Your problem is that you are trying to call the .each method on a
single checkbox, not a collection of checkboxes. There error is a
missing 's' character at the end of this line
checkboxes = $browser.div(:class,'add-themes').checkbox
That's going to return the first checkbox with that class, not a
collection of ALL checkboxes with that class
Secondly, it's a stylistic thing mostly I suppose, but I have to ask,
why write it this way
checkboxes = $browser.div(:class,'add-themes').checkbox
checkboxes.each do |checkbox|
Instead of just using this
$browser.div(:class,'add-themes').checkboxs.each do |checkbox|
Also in the inner loop, why do
puts chckbxValue = checkbox.value
instead of
puts checkbox.value
The biggest testability problem I see with your code is that your list
items have no easy means to identify them, and the checkboxes have no
text, but rather a label defined in parallel within the list item.
Maybe someone else can find a more elegant means of doing this, but I
suspect you may need to make use of the .parent method, using perhaps
something along this line
davalue = browser.label(:text, "Ambulatory/Outpatient
Care").parent.checkbox.value
That should work if the objective is to get the value for a known
label. If you are trying to build up some kind of list of
labels&values then you could do something similar to this
browser.lis.each_with_index do | li, i|
puts i
puts li.label.text.inspect
puts li.checkbox.value
end
