Re: [wtr-general] Is Watir supports desktop application?

RE: [wtr-general] Re: facing issue with clicking buttons
Or, someone might take the lazy way out and use the ruby-gmail gem. But
that's just me. Automating email handling through some sort of client (web,
Outlook, etc.) is just plain dumb. I sometimes use something similar in Perl
if/when I need to generate/send email.
When all you have is a hammer, everything pretty much looks like a nail.
Sometimes you have to think outside the box to solve your problems.
(Note: This is not directly in response to Chuck...rather, in response to
the insanity that is test automation.)

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

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?

[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. On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 2:49 PM, Bret Pettichord b...@pettichord.comwrote: 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?

[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.

[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.
