Re: [Wtr-general] finding text in a cell that contains a specified image?
Check out the latest version of Watir from HEAD.
Now you can do:
ie.table().table().table().cell().image().click
Each item searches inside the previous item. This now works with any
element type.
In your case, you probably want something like:
ie.table().table().table().cells.each {|c| c.text.strip if c.image(:src,
xxx).exists?}

It turns out that the page I'm checking has tables inside of tables
inside of tables ...
So this is returning the text in the highest level cell (including
those below it) that contains the image I specify although the actual
cell with the image is several layers down. This is OK before I was
matching ie.text to some expected text.
Now I'm curious. Is there a way to keep track of where I am in the
hierarchy of tables so I know when I'm at the deepest level? In your
example below, I guess I could save the text from each cell that
matches instead of returning one the first match - and then pick the
shortest string. Is there a watir way?

There is only one cell (at a time) that contains this particular
image - the text in the cell is displaying status that I'm trying
to capture. This status msg can occur in one of four different
tables - depending on which form on the page is submitted - the
same image is used in all cases.
I think I want to walk through the DOM looking for a td element

Hi Bret, Yes, we can provide the unittests once we are ready for the release, which we'll be doing very soon. We had modified the 'watir.rb' for adding the XPath support. So we need the latest 'watir.rb' so that we can do the neccessary changes.

A test version of that is ready which we have been testing and using internally; we plan to make it available to the larger Watir community if Bret, Paul et al think that it would be helpful. We had originally planned to do some more testing but if people might find it useful to have it available earlier we'll do it sooner. This sounds interesting and useful. Can you also give us unit tests? _ Bret Pettichord www.pettichord.com ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general

Re: [Wtr-general] finding text in a cell that contains a specified image?
I know it's a user preference game, but it's much more the ruby way
to stay away from for ... in ... ... also, your range starts @ 1
... what about row 0 ? Oh, and exists? is deprecated (1.4), you should
get used to exist?
how about,
t.row_count.times do |i|
theCell = t[i].find { |c| c.image( :src, xxx ).exist? }
return theCell.text.strip if theCell
end
anyways, comments are welcome.

Bret, My bad ... it's part of Ruby not you ... File.exist? and File.exists? I knew I'd seen it recently ... just wasn't clear on WHERE. Check the Std Lib docs ... under File#exist? and File#exists? ... exists? is marked obsolete. j.

I actually do use .times do|x| in some cases but Inever tried with tables until now because I assumed it would start atindex 0. Shao Ruby always starts at index 0. We made a big mistake in designing Watir and used one-based indexing. The problems you are running into are consequences of our design error. For example, ie.table(:name, 'foo')[2][3].text is the same as ie.table(:name, 'foo').to_a[1][2] This is because the first is 'watir' and the second is 'ruby', but we realize that everyday users will never be likely to figure this out. We've discussed changing Watir to use zero-based indexing, but are concerned about compatability. Paul discussed this in a recent email. Comments? Anyone opposed to a switch?
