I'm looking for a way to use yaml files to load test data whose values will
be put directly into a lead post url. The hash example using "URI.parse"
along with "Net::HTTP.post_form(uri....." below works well for me, but it
will be tedious to create hundreds of similar ruby scripts. This example
is the shortest form, and others require several more key => values.
Is it possible to save all of my keys and values in a yaml file, and then
load that data into my lead post url using this general script? I colored
the bit of code in green that I'm trying to improve. The rest of it is
capturing the leadid which I use to verify in the database using
TinyTds::Client. I mention this because I'm less concerned with filling
out the actual web form that I am with testing how our lead processing
engine handles different scenarios. Thanks for reading.
require "rubygems";
require "watir-webdriver"
require "net/http"
require "uri"
require "tiny_tds"
uri = URI.parse("http://SomeCompany.com/leadpost";)
#Read in the yaml
#call lead and save response
response = Net::HTTP.post_form(uri, {"leadsourceid" => "2555", "link_id" =>
"55555", "pin" => "55555555",
"nextstepid" => "2", "first_name" => "Dan", "last_name" => "Danlastname",
"email" => "[email protected]"})
puts response, "\n"
substring = "leadid>"
responsestring = response.body
start_ss = responsestring.index(substring)+7
newlead = responsestring[start_ss,8]
print newlead, "\n"
