Hi Brett-
The solution i came up with may be the long way around, and i can see
some problem areas which need to be worked out, but essentially what i
did was bastardize the show_all_objects to make a write_all_objects
function, then parse and submit the resulting page with the following
functions:
class WebPage
# Parse the web page, extracting links to images
def newpass(len)
chars = ("a".."z").to_a + ("A".."Z").to_a + ("0".."9").to_a
newpass = ""
1.upto(len) { |i| newpass << chars[rand(chars.size-1)] }
return newpass
end
def parse(host)
dict = []
newDict= []
$i=0;
$ie.write_all_objects("pageObject.txt")
File.open("pageObject.txt") do |file|
while line = file.gets
dict[$i]= line.split
$i =$i+1
end
end
$j=0
for x in dict do
if x[0] == "text" || x[0] == "checkbox" || x[0] ==
"submit" || x[0] == "select-one" then
newDict[$j] = x
$j=$j+1
end#if zeroith x is text
#puts newDict
end# every item in the dictionary
return newDict
end# parse page object
def fillPageForms(host,newDict)
for y in newDict do
$id
$value
if y[1].include? "name" then
$id = y[1].gsub("name=", "")
elsif y[2].include? "id=" then
$id = y[2].gsub("id=", "")
end
if y[3].include? "value" then
$value= y[3].gsub("value=", "")
end
#check for field type
if y[0] == "text" then
if $value != "" then
host.text_field(:id, $id).set($value)
else
host.text_field(:id, $id).set(newpass(8))
end
elsif y[0]=="checkbox" then
host.checkbox(:value,$value).set
elsif y[0] == "select-one" then
host.select_list(:name, $id).select_value(/1/)
elsif y[0] == "submit" then
if $value != "Clear Form" then
host.button(:name, $id).click
return
end
end# check for field type
end # for item in newDict
end #fill page forms
end # web page class
I'd love comments and feedback.
Thanks--
