[wtr-general] Re: Weird timing behavior when using assert(object.exists?) when widgets exist.

[Moochie]

The issue I was having had to do with an error on the page within one
of the widgets.

It was a struts error (whatever that is)

Once I removed that widget, it ran without hanging.

[wtr-general] Wildcards

[Moochie]

If I have a cell with the following (05-07-2009 09:00 AM)) and I only
want to validate the Date and AM or PM, we use wildcards to represent
the data we doen't want to compare.  Using the following function.

excel_value = 05-07-2009 * AM
object_text = 05-07-2009 09:00 AM

def format_object_text_when_wildcards_exist(excel_value,object_text)
  wildcard_str = ""
  index = 1
  excel_value.to_s.each_char {|x|
if x == '*'
  wildcard_str = wildcard_str+","+
index.to_s
end
index = index + 1
  }
  #Remove first chacter and splits string
  wildcard_str = wildcard_str[1..-1].split(',')
  #Replace wild cards from the object text
  index = 1
  z = 0
  value = ""
  object_text.to_s.each_char {|y|
if index == wildcard_str[z].to_i
  value = value + "*"
  z = z +1
else
  value = value + y
end
index = index + 1
  }
  return value
end

#Call the function
cell_value = format_object_text_when_wildcards_exist
(excel_value,object_text)

if cell_value = excel_value
  puts "Pass"
else
  puts "Fail"
end

Is there a better way to do this? or a method that uses less lines of
code, please post.

Thanks,

[wtr-general] Weird timing behavior when using assert(object.exists?) when widgets exist.

[Moochie]

When I open a page that has widgets it hangs on assert(object.exists?)

I've tried.

Added a long wait to make sure the page is fully loaded.  Which did
nothing.

I've minimized the page - "which worked"

When it's running, and it starts to hang, I open another browser/or
click different page ot tab and it no longer hangs.

I've put timers in and realized it freezes on the follow:

assert(object_id.exists?) #Any object


if button_id == nil

I opened in Firefox and the page doesn't display errors when using
Firebug. I'm actually testing using IE 7.0.

Has anyone run into this or does anyone have a suggestions?

Thanks

[wtr-general] Re: Firefox: Unable to set listbox that exist in a thickbox\modal

[Moochie]

I was finally able to set the listbox using value

listbox_id.value = '1'

So I'm going to have to uses DB query and get the value from the
database using the text, then set the listbox.

TBODY works nice
table_id.body

How could I create
THEAD
table.head

TFOOT
table.head

I looked for it in table.rb, I was going to see what it took to mimic
table_id.body, but I could even find that.

(:index=>1).text

It displayed the text Like
123 Fake Street 
Crookston, MN 56716 

If I copy that excel cell to the required cell the excel spread sheet
and run the test again it will pass.

The squares in the above were created using Expanded Ascii, but they
don't work when I manually add them in excel cell, so tell the maual
testers to use that when they see a  take will not work.

Does anyone know a way to handle this?

I was thinking maybe using wild cards excel
123 Fake Street*
Crookston, MN 56716*

So everytime I see a * i use .gsub('*',/\.*/) but this will doesn't
work because I cannot convert a regular expression into a string.

Or I could create a function that formats the text to look like.
$ie.p(:text=>/\123 Fake Street/.*/Crookston, MN
56716,:index=>index).exists?

Can anyone help with a soluction to this?

Thanks,

Darin

[wtr-general] Re: slice question

[Moochie]

#0|0|0|3# - #0|0|1|3

excel_value.to_s.slice(/#.*#/)

Gives me this
#0|0|0|3# - #0|0|1|3

how do I get rid of the "-"?

I've tried and a few others

puts excel_value.to_s.slice(/#.*|.*|.*|.*#/)

Gives me this
#0|0|0|3# - #0|0|1|3

I'm trying to include the '|' bars in the slice

Thanks

[wtr-general] Installing Watir

[Moochie]

Why doesn't it automatically update your system setting when
installing ruby?

I have to always repeat the following everytime I upgrade to a newer
version before I can run gem Install watir.

Goto Setting ->Control Panel-> System
Click Advanced Tab
Click Environment Variables
Under Path Variable verify C:\Ruby\bin Exists.  If not add it.
Under PATHEXT Variable verify .RB exists.  If not add it
If variable RUBYOPT Doesn't Exist add it
RUBYOPT - Value = -rubygems

Thanks,

[wtr-general] Issue converting strings

[Moochie]

I'm writing code to be able to mask out a portion of the strings.

excel_value = testops on 02/19/2009*

if excel_value.index("*") != nill  #Equals 21
  puts excel_value
  puts excel_value[0,excel_value.index("*").to_i].to_s.strip
  puts label_id.document.lastChild.nodeValue.to_s.strip
  puts label_id.document.lastChild.nodeValue[0,excel_value.index
("*").to_i].to_s.strip
end

results
testops on 02/19/2009*
testops on 02/19/2009
testops on 02/19/2009 10:44
testops on 02/19/200

Question why did the last statement not display the 9?

[wtr-general] blur

[Moochie]

I've got a test case that enters a value in a text_field.  I then
click next and I'm expecting a message to appear.

The problem is that when I populate the test and click the button it
puts the focus back on the text field and the message never appears.

I talked to a developer and he said it uses java script function blur,
and informed me that I could click else where after I click next and
the message should appear.  So I attempted to click on the heading,
but I'm still unable to get the message appear when the automation
runs.

Is there a better way to deal with object that contain blur?

Thanks

[wtr-general] if $ie.label(:text,label.to_s).exists? - Assertion Error

[Moochie]

if $ie.label(:text,label.to_s).exists?

I'm getting assert_exists:  Unbale to locate element, using :text,
"Text Value"

Are you unable to check if a label exists using text attribute?

Thanks,

[wtr-general] Page Loading Issues

[Moochie]

Occasionally I have a page that doesn’t fully load successfully.
(sometime it waits for a image to be loaded that never seems to get
loaded)

I guessing this is a development issue, but I would like to create a
way to by pass this so I can continue running the test case.

My goal is continues automation, but it difficult when these types of
error exist.

Does anyone know a way to get around this issue?  Maybe disable the
page load wait method?

Yep, that worked.

It appears that using :text and :index together is the issue.

The below fails when I use multiple attributes :text and :index.

def get_label(page,label,index)
  case page
 when "Some Page"
   case label
  when "label"
label_id = $ie.label(:text=>"Reported

end

#This Fails
puts label_id

I'm able to do this when one of the attributes isn't text.

#Works
label_id = $ie.label(:id=>"Blah",:index=>index)

Someone posted this code and it worked really well for me.

#Get actual row count when enbedded tables exists
def get_row_count_minus_enbedded_rows(table)
num_rows=0
begin
  (1..table.row_count).each do |i|
num_rows = i
table[i]
 end
rescue
  end
  return num_rows
end

[wtr-general] Date Add or Subtract

[Moochie]

Incase anyone needs to add or subtract  days, months, years or all of
the above from a known date the following works for me.

require 'date'
#Date Add Function
def date_add(mth,day,yr)
  #Set Date Variable
  @new_date = Date.today
  #Month calculations
  if mth != 0
@new_date = @new_date >> mth
  end
  #Day calculation
  if day != 0
@new_date = @new_date.+(day)
  end
  #Year calculation
  if yr != 0
@new_date = @new_date >> yr * 12
  end
  #Returns new date
  return @new_date
end
@new_date = date_add(2,3,4)
puts @new_date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")

[wtr-general] Re: check the pagetext

[Moochie]

Bret,

When you user browser.text, can you figure out if the text is visible?

I used the pagecontainstext to start with, but it would identify text
that was invisible on the page.

Thanks,

[wtr-general] Re: check the pagetext

[Moochie]

It's hard because text exist in many tags.

I've done the following.

 #Cycles through all the Span Tags
  $ie.spans.each {|span|
#Verify Labe is Visible
if span.visible?.to_s == "true"
  #Label Matches Expected Label
  if text_value == span.text
text_exists_flg = "True"
break
  end
end
  }
  #Iterates through all li tags
  if text_exists_flg == "False"
#Cycles through all the P Tags
$ie.lis.each {|li|
  #Verify unordered list value is Visible
  if li.visible?.to_s == "true"
#unordered list Expected Label
if text_value.gsub(/\r?\n/, " ").strip == li.text.gsub(/\r?
\n/, " ").strip
  text_exists_flg = "True"
  break
end
  end
}
  end
  if text_exists_flg == "False"
#Cycles through all the P Tags
$ie.ps.each {|p|
  #Verify Labe is Visible
  if p.visible?.to_s == "true"
#Label Matches Expected Label
if text_value.to_s.gsub(/\r?\n/, " ").strip ==
p.text.to_s.gsub(/\r?\n/, " ").strip
  text_exists_flg = "True"
  break
end
  end
}
  end
  #Iterates through all the dif tages
  if text_exists_flg == "False"
#Cycles through all the P Tags
$ie.divs.each {|div|
  #Verify Labe is Visible
  if div.visible?.to_s == "true"
#Label Matches Expected Label
if text_value.gsub(/\r?\n/, " ").strip == div.text.gsub(/\r?
\n/, " ").strip
  text_exists_flg = "True"
  break
end
  end
}
  end
  #Cycle through all Table Cells incase the Text Exists within a table
  if text_exists_flg == "False"
$ie.tables.each {|t|
  t.each do|row|
row.each do |cell|
  if cell.text.include?(text_value.to_s.gsub(/\r?\n/, "
").strip).to_s == "true"
text_exists_flg = "True"
break
  end
end
if text_exists_flg == "True"
  break
end
  end
  if text_exists_flg == "True"
break
  end
}
  end
  #Cycle through all Address Tags
  if text_exists_flg == "False"
   $ie.document.getElementsByTagName('ADDRESS').each{|
address|
  #Label Matches Expected Label
  if text_value.gsub(/\r?\n/, "").strip == address.innertext.gsub(/
\r?\n/, " ").strip
text_exists_flg = "True"
break
  end
}
  end
  #Cycle through all DD Tags
  if text_exists_flg == "False"
   $ie.document.getElementsByTagName('DD').each{|dd|
  #Label Matches Expected Label
  if text_value.gsub(/\r?\n/, "").strip == dd.innertext.gsub(/\r?
\n/, " ").strip
text_exists_flg = "True"
break
  end
}
  end
   #Cycle through all LEGEND Tags
  if text_exists_flg == "False"
   $ie.document.getElementsByTagName('LEGEND').each{|address|
  #Label Matches Expected Label
  if text_value.gsub(/\r?\n/, "").strip == address.innertext.gsub(/
\r?\n/, " ").strip
text_exists_flg = "True"
break
  end
}
  end

[wtr-general] Re: Converting Dates Question

[Moochie]

puts DateTime.parse('2007-12-30').strftime('%m/%d/%Y')

Worked, Thanks Andy.

Jason, You're suppose to be on vacation.  Step away from the computer.

Also, I tried that one.  Thanks though.

[wtr-general] Converting Dates Question

[Moochie]

How can I convert the following dateformate?

puts "2007-12-30".strftime("%m/%d/%Y")
puts "2007-12-30".to_a.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")

The I've pulled the date from the database, but I want to format as
12/30/2007.
