Well, my wife is out of town and as usual, I can't sleep at all. We've been married 5 years and we just can't sleep separate. This is both a good and a bad thing. Bad because it's 3:23am, good because I felt compelled to write some software.
I've been digging Watir lately and have introduced it around work. The question that everyone keeps asking is "ok, so how do I automatically record Watir scripts" and the answer has been, to the best of my knowledge, "um, you don't. Hopefully someone will do something soon."
I got tired of waiting. I started at 10pm and now it's 3:25 and Conan is being repeated. So, here's a screencast of my results after 5.5 hours. It's very rough but it supports text boxes, buttons, links, select lists (kinda), radios and checkboxes. It doesn't support frames, iframes, the back button, divs, tables, etc yet. It's also very sloppy code, so I think what I'm going to do is get a few volunteers in the Watir community who are also .NET savvy to help me out and I'll try to release it in a week or so.
There's some really crazy stuff going on in here with UCOMIConnectionPoint in order to get "IE on a string." Also, a lot of things are being caught on the onfocusout event. I also need to understand if HTMLDocumentEvents2 is the right object model to be watching.
If there's interest, we shall see. Interested? Here's the screencast of WatirMaker 0.1. I'm off to bed.
