I feel like I'm taking the short bus to wiki school. I believe I
figured out how to add my example to the correct place but adding
myself as a contributer of documentation is not going well at all.
Would one of you guys give me a quick tutorial.  That would be great
thanks.

This may cause issues for some of our test where we are using high
ascii characters not encoded in UTF-8.  All of our test are data
driven through excel we may just have to change the values to be UTF-8
encoded.  Is there any Idea when the next version of watir is due out

I am trying to enter a japanese(UTF8) character into one of the fields
on our web page and I keep having ç ¾ posted instead of 攷.  I believe
I have to let watir know that I am using UTF-8 but how.  I had the
same problem going to the google.com home page.  I can copy and paste
the character above and it works fine.  Here is the code I have been
working with.

--

require 'watir'
$KCODE='u'
require 'win32ole'
WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_ACP #UTF8

###
$Browser = nil

ENV["watir_browser"]="ie"

$Browser = Watir::Browser.new
$Browser.goto "www.google.com"
$Browser.text_field(:name,'q').set("攷")

This should be simple enough to do but I am not sure how.  Thanks for
your help

[wtr-general] Unable to find Items in Firefox

2009-08-20 Thread Loft_Tester

Recently, we updated our Web UI, and now watir is unable to find items
in firefox.  These items are also tested vs IE and those tests are
working fine.  I can not find a reason why these Items are failing.
At first,  I thought that it may be an issue with the "depth" of where
the fields are in the HTML but that doesn't seem to be the issue.

In my test I am selecting an Item in the table,  however the table
"labelRow" is not able to be found.  So I put a break point in my code
before where the selection happens and do a "puts $Browser.table
(:id,"labelRow").exists?"  That returns false.  I check firebug and it
shows the table is there.  I tried testin other Items on the page and
things that were there were also returning a false positive (double
and triple checked spelling).

Here is an example of what is returned from IE developer toolbar.  The
last Item is the table.  I have placed 0's near items that returned
true on "exists?" and an "x" that returned false.

.
.
..
.. 0
.. 0
.. 0
.. x
.. x
.. x
..
..
.. 0
..x
..x
..x

The "."'s are to help with spacing, to show the structure of the
html.  So I wondered if the table was bing seen as a different name
so I tried "puts $Browser.show_tables"  and it returned "There are 0
tables" "0..-1".

I have not been able to find a pattern as to why watir can not find
these items.  Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.  If you
need more information please let me know.  Thanks

[wtr-general] Firewatir and HighAscii

2009-06-30 Thread Loft_Tester

I saw a post asking for the same thing a year ago and it didn't get
any responses so I would like to try asking again and maybe one of you
out there could help.

I am trying to read internationalized data in a text field.
Field contents  =  Paço
firewatir returns = Paço

This all works fine in IE here's what I have tried from searching in
this forum
setting
$KCODE='u'

I have also tried

require 'win32ole'
WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_ACP #UTF8

and have returned the same data
to see that data in a field you can go to
http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS311US311&aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Paço

thanks

[wtr-general] Re: Getting style information in FireFox

2009-06-12 Thread Loft_Tester

firewatir 1.6.2 and firefox 3

I really appreciate you help.

BTW,  I swiched ("left") to ("display") like you had and it returned
"8".  I'm not sure what that means
I also tried values (from firebug) "offsetLeft"(dom) and "font-size"
both returned syntax errors
What are the options to pass and where can I get them?

I had to modify the cmd to:

cmd ="document.defaultView.getComputedStyle( #...@element_name} ,null)
[ '#{css_rule}' ];\n"

because element object did not exist as a variable to pass

[wtr-general] Re: Getting style information in FireFox

2009-06-12 Thread Loft_Tester

Ok, Paul, let me see if I have this right because what I'm trying to
do is not working.  I need to add the style method you displayed above
to the Element class in the MozillaBaseElement.rb file.  then I call
"puts $Browser.text_field(:id,/PART/).style("left")" and that should
return the left of that text_field.
This is not working for me at all.  I get an error message of
"SyntaxError: syntax error".  I added the method right after the
initialize method.  I know you said that I may have to make
modifications but i'm not even getting close right now

I was trying to ask the same question in a differant way.  I figure
with all the people that are using watir that someone may have a way
to pull the style data from a field in firefox.  Like some one has a
way to scrape all the data in a field and then all I have to do is
parse through it to get what I want.

[wtr-general] Re: currentstyle not working in firefox

2009-06-09 Thread Loft_Tester

I'm dropping this little chunk of code in there that tries to pull
style attributes from fields.  What I'm attaching you can copy right
into an .rb file and run.  You can also toggle from IE to Firefox.
I'm not sure if this was the best page to test against but since I'm
asking for lots of help here I figured I would make it as easy as
possible for someone to see and try what I am up against.  So if
anyone has a few minutes to give it a shot that would be much
appreciated. thanks every one for the help.

require 'watir'

@Browser = "IE"
#...@browser = "FireFox"
@Test_site = "http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en";

Watir::Browser.default = @Browser.downcase
Watir.options[:browser]= @Browser.downcase
$Browser = Watir::Browser.new #try to launch the browser
$Browser.goto @Test_site #Navigate to page
$Browser.wait;

#works in IE
puts $Browser.text_field
(:name,'as_q').document.currentstyle.fontFamily

[wtr-general] Re: currentstyle not working in firefox

2009-06-09 Thread Loft_Tester

Ok, I tried to use style.
For IE this works.
puts $Browser.text_field(:id,/PART/).style.invoke('left')

when I try it in firefox I get   Exception: "undefined method `invoke'
for "[object CSSStyleDeclaration]":String" has Occurred

I feel as though I'm close I'm just missing something simple.  Am I
using style correctly for firefox

[wtr-general] Getting style information in FireFox

I have a question already posted about using "currentstyle" in Firefox
and the fact that it dosen't work correctly.  Is there another way to
gather style attributes such as left,top, color and so on.  If
possible,  I would like to do this with out modifying the firewatir
files.  if there is a solution that works in both IE and Firefox that
would be best.  Thanks.

In our tests we just read data from these excel spreadsheets then we
use that data to drive our testcases.  There is file out there called
xls.rb, that reads from an excel spreadsheet.  we use this library to
do all of our reading.

OK, I tried working on this for sometime but I haven't come up with
anything that works.  I think my problem is that I am not familiar
with jssh command language and how it works.  maybe if I get some help
with one conversion I'll be able to do the rest on my own.

I have this field $Browser.text_field(:id,"part")

In the method I created it pretty much looks like this

fieldID = 'part'
styleID = 'left'
attribute  = $Browser.text_field
(:id,fieldID).document.currentstyle.send(styleID ) #(ruby's send works
awsome for thie)

"attibute" is equal to lefts value

So what I need to to figure out how to input the field ID and property
I'm looking for and have it return the correct value.  Thanks again

[wtr-general] currentstyle not working in firefox

2009-06-04 Thread Loft_Tester

High all,
for our testing of fields properties such as textfields we are using
"currentstyle".  For example, to find the left of the textfield
id=part it would look like "puts $Browser.text_field
(:id,"part").document.currentstyle.left".  This works great in IE.
When I try to run this in firefox my code throws this exception:

 "undefined method `currentstyle' for "":String" has Occurred"

So I tried to Narrow down where the issue lives so I broke the Code Up
like this

test = $Browser.text_field(:id,"part").document
puts test
puts test.currentstyle.left
output:
=>
then the exception is thrown

running the same code in IE:

=>#
=>458px

If you can change the formating of the excel cells were that data is
stored to "text" that would probably be the cheapest resolution for
you.  If you have to change the data once it is already loaded in to
ruby there are many options open to you.

I recommend changing the spreadsheet

[wtr-general] unit test load order

2009-02-03 Thread Loft_Tester

Hi All,

In order to kick off a unit test from a another file we are requiring
that file.  To launch a whole suite of  tests we require multiple
files.  It seems that the order that the test run are dependent on the
class name.  Is there any was to conrtol the order that the test are
run with out changing the names of the classes.  see example below.

require "test1.rb" # class testset_1
require "test2.rb" # class testset_2
require "test3.rb" # class testset_3
require "test4.rb" # class testset_4
require "test5.rb" # class testset_5
require "test6.rb" # class testset_6
require "test7.rb" # class testset_7
require "test8.rb" # class testset_8
require "test9.rb" # class testset_9
require "test10.rb" # class testset_10
require "test11.rb" # class testset_11
require "test12.rb" # class testset_12

The order I require the files in is the order that I would like the
test to run in.  However,  the order seems dependant on class names
here is the order that my test run.

require "test1.rb" # class testset_1
require "test10.rb" # class testset_10
require "test11.rb" # class testset_11
require "test12.rb" # class testset_12
require "test2.rb" # class testset_2
require "test3.rb" # class testset_3
require "test4.rb" # class testset_4
require "test5.rb" # class testset_5
require "test6.rb" # class testset_6
require "test7.rb" # class testset_7
require "test8.rb" # class testset_8
require "test9.rb" # class testset_9

Without changing the names of the classes or files is there a way to
control the test start order
