[Wtr-general] Newbie - Ruby dev IDE question
Another newbie question - if you were developing a webapp on Windows XP, for eventual production installation on Linux hosting, and wanted a Ruby / Rails / Watir development IDE, would you go with Komodo, RadRails or another product. Why? Thanks a bunch for your helpful responses. Pauli ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
[Wtr-general] Newbie - please point me at an appropriate demo
Hello, I've just downloaded Ruby and Watir. I've looked at WET's webpage. I have a table of parameters, which I'd like to use sequentially as input to the same test, logging the results as testing proceeds. WET can support this requirement, on the input side, from spreadsheets with it's 'datatable' feature. But my parameters are in a MySql database table, and I'd like to update the results there. Since Ruby provides DBI access to databases, I figure I would be better served if I just coded it myself in Ruby. However, I'm new to Ruby. I've found Ruby, DBI and WATIR documentation. What I'd dearly like to see is some sample code that executes a query from a table, iterates the results, processing a WATIR test for each row, and logs the results at each test completion. Is there such a sample anyone can point me at? Or, barring that - any pointers on how best to approach this? In any case, once I get it working, I think it would be a good sample to add to the Wiki - I'll try and add it there - once I'm done. Much thanks!

Jason, Thanks much - that looks to be helpful. I'm more interested in how to iterate the WATIR test though. So far I haven't seen how to - in language that come from my programming background, but may not be exactly Ruby/WATIR appropriate - wrap a test inside a function that I can call with parameters, that will return some results set. Once I have that, I can just plug it into the code from the page you linked for me, and I'm away! Pauli --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just found this searching ruby mysql in Google...
