[wtr-general] Re: Automating a File uploader popup
Hey orde, You are right. There is an object tag associated with it and that button is a Flash implementation. I have come across that we have flash supported extension for watir flashwatir. Just was wondering if its useable. Or is there an alternative solution like using some windowsole api to handle this.

Is there an object tag associated with the page element that you're trying to access? If you right-click on the page element using Firefox, do you see an overlay about About Adobe Flash Player? If so, my understanding is that out-of-the-box watir doesn't support flash, so the above solutions won't necessarily work.

I briefly tried flash-watir, but it's firefox only. I know that Selenium has some flash-testing capacity, but I haven't tried it. orde --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Watir General group.

Watir use AutoIt For file uploading. set method for file_field looks
like
def set(setPath)
assert_exists
require 'watir/windowhelper'
WindowHelper.check_autoit_installed
begin
thrd = Thread.new do
system(rubyw -e \require 'win32ole'; @autoit=WIN32OLE.new
('AutoItX3.Control'); waitresu...@autoit.winwait 'Choose file', '',
15; sleep 1; if waitresult == 1\ -e \@autoit.ControlSetText 'Choose
file', '', 'Edit1', '#{setPath}'; @autoit.ControlSend 'Choose file',
'', 'Button2', '{ENTER}';\ -e \end\)
end
thrd.join(1)
rescue
raise Watir::Exception::WatirException, Problem accessing
Choose file dialog
end
click
end
You can try to invoke this autoit code after clicking the span or
rewrite this method for Span class

[wtr-general] Re: Automating a File uploader popup
Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately I tried to automate the click event for
the span and it didn't popup the upload file window.
I saw that watir identified the button and even clicked it, but nothing
happened. But when I try to do the same manually it works fine.
Source code for the page under test:
a href=# class=linkbutton alt
span class=left/span
span id=spnUploadButton class=middleUpload your images to
MOO/span
span class=right/span
/a
Watir command executed:
#$ie.span(:id,spnUploadButton).fire_event(OnMouseDown)
#$ie.span(:id,spnUploadButton).fire_event(OnMouseUp)
$ie.span(:id,spnUploadButton).click
NOTE: I tried both click method as well as fire_events. None worked.
Thanks,
Natasha

[wtr-general] Re: Automating a File uploader popup
Hi Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately I don't think it will help, as it looks for HTML tag input type = file :( But following is the piece of code that invokes the popup in my case: div a href=# class=linkbutton alt span class=left/span span id=spnUploadButton class=middleUpload your images to MOO/span span class=right/span /a /div And the above is using a Flash method to invoke File uploader.
