From: defined@... Date: 2006-01-12T06:38:06+09:00 Subject: Finding an outputting a string of text Thanks in advance for any help you folks can provide. Using Ruby + Watir, I've written a script that launches IE, goes to my company's web site, and logs in, also recording the time for each transaction. I cannot figure out how to do one last thing though, I need to capture a string of text that will always begin with "server" and output it to the csv I am outputting to .This string of text is always at the bottom our our web site. Below you'll find my attempt at a script :) , any ideas you may have are greatly appreciated. -Jim sciprt begins here. =begin ############################################# This script is intended to test logging in as an agent 1. Opens a browser window 2.inserts a URL(unitrinspecialty.com) 3.Inserts a Username 4.Inserts a Password 5. Clicks the login button 6. Verifies a text string on the page ############################################## =end #includes require 'watir' # the watir controller require 'time' #time functionality #variables testSite = 'http://www.unitrinspecialty.com' executionEnvironment = 'Production' beginTime = 0 endTime = 0 d = Time.now.strftime("%m/%d/%y%t,%I:%M:%S-%p,") #create a new log file scriptLog = File.new("Agent-Login1.log", "w") # This file will be overwritten each time the script is run #open spreadsheet timeSpreadsheet = File.new( "AgentLogin1#" + Time.now.strftime("%d-%b-%y") + ".csv", "a") #Note this will create a new file every day... scriptLog.puts '## Beginning of test: Agent-Login1' scriptLog.puts ' ' #open the IE browser $ie = Watir::IE.new #action section scriptLog.puts 'Step 1: go to the Unitrin Specialty website: www.UnitrinSpecicialty.com' beginTime = Time.now $ie.goto(testSite) endTime = Time.now timeSpreadsheet.puts executionEnvironment + ",UnitrinSpecialty.com," + (endTime - beginTime).to_s + ",Time to load home page," + d scriptLog.puts ' Action: entered ' + testSite + ' in the address bar.' scriptLog.puts 'Step 2: enter "######: in the username field' $ie.textField(:name, "username").set("######") scriptLog.puts ' Action: entered ###### in the username field' scriptLog.puts 'Step 3: enter in "######" in the password field.' $ie.text_field(:name, "password").set("#######") scriptLog.puts ' Action: entered in password "######".' beginTime = Time.now scriptLog.puts 'Step 4: click on the sign in button' $ie.button(:name, "Sign").click scriptLog.puts 'Expected Result: ' scriptLog.puts ' The Agent Access Page should appear.' endTime = Time.now timeSpreadsheet.puts executionEnvironment + ",UnitrinSpecialty.com," + (endTime - beginTime).to_s + ",Time to login," + d #Results scriptLog.puts 'Actual Result: Check that the page contains the text "Using Agent Access"' a = $ie.pageContainsText("Using Agent Access") if !a scriptLog.puts 'Test Failed!
