Hello, I have a login form on /login.php which POSTs to /dorf1.php when access is granted and to /login.php when it is denied. require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW:Mechanize.new() login = agent.get("http://server/login.php") form = login.forms.action("dorf1.php") form.fields[2].value = "wronguser" # login

I just had an interesting meeting with developers from other parts of my company. One of the things they said they really liked about Java- based solutions was the availability of sys-admin tools to monitor Java (probably J2EE) applications. Nothing comes to mind in the RoR camp to cover this. I''m sure there are plenty of generic tools for watching pings and log files, but is

Hello again! I''ve another "what would you do in this situation" question. You''ve got 6 controllers, one named base. The other 5 controllers extend base. Currently they share one layout. Your layout displays navigation. However, there are two actions inside base for which you do not want navigation displayed (index, new). Do you... a) Add logic to your layout telling

I didn''t get much notice on #rubyonrails, so I thought I''d post here: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/ looks pretty broken, also lots of "book not found" errors: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/17 -Mat

Heyas :) I''m wondering how do I do to send my custom HTTP headers when posting a form. agent.set_headers is a private method and I don''t know how to get a reference to HTTPHeaders to use add_field and such. Since my request is a form, I''m sending it using agent.submit(form). Any hints? Bonus question: I would like to upload a file to a REST webservice, but I

I am new to Mechanize and was wondering if there was a built-in method to get the elements that are on the page that are not part of a form. A couple of examples would be my banking site lists my entries and I want them to go into an array so that I can handle them. Or another site I use, does some categorization for me and I would like to manipulate it and present it differently to a user.

Hi, Installing ruby (following wiki recommandations) with darwinport, I have the following error when I want to install rails gem: /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- sources (LoadError) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'' from

Last week I posted a question about monitoring Rails applications. Basically, the java folks at my business cited one of their reasons for sticking with Java is it''s monitoring tools. After picking some ears, I found out that the one we''re looking at most is JBoss Operations Network. And I have to say, it''s pretty neat.

I''ve been reading, hearing, and looking at blogs that state Ruby on Rails is rather slow. Coming from a VB 6 world (thank you Microsoft for killing VB because VB.NET is NOT VB) I was always told that VB was a toy or too slow. Now, I''ll easily tell you that yes VB was not a great language. It had it''s share of warts, like a lot of other languages I might add, but

I''m trying to use mechanize against a site that has four fields in the form. However, those four fields have to be filled in order. So putting something in field one, populates the second field drop down. So I''m thinking that I''ll probably have to call the page multiple times? What sort of things should I be doing to figure out how to interact with this page.

I looked at the basic profiling information in the Agile book and around google, but the profiler script that comes with rails doesn''t really seem sufficient. Something like: ruby -r profile <functional test file> Seems a lot more like what I''m trying to get at. But is there any solution that I missed that will give me nice profiling output for functional test

(In lieu of the broken bug-tracker) TestResponseBehavior#binary_content calls the block generated by send_file with no parameters. But the block created at http:// dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/actionpack/lib/action_controller/ streaming.rb#L68 expects a response and an output stream. The following patch corrects the block.call in binary_content at

Here''s what I mentioned on ruby-talk a little while ago. Basically mechanize 0.5.4 could match a link on a regexp regardless of children in that link. 0.6.0 can''t. Here''s a demonstration, but I can''t get require_gem to properly load 0.5.4 for some reason. I keep getting "uninitialized constant WWW (NameError)". Under 0.5.4 it will return

I''ve been noticing about a 2 second pause between PUT requests when running either webrick or mongrel. GET, LIST and DELETE all work great. I tested this by using curl to make a lot of continuous requests. Even if I remove everything from the controller method and just replace it with render(:nothing => true) I still get the lag. So I don''t think it''s

Hey Aaron, I''m just thinking out loud here, but have you considered the possibility of using the Rhino [1] library to implement javascript support in mechanize? It''d create a jruby dependency for that feature, but still. Just thought I''d bring it up while I was thinking about it. -Mat [1] http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/

Is there a decent way to add a field to a form before posting it? I haven''t tried using HPricot manipulations just yet, since I can''t ever find really solid docs on hpricot.... Form#[]= doesn''t work because it first searches only pre-existing fields. I''m investigating how to write a patch now. But I thought maybe someone here might have an idea.

I found an interesting page today that I was trying to script against. The server returns a 404 with content and the page just works normally in firefox despite the 404. Mechanize raises an exception on it though. I''m working on a test case now.

I haven''t spent the time to get a proper test case for this yet, but there appears to be a bug in the basic_auth code for mechanize 0.6.9. I''ve attached a CSV (from Charles) that illustrates the problem. Basically when running with basic_auth, there''s a failed request that''s followed up by a successful request. That last POST is a agent.submit(form)
