Howdy,
I am not sure this will help. Here is an example of how we have been able
to locate data in table cells.
Create a file called MSNTest.rb with this code:
# CLS February 7,2007 Example for finding table data
#includes:
require 'watir' # the watir controller
require "rexml/document"
require "date"
require '/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit'
require '/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'watir/testUnitAddons'
require 'watir/WindowHelper'
require '/Apps/watir_bonus/examples/Stuff.rb'
include REXML
include Watir
include Stuff
puts "## Begin Test - MSN Table Test"
class MSN_Test < Test::Unit::TestCase
include Watir
def setup
@ie = IE.new
@ie.goto("http://www.msn.com";)
end
def test1
assert(@ie.link(:text, "Sports").exists?)
# @ie.show_all_objects
@ie.show_tables
Table.new(@ie.table(:index, 1)).printPretty
end
end
#
#
# END - MSN test
In the same directory create a file called Stuff.rb with this code:
# This module uses REXML to parse the XML.
# REXML is available at http://www.germane-software.com/software/rexml/
require "rexml/document"
require "date"
include REXML
# There is no need for the test to require or include REXML.
module Stuff
# The Table class provides convenience methods for accessing data in
# WATIR tables
class Table
#The constructor for Table takes a WATIR table and
# assigns it to the instance variable @table
def initialize(table)
@table = table
end
#Takes a string and two integers. Returns the contents of
# the table cell at the index of the second integer for the
# row where the string is in the cell at the index of the
# first integer.
# Example: myTable.assoc("findMe",2,4) finds the row of
# the table where the text "findMe" is in the second column,
# and returns the contents of the 4th column
def assoc(text,rowFinder,targetCell)
@table.each { |row|
if row[rowFinder].to_s.include? text
return row[targetCell].to_s
end
}
return nil
end
def printPretty()
rows = 0
@table.each { |row|
rows += 1
puts "row " + rows.to_s + ":"
print "\t"
cells = 0
row.each { |cell|
cells += 1
print "cell " + cells.to_s + ": [" + cell.to_s + "]\t"
}
print "\n"
}
puts
"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
end
end
end
Execute the MSNTest..rb script to see the results of the content of the
table on the MSN home page. This site happens to only have one table, but
if there were multiple tables just use the index value of the table your
target data resides (Table.new(@ie.table(:index, ??)).printPretty).
Good luck,
Carl
