[wtr-general] Re: How to not overwrite current html report?
you can use embedded ruby in the cucumber.yml file to generate a
(hopefully) unique file name:
default: --no-source --color --format pretty --format html --out results_<%=
DateTime.now.strftime('%y%m%d%H%M%S%L') %>_<%= rand(1-9) %>.html

[wtr-general] Re: Running watir tests simultaneously on different browsers
Your question is on managing test executions and cross browser testing. Managing test execution is better handled by Continuous Integration, which is a must for serious test automation attempts. (Check out Lisa Cripin's blog on this topic: http://lisacrispin.com/category/continuous-integration/) Back to your question, yes, it can be done. we implemented that following the guidance from the book 'Practical Web Test Automation': https://leanpub.com/practical_web_test_automation. The tests are distributed to different build agents (on different machines), each agent can be set to run with a specified browser, eg. Firefox or Chrome. A piece of advice: get distributed test execution done first, which can significantly reduce your test execution time (aiming for 10 minutes, regardless how many tests you have or how long does it take to run all on a single machine). The rest (cross browser testing, ..) can be easily achieved after that.

[wtr-general] Re: Run the Same Test in Multiple Browsers - Watir Webdriver
In fact, to verify tests against multiple browsers, don't have to run one test the same time for 3 browsers (can be done, though). Besides maintainability, the other test automation challenge is long execution time (Google average build time: 4 minutes, http://blog.utest.com/testing-the-limits-with-patrick-copeland-part-i/2010/02/). We configured our CI server to distribute tests to different build agents (we use BuildWise Agent, http://testwisely.com/en/buildwise/downloads, you can customize your Selenium-Grid), which set to run different browsers (Firefox, Chrome). As the test assigned to different build agents for every build, essentially, all browsers are covered without sacrificing the performance. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Ruby Array Question
All,
I have setup a Ruby class, made up of a bunch of subroutines. Below is an
illustration:
class BigTestClass
def scenario1#testScenario end
def scenario2#testScenario end end
I have an array that consists of the names of all of the subroutines above:
allMyTests = {scenario1, scenario2}
I want to call my test subroutines from another script, by using the array of
strings:
b = BigTestClass.newallMyTests = {scenario1, scenario2}
x = 0
b.allMyTests[x]
When I try to call it like this, the 'allMyTests[x]' is being treated like a
function. I tried treating it as string (b.allMyTests[x].to_s), but that didn't
work either. I am looking for a way to call these subroutines by using the
array elements. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Subject: [wtr-general] Re: facing issue with clicking buttons
Frankly I'd find some other thing to try and automate.
GMAIL intentionally makes their UI difficult to automate. ID's are
uniquely regenerated each time you instantiate the compose mail page
(and different each time) Classes look fairly randomized and I'd
place no bets on Gmail not updating them on some rotating basis.
That div with 'send' in it, consists of about 5 nested divs, and I've
no idea which of them is 'wired' to respond to the click. Even if we
figured out the right class etc to make it work, who's to say it would
stay working an hour or a day from now.
(consider for a moment all the 'evil' that could be caused by people
abusing an easily scriptable gmail interface and you'll understand why
there's no incentive on google's part to make any of this easy for
anyone., and in fact quite a bit of incentive to make it very
difficult)
If it's possible at all, it's likely going to take something like
Xpath to do it, or practically reverse engineering the DOM on the fly

I forgot one really important aspect to this - the %HTTP_PROXY% variable needs to be set. Make sure to set the environment variable %HTTP_PROXY% to your proxy server.

RE: [wtr-general] Dialog boxes..
Watir for non-web applications? No. Ruby for non-web applications? Possibly. Couple of resources to consider: Scripted GUI Testing with Ruby by Ian Dees Everyday Scripting with Ruby by Brian Marick It all depends on what you're trying to do.

Re: [wtr-general] How to create a file and save it.
Watir is really a tool for interacting with web applications. For what you want to do, you may want to rephrase the question as being Ruby-specific and not related to Watir. Further, you may want to invest a little time researching your problem. There are plenty of resources available to help you solve this problem. An initial hint is to google for 'ruby creating text file'. After that, once you have some code, you may want to reach out to a Ruby mailing list for further help. But, note that when you do reach out for help, there is going to be an expectation that you have specific questions that you're not able to solve rather than a blanket request for help.

Tom, If you try to execute each line of your script through irb, what kind of results are you seeing? I was able to execute your script without issue on my machine here (Windows 7, Ruby 1.8.6, Watir 1.6.5). Part of me is wondering if what you're running into is some sort of permissions issue.

I have a very simple script (part of a much larger script that I'm trying to resurrect): require watir browser = Watir::Browser.new browser.goto(http://202.36.68.44/;) puts browser.url that results in c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.5/lib/watir/ie-class.rb: 465:in `method_missing': unknown property or method `LocationURL' (WIN32OLERuntimeError) HRESULT error code:0x800706b5 The interface is unknown. from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ watir-1.6.5/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:465:in `url' from mytest.rb:6 Originally I thought there was a compatability issue with IE8. But after removing/reinstalling both Ruby and Watir, I still get this error. I suspect the html is at issue, as this script obviously will work with other sites (tested by going to google). But the HTML validates (so I'm told by the developer). Can anybody provide at least a direction if not an answer?

[wtr-general] Re: Answering incomplete requests
Seems to me, if we're receiving 'incomplete requests', then maybe there's a way to drive towards more complete requests. In the LoadRunner forum on SQAForums, they're pretty militant about getting environment information upfront before they'll answer questions. Maybe if we adopted some sort of a set of questions to be answered, then we might get some more thorough questions and be better able to provide answers. Something akin to: Ruby version: Watir version: OS/browser versions: Code: HTML: What's wrong/not working/whatever (how 'bout an error message?): Granted, there are some questions (and/or people) for whom this might be a little ridiculous...but it could make for an easy template to spit back at the incomplete request. Like you said, it really isn't terribly different from someone logging a defect/enhancement/whatever. So a little pushback, I think, might get things moving in a better direction.

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.

[wtr-general] Re: Does Watir support PHP based technology
In addition to Željko's answer... Are there other modules required to be installed along with Watir? Short answer: No. Longer answer: It depends on what you want to do. If the sole focus of your testing is the web front-end, then you are probably safe not having to install any other gems. But, if you want to do things like connect to a database or connect to a remote machine, then there are gems that you might want to consider installing to better support those tasks.

Run the following at the command line:gem sources This will list out the sources configured on your system. And, if that fails, then try the following: gem env This lists out your current RubyGems environment. And if all of those fail, then I'd be willing to hazard a guess that you may want to set up the RUBYOPT environment variable. These three items should give you a number of initial steps to start further debugging what is taking place.

No - what I am saying is that under some conditions form.submit does

I have found that it makes no difference if a form is within a frame

In general, it seems that some forms work with form.submit and some do
not - I just cannot figure out why.

Orde,
thanks for looking at this.
unfortunately thats not the answer - maybe even a little off track.
I am getting a lot cases where form.submit does not work as expected.
another case iswww.monster.de
ff.form(:index, 1).text_field(:name, ctl00$ctl00$searchBox
$_ptbKeywords).value = 12345
ff.form(:index, 1).submit
The page renders no result from the form.submit (just a page
refresh).
I thought that this might have something to do with the fact that that
the form has no submit buttons in it - so tried a from that does have
input buttons defined:
https://careers3.accenture.com/taleo/taleo.asp?countryname=Germany
ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:index, 1).text_field(:name,
jobNumberSearch).value = 12345
ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:index, 1).submit
also here, the page renders no result from the form.submit (it just
refreshes the page)
however, this page works just fine:
http://www.jobware.de/
ff.form(:index, 1).text_field(:index, 1).value = ruby
ff.form(:index, 1).submit
and because i thought it might have somthing to do with iframes being
declaired on in the page i built a html document with the google
search page in the iframe,
that also worked as expected.
So I really am stuck on why. I cannot figure out what the causing this
behaviour - it least if I knew, could try fixing it.
has anyone got any ideas? I am more looking for the cause, rather than
a work around.
thanks a million.

[wtr-general] Re: firewatir form submit working???
Orde, Thanks a million for spending so much time on this - totally appreciated. After consulting my javascript book - The satement forms that have onsubmit defined MAY not work when the function submit() is called. It seems that the function submit() does not trigger the onsubmit event handler. The onsubmit event handler will only be triggered by a genuine click (fire event). onsubmit is evaluated before submit - if false is returned then submit will not be excecuted. The book suggests that onsubmit function can be called seperately with element.onsubmit() So then the following should be the valid sequence. form(:index, 1).submit if form(:index, 1).onsubmit (of course an onsubmit method would need to be added to firewatir for the above line to work (or the existing js_eval method could eb used instead). HAVING SAID THAT: The form defined at www.monster.de does not have any buttons and does not have onsubmit defined in the form. so this sort of this thing: form(:index, 1).submit if form(:index, 1).onsubmit would not work. as Orde pointed out, the only thing that works for that form is fireing a click event on a specific link. browser.link(:id, 'ctl00_ctl00_searchBox_MessagizedButton1').click This link contains the on href javascript:AjaxSearch_DoSearchRedirect (). It is actually this function that ends up submitting the form. As there is no direct connection between this link and the form it is almost impossible for a mthod to identify this link as actually being the element that submits the form. This is a disaster if your software has to find forms and submit them on its own without knowing about them before hand. This problem seems to go from the hundreds to the millions very quickly - so, is there another solution. It seems that all the forms in question react to a keyboard return - i.e. they submit. The only thing is - firewatir does not have a way of fireing a keyboard event (as far as I know). If it did then i could imagine somthing like this working for every form: form(:index, 1).text_field(:index, 1).value=whatever #fill in the form with something form(:index, 1).text_field(:index, 1).click #this should activate any onfocus event handlers on the page form(:index, 1).press_enter#(as apposed to click) Does anyone know how this could be achieved from within firewatir?

[wtr-general] Re: firewatir form submit working???
hmmm, ok - it seems from looking at the firewatir code that I have been misunderstanding what fire_event in the firewatir code does. I thought it did exactly that - fire an event to the browser through jssh - which is in hind sight VERY stupid of me. fire_event seems to literally call the javascript method defined for the object in the browser dom that will be called when the browser recieves and event for that object. So if a method has been attached to an object (onclick, onsubmit etc) it will just be called through jssh when the firewatir method fire_event has been called with a specific evet type - and only for that specific object. This will not of course effect any other objects listening for the event - unless fire_event is called for them too (which firefox does automatically when it gets an event - i.e. keyboard, mouse etc). This means that we dont really reproduce globally accross all objects in the browser dom what could happen when an single local object is clicked or the keyboard is pressed. I am seeing a lot of pages where many objects are listing for the same event and then react accordingly - this behaviour we cannot (i dont think) reproduce with any degree of success. What does this mean for the submit() method working on some forms and not on others? Basically either - there is someway on a unix machine to simulate real mouse and keyboard events (any suggestions welcome) - or find the object in the form or on the page that actually submits the form (objects that are not within the form can easilly be programmed in javascript to submit the form - even though they have seemingly nothing to do with the form at all), click it and hope that no other objects on the page or in the form that do somthing really important before or after the form get submitted. I think however, that in most cases a click on the submit object should work - even though difficult for a software agent to locate prgramatically. if anyone has a different view on my findings, please let me know - and i hope this helps someone else with the same problem. jason.

[wtr-general] Re: using Rails routes
in principle - there is no reason that is should not work. except if depends on the mocks and stubs you are using for your testing. you need the full (ulr_for) resolution url name for the browser.goto as you need the mongral server running to generate the page in the browser, i am not so sure that it makes a lot of sense to mix up the two test areas. in the rails environment you are (or should be) testing your program with mocks and stubs which is entirely independant of an application server running or not. if you want to test the realworld output to the browser I would do that outside of rails, afterall it does not really matter what application generates the pages the you want to test. hope that is food for thought. jason On 17 Jun., 07:59, Macsig sigbac...@gmail.com wrote: Hello guys, I'm new to watir: I have just discovered it through Cucumber and Watir 101 screencast (http://vimeo.com/2871256).

[wtr-general] Re: firewatir form submit working???
Orde,
thanks for looking at this.
unfortunately thats not the answer - maybe even a little off track.
I am getting a lot cases where form.submit does not work as expected.
another case is www.monster.de
ff.form(:index, 1).text_field(:name, ctl00$ctl00$searchBox
$_ptbKeywords).value = 12345
ff.form(:index, 1).submit
The page renders no result from the form.submit (just a page
refresh).
I thought that this might have something to do with the fact that that
the form has no submit buttons in it - so tried a from that does have
input buttons defined:
https://careers3.accenture.com/taleo/taleo.asp?countryname=Germany
ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:index, 1).text_field(:name,
jobNumberSearch).value = 12345
ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:index, 1).submit
also here, the page renders no result from the form.submit (it just
refreshes the page)
however, this page works just fine:
http://www.jobware.de/
ff.form(:index, 1).text_field(:index, 1).value = ruby
ff.form(:index, 1).submit
and because i thought it might have somthing to do with iframes being
declaired on in the page i built a html document with the google
search page in the iframe,
that also worked as expected.
So I really am stuck on why. I cannot figure out what the causing this
behaviour - it least if I knew, could try fixing it.
has anyone got any ideas? I am more looking for the cause, rather than
a work around.
thanks a million.
Jason.

Hi venky,
I use firewatir too and ended up tweaking the wait method in
firefox.rb so that it uses busyflags.
when the wait method times out (300 seconds) then it should raise and

if rescue the exception you can try to load the url again with ff.goto

Hi Wesley. Only browser, window, document and body are defined vars. There seem to be absolutly not methods that can be applied to the head tag of a document (at least in firewatir).

[wtr-general] Re: forms in subframes - elements not found
Check, Thanks for the details solutions. In general - i can say that this in not a general bug in the firewatir code - in fact firewatir does find elements of objects in frames - most of the time! Now comes what I have found out until now. After a lot debugging and running after phantom bugs - i have finally found out what is at the root of the problem. It lies in the html code on the page: form method=get name=lay0803234_src350a action=snippet_freie_stellen_ergebnis.htm/ Note the close slash / at the end of the statement which closes the form statement. In the html code, this statement is followed by the select lists, inputs and buttons etc. On the face of it, this seems wrong - according to everything I have seen until now the /form statement should come after the all the form elements (select lists, buttons and inputs etc) have been declaired (but I am not an html guru - so I am not sure about this). What is interesting is that firefox iteself can deal with this - the form is displayed correctly and works fine. In fact looking at the DOM with firebug firefox knows everything about the elements of the form object. Unfortunately firewatir cannot get hold of the information for some reason and I am not a javascript guru - I cannot figure it what is going wrong. - but I have made these observations: 1. ff.frame(:index, 1).froms The above statement uses the firewatir locate_tagged_elements to find the forms. This method will not find any form that which closes on itself. i.e. form name=hello/ 2. ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:index, 1).name This uses locate_tagged_element to find the form. This will locate a form that closes on iteself. 3. ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:index, 1).selects_lists This (logically - will not find any select lists in the form). 4. ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:index, 1).select_list(:index, 1).name This (unlogically) does not find the select list for the form that closes on itself. Has any one any idea why the javascript code being sent to firefox through jssh is not working properly (not finding the things) in a case like this. Note the url of the page causeing this is: http://www.siemens.de/jobs/jobs_bewerbung/jobboerse/Seiten/jobboerse.aspx I small note on this and the conditions that i have to work in (god given): 1. I cannot use IE or watir 2. I can only use Firefox and firewatir 3. I cannot tell the programmer to change the code. 4. I need the contents of forms Any brillinat ideas out there?? Please let me know. Thanks a million Jason. On 5 Jun., 20:37, Chuck van der Linden sqa...@gmail.com wrote: Ok I've not tried this, but as far as I know you COULD install the watir gem, you just could not run it with the browser set to IE since yes obviously you don't have an IE browser on your platform. Mostly I gave that as an easy way to provide a tiny bit of sample code where you could quickly show (on a windows system) that the script worked on IE and not on Firefox, which helps to isolate the source of the bug (although I see you already found the code that needs to change).. I do feel compelled to ask one question however.. the site you are testing, is it restricted to only users of firefox, or is it a public site accesable by multiple browsers? if the latter shouldn't you be testing that it renders and operates properly on more than a single browser platform? Perhaps by using a Virtual Machine to run Windows so you could test against IE? or using chromewatir or safariwatir as well? (presuming you want to test on the smaller marketshare browsers) I would think testing the site against what only a portion of people use to browse the web (presuming we believe these folks http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=1 FF is only about aquarter of users (seems low, but I can't find other stats just now)). In any case regardless of the exact marketshare numbers, single browser testing leaves you open for a number of potential problems on other platforms. (I run all my testbed systems off VM's.. I can tell you that IE and Watir both run fine from one, at least under Hyper-V..

Of course you are right with the work around - but this does not work

it is not clear which elements belong to which forms and where they
are in the frames and or nested frames.
In the example i gave there are 6 select lists and 3 forms in 2
different frames - which is a pretty common case - and regardless if i

in the example - it does not work.

Hi Alistair, With lack of a better alternative - wordpress - or any blog - is a pain for the user searching for structured information.

On 4 Jun., 06:23, Alister Scott alister.sc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Everyone, I have looked into many options and can't find a free/cheap option to host Confluence for watir.com. Amazon EC2 will be at least US$80 per month (~$1000 per year) so we would need to find a sponsor for this. On top of this, we would need to configure and maintain (backup) Confluence ourselves which is additional effort. In moving forward I have asked why we are wanting to do what we're doing. I understand there are two main reasons: 1) The current site (http://wtr.rubyforge.org/) is old, hard to update by multiple people, and not very dynamic, meaning the information on here is often not up to date. 2) It is believed the openqa.org site is taking on a more selenium focus and therefore Watir might be better hosted elsewhere (dedicated instance). One solution I propose is that we use wordpress.com as a CMS to host watir.com (custom domain name mapping costs $10USD per year) and besides this there is no charge for up to 3GB content and unlimited traffic. The benefit of using wordpress.com is that it is very fast, has a high google pagerank, is very easy to configure and use, and allows multiple authors for the site. I have set a very quick demo here: http://watirweb.wordpress.com/The great thing is that the site has RSS feeds, and using the widgets we can display various content dynamically. This solves issue 1 above, but the issue 2 still exists. I personally think issue 2 has died down a bit of late, and that we could possibly continue using openqa.org for the wiki and JIRA for the immediate future, until something changes. We can just link to this site from watir.com I look forward to hearing your ideas and feedback about this.

Of course you are right with the work around - but this does not work for me because I have a large number of sites that often change so I don't know / cannot rely on the structure of the websites - my program has to find this out for itself and operate the forms accordingly and make sure they produce a valid output - which is an impossible task if it is not clear which elements belong to which forms and where they are in the frames and or nested frames. In the example i gave there are 6 select lists and 3 forms in 2 different frames - which is a pretty common case - and regardless if i use :name, :index :id or any other attribute to locate the select list in the example - it does not work. I have posted this as a bug in the jira system eventhough I am still trying to find out if this is a bug - or I am missing something - the thing is - if this is a bug - then it looks like a show stopper for me - but a bug that probably wont be fixed for some time to come - so either i stop the project or debug / patch firewatir - which i would totally like to avoid.

I mean given that you are identifying it by ID and not Name or Class, there should only be ONE of them on the page if it's proper HTML. Yes this doesn't let you validate that someone didn't move the thing outside of the form, or address any other reason you have for wanting to look for it 'inside' the form (which I understand perfectly, I do that kind of thing all the time with navigation links within a specific div etc) but it might at least let you get around this for now..

[wtr-general] Re: forms in subframes - elements not found
Chuck, thanks a million for the feedback.
This seems to be problem with firewatir. The following works fine.
url = http://www.siemens.de/jobs/jobs_bewerbung/jobboerse/Seiten/
jobboerse.aspx
ff = FireWatir::Firefox.new
ff.goto(url)
ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:name, lay0803234_src350a).inspect
This does not:
url = http://www.siemens.de/jobs/jobs_bewerbung/jobboerse/Seiten/
jobboerse.aspx
ff = FireWatir::Firefox.new
ff.goto(url)
ff.frame(:index, 1).form(:name, lay0803234_src350a).select_list(:id,
LOV6) .inspect
which results in the following error:
MozillaBaseElement.rb:973:in `assert_exists': Unable to locate
element, using :id, LOV6 (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
I had a look at the firewatir code and see this in the
locate_tagged_element method which is total crap because if the
container class is not a frame then the search of the object will
default to the base document and not the frame!! which of course
explains why it is not working.
if(@container.class == FireWatir::Firefox || @container.class ==
Frame)
jssh_command += var elements_#{tag} = null; elements_#{tag} = #
{DOCUMENT_VAR}.getElementsByTagName(\#{tag}\);
Totally, totally rubbish and makes firewatir vertually unuseable for
anyone exploring forms within frames.
and even more unfortunate is the fact that i cannot use IE because I
am in a unix environement.
bugger, bugger, bugger.

Michael, thanks for the feedback. as mentioned above that works fine -
however is not much use becasue the select list has no relationship to

no, but it would be the correct list (unless your devs are abusing
hml) since there is only one instance of that ID allowed, so it would
be selecting the corrrect selection list.
This seems perhaps to be something limited to Firewatir however..
since with Watir and IE7 as my browser I'm able to perform the
function you indicated
browser.frame(:index, 1).form(:name,
lay0803234_src350a).select_list(:id, LOV6)
without a problem.
One thing to check, use .show_frames and make sure you have the right
one. with IE it's index 1 for the frame you want. There is another
frame on the page but that's index 2. I'm not sure if it's possible,
but maybe good to check that the order is still the same in FF.
Can you do it from IRB or a watircraft console, and see if you can
flash the form ?
browser.frame(:index, 1).form(:name, lay0803234_src350a).flash
that would tell you if you have the right container. for the list and
can address it.
Not sure if it helps to know I can't duplicate your issue when using
IE, but there it is. your code is, in theory anyway (once we
eliminate the index for :index typo), sound. so I'd think it
ought to work with FF as well as with IE

Hi, Jason.
After hacked a little in def startClicker, I have it worked within my

all you got to do is to update the first line of startClicker to
locate the right frame.
e.g.
original one:
jssh_command = var win = #{BROWSER_VAR}.contentWindow;
if you want click something in frame A:
jssh_command = var win = #
{BROWSER_VAR}.contentWindow.document.getElementById(#
{frame_id}).contentWindow;
you can update it a little to make a work more gracefully.
Hope it works.

The depth of the nesting and the width(number of elements) of the branching and the type of the elements are not known in advance. For example, you have tr td a /a /td /tr or sometimes tr td tr td a /a /td td a /a /td /tr /td /tr The links are nested in the table and I want to click all these links using Watir, but not other links on the page, (only the ones in the table).

[wtr-general] Re: Watir::IE.new - how does the IE object differ from a normal Windows IE instance?
I think I need to dig around and understand these redirections, but they're basically related to AB variation testing... Thanks for your thoughts! Jason On May 13, 1:20 am, Nathan Lane nathamberl...@gmail.com wrote: The Watir IE object is instantiated through OLE (I believe or it could be COM), which is done over a server-like connection, whereas running IE actually starts the entire program from executable. This may not be entirely correct though, as I do not fully understand how OLE or COM work. IE is tightly integrated into the system however, for example if you were to open an Explorer window, normally used to browse files on your local system, and enter the HTTP address to a web site in the address bar, the Explorer window would become an Internet Explorer window. There are likely some differences between running IE as an executable and running IE as an OLE object, but what they are is not known to me. It may also be possible that the redirects caused by Google aren't always necessary and don't occur in certain situations. You might dig more in that direction. Why is Google redirecting in up to ten different ways? Those are my thoughts.

[wtr-general] Watir::IE.new - how does the IE object differ from a normal Windows IE instance?
The question: how does the Internet Explorer object created via Watir
(Watir::IE.new) differ from an Internet Explorer object opened the
traditional way via Windows?
I'm not sure it's supposed to be different, but I'm observing the
following:
We've created some AB testing variations using the Google Website
Optimizer. The root page has 10 different variations.
When loading the root page within IE as loaded via Windows (C:
\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe) the root page
effectively redirects to any of the 10 variants - ./0/ through to ./
9/. i.e. http://{website}.com/9/
When loading the root page via an IE instance created via IRB
( Watir::IE.new or Watir::IE.start() ) this simply doesn't occur. The
redirect to ./x/ doesn't happen, the page stays at the root. There's
some javascript within the page that should assist this redirection
and it simply doesn't appear to happen.
By all other accounts the page is functionally correct, i.e. all other
javascript loads and functions as expected. I'm worried the
implementation of the AB variations may not be exactly correct, but is
there something obvious about the Watir IE instance I don't
understand?
Is the Watir IE object different in any obvious way to a 'normal'
Windows IE object that might cause this?

Can anyone send some sample code that creates reports using the html reporting class? Preferably a report with all of the bells and whistles that management would like to see. Thanks alot. - Shelton Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:47:22 -0700 Subject: [wtr-general] Re: Test Results Report Methods From: sqa...@gmail.com To: watir-general@googlegroups.com For performance data, it's hard to beat excel or a db, since that lets you create nice trending charts etc. Makes it really easy for upper management to see if things are getting better or worse, or when a sudden change occurs for better or worse. For pass/fail stuff here I was using the HTML reporting class that's in the examples (with a few tweaks to support a 'blocked' status) in the Watir Wiki. I've since largely switched over to using Watir with Watircraft + Cucumber, but have been heads-down on a lot of manual work and not had a lot of time for automation the last week or three. So I don't really have enough scenarios coded to generate a big enough report that I'd want to show to the bosses.. I'll be looking at whatever cucumber allows me to do reporting wise when the time comes, and/or incessently pestering brett to add some kind of pretty html reporting to the framework if what cucumber has isn't good enough for my needs. Good reporting becomes important from a visability standpoint IMHO, since automation often seems to more 'prevent' new bugs more than 'find' existing bugs (well other than when it's first written). So test reporting becomes important to demonstrate to your higherups that you are 'doing something' when they don't see you logging a lot of bugs.

[wtr-general] Re: How do you find find frames.
I added this as a ticket - i hope i did it correctly.
anyway - it is not brilliant, simply because now the root document is
a different animal to the frames.
I think is makes much more sence to address the root document as
ff.frame(:index, 0)
This results in a much more transparent logic for writing code - but
means that the firewatir frame code needs to conditionaly deal with it
- which is not very clean i.e.
if :index == 0 then set_browser_document
if might be better to cleanly distinguish more clearly between what
firefox is - and what it returns. i.e.
ff = Firefox.new #browser
document = ff.goto(some_url)
Then this would be possible and - i think more logical and
transparent.
#browser things can only do browser things i.e
document = ff.back
document = ff.forward
document = ff.goto
#document things and document things
document.frame(:index, 1).links
document.frame(:index, 2).links
document.links
or - but less obvious
document.frame(:index, 0).links #root document
document.frame(:index, 1).links
document.frame(:index, 2).links

his doesnt answer your question, may be relevant;-)
Some time back I was using firefox/firewatir to try and figure out if a page
had frames, and if it did how many etc. It proved surprisingly difficult, I
think because sometimes ( I cant remember what/how/why) firefox ( or
firewatir ) would give me a chrome url, presumably this was something like
frame 0 or the main browser. I dont remember if this ever got resolved to my
satisfaction, or if I worked round it somehow.
I would offer you my code, but firewatir has changed significantly since I
did this, and probably wont help you

Thanks - I know this.
The method is not helpful because it uses puts to output the frame
information.
The thing is - I don't need to see them - I want my program to
automatically review them. i.e. getting links and buttons etc.

[wtr-general] Classes and Modules and Defs and understanding and referencing correctly
I've got a bunch of scripts that I load and include. Seems like
the sensible thing to do:
load 'global.rb'
include Global
load 'login.rb'
include Login
etc, etc.
In the above login.rb, there's the following:
def login(username, password)
yada yada
end
However I'm also loading a *whole* lot of other scripts from a
completely different watir library (for another application works
alongside this application under test).
Within this is another piece of code with another def with the same
name as above:
def login(username, password)
yada yada different stuff
end
* Firstly, is there something completely wrong with doing this? Both
Apps have their own Login screen which differ slightly, I think I'd
like to keep the login script for each different.
* When I run login({username}, {password}) it tends to pickup the
incorrect Module and try to execute the *other* version of login().
Any way I can force which one it should use?
* Anyone got any good links for understanding Classes / Modules / Def
a little better. I think I'm failing to understand this completely.

[wtr-general] Re: How to send a mail from outlook express using watir
The initial question that occurred to me is why you are trying to automate
the sending of an email with Outlook Express. Why not leverage Ruby to send
the email without the additional complexity of trying to figure out how deal
with Outlook Express. Bringing Outlook Express into the equation just seems
painful to me.
Beyond that, to address your original question, it might help to break down
the problem into manageable parts. First, create a script to send a simple
email.then, start worrying adding the complexity of sending content from a
log file.

[wtr-general] Re: Array Elements
Thanks. Will this work for a part of an element? For example, lets say that I
have 5 lines of characters in my array:
arr[0] = '12345'
arr[1] = '445566'
arr[2] = '4545543455'
arr[3] = '45367445'
arr[4] = '787873486895'
I want to look at each line, and determine which lines contains a certain
string, and put those lines in a separate array. So say for instance that I am
looking for each line that has a '34' in it. In this case, arr[0], arr[2], and
arr[4] should be put into the second array. How do I look for a part of an
array element? The code that you provided looks like it is looking at the
element as a whole. Thanks in advance for all of your help.
