I find that WatirMaker is only useful to build a raw framework for a script.

Re: [Wtr-general] Fwd: Managing the Watir Project -- Wikipedia entry
A separate issue is whether the Wikipedia article should include code that only works with an experimental library in an unreleased version of Watir. A valid point. I do point out immediately following the example that it may be necessary to download and install the current development Watir gem rather than using the standard Watir release to make sure people are aware of this. I assume that when the 1.5.x release is available, that this feature will be incorporated even if it is from that separate directory. In the mean time, people who read the article are informed that if they want to use this bit of code, they need the development gem and not the standard release. - Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=4501messageID=12677#12677 ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Fwd: Managing the Watir Project -- Wikipedia entry
Sorry to vent, but I'm the author of the enabled_popup() method (which has been removed from watir.rb) and the one that helped Sun solve his problem when he presented it to the list. If enabled_popup() has in fact been removed entirely, this will be a problem I think -- since I need the WinClicker to handle my popups. Other techniques (identified in the FAQ) in fact did not function for me -- at all -- which is why I used the code I did.

A comment -- when substituting this:
===
#Ensure popup won't block Watir
ie.button(:name, btnG).click_no_wait
ie.dialog.button('OK').click
===
for this:
===
#Ensure popup won't block Watir
ie.button(:name, btnG).click_no_wait
#Handle the popup
hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(5)
if (hwnd) #yes there is a popup
p hwnd
w = WinClicker.new
w.makeWindowActive(hwnd)
w.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, Yes)
end
===
I get the following error:
1) Error:

NoMethodError: undefined method `dialog' for #Watir::IE:0x27e62e0
So while the code I posted in wikipedia may not be the prettiest -- it DOES
work -- and works reliably.

Re: [Wtr-general] Formatting Excel Column Width
Thank you. So I did access the link, download the extended MS help, and
accessed VBAXL10.CHM. I found a method called AutoFit.
===
#Format workbook columns
worksheet.range(b1:b4).Interior['ColorIndex'] = 36 #pale yellow
worksheet.range(b:b).AutoFit
===
However, because I was originally working with a CSV file, the above approach
doesn't quite work. It requires changing the code to something like:
===
#open spreadsheet
excel = WIN32OLE::new('excel.Application')
workbook = excel.Workbooks.Add
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1)
worksheet.SaveAs(spreadsheet.xls)
#Log results
worksheet.range(a1).value = executionEnvironment
worksheet.range(b1).value = Acceptable Screen1 time
worksheet.range(c1).value = acceptableScreen1.to_s
worksheet.range(d1).value = Actual Screen1 time
worksheet.range(e1).value = actualScreen1.to_s
worksheet.range(f1).value = resultValue
#
# Etcetera...assume the above happens 4 times, for 4 screens...
#
#Format workbook columns
worksheet.range(b1:b4).Interior['ColorIndex'] = 36 #pale yellow
worksheet.columns(b:b).AutoFit
#close the workbook
workbook.save
workbook.close
excel.Quit
===
Now this code will work just fine, AS LONG AS the file spreadsheet.xls
actually exists as an Excel file. This is why the Add is done for workbooks,
and then the SaveAs is done for the worksheet -- up front This way, the
file is created and saved as an Excel spreadsheet. Thus when later the
formatting is needed -- it works!

[Wtr-general] Formatting Excel Column Width
Technically this is a Ruby question but...since it is useful to record test run
timing information in Excel format, I think it is relevant to this forum. The
question is...suppose I write out some test output that looks like this:
===
Test, Acceptable log in time, 5, Actual time to log in, 1.683, OK
Test, Acceptable admin screen access time,5, Actual admin screen
access time,3.235, OK
Test, Acceptable user search time,5, Actual user search time,
2.804, OK
Test, Acceptable user info time, 5, Actual user info time, 1.923,
OK
===
So, it went through 4 screens. The environment is Test. 2nd column describes
acceptable time, 3rd column specifies that time, 4th column states actual time,
5th column is actual time, last column will be OK or NotOK, depending on
whether actual exceeds expected.
So far, so good. However, I am simply opening and writing out to a CSV file,
like so:
===
timeSpreadsheet.puts executionEnvironment + ,Acceptable user info time, +
acceptableTimeDisplayUser.to_s + ,Actual user info time, + (endTime -
beginTime).to_s + , + resultValue
===
No problems, however, the column widths in the resulting file, when opened by
Excel, are the standard 8 character columns. Obviously then, when the file is
opened, much of the descriptive text in columns 2 and 4 is hidden. So the
question is twofold:
(a) Is it possible, when writing to a CSV file, to do so in such a way that
when Excel opens the file, it will automatically widen the columns to fit? (I
think no.)
(b) What then, would be the Excel command, to adjust the column to fit? I can
do this:
===
excel = WIN32OLE::new('excel.Application')
workbook = excel.Workbooks.Open(../PC/ + Time.now.strftime(%d-%b-%y) +
.csv)
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1) #get hold of the first worksheet
#Format workbook columns
worksheet.range(b1:b4).Interior['ColorIndex'] = 36 #pale yellow
# How do I widen the 2nd column?
workbook.save
workbook.close
excel.Quit
===
So I can open the csv file as an Excel file and make a format change (turn the
2nd column yellow.) But -- I cannot find anywhere, on any forum, or the Ruby
online documentation, how to autofit the column to the text.
And -- no, I do not want to add someones alphaware library if possible, I want
to use straight old WIN32OLE. Is this possible?

Re: [Wtr-general] Disclaimer
I would be open to helping with the documentation. I think part of the effort is not just upgraded documentation, but the organizational perspective fof the documentation. For a single example -- is the base or root for documentation the http://wtr.rubyforge.org/ site? As it happens, the user guide there recommends accessing the development version by doing Download the Watir tarball from the WTR RubyForge site (click download tarball) -- but that link is dead. Plus, I think we want people to follow the gem installation? Or -- is the root the http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home site? So there are two sources for documentation but they are not identical. The user guide talks about IRB, but FreeRIDE is distributed with the standard Ruby one click installer, and people are more likely to be developing WATIR scripts in that than in IRB I think -- the user guide could stand to be upgraded, and not just for WATIR specific material. The FAQ could stand to be strongly expanded, based on the number of questions asked and resolved in the openqa forum or mailing list archives. And so on.

Re: [Wtr-general] Driving Javascript
Well...
(1) There should be documentation that specifically
states how to drive a Javascript -- as in, use
.link(:url, path)
(2) It should point out that it is driven by
click, not fire_event('onclick').
(3) Actually, there should be documentation that
identifies all of the available API's, and provide
examples for each. Right now the Watir User Guide is
too simple. It doesn't handle real world situations.
I believe most of this is documented in the API
Documentation.
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/index.html
OK, not to be negative, but surely you're joking.
Have you looked at that page? It is completely bassackwards when you are trying
to find something. It is organized top down, hierarchically, and has no search
feature.
So...if I want to go to the rightmost list and look at each and every
method...some are well documented others not so documented.
But let's take this example:
ie.frame(top_frame).link(:url,javascript:Events.invokeEvent(\'2_11_act\')).click
Now, the rdoc for frame says:
===
Typical usage:
ie.frame(:index, 1)
ie.frame(:name , 'main_frame')
ie.frame('main_frame')
===
Good enough. But does it say I can do ie.frame(top_frame).link? No. Is link
listed as a Method? Why yes it is...if I knew that method was what was required
here, that would be useful -- but since in the code, the Javascript is not
associated with an HREF, it is not obvious that I need a link -- or even that
there is a method called link. So I have to scroll through all methods hunting
and checking. And even then -- I have to take a big guess because the typical
usage says:
===
Typical Usage
ie.link(:url, /login/) # access the first link whose url matches
login. We can use a string in place of the regular expression
# but the complete path must be used,
ie.link(:url, 'http://myserver.com/my_path/login.asp')
ie.link(:index,2) # access the second link on the page
ie.link(:title , Picture) # access a link using the tool tip
ie.link(:text, 'Click Me') # access the link that has Click Me as
its text
ie.link(:afterText, 'Click-') # access the link that immediately
follows the text Click-
===
See? Nothing about Javascript in there. Which there should be -- since this is
a pretty common Javascript situation I think. So even if there WAS a search
feature -- it wouldn't have hit on this. So as I result I basically wade
through the forum, trying this and that.
Look, I am not complaining about the work that has been done -- a number of
people have done an excellent job with Watir. What I am saying is that if
Testers are to use Watir, some much better documentation needs to be developed.
As it happens, I am working up documentation as I go through this and learn
Watir, and eventually that may be of use, but...it doesn't help me now! ;-)

Re: [Wtr-general] Driving Javascript
When I execute:
ie.goto(javascript:Events.invokeEvent('2_11_act'))
in FreeRIDE the script gets to that point and hangs.
When I CTRL-C it (in the terminal window) the error is:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1081/./watir.rb:1752:in `sleep':

`wait'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1081/./watir.rb:1614:in
`goto'
Therefore, to see if there is a change in indication, I execute this in a
command window as:
ruby PC2.rb
The result is identical. Script hangs until I do CTRL-C in the command window.
To validate it was hanging on the attempted invokation, I made a very simple
script that just attached to the window and attempted the invokation with some
print statements.
Results are:
Attempting to attach
Completed attach
Attempt javascript invokement
[CTRL-C here after waiting a minute]
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1081/./watir.rb:1752:in `sleep'
Press ENTER to close the window...
Here's the script:
require 'watir'
# Open the IE browser
p Attempting to attach
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:url,
'https://somewhere.com/policycenter_ch4/pc/PolicyCenter.do')
p Completed attach
#ie.cell(:id, '2_11_act').fire_event('onclick')
p Attempt javascript invokement
ie.goto(javascript:Events.invokeEvent('2_11_act'))
p Attempt completed
#ie.close

So...any other ideas?

Bit more info.
1st, the javascript in question exists within a nested table structure (this is
table #5) within a frame. I can actually make the text that is displayed in the
table cell flash (with this):
ie.frame(top_frame).table(:index, 5)[2][2].flash
And I can actually make it highlight yellow when it is clicked with this:
ie.frame(top_frame).table(:index, 5)[2][2].fire_event('onclick')
however not with this:
ie.frame(top_frame).table(:index, 5)[2][2].click
BUT! Neither the fire_event('onclick') nor the simple click actually CLICK on
the darn cell to activate the javascript within! Grrr!
Anyone have any suggestions?

[Wtr-general] Driving Javascript
I have a piece of Javascript that I need to invoke via Watir. Here is the
Javascript code:
td class=off nowrap
scriptmenuStart(TAB_MENU_OFF,'AuC/uCOUNT','javascript:Events.invokeEvent(\'2_11_act\')','ACCOUNT','AccountTab');

/script
Now if this was a Javascript link I know I could do:
ie.link(:url,javascript:Events.invokeEvent(\'2_11_act\')).fire_event('onclick')
but it isn't, so this won't work.
Obviously what I need to do is to invoke an Event labelled 2_11_act -- but
I don't have any idea how to do this.
I also tried:
table = ie.table(:index, 5)
tab_cell = table.cell(:text, '2_11_act')
tab_cell.click
since the above script existed within a cell within a table nested 5 levels
deep but -- that didn't work either. It couldn't find it. Error was:

and 5

===
The key things.
1st, I used the click no wait feature: ie.button(:name, btnG).click_no_wait
2nd, I made use of the new enabled_popup functionality to get hwnd.
3rd, I used WinClicker to access and kill the security popup
4th and finally, I had to insert that sleep statement or...it would fail with
this error on the assert call: nil is not true. Why this should occur I
don't know and I find troubling...perhaps someone can explain why this works.

Re: [Wtr-general] Handling (Browser Security Driven?) Modal Dialog
Sun, If the window only has the title Internet Explorer then it's not likely that it's a modal dialog. This sounds more like an IE warning dialog, which is quite different. I cannot duplicate that warning box on my copy of IE, probably because I previously unchecked the box in the warning so I wouldn't see it again. Here are some ways you should be able to proceed: First, run the same series of events manually in IE. When you get the popup after clicking the Google Search button see if there is a checkbox you can uncheck so that warning will no longer pop up. Then you won't have to handle it at all. Yes...the problem I have is that I have a corporate browser. I have in fact checked this so that it should not reappear but it does anyway. Corporate IT doesn't let us change the security levels for the browser so...that is probably why the popups are forced. Second, here is how I've handled that type of popup before: # Change the click to click_no_wait so that any popup won't block Watir ie.button(:name, btnG).click_no_wait hwnd = ie.enabled_popup( 10 ) # wait up to 10 seconds for a popup to appear if( hwnd ) # there is a popup of some kind. if( ie2 = ie.modal_dialog(:hwnd, hwnd) ) # if it's a modal dialog ie2... # do normal Watir stuff on the modal dialog else wc = WinClicker.new wc.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, OK) # close non-modal popup with Handle=hwnd end end David Schmidt OK, thank you for the suggestion. I have implemented it. Problem now is, I get this message: undefined method `enabled_popup' for #Watir::IE:0x2c61aa4 Presumably I am missing a library somewhere? I should be requiring something that I am not? But as I mentioned in the base note, I have installed the current Ruby (1.8.4-20 stable), and the development gem for Watir (watir-1.5.1.1065.gem) so...here is the complete script text (which I am running in freeride): === # # demo test for the WATIR controller # # Simple Google test written by Jonathan Kohl 10/10/04 # Purpose: to demonstrate the following WATIR functionality: # * entering text into a text field # * clicking a button # * checking to see if a page contains text. # Test will search Google for the pickaxe Ruby book # #- require 'watir' # the watir controller # Main application code follows # # set a variable test_site = 'http://www.google.com' # open the IE browser ie = Watir::IE.new # print some comments puts ## Beginning of test: Google search puts puts Step 1: go to the test site: + test_site ie.goto(test_site) puts Action: entered + test_site + in the address bar. # Added flashes... ie.text_field(:name, q).flash ie.button(:value, Google Search).flash puts Step 2: enter 'pickaxe' in the search text field ie.text_field(:name, q).set(pickaxe) # q is the name of the search field puts Action: entered pickaxe in the search field #Ensure popup won't block Watir ie.button(:name, btnG).click_no_wait puts Step 3: click the 'Google Search' button ie.button(:name, btnG).click # btnG is the name of the Search button puts Action: clicked the Google Search button. #Handle the popup hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(5) if (hwnd) #yes there is a popup if (modal = ie.modal_dialog(:hwnd, hwnd)) #and if it is modal puts(modal.to_s) modal.button(:value, Yes).click else wc = WinClicker.new wc.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, OK) #close nonmodal popup via handle end end puts Expected Result: puts - a Google page with results should be shown. 'Programming Ruby' should be high on the list. puts Actual Result: Check that the 'Programming Ruby' link appears on the results page if ie.contains_text(Programming Ruby) puts Test Passed. Found the test string: 'Programming Ruby'. Actual Results match Expected Results. else puts Test Failed! Could not find: 'Programming Ruby' end puts puts Exit # -end of simple Google search test === Note that if I put the popup handler in front of Step 3 the results are identical, it is just that it hangs before step 3 instead of after it. Question -- where would the enabled_popup method be located? Isn't this in the watir development gem? - Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=4012messageID=11241#11241 ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Handling (Browser Security Driven?) Modal Dialog
One more thing...just so you know, when I puts $LOAD_PATH here is the library info: === c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1065/./watir/win32ole c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1065/bin c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1065/. c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32 === So as can be seen I do have the Watir 1.5 material in my path. So perhaps there is an additional require that is needed beyond require 'Watir' ? - Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=4012messageID=11243#11243 ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Handling (Browser Security Driven?) Modal Dialog
Also, if I recode it like this:
===
require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
class TC_article_example Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_search
# open the IE browser
ie = Watir::IE.new
# steer to google
ie.goto('http://www.google.com/')
# load the search field
ie.text_field(:name, q).set(pickaxe)
#Ensure popup won't block Watir
ie.button(:name, btnG).click_no_wait
#Handle the popup
hwnd = ie.enabled_popup(5)
if (hwnd) #yes there is a popup
if (modal = ie.modal_dialog(:hwnd, hwnd)) #and if it is modal
puts(modal.to_s)
modal.button(:value, Yes).click
else
wc = WinClicker.new
wc.clickWindowsButton_hwnd(hwnd, OK) #close nonmodal popup via handle
end
end
# click search button
ie.button(:name, btnG).click
# Validate response
assert(ie.pageContainsText(Programming Ruby))
end
end
===
I still get this:
1) Error:
test_search(TC_article_example):
NoMethodError: undefined method `enabled_popup' for #Watir::IE:0x2764a60

[Wtr-general] Handling (Browser Security Driven?) Modal Dialog
I have a popup titled simply Internet Explorer containing the text: When you send information to the Internet, it might be possible for others to see that information. Do you want to continue? There are two buttons, labeled Yes and No. I am unable to attach to this like so: ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, ‘Internet Explorer’), or by doing: ie2 = Watir::IE.attach(:title, /Internet/). This made me suspect this was a modal dialog (besides the fact that it acts like one functionally.) This pops up, by the way, when I execute the script googleSearch.rb (you know, the pickaxe script referenced in the Watir user guide.) It happens after the script sends the click to the Google Search button. So...I uninstalled Watir 1.4.1, downloaded the current 1.5 gem (currently watir-1.5.1.1065.gem) and installed the gem. So far so good. This was to gain modal dialog processing functionality. I then inserted this statement: ie.modal_dialog.button(:text, Yes).click immediately after these 3 lines in the script: =puts Step 3: click the 'Google Search' button =ie.button(:name, btnG).click # btnG is the name of the Search button =puts Action: clicked the Google Search button. No good. After step 2 completes (pickaxe loaded into google search field) I see: Step 3: click the 'Google Search' button Action: clicked the Google Search button. Modal Dialog not found. Timeout = 2.0 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1065/./watir.rb:2606:in `locate' Press ENTER to close the window... Now, my BELIEF is that the reason this occurs is that this dialog popup is not launched by Javascript from the current IE session -- but rather is triggered by IE security. Which since I am testing a corporate browser I cannot alter. So -- has anyone dealt with this before? I haven't seen any postings in this forum or elsewhere on the web about dealing with Browser security generated dialogs Has anyone dealt with this standard security modal dialog before? If so, what should I add to that simple googleSearch.rb to get past it automatically? - Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=4012messageID=11008#11008 ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
