watir-webdriver result not same as manual test

... or when is a click not a click..?

I'm testing SAP Enterprise Portal using cucumber & watir-webdriver.

During manual tests I observe the portal behaving as expected. During the cucumber tests (same user+pass) the portal behaves differently and my test fail.

To be more specific: there is a bookmark in the portal that has the correct URL during manual testing, yet during automated testing it points to "/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.navigation.helperservice/html/child.html". This popup is always blank...

I get this using WinXP+IE7 and Win7+IE8.

Is there any evidence of the webdriver behaving differently to a user?


I was trying to automate testing in SAP Enterprise Portal. The challenge with SAP EP is that the HTML is composed of multiple nested, dynamic <iframes> - sometimes 10+ deep! Due to this I had to abandon cucumber/watir-webdriver and I switched to HP QTP with the SAP EP plugin.

The subsequent comments I made were an attempt at sharing the gem versions - I got the formatting all wrong and they looked like some spam bot was attacking the site... I am considering deleting them, but I'm not sure if this will help.
