Watir / MiniTest - Undefined local variable or method 'browser' - ruby

I have 66 watir scripts that I have been creating over the past week to automate testing on the clients website.
However I have recently found out about a test framework called MiniTest which I am trying to implement now.
The reason I have set the URL as a variable is because there are 5 different sites that these tests need to run on so when they want me to run my pack on a different website I just need to update that 1 variable and not in each individual test.
require 'minitest/autorun'
require "watir-webdriver"
class MPTEST < MiniTest::Unit::TestCase
def setup()
url = "http://thewebsite.com/"
$browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
$browser.goto url
end
def test_myTestCase
$browser.link(:text, "Submit your CV").click
sleep(2)
$browser.button(:value,"Submit").click
assert($browser.label.text.includes?("This field is required"))
def teardown
$browser.close
end
end
When running that I receive the following output:
NameError: undefined local variable or method 'browser' for #<MPTEST:0x4cc72f8>c:/directory stuff...
Any ideas?
EDIT I have browser working however now there is an issue with my assert:
New code:
require 'minitest/autorun'
require "watir-webdriver"
class MPTEST < MiniTest::Unit::TestCase
def setup()
url ="http://thewebsite.com"
$browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
$browser.goto url
end
def test_myTestCase
$browser.link(:text, "Submit your CV").click
sleep(2)
$browser.button(:value,"Submit").click
assert($browser.label.text.includes?("This field is required"))
end
def teardown
$browser.close
end
end
And the error is:
NoMEthodError: undefined method 'includes?' for "":String

it seems to me you can you use #browser instead of $browser (but the problem might be not in this code)

The exception
NoMEthodError: undefined method 'includes?' for "":String
Is due to strings, in this case the value returned by $browser.label.text do not have an includes? method.
The method you actually want is include? (no plural):
assert($browser.label.text.include?("This field is required"))

Trying to learn to use PageObjects with Ruby - getting error "uninitialized constant Site (NameError)"

I have some experience of Selenium in Python and Cucumber/Watir/RSpec in Ruby, and can write scripts that execute successfully, but they aren't using classes, so I am trying to learn more about classes and splitting the scripts up in to pageobejcts.
I found this example to learn from: http://watir.com/guides/page-objects/ so copied the script and made some minor edits as you'll see below.
I'm using SublimeText 3.x with Ruby 2.4.x on Win10, so you know what tools I'm using.
I put the whole script in to a single .rb file (the only differences are that I replaced the URL and the elements to enter the username and password) and tried to execute it and get the following error:
C:/selenium/ruby/lotw/lotwlogin.rb:3:in `<main>': uninitialized constant Site (NameError).
I added the top line (required 'watir') line and it made no difference to the error encountered.
So I have in lotwlogin.rb essentilly the structure and syntax of the original script with custom elements. However, the core structure is reporting an error and I don't know what to do about it.
Here is my script:
require 'watir'
site = Site.new(Watir::Browser.new :chrome) # was :firefox but that no longer works since FF63
login_page = site.login_page.open
user_page = login_page.login_as "testuser", "testpassword" # dummy user and password for now
user_page.should be_logged_in
class BrowserContainer
def initialize(browser)
#browser = browser
end
end
class Site < BrowserContainer
def login_page
#login_page = LoginPage.new(#browser)
end
def user_page
#user_page = UserPage.new(#browser)
end
def close
#browser.close
end
end
class LoginPage < BrowserContainer
URL = "https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw/login"
def open
#browser.goto URL
##browser.window.maximize
self # no idea what this is for
end
def login_as(user, pass)
user_field.set user
password_field.set pass
login_button.click
next_page = UserPage.new(#browser)
Watir::Wait.until { next_page.loaded? }
next_page
end
private
def user_field
#browser.text_field(:name => "login")
end
def password_field
#browser.text_field(:name => "password")
end
def login_button
#browser.button(:value => "Log On")
end
end # LoginPage
class UserPage < BrowserContainer
def logged_in?
logged_in_element.exists?
end
def loaded?
#browser.h3 == "Welcome to Your Logbook of the World User Account Home Page"
end
private
def logged_in_element
#browser.div(:text => "Log off")
end
end # UserPage
Any assistance how to not get the Site error would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
You define class Site only a few lines below. But at that point, it's not yet known.
Move this logic to after all class definitions:
site = Site.new(Watir::Browser.new :chrome) # was :firefox but that no longer works since FF63
login_page = site.login_page.open
user_page = login_page.login_as "testuser", "testpassword" # dummy user and password for now
user_page.should be_logged_in

What is does this error method mean: undefined method `method name' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

I am fairly new to automation testing and I am writing BDD automation test scenarios in Ruby using selenium-webdriver, when running my tests, they fail at the first step. (tumblr just as an example)
What does this error message mean and how do I fix it? Any help would be much appreciated!
In my feature file:
Feature: tumblr
#s1
Scenario: Logging in to Tumblr
Given I am on the Tumblr login page
When I enter my login details
Then I should be sent to the dashboard
In my login_page.rb:
def visit
#browser.goto "#{EnvConfig.base_url}/login"
await_on_page
end
In my login_step_defs.rb:
Given /^I am on the Odicci login page$/ do
#app.tumblr_login.visit
end
When /^I enter my login details$/ do
#app.tumblr_login.login
end
Then /^I should be sent to the dashboard$/ do
#app.tumblr_dashboard.go_to_dashboard
end
Initially when I was running 'cucumber features.feature' but the step definitions could not be located so the scenarios were finishing off as 'undefined' so running 'cucumber features.feature -r step_definitions works to run the tests but they fail because of this error message:
Scenario: Logging in to Tumblr # features.feature:4
Given I am on the Tumblr login page # step_definitions/login_step_defs.rb:2
undefined method `tumblr_login' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
./step_definitions/login_step_defs.rb:3:in `/^I am on the Tumblr login page$/'
features.feature:5:in `Given I am on the Tumblr login page'

Nomethoderror on watir webdriver ruby

i am new to Watir. When I run this file in terminal, ruby TestJoinChange.rb, I get NoMethodError
require 'rubygems'
require 'test/unit'
require 'watir-webdriver'
browser = Watir::Browser.new
class TestJoinChange < Test::TestCase
def test_join(logintype,usr,pwd)
# open browser to page
#browser.goto 'http://change.com'
end
end
How do I pass parameter values? Why my function is returning no method error?
"You have defined subroutine now you can pass values when you call that subroutine by making an object of the class."
your code:
require 'rubygems'
require 'test/unit'
require 'watir-webdriver'
browser = Watir::Browser.new
class TestJoinChange < Test::TestCase
def test_join(logintype,usr,pwd)
# open browser to page
#browser.goto 'http://change.com'
end
end
now just create an object for your class:
obj = TestJoinChange.new
# it will create object for your class and now call the subroutine and pass any value in that#
obj.test_join("logintype_value", "user", "password")
Now you can use the values in your class by storing all passed values in to variables.

Ruby Watir can't find the assert method outside of the running class?

I have a class that I want to use in many test cases:
require 'rubygems'
require 'test/unit'
require 'watir'
class Tests < Test::Unit::TestCase
def self.Run(browser)
# make sure Summary of Changes exists
assert( browser.table(:class, "summary_table_class").exists? )
# make sure Snapshot of Change Areas exists
assert( browser.image(:xpath, "//div[#id='report_chart_div']/img").exists? )
# make sure Integrated Changes table exists
assert( browser.table(:id, 'change_table_html').exists? )
end
end
However, when run in one of my test cases:
require 'rubygems'
require 'test/unit'
require 'watir'
require 'configuration'
require 'Tests'
class TwoSCMCrossBranch < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_two_scm_cross_branch
test_site = Constants.whatsInUrl
puts " Step 1: go to the test site: " + test_site
ie = Watir::IE.start(test_site)
Tests.Run(ie)
end
end
I get the error:
NoMethodError: undefined method `assert' for Tests:Class
C:/p4/dev/webToolKit/test/webapps/WhatsIn/ruby-tests/Tests.rb:8:in `Run'
What's missing? Thanks!
assert() is an instance method on TestCase so would only be available to instances of Tests. You are calling it inside a class method so Ruby is looking for a class method in Tests which doesn't exist.
A better way to do this is to make Tests a module and the Run method an instance method:
module Tests
def Run(browser)
...
end
end
Then include the Tests module in your test class:
class TwoSCMCrossBranch < Test::Unit::TestCase
include Tests
def test_two_scm_cross_branch
test_site = Constants.whatsInUrl
puts " Step 1: go to the test site: " + test_site
ie = Watir::IE.start(test_site)
Run(ie)
end
end
which will make the Run method available to the test and Run() will find the assert() method in the test class.
It might be worth a try to remove the asserts all together, and just use .exists?.
