I am just getting started with automated testing on RubyMine using Watir webdriver. So far I am having a blast and I find it works really well, even for a newb like me! :)
I want to create a test which retrieves an order code that is generated during the test and then later use the same code to run an 'include?' verification query on a different page.
I know I can use an HTML selector to show Watir where the code is, I want to know how to copy it and use it later. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm close to getting my homegrown POS app to work with Square, but I'm missing something simple and can't seem to turn up an answer. I'm using FileMaker Go as the app, but I don't think that that is relevant to my current proof-of-concept issue. It may be relevant to other issues later (callbacks).
In my point-of-sale-api settings, I have:
com.filemaker.go.17
for the Bundle ID, and
create-workflow
for the iOS App URL Schemes, which seems to be the first piece of code that Square allows me to save. Any prefixed item such as shortcuts://create-workflow gives an error without description (I'm hoping that Square will trigger a workflow as a test in this POC).
I'm hoping to just trigger safari or workflow/shortcuts with the callback as filemaker go doesn't directly accept the callback response without a helper application - which I'll eventually try.
Any thoughts on what I'm missing?
Thanks tons!
the problem is: my web application uses ZK, which automatically generates random UUID for each web element.
When I try to record some basic test-case with Selenium IDE, it automatically tries to use these randomly-generated ID's, without even giving me a good alternative.
Is there a way to forbid Selenium IDE to use IDs while locating elements?
Possible workaraounds:
Implement ID generator in ZK: I've thrown away this possibility, because the application GUI is too complex for this task, and ID should be unique for whole sesion, which make this workaraound really hard to implement, when you have same elements on different page.
Find another recording tool: I've only found XLT script developer, which does the work by writing DOM-path using classes (which zk gives plenty) - but sometimes the location strategy gives false path, which is then not reproducible. Any good alternatives here?
You can change locater builder by changing the order of the locater in options>locater builder.
For example if you want to give first preference to css: name drag it on the top so when you start recording it will first give the preference to css name
Hope this will help you
When I run my selenium test without the turbolinks gem installed in my Ruby on Rails app, the tests pass. When I include turbolinks, the tests fail. For example if the test starts off
Open /
clickAndWait link=Sign in
type id=session_email any#example.com
Then I will get an error
"[error]Element id=session_email not found.
When I look at the page source, the session_email id is still there with turbolinks installed. I found this page, http://www.digitalkingdom.org/rlp/tiki-index.php?page=Selenium+And+Javascript, which seems to indicate there could be a problem with detecting the page has fully loaded.
Is there away to fix this without changing hundreds of lines in my test suites? If not, is there a reliable selenium method that can test that a turbolinked page has fully loaded?
After some help with the github turbolinks-compatability project, I am able to provide a partial answer to this question.
If the turbolinks gem is being used, then you will need to modify your selenium test cases in order to make sure the page is really loaded. For example, if your test has the following code in it
Open /
clickAndWait link=Sign in
type id=session_email any#example.com
then it needs to be modified to
Open /
click link=Sign in
waitForElementPresent id=session_email
type id=session_email any#example.com
There are a number of "waitFor" modifiers you can used, depending on what is the feature on the page you want to test next.
However, if the test involves a javascript pop up, then you should not add a waitFor command. So for example if you have at test like
clickAndWait link=Delete
assertConfirmation Are you Sure?
you should not modify the code. Indeed adding a waitFor test hangs execution in the case of javascript popups.
This solution involves line-by-line manual modification of the code. I have opened up an issue on the Selenium Users group to see if there is some better way to handle this problem.
I am using the Google Maps API in an Android project and now I need to test it using JUnit if possible. (I am somewhat new to both JUnit and Google Maps.) I have been scouring the internet but was unable to find anything.
The map view has dots/pins for stations and when I tap one I get a balloon popup with the name and other info. Then when I tap the balloon I get a new view with information about the location and actions to perform such as navigate.
What I want to know is, is it possible to write a JUnit test case that finds all these dots/pins, taps them, and verifies information on the new view that pops up? Additionally, I would like to change/mock the location that the GPS has and see what happens if I try to, say navigate overseas or something like that.
I do have a list view of the same locations which I will test as well, but I would like to know if there is a way to test the map view.
I would prefer an automated test script like what JUnit provides. If this is not possible with JUnit what is the best alternative?
I am working with Android 4.0 and using Eclipse.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In case anyone wants to know after much searching I finally found something that can test Google Maps. Things such as zoom level and I believe tap pin (method is called tapMapMarkerItem()) are supported. I have not tested the pin tap yet tho.
Apparently the awesome Robotium does not support map testing by itself. Nicholas Albion was nice enough to create an extension to provides testing support for maps on Android. Thank you so much Nicholas!
So here it is:
1. Download the Robotium jars from robotium.org (I found this helpful http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidTesting/article.html - by Lars Vogel)
2. Download the extension from https://github.com/nalbion/robotium-maps
I am developing an application in which I input text; when I hit enter it will speak. Does anyone know any sound engine or source code I should include so that it will talk? I have been trying to make this for the last four months but am not able to get it working. Please help me with this.
Have you tried using FLITE? It's easy to use and works quite well.
