Watir::Select#selected_options no longer returns
array of strings, but array of Watir::Option objects". Please let me know

Re: [wtr-general] What Email Provider is best used with Watir?

[John Fitisoff]

Joe,

You should have an SMTP server at work. You can use something like Net::SMTP 
(or one of the higher-level libraries Željko described below) to send email 
using that SMTP server. I don't think you need to worry about Gmail or other 
mail services.  Here's an example of how to do it using Net::SMTP. Once you 
know the server name it's pretty easy.

The HTML spec recently (re-)-introduced the  element, so there's now
a Watir::Time class. Since you're inside the Watir module in your monkey
patch, that's what you're referencing when you do "Time.now". To access the
top-level constant, instead do "::Time.now".

watir-webdriver already has a helper for waiting, so you could instead do:

  Watir::Wait.until { execute_script("return jQuery.active") == 0 }

Thanks for the tip, but this is for distributing tests over  a
network. Can it be used to instantiate multiple browser instances on
the same machine, so have 3 Firefox instances run the same tests?

[wtr-general] What Email Provider is best used with Watir?

Hello Everyone,

What Email Provider is best used with Watir?  After reading several
posted discussion it seems that Watir and gmail can be difficult to
work with.  Has anyone had success with any other web mail providers?

Thank you,

[wtr-general] Re: watir-webdriver 0.5.2

[Abe Heward]

I just updated to 0.5.2. I then ran a script that was working yesterday and 
got this error:

NoMethodError: undefined method `now' for Watir::Time:Class

... caused by an admittedly kludgy custom method that I've written to 
extend the Browser class...

module Watir
  class Browser
def *wait_for_ajax*(timeout=5)
  end_time = *Time.now* + timeout
  while self.execute_script("return jQuery.active") > 0
sleep 0.2
break if *Time.now* > end_time
  end
  self.wait(timeout + 10)
end
  end
end

So, my question is: What changed to make this suddenly stop working, and 
how can I fix it so that it works again?
