Major Changes in 1.5.2
Support for IE's Modal Dialogs.
showModalDialog()
Any method can be used to specify an element (:text, :class, etc.).
ie.button(:class,'Button Menu').click
ie.div(:text, 'Type').text_field(:class, 'TextInput-input').set('my value')
ie.button(:text, 'Save').click
One can now use multiple attributes to specify an element.
ie.span(:class =>'Label', :text => 'Add new').click
Other Changes in 1.5.2
- Migrated IE.new_process from watir/contrib and improved its reliability. We now recommend IE.new_process over IE.new as a way to avoid numerous errors detailed in http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-150.
- Added IE.start_process. This works like IE.start, but uses the new_process mechanism to start IE.
- Added IE.new_window and IE.start_window. This are synonyms for IE.new and IE.start.
- Added dependency on the win32-process gem.
- Added IE.each, which iterates through the various IE windows currently open.
- Updated WindowHelper and watir/dialog to work with IE7
- The wait method was completely rewritten. This should fix various errors seen in 1.5.1.1165 and 1.5.1.1158.
- Removed the "spinner".
- Fixed bug in Element#parent and updated unit test.
- HTML value attributes are checked as strings before converting, updated unit tests.
- Watir::wait_until clean up.
- Fix for winclicker when installed in directory with spaces.
- Rdoc changes and updates.
- A workaround for frame access errors in the wait command, swallowing access denied errors and rethrowing if other WIN32OLERuntimeErrors show up.
- Add support for "li" tag.
- Fix for bug in element_by_xpath. http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general@rubyforge.org/msg06742.html
- "Wait" method now is called recursively into nested frames. http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-107
- Rdocs now only include the core Watir library (not contrib).
- Improve error reporting when IE#modal_dialog isn't found.
- Add method "ModalDialog#exists?"
- Add Watir::Win32.window_exists? method.
- Fix for winclicker setComboBoxTest and setTextBoxText http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-124
- Improved Support for IE7
o Fix for IE7 on ie.exists? http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-123
o Fix for IE7 with winclicker.
o Fix for check_for_http_error in IE7. http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-141
- Fix for IE7 on ie.exists? http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-123
- Rubyw is now used in winclicker to bypass command line windows.
- Autoit is registered before being used.
- Watir now checks for the right version of Ruby before loading our customized Win32ole library.
- ie.file_field has been fixed and unit test updated.
- rdoc generation has been fixed.
- page checker has been moved from the default behavior into contrib/page_checker.rb
- Fix for intermittent crashes occuring when using Watir with Ruby version > 1.8.2.
- Fix for http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-86
This fix prevents the Watir-modified win32ole.so library (compiled against 1.8.2) from being used.
- Added Element#parent
- Add new methods Element#after? and Element#before?
- Added support for relative specifiers. E.g.:
link = $ie.link(:class => 'addtocart', :after? => @headline)
- Removed NAVIGATION_CHECKER from Watir.rb, added to contrib. This fixes rdoc generation and stops the frame access exception being thrown in the default installation.
- Open-code calls to def_creator, for easier debugging and rdoc generation of factory methods.
- Winclicker fix for too many callbacks defined error.
- Patch for rspec API changes
- You can now reference an iframe using IE#frame(:id, 'whatever'). Jira 109
- Added 'map' and 'area' element support.
- Moved Watir::Assertions into new file watir/assertions.rb so they can be used outside test cases.
- Fix and unit test for Jira 114, related to tag in HTML source.
- Added SelectList#include? and SelectList#selected?
- Added Element#visible?
- Fixes all reported bugs with contains_text.
- New Watir::TestCase#verify method (and verify_equal and verify_match).
- The click_no_wait method now works in frames.
- Released new IE.new_process method to 'watir/contrib/ie-new-process'. This starts up a new IE process for each IE window, which is really how it should be done. To close these use IE#kill. Any one getting intermittent RPC errors when opening windows may want to use this instead.
- Several examples have been updated.
- Moved enabled_popup to a new contrib directory.
- Added several tests.
