[wtr-general] Command executed within a test script behaves differently to when the same command is executed in irb
I am investigating WATIR as a testing tool for a product that we are developing for a client. At this stage I have my tests successfully opening a browser, navigating to a page, entering text into the username and password fields, clicking sign in and verifying that it is on the right page. So in general, it is working well. However, the next thing that I am trying to do is click on a button to begin a wizard. The element html is this: Add a new Quick Event In the irb console the command WatirPageHelper.browser.link(:class => "dialog btn btn-primary add-quick-event").flash causes the correct element to flash. WatirPageHelper.browser.link(:class => "dialog btn btn-primary add-quick-event").click also gets the correct response and opens the wizard as expected. However, when I put this exact same command into a script file and execute that, it instead goes back to the login screen. Logging in on that screen takes me to a completely different part of the app. I've checked the corresponding button that should take me to that part of the app and there is no way that it could be confused with the element that I am identifying, so it's not simply a case of having more than one element identified by the same query. It has a completely different class. I am greatly confused by this and would appreciate any advice. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Fix for ie.close throwing NoMethodError when using ruby 1.92 & watir 1.9.2
I've been using ruby 1.86 and Watir for years. I've been trying to
upgrade to ruby 1.92 so that we don't have to maintain 2 versions of
ruby.
Using the latest version of Watir (1.9.2), one of the only issues I'm
noticing is that any time I call ie.close win32ole in ruby 1.92
raises a NoMethodError instead of WIN32OLERuntimeError.
I've been able to patch this manually, but it's a pain to always re-
patch on on all our workstations every time a new release of watir
comes out.
It would be nice if someone could make the simple change below to fix
the issue in the next release of watir.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE ISSUE:
(when running ruby 1.92 & Watir 1.9.2)
ie = Watir::IE.start('google.com')
ie.close
NoMethodError: unknown property or method: `name'
HRESULT error code:0x800706ba
The RPC server is unavailable.
from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-1.9.2/lib/watir/
ie-class.rb:333:in `method_missing'
from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-1.9.2/lib/watir/
ie-class.rb:333:in `exists?'

ie-class.rb:420:in `close'
from (irb):4
from C:/Ruby192/bin/irb:12:in `'
TO FIX THE ISSUE:
change ie-class.rb:333:in `exists?'
FROM: rescue WIN32OLERuntimeError
TO: rescue WIN32OLERuntimeError, NoMethodError
If someone on the DEV team could make this simple change I'd
appreciate it :)
Thanks!

[wtr-general] Re: Clicking "OK" javascript confirm popup?
I am using solution #6 from
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/JavaScript+Pop+Ups.
The Javascript popup disappears fine, but the underlying web
application does not operate normally.
I change 'Search Settings' in Google. I click on the Save Preferences
button when I have finished
updating the Google Search Settings and then click the OK button on
the Javascript popup.
If I do this manually the page goes back to the Google home page, but
if I do it with Ruby-Watir the
control stays on the Search Settings page.
I have Watir 1.6.7 with ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i386-
mingw32]

[wtr-general] pixel tracking with Celerity
Is it possible to monitor asynchronous calls to other servers? For example, I want to test to make sure our API is being properly implemented on a partner site: 'notify' signals are to be sent to my company's site. I want to log that their JQuery is generatign the 'notify' signals. There are no changes to the browser. The signal is just a request for a pixel on my company's server with a bunch of GET params set which contains all the tracking info.

[wtr-general] ie.modal_dialog(:title, 'Tile') problem
Have a section of code that is waiting for a modal dialog to appear which is visible with the title ‘'Batch Update -- Web Page Dialog’ modal = @ie.modal_dialog(:title, 'Batch Update -- Web Page Dialog') modal.wait modal.button(:value,'Yes').click_no_wait However the dialog is not being found by title. Is there a problem with finding modal_dialog by title? Is there another way to do this? I am using Ruby 1.8.6 I tried just modal = @ie.modal_dialog which should work according to the API documentation but I see there is a problem with this approach, even though there can be only one modal dialog at a time on screen and this seems like an ideal way to attach to a modal dialog. I get the following error: IE#modal_dialog not supported with the current version of Ruby (1.8.6). See http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-2 for details. undefined method `connect_unknown' for WIN32OLE:Class David --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Re: Using Watir to test AS400 mainframe AND testing strategy
Hi, QTP certainly does work as required but licensing costs are a major issue therefore I am trying to address the significant licensing costs associated with QTP by scoping out the benefits of Open Source tools. I understand that Watir is designed for driving Web Browsers but I had hoped that there would be an "add-in" a la the QTP add in to drive the green screens which are effectively the same in many respects as imputing data via a browser window. There are two other issues involved 1. We have a large number of Winrunner Scripts that will need to move to a new platform we have looked at WinQuick which is not 100% and this again makes me seek another alternative. 2. We also test a variety of browser based software this is currently done via QTP therefore strategically any move I would contemplate would demand that so far as is possible all testing should be on a single platform with a single scripting language. Id be grateful to hear if others are in a similar situation and how this is being approached.

[wtr-general] Using Watir to test AS400 mainframe
Hi all, I am trying to find out if there is a way of testing "green screens" on an AS400? We are currently using QTP with the terminal emulator add-in to preform this task.
