Re: [wtr-general] Clicking links that use non-english characters
Note, I haven't tested this under watir and speaking with regard to general
string handling under ruby 1.9.
Try to update the encoding to something that supports DBCS, such as UTF-8.
This can be done either at the global level by:
Encoding.default_internal='UTF-8'
Encoding.default_external='UTF-8'
Or you can perform the operation on the string itself:
browser.link(:id, 'Tovább'.encode('UTF-8')).click

Re: [wtr-general] Set a text in div with js text field
Are you sure you have the terminology right? There's no such thing as a div text field.

Re: [wtr-general] Clicking links that use non-english characters
One other things you could try is get the escape sequence for UTF-8 which
represents the characters in question and use that in your script. For
example:
require 'watir-webdriver'
b = Watir::Browser.new
b.goto('http://www.sociology.emory.edu/globalization/nonenglishlinks.html#1
')
puts b.blockquotes.first.text
= NGO (Erkl\u00E4rung von Bern) focusing on fair economic relations and
cultural exchange between Switzerland and developing countries; has
information on trade and culture
In this example if you wanted to verify the german text for the first
blockquote on the page you would use:
Erkl\u00E4rung
instead of:
Erklärung
where \u00E4 == ä
I'm sure there must be tools out there to help translate displayed fonts to
the unicode representation, you might want to google for such.

Re: [wtr-general] webdriver javascript pop-up
I've found that the fire_event can be very problematic which
extensions/alerts is using. watir-webdriver will be updated to use
selenium-webdriver's switch_to in the near future. But in the mean time you
can take a look at handling this buy adding an alert box helper to Watir:

Then you can do stuff like:

@browser.alert_box.dismiss

On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 3:01 PM, Chuck van der Linden sqa...@gmail.comwrote: I think I sense another watir podcast opportunity. Cliff, what you have provided is good info, but might be a little bit towards the deep end of the pool for testers who are just learning to script with Watir and get a bit out of their depth once you start talking about classes, and close to complete confusion once you start talking about 'modules' I think it might be handy to have an outline at a fairly high level of things like 'what goes where' and how the pieces fit together. That's all second nature to you since you designed the framework, and it might not be that hard for someone who has worked with one or two other frameworks to grasp, but for the beginner it's just sort of overwhelming and hard to know how and where to start. I'd like to see a lot more people make use of some of the great work that's being done on frameworks to allow effective testing with watir, and integration with other tools like rspec, cucumber, minitest, etc. Most experienced folks know that these things are the path to effective automation that can scale and grow and not become UN- manageable. Being able to leverage things like existing reporting tools etc also prevents you from having to reinvent a lot of wheels that are already out there. However one of the very strengths of watir (that you can dive in with almost zero prior programming/ scripting experience) also tends to create a steep learning curve and barrier to entry when it comes to choosing or adopting a framework. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] ANNOUNCING WHIRWIND: cucumber + watir-webdriver + best practices
What is whirlwind https://github.com/ccyphers/whirlwind? It adds a few
aspects to cucumber, rspec and watir, resulting in sensible best practices
where one can write more automated test cases in a reliable way without the
framework getting in the user's way. This is accomplished by having flow
objects automatically created for you so there's no manual steps such as:
@demo_homepage = Demo::HomePage.new.
From rspec definitions and flows you can call screen_shot('some image
description') and the image will be included in the html report residing
under sites/site_name/results. See an example report
https://cyberconnect.biz/opensource/whirlwind_ex.html.
With best practice of organizing the fixture data by site and test
environment you are not limited to accessing one site from any given feature
that's executing. For example, say you have two automated test sites,
'SITE1' and 'GMAIL'. Within both sites you would have defined flows and
elements along with associated fixtures. Lets say you have a flows defined
under SITE1::HomePage and GMAIL::HomePage. Anytime you run a feature set
you will automatically have access to instance variables @site1_homepage and
@gmail_homepage. You would also have defined fixture data under
sites/SITE1/conf/base_urls.yml and sites/GMAIL/conf/base_urls.yml. Now if
you need to navigate between the two sites you could do something like:
@browser.go(@test_data['SITE1'][:base_urls][$environment][:home_page])
Do some actions which results in an email being sent where you now need to
navigate to gmail and check for the confirmation:
@browser.go(@test_data['GMAIL'][:base_urls][$environment][:home_page])
where your base_urls.yml would have something like
:dev:
:home_page: 'http://someurl.for.dev'
:test:
:home_page: 'http://someurl.for.test'
:prod:
:home_page: 'http://someurl.for.prod'
Element Conventions:
Organize your elements into meaningful namespaces such as:
module Demo
module Elements
class Tabs
include RSpec::Core::DSL # always include this line in all element
classes
end
class Header
include RSpec::Core::DSL
end
class Footer
include RSpec::Core::DSL
end
class Dialogs
include RSpec::Core::DSL
end
end
end
Create as many element files as needed for your site under
sites/site_name/elements. Given the above example name the file something
like sites/demo/elements/demo_common_elements.rb. Now you have all your
common elements than can be accessed from multiple pages. Lets take a look
at defining elements:
module Demo
module Elements
class Menu
include RSpec::Core::DSL
def initialize
define_me(:full_menu_div) {@browser.div(:id, 'main_menu')}
define_me(:actions) { full_menu_div.link(:text, 'Actions') }
define_me(:test_alert) {
actions.mouseover
full_menu_div.link(:text, 'Test Alert')
}
define_me(:test_dialog) {
actions.mouseover
full_menu_div.link(:text, 'Test Dialog')
}
end
end
end
end
Flows:
Since flow objects are dynamically created for you it's urgent that you must
have only one module and class per file. Like elements you can have as many
files under sites/site_name/flows as required. Notice in the example
below that you instantiate a reference to an element definition. Always use
the convention as setting the instance variable to @elements. This is
needed as when the flow instances are automatically created for you it will
expect this format. Remember all the common elements? Within your
Demo::Elements::HomePage we instantiated instances
to Demo::Elements::Tabs, Demo::Elements::Menu and Demo::Elements::Dialogs so
that we can access them via items such as
@elements.tabs.registration.element_name.
module Demo
class HomePage
include RSpec::Core::DSL
attr_reader :elements
def initialize
@elements = Demo::Elements::HomePage.new
end
def home
@browser.goto(@test_data['demo'][:base_urls][$environment][:demo_home])
@elements.tabs.registration.wait_until_present
screen_shot('Landed on Home Page')
end
def registration
home
@elements.tabs.registration.wait_until_present
@elements.tabs.registration.click
@demo_registrationpage.elements.step_1_next.wait_until_present
screen_shot('Landed on Registration Page')
end
end
end
What other magic is done for you? All the instance variables referencing
the flows are available from each other. For example, if you are a method
in the Demo::HomePage#method but need to call a method in the
Demo::RegistrationPage flow you can access @demo_registrationpage from
within the instance of @demo_homepage. You will notice this above in
Demo::HomePage#registration
@demo_registrationpage.elements.step_1_next.wait_until_present.
The user doesn't have to wire this up, instance variables have been created
for you at runtime.
Happy Testing
Cliff.

[wtr-general] watir-webdriver survey for adding items such as: alert_box, scroll_to, and in_viewable_area?
Hello Watir users
I wanted to write the watir-general community and inquire about how
much pain you feel around what appears to be some common items that
might need to be added to watir-webdriver.
1. The underlying selenium-webdriver can not perform an action on an
element if it isn't in the viewable area on the browser. Actions such
as click, text, html, etc on such elements will fail under this
condition.
2. The code for handling alert boxes seams to be very flaky on
certain OS/browser combinations.
3. fire_event('mouseover') doesn't work on all OS/browser combinations
All of these aspects can easily be updated to make your life easier.
Updates to handle each of these aspects are included in qa_robusta,
which has previously been mentioned on the list. If you feel that
these features are valuable, there's a better chance they will get
incorporated into the main release of watir-webdriver if you voice
your opinion.
See https://github.com/ccyphers/qa_robusta/blob/master/qa_observer/lib/watir.rb
for a current implementation to handle these points. Note, personally
I think it might be best to make a slight update to this
implementation, for the element not in the viewable area. All method
calls to Watir::Element which require the element to be in view, could
first:
Watir::Element#scroll_to unless unless Watir::Element#in_viewable_area?
Dealing with alert boxes you would now be able to do something like:
some_element.alert_box.text
some_element.alert_box.dismiss
For mouseovering an element, you no longer would need to call
fire_event, which is unreliable. You could simply:
some_element.mouseover
Thank you for your comments
Cliff.

For demo purposes, why not just create a simple site as a rack app or with camping, sinatra, etc. Also, if there are specific test element that would be good to cover for demo purposes I'll put them in the demo site of QA Robusta. So far the demo site supports a JS/CSS drop down menu, tabed pages and an accordion style registration.

I think I've run into one to many 'content rippers' lately who are asking questions about how they can use watir to access sites with the pretty clear intent of content theft and I had a bit of a knee-jerk response. I think the tutorial stuff that Bis and Alister are doing is valuable stuff and for a noble purpose that would all in all benefit the watir community. However I think it would be a good idea to get official permission since while it might be in the spirit of what Etsy is all about, it is (at least by my reading) against their terms of use, and their api terms of use. Specifically I think this work would violate these portions of their agreements: 1) From their main terms of use: You agree that you will not use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access Etsy for any purpose whatsoever, except to the extent expressly permitted by and in compliance with Etsy's API Terms of Use or otherwise without Etsy's prior express written permission. any Watir scripts would qualify under 'other automated means' 2) When we get into their API terms (http://www.etsy.com/developers/ terms-of-use) it gets thornier because those terms basically restrict developers to using the API, and Watir isn't doing that. 9. Website Human Use Restriction And Use of API The API is the only supported method for users to access data programmatically from Etsy. The Etsy Website, including Content and applications is published solely for direct access by human users. 'Spiders', 'crawlers', 'bots' and all other automated software or hardware devices designed to access and 'read' or otherwise analyze the Website independently are prohibited unless they are expressly so authorized by Etsy. Again Watir would fall into the general wording of 'all other automated software ... designed to access..' Not sure who you wrote to, but the proper address for anything pertaining to this appears to be develo...@etsy.com I hope they will say yes, their site makes an interesting target and anyone using it to practice their automation skills is going to get exposed to some interesting stuff for sale and might even buy something. If they say no then an alternative will need to be found. Or we might even have to create out own (which might be an interesting project).. I know Bret had something he was using for training when he was trying to make a go of 'watircraft' so if this is a non starter that might be one place to start. (I'd love to eventually have our own training site, perhaps even persuade some of the third party tools venders to allow us to put samples of their stuff up on it so we could end up creating demonstrations of how to code against all these various wacky javascript controls for things like treeviews, multi-select lists, etc. On Oct 10, 10:57 am, Jari Bakken jari.bak...@gmail.com wrote: You may be interested in Alister's Etsy code athttps://github.com/alisterscott/EtsyWatirWebDriver/ On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 6:56 PM, bis bis...@gmail.com wrote: No I do not work for Etsy in any way, Also the automated tests using watir, taza, rspec, and cucumber do not violate the terms of use for the site or api as far as i understand them.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: Introducing QA Robusta - A System Test Automation Framework
It has similar aspects as taza, with regard to elements and flows. Actually, a lot of what's in taza is something I discussed with some of the developers who released this when I was contracting for GID. Currently, it's only configured to take screen shots automatically when links are clicked but the user can take a screen shot anytime they wish: TestExtention.screen_shot($current_test_method, 'pre') I plan on adding an option to disable automatic screen shots. Also, watir has been extended to that Watir::Element includes methods to see if an element is in the view able area and to scroll to the element: https://github.com/ccyphers/qa_robusta/blob/master/qa_observer/sites/demo/test_cases/test_element_scroll_to.rb It's not intended to work with per se, cucumber, rspec or other frameworks. For now I want to stick with minitest but might add some of minitest spec features in. Personally, I feel that having a good separation and flow to the test framework where test case writers can make simple calls to perform their testing is more important than test case syntax. Zeljko, I look forward to discussing this in more details in an up coming screencast. I most likely won't be able to get to this until next week.

How well does your framework work and play with Specification by Example tools such as RSpec and Cucumber? Is it possible to configure things so that screenshots are taken only when an assert or .should is failing, instead of on every link or button click? On Oct 3, 10:09 am, Cliff cliff.cyph...@gmail.com wrote: Hello Watir Community I've been a fan of Watir for web based automation for many years now and would like to introduce a framework intended to provide the means for creating system level test cases. What is meant by system level test cases? As a tester when you manually test an application often times you find yourself not only testing a web interface but having to login to a remote unix machine and verify some results. With QA Robusta writing test cases interfacing with multiple interface types is a breeze. Right now, only remote unix support is provided but I'll be adding remote windows as well using psexec. Seehttps://cyberconnect.biz/opensource/qa_robusta.htmlfor complete details. Be sure to check out a demo report as wellhttps://cyberconnect.biz/opensource/demo_results.html. * Elements, such as links, buttons, and other html objects are defined in one location. This ensures over time the user won't have definitions spread out throughout different layers of code requiring time consuming updates if the application under test is modified. * Well defined flows allows the user to have a common means for navigating and controlling interactions with the application under test. This takes all logic out of test classes and yields in higher more modular code re-use. * When an application requiring testing has the elements and flows implemented less code savy resources can easily add new test cases once trained on how to access the flows and elements. * When ever a link or button is clicked a screen shot is taken * Results are available under site/results directory in html format. Report includes the rdoc on a per test class method along with any screen shots taken. * Transparent remote Unix command execution leading to well defined interfaces for common task. For example, one may have a class defined specifically for RemoteUnixNetwork. This class would have methods such as, assign_ip, ifup, ifdown, etc. This class then would be able to perform these task on any remote Unix machine. * Executes the same on Windows or Linux/Unix environments. Developers have the freedom to develop on the platform of choice. * Mechanize extension: Allows the user to define a web application's page elements in a YAML format and provide navigation paths accessing the YAML structure to interact with the web application. Users can also perform direct http.post or any other mechanize functionality when defining state- full interfaces to hit a web application without going through a browser.

[wtr-general] Re: Very slow typing speed for firefox 2 : watir 1.6.2
I've seen similar resuls with putting a little delay in the read_socket().. I thinks it's a resourse issue in where the OS is polling till it's free. It just happens to be with a litle delay there's less polling for the file descriptor IO. The read_socket is waiting on data hence the delay. We all know it's easier to point out the issue to find the fix. FYI, for me this is happening on ubuntu with FFv3.0.7 and jssh0.9 Sent from my iPhone On Mar 12, 2009, at 4:53 PM, Aedorn Varanis aed...@gmail.com wrote: Something amusing about this issue. I noticed, by pure chance, that if I move another window around while the test is running, the typing goes faster. So if I rapidly move a window left to right, over and over, the tests I do complete really quickly. Once I stop moving the window, it goes back to the really slow 1 character per second typing. I'm not even sure how that is related, in fact, I can't even begin to think of a reasonable explanation as to why. This kind of puts it in the realm of a whole other issue all together. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

[wtr-general] Re: Very slow typing speed for firefox 2 : watir 1.6.2
Late to the thread but wanted to add something recently observed while running firefox through strace. It appears there are some flow control issues which may explain the slow typing speed. It's also been noted with some puts in the read_socket method the problem isn't as severe. While it may be in the JSSH code it may require updates on both sides and there's always a chance it's 100% on the ruby side. I'll be digging into both as well over the next week or so. From the ruby side maybe we can set some fcntl flags (looks unlikely through). system call failure from strace: read(3, 0x8d165d4, 4096)= -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 9:38 AM, Cliff cliff.cyph...@gmail.com wrote: -- Forwarded message -- From: Charley Baker charley.ba...@gmail.com Date: Nov 12 2008, 10:24 am Subject: Very slow typing speed for firefox 2 : watir 1.6.2 To: Watir General I'm seeing this happen with one of the people I'm working with, slow meaning almost 1sec/character in this case.
