Re: [Wtr-general] OT: Regular Expression help
Hi Paul.
Just a few notes.
The “^” I believe is an anchor tag to the beginning of the line, so having a
bunch of these probably caused some of your problems.
Here’s a regex that I came up with.
I used the “?” qualifier to make the regex non-greedy – which probably would
have been the next thing that you ran into.
paul=~/\".*?\"\t\".*?\"\t\".*?\"\t\"(.*?)\"\t\"(.*?)\"/
I tested this real quick (below) and it looks to work
irb(main):015:0> paul=File.open("C:/temp/paul.txt")
=> #
irb(main):016:0> pop=paul.gets
=> "\"one\"\t\"1\"\t\" 0.1234\"\t\"0\"\t\"4\"\n"
irb(main):017:0> pop=~/\".*?\"\t\".*?\"\t\".*?\"\t\"(.*?)\"\t\"(.*?)\"/
=> 0
irb(main):018:0> $1
=> "0"
irb(main):019:0> $2
=> "4"
As an aside, what’s wrong with reading the line, then splitting it into an
array?
I think that would have been much more readable than using the regex soln.
Regards

Subject: [Wtr-general] OT: Regular Expression help
Hi there. After several hours of looking at this problem, I've decided to ask
for some help.
Here's the problem: I have an input text file that has a series of values
stored like this:
"one" "1" " 0.1234" "0" "4"
"two" "3" "1." "1" "0"
...
I want the values in the 4th and 5th quotes on each line. I originally thought
about dumping each line 'split' into an array and working with the array, but
then I thought it might save me time if I could just figure out the regular
expression to get the right values.
I've read through an online Regular Expression tutorial, reviewed a few books,
and downloaded two apps (PowerGREP and Regexile) to help me try and figure this
out but so far no luck.
Here's the line I started with:
line =~ /^\"[^"]*"\t\"[^"]*"\t\"[^"]*"\t\"([^"]*)"\t\"([^"]*)"\t/
=> Expect $1 and $2 to hold the values I want... the (bracketed) regex's
- I tried switching the \t with \s but no luck
- tried adding and removing extra backslashes around the quotes, but nothing
- tried adding and removing all sorts of other characters but still can't get
it to work.
Can anyone help me figure out how to parse these input lines in a quick and
efficient way? I wanted to avoid having to rely on arrays, but I'm ready to
give up and use them right about now.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance. Paul C.
(P.S. the *actual* input file has something like 20 values on each line. If I
can figure out the pattern above for the simplified input file, I'm sure I can
apply it to the larger real input file.)

Re: [Wtr-general] Storing shorthand variables in a module
I’ve been trying to store a list of nodes as variables, accessible from a
module, but don’t think it is suitable:
tt_choose_patient = ie.frame("left").link(:index, 3)
tt_diabetes= ie.frame("left").link(:index, 6)
(etc)
[Arkie]
Without having some source to look at, I would have to ask if there is some
type of immutable attribute available that you can reference instead?
Id’s or name or even href might be good choices. Using a regex might be useful
as well.
The reason being that there are a load of these nodes and accessing them
through the index is brittle. What I ‘d like is for scripts to be able to
access the node without having to specify right down to the level of the node-
that way if the nodes changed, I can do one update and all the test scripts
remain ok.
I want to be able to include the module and do something like
tt_choose_patient.click
Any suggestions?

Possibly i'm unlucky.. or
just haven't read enough of the archives.
I'm trying to test an ASP.NET web app.. that has 3
frames.
I essentially, cannot get more than about 2% of anything to work haha.
When I first start up.. if I do
ie.frame("detail").show_all_objects().. I get a bunch of stuff.
Now.. if I do ie.frame("header").link(:url,
/users/).click... the page refreshes.. the detail frame is full of
stuff... I can view source and see the HTML.. button's etc...
But now if I do ie.frame("detail"). anything.. doesn't matter..
.links .buttons .text_fields... I get nothing back.. ever.
Is it well known that it is impossible to test dynamically generated ASP.NET stuff with Watir? (that being said,
every execution, every time, yields identical HTML in view source).
Thanks,
Roger

Re: [Wtr-general] Problem with element_by_xpath?
Hi folks.
I was using the element_by_xpath to try to interact with "FreeTextBox" (FTB).
FTB is a ASP.NET component that allows users to do some online editing.
Supposedly there is an interface that I can use to interact with it, and I
wanted to see if I actually could in my own clumsy way.
I consider FTB to be my nemesis. I know I can get it to work... just finding
out the "how". Its been quite a journey, and I'm getting closer all the time.

Re: [Wtr-general] frame.contains_text missing with gem build 1081?
Hey Bret.
I've logged the issue in Jira. Thanks for confirming that this was indeed a
problem. Also thanks for the workaround. I was using html.include? I like
using text better. After thinking about it, I'm disappointed that I wasn't
thinking about using "text" to workaround the "contains_text" issue. LOL
Regards

Please log this as a regression bug in Jira.
Workaround is
ie.frame("top").text.include? "there"

[Wtr-general] frame.contains_text missing with gem build 1081?
Hi folks.
Environment:
Windoze XP pro
Ruby 1.8.5 – One click installer.
Watir 1.5.1.1081 – gem install
I was looking at a page that contains frames, and I had some
trouble using the following command under irb:
ie.frame("top").contains_text("there")
-> undef’d method “contains_text”
Then issuing
ie.frame(“top”).public_methods
It appears that contains_text is no longer available as a
public method to a frame.
I’m going to see if I can come up with a different way
to verify my results page, but I thought that someone might have some insight
on this one.
Thanks

Re: [Wtr-general] Problem with element_by_xpath?
Hi Angrez.
Ahhh.. yes I used the wrong Xpath query.
I’ll double check that from now on.
One thing that would help me is a unittest
that specifically exercises the element_by_xpath call. I didn’t find one with the
Watir 1081 gem install. Maybe you have one lying around somewhere?
I’m still getting the same error (from
original message) with the call on my machine though.
REXML::ParseException.
I ran the unittests for REXML, and they
mainly passed. (The ones that failed appear to be missing the test files in
the REXML 3.1.5 distribution).
I’m going to have to investigate this a
little more on my end.
Thanks

Hi Alan,
The way you are using XPath query is not the correct way. You can take the help
of this tutorial to write correct XPath _expression_:
http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp
In your case the correct XPath _expression_ would be:
element = ie.element_by_xpath("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'q']")
First you should use the tag names that are visible on the HTML source and not
the tagnames that are supplied by watir. Like you should have used 'input'
instead of 'text_field' which is watir specific. Also you should gives
quotes(single or double) while giving the selection criteria.
The above code works for me. Let me know if you still have any problems.

Re: [Wtr-general] Inputing text into a that is containedwithin a
Hey there.
Your editor looks similar to “FreeTextBox”
which I was looking to test against.
I had no luck in my investigations, but I
have also been pretty busy with other things lately.
One thing that I was going to try is ask
around to see if one of the developers could interact with the editor using
_vbscript_. Usually, if it can be modified successfully in _vbscript_, finding the
Ruby way isn’t that far of a reach.
Just a though.

I'd been getting several emails from people who were wondering whether the project had been abandoned. http://www.io.com/~wazmo/blog/archives/2006_07.html#000240 Watir 1.5 is Under Active Development Many observers have wondered whether Watir is still being developed. If you look at our Rubyforge site, you'll see that our "last release": http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104&release_id=2725 was August 2005 and our "last code changes":http://wtr.rubyforge.org/statcvs/commit_log.htm ) were made in February of this year. But actually, Watir is under active development. We've moved our source repository and many of the other project resources over to our "new home at OpenQA.org": http://openqa.org/watir/. Things are spread out right now, and it's somewhat confusing. Here is a map for where to find the most current information about our project. *Home Pages.* Our "home page at Rubyforge": http://wtr.rubyforge.org is still the best place for new users to start. It describes the latest fully supported, fully documented version of Watir (namely 1.4.1). Our "home page at OpenQA":http://www.openqa.org/watir links to the project resources at our new home. And our "wiki home page":http://wiki.openqa.org/projects/wtr is the best place to find the most recent information about the project. *Releases.* We are providing regular "development releases": http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds (Ruby gems) of the work in progress for Watir 1.5 at OpenQA. When 1.5 becomes ready for official release, it will be released at our "existing Rubyforge location": http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtr/, and therefore available automatically when you "gem install watir". *Mailing List & Support.* We continue to use the "wtr-general":http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general mailing list at Rubyforge as our primary discussion list. This is the best place to ask your questions about Watir. You'll have to subscribe before you can post. The "archives":http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general contain answers to many common questions. OpenQA provides a "web-based forum":http://forums.openqa.org/forum.jspa?forumID=5&start=15, but this isn't monitored by as many people. *Wiki & FAQ.* We have moved our "wiki":http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home over to OpenQA. This includes our "FAQ": http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FAQ, which is frequently updated. *Buglist.* We are now using "Jira":http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR to track bugs and features at OpenQA. The "old trackers": http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=104 at Rubyforge will be closed down soon. *Source Repository.* We now use the "Subversion repository at OpenQA": http://openqa.org/watir/cvs.action. The "CVS repository at Rubyforge":http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=104 is no longer being used. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: [Wtr-general] FreeTextBox & Watir
I've got a line open with the author of FTB to see why this is. When you
include the free version of FTB, all you get is a DLL to link into your
project. I'm hoping that the author will be able to give me a little more
insight into the pieces that are being displayed.
I do know about the frame (there are actually two of them), but I'm unsure on
why they are there, or how/if I should be able to actually set text on the
fields.
For now I have a clumsy workaround - sleep for 15 seconds while I paste the
text into the field. Its frustrating that I could not do
ie.text_area(:id,"ctl0_MainBody_PolicyHtmlEditor").set("hi")
on the object. Grrr.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you have to find the way around. LOL.

So it is. You realize you have a frame or iframe there, right?
That's the "HTML Document" bit.

If you click in it and then from irb do

Re: [Wtr-general] FreeTextBox & Watir
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the suggestion.
We're using FreeTextBox in an Iframe, but when I try to access the field, I'm
getting
WIN32OLERuntimeError: focus
OLE error code:800A083E in htmlfile
Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or
of a type that does not accept the focus.
I can read lots of attributes from the field (contents, name, id, etc), but it
does not appear that I am able to *set* any value for it.
So now I'm multitasking - tossing it to the list while I go searching the world
for the answer. Wish me luck!
-Alan

Ive never tried to test one, but Ive looked at similar things for inclusion in
some projects Ive been working on.
They are normally just a text area, so:
ie.text_field(:index,1).set('Hello, world")
should probably do it

[Wtr-general] FreeTextBox & Watir
Hi listfolks. Has anyone had to try to test a page that is using FreeTextBox? www.freetextbox.com I’d like to chat with you if you have. Thanks -Alan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [Wtr-general] WIN32OLERuntimeError redux - innertext
Hi guys.
Just wanted to report back to the list on
this issue.
What I had done:
Put watir/waiter into my 1.4.1 version of
watir. I also had to update watir/exceptions.rb as well.
Initially I thought that was working, but
after running more tests, the error still appears once in a while.
The next suggestion was to upgrade my
Watir version to 1.5. I’ll try this at a future time, but not at this moment.
Thanks for the suggestions.

That confirms that it is
a synchronization problem. I think those useless calls are really the moral
equivalent of sleep statements.
Probably the cleanest and most reliable solution would be to use this after
your call to IE.attach:
require 'watir/waiter'
WATIR::Waiter.wait_until { $ie.some_element_i_know_should_be_there.exists?
}
Although this library is packaged with Watir 1.5, it is a separate file
(watir/waiter.rb) and can be used with 1.4 if you copy it over manually.

like this:
xUselessVariable =
$ie.contains_text('it_would_never_contain_this_phrase')
xUselessVariable =
$ie.contains_text('it_would_never_contain_this_phrase_either')
and just ignore the return values... and do your actions/assertions after
this.
I've did it twice because once helped, but didn't solve it everytime.
I'm not running into those issues anymore.
I know it's a hack, but it sure worked for me. Hope it helps someone else
out there.

$ie.set_fast_speed()
navigateToInbox($ie)
But depending on what is
in navigateToInbox, i can't tell if that is the problem here.
Can you show the code in navigateToInbox?
And if this change fixes your problem, let us know. I'm wondering if we
shouldn't release this fix as 1.4.2.

Re: [Wtr-general] Welcome to the "Wtr-general" mailing list (Digestmode)
I am not aware of any out of the box integration with any defect tracking/ RM tools, but that is not to say that it can't be done. Since Watir is written in ruby, and you can pretty much do anything you want to in Ruby, it probably can be done. But it will probably require some investment on your part to make it work. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Muralidhar, M Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 9:35 AM To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Welcome to the "Wtr-general" mailing list (Digestmode) Hi, I want to know if WATIR can be integrated with a defect tracking and a requirement management tool?
