Hi, I''m having some trouble downloading a .csv file from a particular website. The file isn''t part of a url, you need to click on a link in order to get the file sent. I don''t know how to get mechanize to correctly identify that. Here is the link to the file I''m trying to retrieve: <td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center;">

I''m now in the process of facing converting a rails app to use Ruby 1.9.1. Has anyone figured out how to use 1.9 with the RSpec bundle in textmate and preferably how to switch back and forth? -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn:

This is related to Selenium/Watir usage along side webrat in story testing. MHS_Testing and Rspec-ui provide some great help for testing through frameworks like Selenium/Watir. But there is something missing, Webrat has changed the landscape somewhat with Acceptance Tests/Story Driven development. Now I have a choice: 1. Tests and rails process run as one test process (Webrat) 2. Use

So I found myself wanting to call Mechanize#get with a hash for arguments like this: WWW::Mechanize.new(''http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/'', {:method => ''flickr.auth.getFrob''... }) Granted, it looks like this isn''t supported but it led me to what looks like a bug. Namely that get calls fetch_page(abs_uri, request, cur_page, &block)

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 noticed an interesting problem today when scripting against a web app. The application contained a link in it that used %20 instead of spaces. After running mechanize through the Charles debugging proxy I found that mechanize was converting %20 to %2520 (double escaping the %20). This appears to happen under both 0.5.4 and 0.6.0. Here''s a simple set of files that demonstrate

Hi, I am trying to save a Mechanize object in database (using a Rails Model). But the save operation throws a TypeError Considering that "agent" is an instance of a Rails Model and "user" is defined as a "text" type in the Model. irb(main):039:0> agent.user = WWW::Mechanize.new #<WWW::Mechanize:0xb71295f0 @follow_meta_refresh=false, @key=nil,

I added cucumber to my rails project using the following commands: git submodule add git://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber.git \ vendor/plugins/cucumber ruby script/generate cucumber git submodule add git://github.com/brynary/webrat.git \ vendor/plugins/webrat git submodule add git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec.git \ vendor/plugins/rspec git submodule add

Just trying to get cucumber/webrat going and so after following the installation process here http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/ruby-on-rails i wrote a quick feature and when I rake features, I get the following in the console: c:/InstantRails-2.0-win/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.2/lib/acti ve_support/dependencies.rb:262:in `load_missing_constant'': Expected

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)

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! I''m using cucumber + selenium and I love it. However I''m looking to add some methods (example: click_and_wait etc) to the lib. Therefore looked around a bit and I got two questions: Firstly about rspec-ui, I''m a little confused, does rspec-ui overlap with its propose with webrat with cucumber or I''m missing a point? Secondly, are there any plans to

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 am using auto_complete to provide a list of persons from which the user can select one. On selection from the auto_complete list, a hidden field is updated with the id of the selected person. This is all wrapped in a form, that then can be submitted by the user (by clicking the provided submit button). On submission, the person (based on the id in the hidden field) is added to a group. I assume

I have a step definition like this: Then "the account should be created" do account = Account.find_by_name("my shiny new account") p account.class account.should_not be_blank end When running this step, I got the error message: Account(id: integer, name: string, state: string, next_renewal_at: date, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, full_domain: string,

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.

Hey, Aaron. Looks like that get with hash params patch you checked in had some side effects. Specifically, you''re testing if a referer is a Page (mechanize.rb:171), but the referer could also be a WWW::Mechanize::File. Like if the last page loaded was xml. Here''s a patch that addresses the issue. Thanks again, Mat -------------- next part -------------- A non-text

Has anybody had any luck getting Cucumber, Webrat and Selenium to play nicely together for SSL sites? My test environment: - nginx front-end accepting SSL requests, proxying them to mongrel back-end - mongrel back-end accepting normal HTTP requests - application routes configured with ":protocol => ''https''" so that URLs generated with "_url"

Since upgrading to Cucumber 0.1.99.19 I''ve noticed that the backtraces appearing in the console output are of the form: Page load was not successful (Code: 500): Followed by the dump of the rails error page. That page looks fine in a browser, and it''s helpful enough to see it when save_and_open_page does its thing, but I''m pretty used to reading plain old
