[wtr-general] FireWatir Read Only Exception
I'm trying to automate a script that will read the FireFox
about:config page. To do this I want to put text into the filter
textbox, search for it then search the page for a specific string if
it's there put a pass if not put a fail and run it to a spread sheet.
The problem I am having is I'm being told that the textbox is read
only. I can manually type in the textbox and search for values I just
can't seem to do it using Firewatir. Has anyone else had any
experience with this?
Here is my code so far.
require 'firewatir'
include FireWatir
ff=Firefox.new
ff.goto('about:config')
ff.text_field(:id, 'textbox').set 'browser.chrome.favicons'
The error returned for me is
`assert_not_readonly': Textfield id and textbox is read only.
(Watir::Exception::ObjectReadOnlyException)

[wtr-general] Web Page Front End
Has anyone ever tried putting a web page in front of their watir scripts for execution? I'm using rails and can't seem to figure out how to get a method inside of my controller that can open a new page. What I want to do is place a button on a page that when clicked by a user opens an internal web app and logs into it. Hope that makes sense. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Web Page Front End
Hello, I am trying to put a web gui in front of my test scripts for execution by other people who have no interest in learning watir. I am running rails for this and am having trouble getting it to launch a web browser. I can create a rails app and run it locally on port 3000, so far I can get that to launch just fine. I added a link on the home page that when clicked I would like for it to launch a new IE browser and use some credentials I am setting to log in. What I am seeing it do is launch a new browser process in the background but then doesn't seem to do anything and I have to kill my mongrel server and manually close the IE processes from Task Manager. Does anyone have any experience adding a web gui in front of their scripts in order to execute them? -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.

[wtr-general] Soap with Savon gem
For a project at work I need the ability to submit transactions using soap calls. I tried searching the group and the only posts I could find were for soap4r. From what I've read soap4r does not work well and I found a gem called savon. Supposedly it's easier and more lightweight than soap4r but I can't find any basic examples of simply submitting a soap request. All the examples I do find are more complicated than this where the writers are trying to do something quite more involved. Can anyone here show me a simple request of submitting a soap request using savon? We are using basic auth no ssl and my soap envelope has no header. Here is the call I am making http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/ envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://service.webservice.com/";> 2010-08-13 2010-08-23 ? ? ? ? CA 93230 DIRECT All I want to do is submit this to an endpoint and capture the response. If someone could show me a simple example I would greatly appreciate it. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.

I know how to create the file and read it and run SQL inside my script I just can't seem to grab the data out of the file and insert it into my query. Thanks in advance if anyone has any help.

[wtr-general] Re: using data from a csv file
Hi Alex, Thanks for replying. I Googled CSV::Loader and it came back with some message boards talking about it and a few sites that have it to download but they all list it as a plugin for AWB and I found a site that has it listed as a Linux plugin. I am running WATIR in Windows as this is what my company uses. I wasn't able to find a solution by simply Googling CSV::Loader On Feb 12, 12:43 am, Alex Collins wrote: > Do a quick search on Google for CSV::Loader - this will allow you to > load a csv easily.

[wtr-general] Creating a header row in excel
Hello,
I receive the following error trying to create a new spreadsheet with
the following code
require 'watir'
require 'win32ole'
excel = WIN32OLE::new('excel.Application')
workbook = excel.Workbooks.Add
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1)
worksheet.SaveAs("spreadsheet.xls")
worksheet.range("a1").value = 'Start Time'
workbook.save
workbook.close
excel.Quit
The error I get is
test.rb:6:in `method_missing': SaveAs (WIN32OLERuntimeError)
OLE error code:800A03EC in Microsoft Office Excel
Cannot access 'test.xls'.
HRESULT error code:0x80020009
Exception occurred. from test.rb:6
I am using excel 2007 and the code I am using is pulled straight from
the example on the watir wiki at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watir#Write_Output_to_Excel_.28as_XLS.29
Has anyone ever encountered this or know what the problem is?

[wtr-general] Re: Creating a header row in excel
I've been messing around with this some more and discovered that if I
use
require 'watir'
require 'win32ole'
excel = WIN32OLE::new('excel.Application')
workbook = excel.Workbooks.Add
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1)
worksheet.SaveAs("\ spreadsheet.xls")
worksheet.range("a1").value = "Start Time"
workbook.save
workbook.close
excel.Quit
a new file is created but it goes to "My Documents" I have tried
putting in ./ or ../ or ../../ (In line 6 worksheet.SaveAs("\
spreadsheet.xls")) and none of these will change the path. For some
reason \ will not work and I must use /
Does anyone know how I can change the path it saves to?

Thanks for the reply Lily, I've tried a couple different things and I
just keep getting "ruby: No such file or directory -- creating
(LoadError)". I haven't put a lot of investigating into it yet though
so I'll keep trying. I appreciate the info.
