Error when attaching to a new window - watir

I'm trying to figure out the best way to attach to a new browser. I've been successful using the following.
browser.attach(:title, "title")
I was reading over at the Watir development group that the preferred way to do it is like this:
browser.attach(:title=>"title")
This syntax seems to work for all other other elements, except for the attach method. The error method I get is ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2).
My tests are running fine, I'm just curious if the attach method should support both ways of doing this.

I have noticed the same thing recently. I guess it is a bug. Would you create a ticket?
http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR

popup = Watir::Browser.attach(:url,'whatever')
seemed to work for me. Or instead of a popup I also used ie2?

Accessing Area.Name Throws Error

I'm just trying to find a way to access the name property of an Area element inside Revit Python Shell, tried looking on Jeremy Tammik's amazingly informative blog, tried AUGI, Revit API docs, been looking for 2 days now...
Tried accessing via a bunch of ways, FilteredElementsCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Areas), tried by Area class, tried through AreaTag, every single time I get an error under every circumstance and it's driving me nuts, it seems like such a simple issue that I can't seem to grasp!
EDIT: Also tried by element id, through tags, through area schemes, nada, no go...
Can anyone please tell me how to access this property via RPS?
I would say two things:
areaObject.LookupParameter("Name")
areaObject.GetParameters("Name")
...are valid methods. Please notice how I used GetParameters() NOT GetParameter(). There are some drawbacks to using either one of the two. The lookup method will return FIRST parameter that matches the name which in many cases might be a different parameter for different elements. It's not very reliable.
GetParameters() method will return them all if there are multiple so then you have to deal with a List<Parameter> rather than a single object that you can extract your value from.
I would personally recommend to use areaObject.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.ROOM_NAME) method to extract a Name value from Area object. The BuiltInParameter always points at the same parameter, and will reliably return just that one parameter. Here's a little more details about these methods:
http://www.revitapidocs.com/2018/4400b9f8-3787-0947-5113-2522ff5e5de2.htm
To answer my own question, I actually never thought of looking through the code of other Revit Python scripts... in this case of PyRevit, which is in my opinion far more eloquently written than RPS, raelly looking forward for their console work to be done!
Basically, I had mistakenly used GetParameter('parameter') instead of LookupParameter('parameter').
As I said, it was something stupidly simple that I just didn't understand.
If anyone has sufficient knowledge to coherently clarify this, please do answer!
Many thanks!
Maybe your issue is the same as this one ? :

Open a dialog from a Sitecore uiUpload Pipeline process

I'm currently trying to show a SheerResponse.YesNoCancel() dialog within the Save uiUpload pipeline process from Sitecore. The problem appears when I do that call and it throws a NullException. I thought it was weird so I started copying the code from Sitecore's DLL and adding it to my solution. After that, I found that if the property OutputEnable is false it returns a ClientCommand that is NULL and when it tries to add a control to it, the Exception appears. So Fixing that I was able to finish the execution of that method. Anyway I still can't show the dialog. So the question is: Can I show a Dialog from a Sitecore uiUpload pipeline?
Have you tried using Sitecore.Context.ClientPage.ClientResponse.YesNoCancel(), i did something similar to what you are trying to do, but i used Alert(), worked fine for me.
Update: Actually inside uiUpload pipeline you can't call this method, however what you can do is use HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<html><head><script type=\"text/Javascript\">[Your Java Script</script></head></html>"), you will need to abort the pipeline after this args.AbortPipeline();, not sure if this will help your case or not
No you cannot. From http://sdn.sitecore.net/Articles/Media/Prevent%20Files%20from%20Uploading.aspx:
The uiUpload pipeline is run not as part of the Sheer event, but as part of the form loading process in response to a post back. This is because the uploaded files are only available during the "real" post back, and not during a Sheer UI event. In this sense, the uiUpload pipeline has not been designed to provide UI.
That page was written for v5.1 and 5.2, but I'm pretty sure it still applies. The page claims that you can emit javascript to the page like Ahmed suggested, but it didn't work when I tried it.

webstorm autocomplete for require(.json)

Webstorm is pretty smart when providing auto completion for node.js modules.
unfortunatelly for some reason if the required module is a json file i.e
var settings = require('./settings.json);
it does require it and build an object with the data but, no autocomplete is provided in the editor.
Anyone have any solutions for that?
Thanks.
Looks like it was a bug, logged as WEB-10568.
The issue has been marked as Fixed since this answer was originally posted.

Serverside script stop working after heavy usage

i have build a tabbed application with XPages.
My problem is, when i open to fast to much tabs, every serverside script stop working.
I get still a partial refresh but he did not execute any serverside script. After a full refresh every think works again. I can reproduce this an every server.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
UPDATE (more details)
I work with iframes and in every tab i create a complex view (with a repeater)
I've i open the tabs not to fast everything works just perfect, but if i open the tabs to fast nothing will work, it affects to every script.
I got no clientside script error and i got also no serverside scipt error.
Some of these scripts are simple like document.replaceItemValue("fieldname", "value");
I've set just a print statement in the function but it also won't execute.
It seems that the server deletes the xpages session if he comes in memory trouble
You need to check carefully. It sounds less than a "heavy" usage and more like a concurrency problem. Be aware that any variable you define in a script library is application scoped. If multiple calls update the same value you might experience such a behavior. The scope variables are there to keep values.
The solution for the problem is, i have to increase the number for the xsp.persistence.file.maxviews property

Information Management Policy in SharePoint

An obscure puzzle, but it's driving me absolutely nuts:
I'm creating a custom Information Management Policy in MOSS. I've implemented IPolicyFeature, and my policy feature happily registers itself by configuring a new SPItemEventReceiver. All new items in my library fire the events as they should, and it all works fine.
IPolicyFeature also has a method ProcessListItem, which is supposed to retroactively apply the policy to items that were already in the library (at least, it's supposed to do that for as long as it keeps returning true). Except it doesn't. It only applies the policy to the first item in the library, and I have absolutely no idea why.
It doesn't seem to be throwing an exception, and it really does return true from processing that first item, and I can't think what else to look at. Anyone?
Edit: Cory's answer, below, set me on the right track. Something else was indeed failing -- I didn't find out what, since my windbg-fu isn't what it should be, but I suspect it was something like "modifying a collection while it's being iterated over". My code was modifying the SPListItem that's passed into ProcessListItem, and then calling SystemUpdate on it; as soon as I changed the code so that it created its own variable (pointing at the exact same SPListItem) and used that, the problem went away...
There's only a couple of things I can think of to try. First, are you developing on the box where you might be able to use Visual Studio to debug? So just stepping through it.
Assuming that's not the case - what I'd do is fire up WinDBG and attach it to the process just before I registered the policy. Turn on first chance exceptions so that it breaks whenever they occur. you can do that by issuing the command "sxe clr" once it is broken in. Here's a little more info about WinDBG:
http://blogs.msdn.com/tess/archive/2008/06/05/setting-net-breakpoints-in-windbg-for-applications-that-crash-on-startup.aspx
What I'd do is then watch for First Chance exceptions to be thrown, and do a !PrintException to see what is going on. My guess is that there is an exception being thrown somewhere that is causing the app to stop processing the other items.
What does the logic look like for your ProcessListItem? Have you tried just doing a return true to make sure it works?
Some nice ideas there, thanks. The Visual Studio debugger wasn't showing an exception (and I've wrapped everything in try/catch blocks just in case), but I hadn't thought of trying Windbg...
