How to use generate_line_string method of SeleniumRake Package

In Webdriver(java), we can perform mouse over action like this:

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
WebElement imageSpan = driver.findElement(By.className("badgeFeatured"));
actions.moveToElement(imageSpan);

This is now supported in Selenium 4.0, here's a working example:

driver.get('http://watir.com/examples/shadow_dom.html')

shadow_host = driver.find_element(id: 'shadow_host')
shadow_root = shadow_host.shadow_root
shadow_content = shadow_root.find_element(id: 'shadow_content')

From MDN's URL documentation:

It is worth noting that the part after the #, also known as the fragment identifier, is never sent to the server with the request.

Check your server logs; you'll see that any request to /widget-web/#/ is sent as a request to /widget-web/. The # prevents anything after it from being sent to the server.

If you want to tell the IE version during run time, you can use DesiredCapabilities.

  DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = null;
  ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
  ieCapabilities.setBrowserName("internet explorer");
  ieCapabilities.setVersion("Version Number");
  driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieCapabilities);

For more info about DesiredCapabilities use this link http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/DesiredCapabilities.

In the comments you said that i need both IE 8 and 9. Actually it is not possible, Windows currently supports to install only one IE version in a box. The IEDriver used the installed version of IE to launch.

If you want to use multiple version of IE to test then the better option to go with Windows Virtual Machines. You can talk with virtual machines by using the RemoteWebdriver instances.

I have found the problem there is no auto discovery for nodes, this fixes it:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.3.0.jar -role webdriver -hub 192.168.10.52:4444/grid/register port 5555 -browser browserName="internet explorer",version=8,platform=WINDOWS

Watir is largely based on selenium. Selenium does not support authorization with proxying as of the time of this posting.

An issue has been brought up https://github.com/watir/watir/issues/798 but nothing has come of it yet. Possibly in the future; but I would suggest looking at alternative methods for right now.

Works on OSX. Firefox 34.0.5

Spec:

  describe 'Download CSV' do
    let( :submission_email ){ 'foo@example.com' }
    let( :email_csv ){ "id,email,created_at\n1,#{ submission_email }," }

    specify do
      visit '/emails'
      expect( page ).to have_content 'Email Submissions'

      click_on 'Download CSV'

      expect( DownloadHelpers::download_content ).to include email_csv
    end
  end

Spec helper:

require 'shared/download_helper'

Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
  profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
  profile['browser.download.dir'] = DownloadHelpers::PATH.to_s
  profile['browser.download.folderList'] = 2

  # Suppress "open with" dialog
  profile['browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk'] = 'text/csv'
  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox, :profile => profile)
end

config.before( :each ) do
    DownloadHelpers::clear_downloads
end

shared/download_helper.rb:

module DownloadHelpers
  TIMEOUT = 1
  PATH    = Rails.root.join("tmp/downloads")

  extend self

  def downloads
    Dir[PATH.join("*")]
  end

  def download
    downloads.first
  end

  def download_content
    wait_for_download
    File.read(download)
  end

  def wait_for_download
    Timeout.timeout(TIMEOUT) do
      sleep 0.1 until downloaded?
    end
  end

  def downloaded?
    !downloading? && downloads.any?
  end

  def downloading?
    downloads.grep(/\.part$/).any?
  end

  def clear_downloads
    FileUtils.rm_f(downloads)
  end
end

Text fields do not have text. The value you see in the text field is actually the value of their value attribute.

You can get an element's value attribute by doing:

element['value']

Therefore, your test needs to do:

@tester.browser.find_element(:id => "id_of_text_field")['value'].should == 'test value'

I always used:

$ gem install selenium-client

I think that's the official one, but I can't find a place where it says this.

Once you installed it, all you have to add to your tests is:

require "test/unit"
require "rubygems"
gem "selenium-client", ">=1.2.16"
require "selenium/client"

class ExampleTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
    attr_reader :browser

  def setup
    @browser = Selenium::Client::Driver.new(...
