Hi there.
I just wanted to share something I found when looking at IE8
OS: WinXP
Ruby: 1.8.6
Watir 1.6.2
Browser: IE8 RC1
Problem:
When trying to set a file_field, the browser would open the dialog, but would
not actually choose the file.
It would appear that the browser would "hang" and none of the tests would
progress.
One Solution:
I patched the following line (438) in input_elements.rb on my system.
Changed
system("rubyw -e \"require 'win32ole';
@autoit=WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control'); waitresu...@autoit.winwait 'Choose
file', '', 15; sleep 1; if waitresult == 1\" -e \"@autoit.ControlSetText
'Choose file', '', 'Edit1', '#{setPath}'; @autoit.ControlSend 'Choose file',
'', 'Button2', '{ENTER}';\" -e \"end\"")
to
system("rubyw -e \"require 'win32ole';
@autoit=WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control'); waitresu...@autoit.winwait 'Choose',
'', 15; sleep 1; if waitresult == 1\" -e \"@autoit.ControlSetText 'Choose', '',
'Edit1', '#{setPath}'; @autoit.ControlSend 'Choose', '', 'Button2',
'{ENTER}';\" -e \"end\"")
What happened:
It looks like with IE8, they changed the title of the dialog that handles the
file upload from "Choose file" to "Choose File to Upload".
By changing the title to match on to be just "Choose", the function should
still work for IE7 (and IE6?) as well.
