I am testing an application that uses filepicker for file uploads:
https://www.inkfilepicker.com
I am using watir.
I have tried:
def upload_photos
$b.link(:text, "Upload Photos").click
$b.button(:text, "Choose File").click
end
but the code fails with:
`assert_exists': unable to locate element, using {:text=>"Choose File", :tag_name=>"button"} (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException
Is it possible to automate filepicker uploads with watir? How?
The code
$b.button(:text, "Choose File").click
Has two problems (assuming your filepicker is the same as that on the inkfilepicker demo page):
The Choose File button is in an iframe. When it comes to frames, you need to explicitly tell Watir about them.
The Choose File is not a regular button; it is the button for a file field (). These are accessed from Watir using the file_field method. There is no support for just clicking the button. Instead, there is a set method that will click the button, select a file to upload and close the window.
Assuming the filepicker in your application is the same as the one on the inkfilepicker demo page, you can do the following:
require 'watir-webdriver'
browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox
# File to upload
file = 'C:\Users\user\Desktop\stuff.jpeg'
# Go to the demo page, which has a file uploader
browser.goto 'https://www.inkfilepicker.com/demos/'
# Click the button that opens the file uploader
browser.button(:class => 'zip-open-button').click
# Wait for the dialog to be displayed
browser.div(:id => 'filepicker_dialog_container').wait_until_present
# Set the file
browser.frame(:id => 'filepicker_dialog').file_field(:id => 'fileUploadInput').set(file)

Using Ruby and Watir, can I save a web page the same way as doing a right mouse-click and " save page with name "?
I need to save the current web page from a script.
Yes, you can do it with watir. Just open a page and save the browser.html to any destination you want:
b = Watir::Browser.new :phantomjs # I am using phantomjs for scripted browsing
b.goto 'http://google.com'
File.open('/tmp/google', 'w') {|f| f.write b.html }
I don't know about watir, but I know the way to do it using Selenium Web Driver is using the page source method.
Check out the docs for that here:
http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/rb/Selenium/WebDriver/Driver.html#page_source-instance_method
using this, you should get the whole source.
You can now save the source, by just creating a new file. I haven't tried this but you can check it out.
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:firefox)
driver.get(URL_of_page_to_save)
file = File.new(filename, "w")
file.puts(driver.page_source)
file.close
Not sure if this saves all elements of the page.
Hope this helped a bit!
I want to access the data in a popup window containing a login form, this window opens when you click on a logo, this line contains the code to execute the javascript: <div id="loadDIV" class="containerLogo" onclick="ventanaSecundaria('/Security-war/autentia/Login.jsp?sion=c5ac379249711c18cf6e030c8400',800,600); "></div>
with this line run the script:
browser = browser.div(:class => "containerLogo").fire_event :click
watir open in a new popup form.
The problem is that I can not access the data from the popup window and need to fill the form containing, try the following:puts browser.text.include? 'Login'
and get false, then I thought that maybe I could not access the other popup and look for something to not open another window but only refresh the I'm using and so we can access its contents, looking I found that I can do this:
browser.goto("javascript:document.getElementByClass()'containerLogo').click()")
but I try to console returns 'true' and the browser does not update.
Update
You can switch windows simply with this:
browser.window(:index => 1).use
and to be sure we change verify the url window with this:
browser.window.url
When a new browser window is opened, you can then ‘use’ the new
window. [Browser Popups | Watir Webdriver]
browser.window(:title => "annoying popup").use do
browser.button(:id => "close").click
end
Following is the code i am using
def self.yes_publish
sleep 5
driver.find_element(:id, 'dialogConfirmChanges-publishButton').displayed?
WAIT.until { driver.find_element(:id, 'dialogConfirmChanges-publishButton') }.click
puts driver.find_element(:id, 'embed-left-center-part').displayed?
end
But i am unable to click on it. This id works fine in irb.
I get an error modal dialog present, as webdriver is unable to locate element it closes to window after a particular timeout.
This popup is to publish changes made on a page.
xpath = .//*[#id='dialogConfirmChanges-publishButton']
You have to use the switch_to method to deal with the pop-up. Look at the documentation of JavaScript dialogs :
You can use webdriver to handle Javascript alert(), prompt() and confirm() dialogs. The API for all three is the same.
Note: At this time alert handling is only available in Firefox and IE (or in those browsers through the remote server), and only alerts that are generated post onload can be captured.
require "selenium-webdriver"
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.navigate.to "http://mysite.com/page_with_alert.html"
driver.find_element(:name, 'element_with_alert_javascript').click
a = driver.switch_to.alert
if a.text == 'A value you are looking for'
a.dismiss
else
a.accept
end
EDIT
As per the comment box HTML given by you..I think below should work :
driver.find_element(:xpath,"//div[#class='ui-dialog-buttonset']/button[#id='dialogConfirmChanges-publishButton']").click
I have a script that visits fcc.gov, then clicks a link which triggers a download:
require "mechanize"
docket_number = "12-268" #"96-128"
url = "http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment_search/execute?proceeding=#{docket_number}"
agent = Mechanize.new
agent.pluggable_parser.default = Mechanize::DirectorySaver.save_to 'downloads'
agent.get(url) do |page|
link = page.link_with(:text => "Export to Excel file")
xls = agent.click(link)
end
This works fine when docket_number is "12-268". But when you change it to "96-128", Mechanize downloads the html of the page instead of the desired spreadsheet.
The urls for both pages are:
http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment_search/execute?proceeding=12-268 (works)
http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment_search/execute?proceeding=96-128 (this is where I need help)
As you can see, if you visit each page in a browser (I'm using Chrome) and click "Export to Excel file", a spreadsheet file is downloaded and there is not problem. "96-128" has many more rows, so when you click on the Export link, it takes you to a new page that refreshes every 10 seconds or so until the file begins downloading. How can I get around this and why is there this inconsistency?
Clicking Export on 96-128 takes you to a page that refreshes using this kind of a tag (I've never heard of it before):
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=/ecfs/comment_search/export?exportType=xls"/>
By default, Mechanize will not follow these refreshes. To get around that, change a setting on agent:
agent.follow_meta_refresh = true
Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2166480/94154
The proceeding 12-268 has 48 entries, 96-128 has 4046.
When I click at 'Export to Excel File' on the latter, there sometimes is a page saying:
Finished processing 933 of 4046 records.
Click if this page does not reload automatically.
I guess mechanize is seeing this, too.
I am using Watir with Chromedriver to automate form submission on some website. I have to login and submit multiple forms. The problem is, when I click the submit button the page the page automatically closes, so when I goto('next_url') I get this error:
/Users/jackz/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327/gems/selenium-webdriver-2.27.2/lib/selenium/webdriver/remote/response.rb:52:in `assert_ok': 'auto_id' does not refer to an open tab (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)
The Watir instance is still there, but the window is closed. I could create a new instance every time, but then I would have to login again every time and this would take longer.
So how can I either:
Open a new window in the same Watir instance
or
Suppress the window from closing after I submit
require 'watir-webdriver'
#b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
#b.goto(URL)
#b.buttons.first.click
#this is when the window closes
#b.goto(NEW_URL)
#then I get an error
Thanks
I figured out an answer to my own question. I can open a new window in Watir using javascript:
b = Watir::Browser.new
b.execute_script("window.open()")
b.windows.last.use
This opens a window where I can fill out the form, then when the window automatically closes I still have the original window to work with. Probably not the best solution, but it works for now.
Add this to your existing code if your using chrome. else, modify accordingly as per your browser.
This will keep the window open, and the current watir session active.
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome("chromeOptions" => {'detach' => false})
browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
What Mrityunjeyan suggested above was in a right direction, but you need to change a few things to make it work.
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome("chromeOptions" => {'detach' => true })
b = Watir::Browser.new('chrome', desired_capabilities: caps)
