Replace all hard-coded instance of the the URLs with a variable or a constant. Store that different URLs in a hash in a file. Something like this: URLS = {  dev: 'https://url1.com',  prod: 'https://url2.com'} Then, in whatever you're using to run the script, add an option to specify the

Re: [wtr-general] not able to click on button that is visible.

Just a guess but the page HTML may have multiple buttons that match value: "OK" (and you're getting the very first one, which isn't the one that you actually want.) It's been a while but think you could add visible: true if that's the case, then it should find the one that you're looking for.

Re: [wtr-general] Re: List of items that refresh every second

I may be misunderstanding, but you probably want something that'll loop until a condition is met, then poll all of the (divs, spans whatever) checking for one with text matching job name + status. Watir has some wait functionality and there are gems that do this also. rspec-wait's pretty good

i'm not sure if it slows things down a lot. think you need to do some level of checking anyway. one way of implementing this sort of thing would be to try to write or whatever and only do polling when the op is going to fail. i suspect it's probably done like that. you'd be better off using

May be semantics, but you mentioned clicking on a link to call a button, which could be a problem if the element truly is a link. If it's a link then you should try to access it that way: book_rows.a(value: /view/i).click. There might be more than one table with that id: @browser.tables(id:

It's most likely exactly what Titus suggested. One other thing you can do, in addition to providing the HTML he asked for, is to see how many elements there are that match. Stuff like this: b.checkboxes(:id => 'sv').length # More than 1? If so, the one you want may be one of the others

Not sure if this fits your problem, but one approach would be to look at the output of b.div(:id, 'contents').text. It may be possible to use regexp matching to get the text leading up to the div and then the text after, without having to worry specifically about what element outside the table
