Re: [Wtr-general] How to run all the steps defined in a method even if any of step fails?

[Charley Baker]

 There's no flag in watir to swallow all exceptions, that's rather
dangerous behavior and not recommended. You could wrap methods with
begin/rescue blocks and print out the exceptions as they occur - follow
Zeljko's example above and the more specific the exceptions you catch the
better.

 I'd agree, it's not slick or pretty but it's the nature of the way test
unit is designed and my understanding of how these specific tests are coded
and the requirements. I reserve the right to be wrong on both accounts. :)
The way test unit and assertions work is more on a unit => single assertion
aspect vs grouping multiple assertion points(test cases) into one larger
grouping.

 For better or worse, I've ignored the issue to some extent as the
assertion points fold up into a larger test case, which I'm assuming passes
if all individual test points pass, and dump out of the test case with a
message on any individual assertion instead of bending it all around to a
functional pass through with multiple assertions that are all independent. I
added the ability track assertions in the test unit reports we're running
just to identify the running assertions. Otherwise, I'm basically using test
unit as is with it's limitations for true functional test scenarios.

Of course. Read "Exceptions, Catch, and Throw" chapter from "Programming
Ruby" (http://phrogz.net/ProgrammingRuby/tut_exceptions.html).

This is sample code.

begin
 raise
rescue
 puts $!
end

[watir-user watir-user]

Hi Charley and Paul,

If I use rescue true in the method, i wont be getting any error all the methods 
will execute. But, the method which has error does not shows what actual error 
it has.

Here is the code which i executed 

def test_yahooSite
test_site = 'http://www.mail.yahoo.com'
$ie = IE.new
$ie.goto(test_site)
assertTextfield
assertCheckbox #If this method fails it wont execute the next method
assertButton
end

def assertTextfield
assert($ie.text_field(:id,"username").exists?, "Username text field does not 
exist")
assert($ie.text_field(:id,"passwd").exists?, "Password text field does not 
exist")
end

def assertButton
  assert($ie.button(:value,"Sign In").exists?, "Sign In button does not 
exist")
end

def assertCheckbox
 assert_equal($ie.checkbox(:id, "persistent",2).isSet?, "Keep me signed in, 
 check box is not checked")
 rescue
 true
end

Is there any other way which executes all the steps defined in the method even 
any of the step fails and also should show the message why it has failed?

If you have other commands that are likely to fail (e.g. a navigate link
command when the link isn't there), then you could wrap the rescue for the
whole method like this:

def assertButton
   assert($ie.button(:caption, "Click Me").enabled?)
rescue
   true
end

Where the "rescue" and "true" are the last lines before the "end" of the
method.  This will exit the method nicely and allow you to go to the next
method.  There are a lot of neat things you can do with a container like
this at the end of a test method.  If you want more information about
recovering from methods like this you should check out the "Programming
Ruby" book, second edition.

Hope this helps.  Paul C.

Hi Charley,

Can you tell me how to overcome the same in Watir 1.4.1. Its not only related

Any suggestions  most welcome

 Hi watir user, 

  You can use the assertions methods that Bret  wrote in watir/assertions.rb 
that's included Watir 1.5.1.1100 and later (if  you're using 1.4.1 you can pull 
that file from subversion and use it).  

To use the verify methods: 
require 'watir/assertions'

Change  your asserts to verify and assert_equal to verify_equal: 

def  assertButton
  verify($ie.button(:caption, "Click Me").enabled?)  
end

etc. 

def check_controls
   assertButton
 .
end

Verify methods will be counted as  assertions in the test unit run without 
exiting out of the calling method.
