How to get Response URL value - help requested

ruby-talk
1

Hi,
I have a problem here.
I have a ruby code that opens Google, types "book stores" and clicks on
"Search" button.

# Code Snippet Begins here

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
require 'watir'

term="book stores"

url1 = 'http://www.google.com'
ie = Watir::IE.start(url1)
ie.text_field(:name, "q").set(term)
ie.button(:name, "btnG").click

# Code Snippet Ends here

Now I need to obtain the value of the response URL generated by this
search and assign it to a variable.
[ i.e. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=book+stores]

How do I read the HTTP Header information for the "location" attribute?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Madu

This information is not available in Watir. You could use a http proxy
to get this information.

I have no experience with Watir whatsoever, but the docs show there's a url() method.

Did you check it out?

You can try SWExplorerAutomation SWEA (http://webunittesting.com).

Example:

require 'rubyclr'
RubyClr::reference 'System'
RubyClr::reference 'SWExplorerAutomationClient'
include SWExplorerAutomation::Client
include SWExplorerAutomation::Client::Controls
include SWExplorerAutomation::Client::DialogControls
explorerManager = ExplorerManager.new
explorerManager.Connect(-1)
explorerManager.LoadProject('google.htp')
explorerManager.Navigate('http://www.google.com/'\)
scene = explorerManager['Scene_0']
scene.WaitForActive(30000)
scene["q"].Value = 'c#'
scene['btnG'].Click()
scene = explorerManager['Scene_1']
scene.WaitForActive(30000)
puts scene.RuntimeSceneInfo.Url
explorerManager.DisconnectAndClose()

Result:
D:\Temp>test.rb
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=c%23&btnG=Google+Search

Thanks Andrei,
Did try the url() function from Watir but that did not work and gave me
the following exceptions...
