Great! We should get money from Microsoft for all the work we've done to

Re: [Wtr-development] [wtr-general] Re: Check out the Watir Stack Exchange site!

[Bret Pettichord]

Hey there. I am just catching up on some emails from when I was on vacation
and this is one of them.

I am sorry that the Watir Stack Exchange site did not work out.

I like the idea of encouraging people to use Stack Exchange.

However, I don't think that we as a community have to choose between using
watir-general or stack exchange. We can use both.

Zeljko, if you personally only want to support Stack Exchange then go for
it. I think each of the Sheriffs should also make their own decision about
what they want to support.

[Bret Pettichord]

Please make a proposal for the method names and parameters.

Here is what we have for IE right now.
http://github.com/bret/watir/blob/master/watir/lib/watir/cookiemanager.rb

I've never used it. I would like to hear from some people who have. What 
functionality do you use the cookiemanager for?

[wtr-general] Re: install for 1.6.2 doesn't work after 1.6.5 release

[Bret Pettichord]

Alan,

You are seeing a problem that we also saw with Watir 1.6.5RC1. We fixed 
it in the first 1.6.5 by changing the way watir does dependencies.

Here are the dependencies for Watir 1.6.2

C:\work\common_ground>gem dependency watir
Gem watir-1.6.2
  win32-process (>= 0.5.5, runtime)
  windows-pr (>= 0.6.6, runtime)
  activesupport (>= 0, runtime)
  commonwatir (= 1.6.2, runtime)
  firewatir (>= 0, runtime)

The problem is that Watir 1.6.2 will use FireWatir 1.6.5, which runs 
into a conflict with the common watir gem.

My thought at the moment is that we should release a Watir 1.6.3 that is 
the same as 1.6.2, but with the dependencies declared correctly. Because 
I know people are going to want to go back and forth between 1.6.5 and 
1.6.2.

Thoughts?

Actually, I think I know the problem. There was a bug with autoit

[wtr-general] Re: What's the difference between FireWatir1.6.5 and Watir1.6.5

[Bret Pettichord]

Here is a page that documents the differences.
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Firewatir+Compatibility

It needs to be updated for the latest release.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir 1.6.5 is released

[Bret Pettichord]

Thanks for getting this out Charley.

This release represents about a year of work on bug releases and 
incremental improvements to Watir's support for both Firefox and IE. For 
complete details, see 
http://github.com/bret/watir/blob/master/watir/NEWCHANGES

I'm really glad that Charley agreed to take the lead in getting this 
release out the door. Big thanks also go to Jari Bakken, who provided 
numerous fixes. Other contributors to this release include Angrez Singh, 
Derek Berner, Rob Alred, Željko Filipin, Jarmo Pertman, Aidy Lewis, Alan 
Baird and many others. (If you made contributions to this release, but 
did not get credited, please let me or Charley know and we'll update the 
release notes right away.)

[wtr-general] Re: Really....Ruby + Watir + Command Line

[Bret Pettichord]

My guess is that the browser is not actually on the google page at this 
point. You could use statements like this to help troubleshoot:

  puts browser.text
  puts browser.url
  puts browser.title

[wtr-general] Re: Really....Ruby + Watir + Command Line

[Bret Pettichord]

You posted a stack trace earlier. This is displayed after the error 
message. If you are still getting exactly the same stack trace, then you 
are still using the old version of watir. A new version of watir will 
result in a somewhat different stack trace.

You can type "set" at a command prompt to see your environment variables.

Why do you say that you don't think it is a permissions issue? To me, it 
suggests you don't have access to the document object. How do you 
interpret the error message?

[wtr-general] Re: Exception thrown while iterating table

[Bret Pettichord]

Vishal,

I will rephrase your code in a pseudo code in a way that highlights the 
problem with your code (since the error has gone unnoticed by others).

Go through each row in a table on this page,
  if the row has a Booking ID,
  Then click the search button (going to a new page)
  then go to the next row (on the old page, which is no longer in 
the browser -- hence your error)

This is a common problem that people run into. The problem, in short, is 
that if you are iterating through elements on a page, you need to stop 
iterating as soon as you click a button or do something that will cause 
a new page to be loaded.

Is this clear?

Bret

[wtr-general] Re: How to install a forked gem of safariwatir from github

[Bret Pettichord]

Github used to serve up gems, but no longer is building/serving new 
gems. So you'll need to clone the repository and build/install the gem 
manually.

Hope this helps.

[wtr-general] Re: Ci_reporter on watircraft

[Bret Pettichord]

Robert,

I am not in a position to support watircraft right now. A group of 
people has been in discussions with me privately with plans to take over 
support and development of watircraft. We reached an agreement, and I 
have been hoping that they'd make an announcement, but I can't speak for 
them.

I think we need a page called "Support" at http://watir.com/

It should include Watir General, IRC, Jira and Stack Overflow. Some of 
this stuff is on the community page already. Maybe the community page 
could focus a little more on how to help (rather than get help).

I also think you are getting frustrated with some of the questions here. 
I suggest that you see if maybe you can just reply less to requests that 
annoy you. That's what I'm doing.

We've been teaching the larger community to ask questions here for 
years. If you ask a Watir question on one of the Ruby forums, you will 
likely be sent here.

I'm still trying to understand the pros and cons of stack overflow. 
You've convinced me to spend more time there. If you personally think it 
is better and would prefer using it, you can tell people that that is 
the best way to get an answer from you.

[wtr-general] Re: ie.modal_dialog(:title, 'Tile') problem

[Bret Pettichord]

I did a little research on this issue. There does appear to be a bug 
using this code with IE8 -- the title changed from "Web Page Dialog" to 
"Webpage Dialog" and the Watir code has not been updated to handle this. 
However, rereading your original post makes me think you are using IE7. 
Can you confirm this?

You said that

@ie.modal_dialog.title()

works. What does it say the title is?

[wtr-general] Re: Watir, AutoIT, Window Title and Regular Expression

[Bret Pettichord]

My guess is that AutoIt has been updated since it was originally 
packaged with Watir. AutoIt itself is not open-source software, so we 
have to look at licensing issues before updating what we use.

There is a "page_container" instance variable that will contain a

[wtr-general] Re: Can't install Watir on latest Ruby one-click installer

[Bret Pettichord]

No. I think Aslak is running the new Technology Preview of the one-click 
installer. They are using the ming32 compiler instead of Visual Studio.
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167&release_id=38052

This sounds like an issue. We're also going to need to recompile Watir's 
support for modal dialogs.

I really like the tone of that page. Maybe we could modify our support 
page to sound a little more like this.

[wtr-general] Re: Error occured while working with firefox browser

[Bret Pettichord]

There was also a warning on the page that said that you could not run 
the unit tests from a gem installation.

Since this meant that step 4 would never work, however, i decided to 
remove step 4 (and the warning) from the page.

What happens after you click the button? Does the window close? That 
will cause the "while b.link..." code to fail, because "b" doesn't exist 
any more.

[wtr-general] Answering incomplete requests

[Bret Pettichord]

This is a note to those of you who are answering other people's 
questions here. The rest of you can stop reading.

Really. If you stay I'll just hurt your feelings.

Ok. We need to have a frank discussion. We're getting a lot of crappy 
questions.

There are a lot of requests for help coming in where the requester is 
posting way too little information for any one to possibly help them. 
And what's worse, you ask for more info and they reply with a lot of 
blather, but don't actually give you the information that we need to 
answer their questions.

I've been getting sucked into this myself lately. I feel bad for them. I 
want to help. "When you say it doesn't work, are you getting an error 
message?" How many times do we need to ask this here? And then they 
reply, telling us they tried something else, but it didn't work either, 
and they still don't give us an error message! Or they give us just part 
of the error message. Or they leave out the stack trace. I guess they 
assume that because the stack trace looks like a bunch of gibberish, it 
won't help us either. You'd almost think that maybe they don't know 
anything about testing software or how to write a bug report.

I learned how to extract a stack trace from a core file 20 years ago so 
that I could include it in my bug reports. With Ruby it just gets 
printed out. It's just a matter of cut and paste.

"Can we see your script?". "Have you read the FAQ?" "What have you 
tried?" -- How many times do we have to ask these questions?

What can we do about it?

1. Stop responding to incomplete requests. Maybe they will repost with 
more information. Maybe not. Anyway, just ignore them.
2. Humiliate them and question their right to claim to be a tester if 
they can't even report a problem correctly. Make it clear that Watir is 
only for testers who have some basic competence.
3. What else?

Bret

This is interesting. You might be interested to see the list of

[wtr-general] Re: Team (was: Sai)

[Bret Pettichord]

I think the problem is with the title. The first group are the "Core 
Developers" not "Developers"

The core team of developers is the group of people actively working on 
the release of new versions of Watir. These people add significant 
features and commit many features contributed by others. I have listed 
this group before on this list. The people who have been active core 
developers of Watir/FireWatir over the past year are:

Bret Pettichord
Charley Baker
Angrez Singh
Jari Bakken

This is evidenced by the commit logs.

I think it is confusing to just call these people "developers" because 
there are lots of people who contribute code to watir. I would like us 
to recognize the core developers for the significant time and energy 
that they have put into the project.

We say this because of a click-no-wait bug in 1.8.6-27. FYI, this bug is 
fixed in watir 1.6.5 (forthcoming).

I think I'm running the latest version of Watir: 1.6.5 rc1 or thereabouts.

[wtr-general] Re: had to issue 3 'gem install watir' commands

[Bret Pettichord]

Chris,

Thanks for the report. I think one source of trouble is that you are 
using an older version of Rubygems. The newer version will automatically 
install dependencies without asking, and i think it might also handle 
some of your other troubles better as well.

What version of rubygems do you have? ("gem --version") -- I have 1.3.4. 
You can update to the latest by doing "gem update --system" although i 
think this can take some time, and there may be issues updating past 
1.2.0.(details: http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=28071)

My guess is that this is happening a lot to people. Is there something 
we might do to make this work better? Add a dependency on a new version 
of rubygems? Appreciate all your thoughts.

[wtr-general] Re: Open and close Browser repeatedly leads to ie hanging

[Bret Pettichord]

Bill,

This is a good analysis of the problem.

The method IE.new_process was specifically designed to avoid these problems.

Personally, however, I wouldn't start and stop a browser for each test. 
This entails a lot of overhead, and really slows things down.

We use ci-reporter to emit xml. This works with either Test::Unit or 
Rspec (or Rasta).

Then we use this action in Hudson to pull in the results:
* Publish JUnit test result report

This works fine with the XML that ci-reporter generates.

[wtr-general] Re: watir tests are not passing on my environment

[Bret Pettichord]

My guess is that this is Ajax code and that a robust fix would be to add 
some calls to "wait_until".

I also suspect that your new environment is using a faster browser 
and/or version of watir and that this is why you are now seeing timing 
problems.

Bret

P.S. The other solution might be to litter your code with sleeps. Just 
kidding!

This is where hudson excels. You can also run tests manually through 
hudson (to answer the question you asked in a previous post). There is a 
"run now" button. I believe it is also scriptable.

Strongly urge you to take a look at it.

[wtr-general] Re: Dwatir - Can this help running watir tests on remote machines?

[Bret Pettichord]

We use hudson to run our tests on multiple machines. It automatically 
distributes tests to an unused machine.

Good idea. "browser.status" will report the status message. Could you 
check this out and let us know if it has promise?

In this case, i would recommend using plain old "click". I have not seen

[wtr-general] Re: Unable to create a new IE instance

[Bret Pettichord]

60 IE instances is a lot. My first guess would be that IE7 uses more 
memory that IE6 and that therefore you can't create as many instances of 
it. You might consider getting more RAM to fix your problem.

Mostly that consists of variations on using AutoIt.

I'm looking for more creative approaches.

E.g. as regards this dialog:
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Security+Information

I got rid of this simply by changing the security setting of the browser 
(manually) to stop displaying this window.

I know that there must be some hook that is available to trap the 
javascript errors. If you have Visual Studio installed, instead of 
getting this dialog, the visual studio debugger is started up. So there 
is a hook there.

I was thinking it would be cool to hook in our own code to that hook, 
and was wondering if any one had already done this.

[wtr-general] Re: watir:buttons returns only 1st button

[Bret Pettichord]

Thanks for the report. This is duplicate of WTR-175, which has been
open for some time. Would someone like to look into fixing it?

The watir button/buttons methods support both kinds of HTML buttons.
Or at least they have and they should.

Another problem is that github only allowed one gem per project. We
currently have three.

I think my replies were out of order with your emails. At this point I
think that all the important information on the one page is already
duplicated on the other. Namely the page with the Class, element,
method list. If we don't need to document the class names, then you
can just drop the second page.

Again, my original comment was made before I realized how much work
you've been doing recently to reorganize these pages. I had not been
reading this list for some time, and responded in the order that I
read through it.

I think we should treat comments just like the other information on
the page. If they seem irrelevant or confusing, they should be
deleted. If they make suggestions which have been addressed, they
should be deleted. I do this sometimes myself.

BTW, I have a comment for others. I really think that Zeljko should be
thanked for all the work he does to keep the wiki up to date. Could
you please join me in thanking him?

But how do the class names help with this? To me the method names and
the elements supported are user-level information. But the class names
really have to do with how Watir is structured, which is sometimes
ugly inside, but shouldn't matter to most users.

I am worried that this information is being presented in a way that
might lead users to think this is something they should know, and
therefore make Watir look more confusing than it needs to.

[wtr-general] Re: Can't seem to install watir on the MAC

[Bret Pettichord]

The mac install is confusing. Right now, "watir" only works on
windows. But "watir" is installed when you install firewatir on mac.
It all really depends on what you mean by "watir".

We will fix this on a future release. But right now, you have what you
need, and the "watir" example code will work for you.
Watir::Browser.new, etc etc will do the right thing.

No. don't use caps with require. Use
  require 'watir'
or, sometimes (but usually not needed):
  require 'watir/ie'

The collection looks useful, but something is confusing about the
parentage of the collection. Look at the breadcrumbs on these pages.

[wtr-general] Re: Elements supported by Watir

[Bret Pettichord]

Because Frame is not a subclass of Element.

I am curious as to why you find this information helpful. If you want
to know the class of an element, you can always do

> browser.text_field(:id, 'foo').class
