long email- I have been burning too many cycles on this & just about to go back
to manual testing for now<g> ... or use Win32:GuiTest for the current problem
:>( .. too bad because I love using Watir for web app testing, and this is a
web app I've got
Does anyone know how to load test variable inputs from a file into a 2-D array
and use them in a WATIR script ?
I used to do this in Win32:GuiTest using Perl and it seemed straightforward,
(Thanks for even reading Perl <g>) eg.
open (FIL, "C:\\mAddressData.csv");
# reading from file
while ( <FIL> ) {
chomp;
push @mDatArray, [ split /,/ ];
}
for ($k=0; $k< 20; $k++) {
# get to address query home page
address1 = "$mDatArray[$k][0]";
# note the address1 field in the input file has no commas
# so I can safely use csv files as input
city = "$mDatArray[$k][1]";
state = "$mDatArray[$k][8]";
# now do some stuff on the app with the address query screen
# using the inputs from row 'k' of my input
{
# here is a similar attempt in Ruby/ Watir
##################################################################
# load data array
############
DatArray= Array.new
File.open("Data99.csv","r") do |file|
while line= file.gets
DatArray<<line.split(',')
end
end
i=0
while(i < 100)
# go to address query start
ie.text_field(:name, "address1").set(DatArray[i,0].to_s)
sleep 2
ie.text_field(:name, "City").set(DatArray[i,1].to_s)
sleep 2
ie.text_field(:name, "State").set(DatArray[i,2].to_s)
sleep 2
ie.send_keys("{tab}")
ie.send_keys("{ENTER}") #submits address query
i = i + 1
sleep 2
# end while loop
end
# number 1 problem is that line.split does not seem to really split up the line
# number 2 problem.. if I leave off 'to_s ' Ruby complains that I can't use an
array cell
# with the set argument. problem 2.1 .... If I put to_s on, Ruby concatenates
each successive string I use it with
# anyone SUCCESSFULLY done anything similar to this with Ruby/ watir ?
Thanks
Mike Tierney ..
