Today was my first attempt at writing tests for RadControls with Watir and was surprised how easy it is.
I found over the intenet a good article on how to test ASP.NET applications using Watir and also refered to the Hristo Deshev's blog post about Automating Complex JavaScript-rich Controls with Watir.
If you use the approach described in it and create a watir_telerik_extensions.rb file, you will be able to create tests very quickly. See below a few tests about RadMenu, RadComboBox and RadTreeView which I have created in minutes:
1. This is a RadComboBox test which opens the drop down and verifies whether it is opened:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'watir_telerik_extenstions'
include Watir
class ComboTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
@ie = IE.new
@ie.goto "http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet/prometheus/ComboBox/Examples/Functionality/FilteringCombo/DefaultCS.aspx"
end
def test_DropDown
@ie.execute_script "$find('RadComboBox1').showDropDown()"
@ie.execute_script "window.Result = $find('RadComboBox1').get_dropDownVisible()"
assert_equal true, @ie.window.Result
end
def teardown
@ie.close
end
end
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. See below another test which is for RadMenu. It opens the first RadMenu item and verifies its text:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'watir_telerik_extenstions'
include Watir
class MenuTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
@ie = IE.new
@ie.goto "http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet/prometheus/Menu/Examples/Default/DefaultCS.aspx"
end
def test_open_item
@ie.execute_script "$find('RadMenu1').get_items().getItem(0).open()"
@ie.execute_script "window.Result = $find('RadMenu1').get_openedItem().get_text()"
assert_equal "File", @ie.window.Result
end
def teardown
@ie.close
end
end
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. This test for RadTreeView selects the first node and verifies its text:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir'
require 'test/unit'
require 'watir_telerik_extenstions'
include Watir
class TreeViewTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
@ie = IE.new
@ie.goto "http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet/prometheus/TreeView/Examples/Programming/XmlFile/DefaultCS.aspx"
end
def test_select
@ie.execute_script "$find('RadTreeView1').get_nodes().getNode(0).select()"
@ie.execute_script "window.Result = $find('RadTreeView1').get_selectedNode().get_text()"
assert_equal "Books", @ie.window.Result
end
def teardown
@ie.close
end
end
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy!
