[wtr-general] Re: About Javascript Popups/Dialogue Box
Hello Aami..,
I was not able to reach the site - ('http://www.irctc.co.in/').
However, here is a method that works for me
at the Google site:
***
require 'test/unit'
require 'watir/ie'
require 'win32ole'
require 'watir\contrib\enabled_popup'
def jsClick( a, button, user_input=nil)
waitTime=30
hwnd = $ie.enabled_popup(waitTime)
puts("wait time = 30")
if (hwnd)
puts("if = hwnd")
w = WinClicker.new
if ( user_input )
puts("if = user input")
w.setTextValueForFileNameField(hwnd, "#{user_input}")
end
sleep 3
puts ("CLICK THE BUTTON")
w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, "#{button}")
w=nil
end
end
test_site = "http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en";
$ie = Watir::IE.new
$ie.goto test_site
$ie.maximize()
$ie.radio(:id,"slc").set
$ie.button(:name,"submit2").click_no_wait
sleep 5
jsClick( $ie, "OK")
jsClick( $ie, "OK")
# The popup click works when jsClick is called twice, the first click
# just highlights the popup box. The second click does the trick
#
***

Darryl

[wtr-general] Re: Frame, nested frame
Hello, You might want to try the Webmetrics watir recorder. Very useful for creating scripts. http://www.webmetrics.com/products/script_recorder.html I'm working on projects that have objects nested inside of frames that are 3 levels deep. The downside is that it can't do anything with pop ups - but hey there are several methods already available.

[wtr-general] Read text from a text_field
Ok - I realize that this is a simple question...but I'm a newbie.
I can write strings to text fields with no problem. I'm now trying to
read text from specific text fields and then do a compare that results
in a true or false result. I don't want to search the entire page, I
just want to focus on the exact index that I wrote to.
# This is the text that I want to read:
$ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).form(:name,
'configSnmpAccess').text_field(:name, 'accessIpAddress?3').set
('126.4.100.102')
Thanks,
Gem Dandy

OK - Next dumb questions - 1) where should the value appear? I though that it would show up in the command window 2) Once I can get hold of the value, what is the simple syntax for the compare.

[wtr-general] Re: Pulling hair out on screen scraping
Bissquitt,
Thank you for poking the proverbial 'beehive'. I am a Watir/Ruby
newbie too.
I've posted some really basic questions here questions on this group
as well.
My background is mainly in hardware test automation, BASIC, and VB
Script.
Kudos to all the responses to this post. I too am trying to run before
walking.
I'm just so excited about the potential of Watir that I can sit still.
After one month of tinkering, with what little I know, I've already
automated 30% of our web configuration tests at my job.
The links included here will keep me busy for awhile.
Thanks again to all,
Gem (newbie) Dandy

[wtr-general] Re: Please help - getting error 'Unable to locate element'
Hello H2006, If you can't identify the element with the IE Developer toolbar or Firebug (my favorite), Give Webmetrics a try. It's basically a Watir recorder /helper and will get you started.

[wtr-general] Re: Best Way for Checking Name Fields?
Rob,
Give the below script a try. It puts 'whatever ' (with trailing
space)
into a text box in this thread and then checks to see if it contains
'whatever' (no trailing space).
***
=begin
##
This is a short test to reveal the text in a entry
box what is expected (or not expected).
##
=end
require 'watir/ie'
require 'watir/WindowHelper'
require 'test/unit'
require 'win32ole'
# open a browser
$ie = Watir::IE.new
$ie.goto("http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general/browse_thread/
thread/2751583d3eb37e50")
$ie.form(:name, 'gs2').text_field(:name, 'q').set('\'whatever \'')
# Flash the table cell System Name text
$ie.form(:name, 'gs2').text_field(:name, 'q').flash
# Reveal the System Name text
myValue = $ie.form(:name, 'gs2').text_field(:name, 'q').value
puts "My value is " + myValue
sleep 1
if (myValue == "whatever")
puts "Test passed"
else
puts "Test failed"
end
sleep 5
$ie.close

Let me know if you have any problems. good luck,

Hold the presses -
I just ran another test on this and it doesn't pass when
checking for the correct text. I'll post another update soon.

[wtr-general] Re: will watir-1.6.2 support pop-up message
Hello Malar,
Here is an example of what works for me. I've added '.flash' to the
button clicks make it easy follow.
As infoDrone mentioned, click_no_wait must be used on the button that
precedes the popup.
You may need to adjust 'waitTime = 30'. It takes a while for the popup
to appear - just be patient
I'm using the same environment as yours - Ruby-186.26 and
Watir-1.6.2
Can someone comment on why it takes the popup so long to appear?
###
require 'watir/ie'
require 'win32ole'
require 'watir\contrib\enabled_popup'
def jsClick( a, button, user_input=nil)
waitTime=30
hwnd = $ie.enabled_popup(waitTime)
if (hwnd)
w = WinClicker.new
if ( user_input )
puts("if = user input")
w.setTextValueForFileNameField(hwnd, "#{user_input}")
end
sleep 3
w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, "#{button}")
w=nil
end
end
test_site = "http://www.google.com";
$ie = Watir::IE.new
$ie.goto test_site
$ie.maximize()
$ie.link(:text, 'Preferences').flash
$ie.link(:text, 'Preferences').click
$ie.radio(:id,"slc").flash
$ie.radio(:id,"slc").set
$ie.button(:name,"submit2").focus
$ie.button(:name,"submit2").flash
$ie.button(:name,"submit2").click_no_wait
jsClick( $ie, "OK")
sleep 5
$ie.close

[wtr-general] Watir::Waiter.wait_until not working with nested frames
Hello all,
I'm having trouble with Watir::Waiter.wait_until. My goal is to wait
until a button is present before clicking it.
I'm trying replace the sleeps with wait_until.
1) This works:
sleep 5
$ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 1).button(:id,
'editButton').click
2) This doesn't work:
Watir::Waiter.wait_until{$ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).frame
(:index, 1).button(:id, 'editButton').exists?}
$ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 1).button(:id,
'editButton').click
cmd line errors:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/frame.rb:40:in
`locate': Unable to locate a frame with index 1
(Watir::Exception::UnknownFrameException)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/frame.rb:
47:in `initialize'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/container.rb:
102:in `new'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/container.rb:
102:in `frame'
from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/
MPX_LowCrntAlm.rb:77
3) This tests indicates that the "wait_until" works, but using a sleep
ahead of it defeats my purpose.
sleep 5
Watir::Waiter.wait_until{$ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).frame
(:index, 1).button(:id, 'editAButton').exists?}
$ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 1).button(:id,
'editButton').click
Here I have changed the "button id" and the "wait_until" times out at
60.x seconds as expected.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Darryl (gem dandy) Brown

[wtr-general] Help......trouble with Watir::Waiter.wait_until
Hello all,
Help...I'm having trouble with "Watir::Waiter.wait_until". My goal is
to wait
until a button is present before clicking it.
I'm trying replace the sleeps with wait_until.
1) This works:
sleep 5
$ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 1).button(:id,
'editButton').click
2) This doesn't work:
Watir::Waiter.wait_until{$ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).frame
(:index, 1).button(:id, 'editButton').exists?}
$ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 1).button(:id,
'editButton').click
Do anyone have any suggestions? Is there a trick to making it work
with a nested button? The portion of the page that contains the button
loads slow sometimes.
Thanks,
Darryl

[wtr-general] Re: Help......trouble with Watir::Waiter.wait_until
Hi Jam,
The code goes into a loop and never comes out. Any other thoughts ?
until($ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 1).button
(:id, 'editbutton').exist?)
$ie.wait(5)
puts "loop"
end

Shouldn't it exit the wait after 5 seconds?

[wtr-general] Re: Help......trouble with Watir::Waiter.wait_until
Hello Jam and Everyone else,
The "Watir::Waiter.wait_until" and the "until" methods work just fine.
I was using id: 'editbutton' in my wait function.
Should have used id:'editButton'
The old big "B"-vs- little "b" issue.
Thanks again,
Darryl

[wtr-general] Re: ie.test_field(name,"man").value.to_s / Passing result to a parameter
maximore,
Here is a simple example for "to_s" usage -
require 'watir/ie'
$ie = Watir::IE.new
$ie.goto("www.google.com")
example = $ie.link(:text, 'Preferences').text.to_s
puts example
sleep 2
$ie.close
You may want to change your statement to:
result=ie.test_field(name,"dayOfBirth").name.to_s
Change "value" to "name"

Hello Chandu,
Sorry, I didn't finish my thoughts at the end of the earlier reply -
For future posts, it is advisable to reduce the script down to the
problem
area if possible. In this case, perhaps leave off the lines after the
jsclick call.

There is not a way of clicking on text within a table.
However, you can read the text from a table.
Example:
mytext = $ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).table(index, 2)[1]
[1].text
puts mytext

[wtr-general] Re: Time to learn Watir
Hello Swapnal, If you have a curiosity for computers in general and like to learn if you enjoy 'chasing the 'rabbit', you will do well. Prior experience with automation and programming will make the journey shorter - approx. 3 months. No experience - 6 -9 months to be productive. I'm not saying that it's easy, but I can say that it's fun. Try the best you can.then post questions here.

[wtr-general] Re: Testing Email
Hello Bret, I'm doing email testing on our web based monitoring cards. Currently using a tweaked version of the Python mock SMTP server - mailsink.py. It displays the emails in the console and you can save them to a log file as well. I'm reading the log file with Ruby to validate the message content. The tweak adds message count and time stamp Using it with Python 2.5.2 Usage: C:\>Python25\Python.exe C:\Python_SMTP_Server\mailsink.py test 1.2.3.2 Where: "test" is a log file that will contains the transactions. 1.2.3.2 = Host PC (Put your PC IP here) C:\Python_SMTP is the location of the script I can email the tweaked mailsink.py if you'd like.

[wtr-general] How to determine frame indexing
Hello All, All of the web pages that I test use nested frames. I have used webmetrics quite a bit to identify nested elements. I've also used the irb / flash method to identify the elements. Our newer webserver is using ajax and webmetrics is no longer effective. I've been trying to use Firebug to identify the elements and am not successful determining the nesting. Does anyone use Firebug or any other tool for this? An example is: ie.frame(:index, 3).frame(:index, 3).checkbox(:id, 'enableWebCfgCtrl').set(set_or_clear=true) Thx, Darryl --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] how to handle an immediate popup
Our test team is facing an interesting challenge with a popup. The web server that we are testing has a password protected mode wherein when the url is accessed, there is an immediate login popup. There is no opportunity to use a "click_no_wait" as there are no buttons to click - the first thing that appears is the popup. It's like we need a "ie.goto 'test_site'.no_wait" command. Thanks in advance for any insight on this. Darryl --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

[wtr-general] Re: Clear cache and temporary internet internet explorer files.
Hi Chandrika,
Try the following code:
path = File.dirname(__FILE__) << '/'
cache = path << "del_cache.rb"
system "ruby #{cache}"
1) This assumes that del_cache.rb is in the same directory
as the calling script. Change path to suite your needs.
2) Un-comment line 200 in del_cache.rb to see how many items
are deleted when the script is ran.
