DESCRIPTION:¶ ↑

We are putting Watir on Safari. The original Watir (Web Application Testing in Ruby) project supports only IE on Windows. This project aims at adding Watir support for Safari on the Mac.

Requirements¶ ↑

Mac OS X running Safari. Some features require you to turn on “Enable access for assistive devices” in System Preferences > Universal Access.

SYNOPSIS:¶ ↑

require 'rubygems'
require 'safariwatir'

browser = Watir::Safari.new
browser.goto("http://google.com")
browser.text_field(:name, "q").set("obtiva")
browser.button(:name, "btnI").click
puts "FAILURE" unless browser.contains_text("software")

INSTALL:¶ ↑

 [sudo] gem install safariwatir

or

 git clone git://github.com/redsquirrel/safariwatir.git
 cd safariwatir
 git submodule update --init
 rake install

RUNNING SAFARIWATIR AGAINST WATIRSPEC¶ ↑

git clone git://github.com/redsquirrel/safariwatir.git
cd safariwatir
git submodule update --init
spec spec

CONTRIBUTING:¶ ↑

WatirSpec is the emergent standard for the Watir API. We do not currently support all of the functionality described by WatirSpec. A good way to contribute would be to fix a few failing specs as defined by WatirSpec. See “Running SafairWatir Against WatirSpec” to get started.

safariwatir's Issues

Can't locate by name with nested array

Given the site http://www.pastie.org/

and the form field

 <textarea class="pastebox" cols="40" id="paste_body" name="paste[body]" rows="22" tabindex="20"></textarea>

this test fails:

 require 'watir'
 b = Watir::Safari.new
 b.goto "http://www.pastie.org"
 b.text_field(:name, "paste[body]").set "Foo"

You get

Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: Unable to locate TextField element with id of paste_name
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/safariwatir-0.3.5/lib/safariwatir/scripter.rb:521:in execute' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/safariwatir-0.3.5/lib/safariwatir/scripter.rb:174:infocus'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/safariwatir-0.3.5/lib/safariwatir.rb:382:in `set'
from (irb):7

However it works if you address it by id.

 b.text_field(:id, "paste_body").set "Foo"

Although you do see this:

  => :missing_value

and I don't know what that's supposed to mean :)

Started looking through the source code and I had no idea why this wouldn't work. This is still the case with the gem I built today from github (0.3.5)

No element_by_xpath support?

Trying to run a new WATIR test that runs on Firewatir and I get:

NoMethodError: undefined method element_by_xpath' for #<Watir::Safari:0x10161f308> ./UserSPlogin.rb:29:inusersplogin'
Misc.rb:18:in `test_00001_UserSPlogin'

BuildError couldn't understand kern.osversion `14.3.0'

I'm having trouble installing this gem on Yosemite 10.10.3.

Getting the error:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

Any clue as to what might be causing this?

filling textfield with utf8 string

Recently I was trying to write some tests and found that strings with utf8 symbols are not handled correctly. Sample code and patch here: http://gist.github.com/121719

undefined method `is_frame?

I have try this

browser.link(:id, "aboutButton").click

but have an error.

what's happen ?

submodule needs update

No element_by_xpath support?

Error installing watir

When I try to install watir I have the following error:

$ gem install watir

My configuration:

• Ruby 2.4.0p0
• Gem 2.6.8

Multiple parameters?

I've written a simple dsl that a nice abstraction over Xwatir. The dsl always passes a has to the method. For example:

button(:id => 'some_id') OR button(:id => 'some_id', :index => 1)

This works fine on Watir and Firewatir but fails in Safariwatir.

Further Installation Reqs?

I attempted to install via the steps in the Readme.

git...; cd...; rake install

The install failed:

macbook:safariwatir John$ rake install
(in /Users/John/safariwatir)
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- echoe
/Users/John/safariwatir/Rakefile:3
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I resolved this by installing the dependency 'echoe' through gem and reran rake.

The install failed again, complaining thus:

:safariwatir John$ rake install
(in /Users/John/safariwatir)
Missing manifest. You can build one with 'rake manifest'.

So I ran 'rake manifest':

:safariwatir John$ rake manifest
(in /Users/John/safariwatir)
Cleaning
Building Manifest

• Manifest
• README.rdoc
• Rakefile
• lib/safariwatir.rb
• lib/safariwatir/core_ext.rb
• lib/safariwatir/scripter.rb
• lib/watir/exceptions.rb
• safariwatir_example.rb

and then reran 'rake install'. The gem installed correctly at that point.
