Work with frames

TestWise Recorder does not support operations in frames yet. The work around is simple: Ues Watir syntax for operations in frames. Let's walk through with an example. Here is a sample page with an iframe embedded, its html source fragment of frames as below:

    &lt;/pre&gt; 1. Firstly, we use TestWise recorder to record operations on that page, including controls in the iFrame. !/sites/testwisely/img/manual/iframe_recorder_TestWise.png! 2. Paste into TestWise IDE to create a test case, and run it. We will have get an error on first operations in the frame. !/sites/testwisely/img/manual/iframe_test_failed.png! 3. Go back the recorder in Firefox, click 'Watir' tab, copy operations in the frame. &lt;pre class="brush: ruby;" name="code"&gt;browser.text_field(:name, "username").set("tester") browser.text_field(:name, "password").set("TestWise") browser.button(:value,"Login").click&lt;/pre&gt; !/sites/testwisely/img/manual/iframe_recorder_watir.png! 4. Replace the (iframe) test steps in previous test scripts, &lt;pre class="brush: ruby;" name="code"&gt;enter_text("username", "tester") enter_text("password", "TestWise") click_button("Login")&lt;/pre&gt; Then replace *browser.* with *frame(:id, "Frame1")*, this tell browser the operations context. Run it, pass! !/sites/testwisely/img/manual/iframe_test_pass.png! Complete test script: &lt;pre class="brush: ruby;" name="code"&gt; require 'rwebspec' spec "Page with iFrames" do include RWebSpec::RSpecHelper before(:all) do open_browser("http://TestWise.com/demo/page-with-iframes") end scenario "Test pages in an iFrame" do click_link("Link on page") frame(:id, "Frame1").text_field(:name, "username").set("tester") frame(:id, "Frame1").text_field(:name, "password").set("TestWise") frame(:id, "Frame1").button(:value,"Login").click end end&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;r:snippet name="comments" &gt;&lt;/r:snippet&gt;
