I want to get Watir to load a page, press a "download file" button and
save the file.
This first part works fine - and the "File Download" dialog comes up
--------- PART 1 ----------------
require 'Watir'
include Watir
ie = IE.new
ie.goto("http://example.com";)
ie.button(:value,"Login").click
ie.link(:id, "csv_link").click
-------------------------------------
If I run PART 1 from the command line, it never exits, it just keeps
running while the File Download dialog is up.
However, if I include the autoit code (below) in the same file, it
never clicks the file dialog.
If I kill it the running PART I script, and then run the following:
% ruby autoitFS.rb myfile
where the autoitFS.rb is code like this:
----- autoitFS.rb ---------------------
require 'win32ole'
autoit = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")
file = ARGV[0]
autoit.WinWait("File Download")
autoit.ControlClick("File Download", "Would you like to open the file
or save it to your computer?", "&Save")
autoit.WinWait("Save As", "Save &in", 3)
autoit.ControlSetText("Save As", "Save &in", "Edit1", "E\:\\Docs\\" +
file + ".csv")
autoit.ControlClick("Save As", "Save &in", "&Save")
--------------------------
It works...
To summarize: it works if I run the scripts separately - and I Ctrl-C
the first script when the dialog comes up. It doesn't work if I
combine the scripts into one ruby file.
How can I get this to work from within one .rb file so I can loop over
a bunch of URLs?
Also, how can I get the first script to exit by itself?
I tried doing this from at the bottom of PART 1
system( "ruby autoitFS.rb myfile" )
but nothing happenend.
Thanks,
johnk
