I'm using a simple browser.goto(url) call to our Microsoft SQL Reporting pages. It does a "goto" on the first url but then just sits there. I'm currently running it via command line.
If I Ctrl+C to cancel it, the output says:
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.5/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:506:in `wait': Interrupt
from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.5/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:355:in `goto'
from screen.rb:37:in `SqlReports'
from screen.rb:35:in `each'
from screen.rb:35:in `SqlReports'
from screen.rb:45
So, I'm guessing something on the page is causing Waitr problems. I've googled the about snippets, but not come back with anything. All I want it to do is load the page, sit there for a specified time, then move to the next url (it's for a tv screen), nothing complex.
So I've tried placing a "begin/rescue" ie:
begin
$browser.goto(url)
rescue
end
No luck, it just sits on the first url. And I've tried wrapping that using the Timeout class, ie:
begin
Timeout::timeout(30) do
$browser.goto(url)
end
rescue
end
Still no luck, it crashes out. Does anyone know a fix, or how to override the implicit "wait" that Watir does when doing a goto?
