Instead of building a collection of all links on the page, ie doing
`browser.links`, you can use locators to build a collection of certain
links. In this case, you would want to be filtering links based on the
:href. For example, the collection would be `browser.links(href:
/mysite\.com/)`.
Here is what the script might look like:
require 'watir-webdriver'
b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
# Go to the site
b.goto 'mysite.com'
# Find all of the links that include mysite.com in the href
internal_links = b.links(href: /mysite\.com/)
# Iterate through the links
internal_links.each_with_index do |_, i|
# Go back to the start page
b.goto 'mysite.com'
# Note that navigating to another page will invalidate our element
references
# As a result, we need to re-locate the link using the index
b.link(href: /mysite\.com/, index: i).click
# Perform actions on the page
p b.url
end

Good afternoon guys,
I was wondering if someone could help me.
Please correct me if I am wrong as I have just started learning Watir and
Ruby.
Lets say I have 20 websites to be checked but I don't know the links so
what I am doing it is searching for them using the index value as follows:
require 'watir-webdriver'
b = Watir::Browser.new
b.goto mysite.com
b.links.each_with_index do |_, i|
b.link(index: i).click
end
This piece of code will go and click on all the links that are available
on the Home page, however, I want it to just click on the internal links
only and not the external ones as well, for example mysite.com/hello,
mysite.com/howareyou.
I have found a work around which is that knowing what index the external
websites are you could skip them, however, I believe there must be a way of
skipping them by href or so, but because I am new I don't really know.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Cip
