Hello,
I'm fairly new to Ruby, cucumber, and WebDriver and ran into what
seems to be a Ruby issue. It doesn't seem to be handling my .intern
or .to_sym in this mock-up inline form, ele.send_keys(x[i],
x[i].intern, x[i], x[i].intern)
I tried both intern and to_sym with the same result, as expected.
I'm trying to parse a string and output a string with symbol
parameter.
Input string: 'Student One', :return, 'Student Two', :return
Output: ele.send_keys('Student One', :return, 'Student Two', :return)
def fill_in(field_name,text)
# ele = Find.Element(find_locator(:text_field,field_name))
# ele.clear
#The above correctly obtains the text:
# 'Student One', :return, 'Student Two', :return
#Therefore, hard code to test:
text = "'Student One', :return, 'Student Two', :return"
items = text.split(/,\s?/)
ele.send_keys(items.each_index {|x|
next if x % 2 == 1
if (x<items.size-1) then items[x] +', ' else items[x] end
items[x+1].intern
})
end
Output
'Student One', :return, 'Student Two', :return
When I run this instead of the symbols acting like symbols they act
like strings, the :returns are not resolved.
However, hard coded strings and symbols like the following work as
expected:
ele.send_keys('Student One', :return, 'Student Two', :return)
Output
Student One
Student Two
