[wtr-general] Re: Handle Failures in Watir
Hi! If you know which elements are likely to be missing, you could add a verification that the element exists, which would trigger a failure if it's missing and then add a conditional to act on it. A Test::Unit example would be: verify((ie.link(:text, 'My Link').exists?), message='My Link didn't exist on the page.') if ie.link(:text, 'My Link').exists? ie.link(:text, 'My Link').click end If there are many element that are likely to be missing, you may want to consider adding some good exception handling. There's a discussion here: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/How+to+wait+with+Watir Hope this helps! -Tiffany On Feb 4, 9:55 am, tester86 sagar.am...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Question for the watir group.

You could do it a couple of ways. 1. Use an if/else statement (as seen here - http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Example+Logging) if condition=true # log pass else # log fail end 2. Use the Exception class: Here's the basic syntax: begin # do something rescue # log the failure if it fails. end For more detailed info, I'd strongly suggest getting familiar with http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/tut_exceptions.html and/or http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Exception.html orde On Feb 4, 8:55 am, tester86 sagar.am...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Question for the watir group.

Hi I have been using if/else statements in my scripts but I was just wondering if there was other ways that I could handle exceptions. Thanks for your help.

I'm able to use begin/rescue/end for 99% of cases. Normally I'll collect the error into an array for logging or an email report afterward. Using those conventions, the script never stops, and I don't have to be glued to the console to find out when it breaks.
