FireWatir TextField set : Very Slow

问题

When calling the set method of a text_field in ruby, the text is being entered at a very slow rate in the browser, roughly at 1 character / second.

Environment Information:

1. Ubuntu 10.10
2. FireFox 3.6.13
3. JSSh 0.9
4. Ruby 1.9.2p136
5. FireWatir 1.7.1

Kindly advice. Thanks in advance.

回答1:

It is a known bug: WTR-397

Workaround is to use watir-webdriver or to use value= instead of set. Example:

browser.text_field(how => what).value= "string"

solve slow key type issue on firewatir:

need to edit the file text_field.rb enter to the folder

1. #>cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.7.1/lib/firewatir/elements/ make it writeable
2. #>chmod 777 text_field.rb edit the proc def doKeyPress( value )
3. put # in front of @o.fireEvent("onKeyDown") and @o.fireEvent("onKeyPress") and @o.fireEvent("onKeyPress")

instead enter fire_key_events

 def doKeyPress( value )
      begin
        max = maxlength
        if (max > 0 && value.length > max)
          original_value = value
          value = original_value[0...max]
          element.log " Supplied string is #{suppliedValue.length} chars, which exceeds the max length (#{max}) of the field. Using value: #{value}"
        end
      rescue
        # probably a text area - so it doesnt have a max Length
      end
      for i in 0..value.length-1
        #sleep element.typingspeed   # typing speed
        c = value[i,1]
        #element.log  " adding c.chr " + c  #.chr.to_s
        @o.value = "#{(@o.value.to_s + c)}"   #c.chr
    fire_key_events #add this
        #@o.fireEvent("onKeyDown")
        #@o.fireEvent("onKeyPress")
        #@o.fireEvent("onKeyUp")
      end

now it should work faster
