Not sure if you guys realize it but there is an xml library available in Ruby called REXML and from there you can use it in your WATIR scripts. I don't know if you saw my last post but I had written a small testing framework on top of Ruby and WATIR that utilizes REXML so that I can store my controls in an XML file and reference them from there. If you get a chance you might want to take a look to see how you can use the REXML library. Sergio

Hi,
I think XPath extenstion to WATiR would be helpful in this case. Please
download the tar ball from HEAD and read the supporting document in the 'docs'
directory.

I am testing an application whose UI controls are often difficult to

multiple controls, so I need to use an index value as one of those 3 or
4
attributes. With WATIR, can I specify a control by using a variable
number
and kind of parameters?
I have a watered-down-not-thread-safe-has-synchronization-problems Perl
tool
(that I would like to toss) emulated from WATIR where I can say:
$browser->link( innerText => 'Modify', nameProp =>
qr(modifyProductContract), outerHTML => qr((Pro|Select|Value) Service),
index => 4 )->click;
I see that I can use regex's with WATIR (very good), so I just need to
make
sure that I can pass in any number of control attributes and values
before I
embrace WATIR.
If I can, how do I do it? A hash? Something else?
Thanks.
