patch to watir for examining all attributes of an element



module Watir

  class Element

    # for watir element returns array of arrays where each element is a [name, value] as long as value is other than null or blank

    def get_attributes

      attrs = []

      self.document.attributes.each do |atr|

        k= []

        next if (atr.value == 'null') || (atr.value == '')

        k << atr.name << atr.value

        attrs << k

      end

      return attrs.sort

    end

  end

end

Watir Logging

// setup logging infrastructure for Watir tests using ruby Logger class



#Logging infrastructure

require 'logger'

# hack ruby logger to format and output only the minimum needed for testing scripts

# Logger is configured to write 

class Logger

  # hack format of logger

  class Formatter

    #original: Format = "%s, [%s#%d] %5s -- %s: %s\n"

    #Change the name of constant to avoid redefining the super which raises exception and bugs us.

    Formato = "[%s] [%5s] : %s\n" 

    

    #keep the original signature but alter implementation to change formatting

    def call(severity, time, progname, msg)

      #add logging to stdout

      puts output_message = msg2str(msg)

      STDOUT.flush

      #original: Format % [severity[0..0], format_datetime(time), $$, severity, progname, msg2str(msg)]

      Formato % [format_datetime(time),severity, output_message]

Empty a Gmail label with FireWatir

helder (Helder Ribeiro) — Mon, 07 May 2007 21:54:04 GMT

When you have a huge label with thousands of messages, Gmail can't handle deleting all of them at a time (it says it can, but for me it's never worked). This solves the problem.

I wrote it more as a practice to get familiar with FireWatir, so it's not very pretty or anything and it's a bit slow. If you have doubts on how to use or suggestions on how to improve it please feel free to contact me.

By the way, it assumes Gmail is in German. Replace that string with the one that comes up for your language.



def empty_label(label)

  # you need a Firefox instance already running with JSSh installed and listening

  ff = Firefox.new

  # Goes to Gmail in HTML

  ff.goto('http://mail.google.com/mail/h/x4odcwnm5f5v/?s=l&l=#{label}')

  a = []

  # doing 'c.set' didn't work for me here so I had to do this hack of getting the value

  # and then acquiring the element thorugh ff.checkbox(:value,value)

  ff.checkboxes.each {|c| a << c.value}



  while a.length > 0 do

    c = []

    a.each {|v| c << ff.checkbox(:value,v)}

    # checks all checkboxes

    c.each {|e| e.set}

    # clicks the drop-down entry for deleting

    ff.select_list(:name,'tact').select('In den Papierkorb verschieben')

    ff.button(:name,'nvp_tbu_go').click

    a = []

    ff.checkboxes.each {|c| a << c.value}

  end

end
