You will have to use another tool, since Watir can not test flash.

I never had to test flash, but you could try Sikuli:

Thanks alot Filipin, sure I will try with it.

 

Actually I was looking for testing the Web Applicaitons based on Flash. So, I have started exploring Watir and found interesting to do it. But I got doubt about it, will it supports to test flash based apps or not.

I really appreciate, in case any plugins/gems will get release to test it in future, please drop a message. I will also keep in touch with site to get updates.

 

have a nice day :)

 

thanks in advance.

Flash objects do not expose their internals (buttons etc) to the browser, they are basically a black box, and just show up usually as a swf file in the HTML and the DOM.  Some commercial tools have add-ons you can buy to work with flash stuff, I've not used them so have no idea how well they work..

I've used Sikuli in a few scripts where I needed to click a button inside a flash app and it worked great for that.  It's image based so as long as the look and feel of the flash buttons etc does not change much its a pretty easy solution to use for that.   http://sikuli.org/   Most folks that need to do this end up running watir via JRUBY.   if you google on watir and sikuli you are likely to find a few articles on how to use the two together.

I have called sikuli scripts from normal ruby, there is no need to use jruby. You can call any script from ruby.

That's good to know, thanks.  I was just going by the examples I had seen that all used JRuby (perhaps because Sikuli is java based, so it was presumed it would work better that way.. or maybe just because the examples were used by folks that like JRuby better than regular ruby.  

Either way good to know it should work just fine from regular ruby.    (have you put any examples of that up anywhere?)

I plan to write about it on my blog soon.

I publish a project based on sikuli on github.

I use it with watir-webdriver to test flash games on facebook.

It support invoking sikuli function remotely and you needn't install JRuby.

Provide two client API, ruby and java
