[Wtr-general] need help clicking on one of the links with same name

[Cain, Mark]

This should work for you as long as 'searchName' is whatever is listed
in the column name Search Name from your html file you sent.

 

The html you sent didn't have a 'mainFrame' in it so I hope you full
page does otherwise you will need to remove it from the script below.

 

This script will loop through all rows, and walk all cells for that
row-'i'-and try and match 'searchName' to each respective cell value in
that row.  If it finds a match then the 'schedule' link is clicked for
that row an away you go.

 

  i = 1

  row_count = $ie.frame("mainFrame").table(:id, 'ruleTbl').row_count

  while i <= row_count

    $ie.frame("mainFrame").table(:id, /ruleTbl/i)[i].cells.each { |l|


      puts "*****\n"

      puts "\n#{l.to_s} = #{i}\n"

      puts "*****\n"

      if l.to_s =~ /#{searchName}/ then

      # this if line is not needed

      # if l.to_s =~ /schedule/ then

        puts "#######\n"

        print l.to_s 

        puts "\n#{i}iiiiiiiiiiiii\n"

        puts "#######\n"

        $ie.frame("mainFrame").table(:id, 'ruleTbl')[i][7].link(:text,
/schedule/i).click

        break;

      # end

      End

    }

    i = i + 1

  end

 

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Please find attached the html which I need help with.

It has table of searches which has actions like edit,view,schedule

attached with them.

 

I want to write a method which takes search name and schedules it.

 

The logic I have used is:

-------------------

 

$ie.frame("mainFrame").cells.each { |l| 

            i = i +1

            puts "*****\n"

            puts "\n#{l.to_s} = #{i}\n"

            puts "*****\n"

            if l.to_s =~ /#{searchName}/ then

                if l.to_s =~ /schedule/ then

                    puts "#######\n"

                    print l.to_s 

                    puts "\n#{i}iiiiiiiiiiiii\n"

                    puts "#######\n"

                    $ie.frame("mainFrame").cell(:index, i).click

                    break;

                end

            end

        }

---------

Travel each cell. When I encounter search name I am looking for,

I click the schedule link which is encountered next.

 

However, one the element that I encounter, I get a element which

is like concatenation of value elements in all the cells. Hence my test 

condition

of matching search name hits and I end up clicking wrong element. I dont

understand why this happens. When I see in the DOM tree using IE Dev
toolbar

is that particular element is having is kind of null value.

 

Is there a problem in way my html is formed, or a problem with watir.

What I expected is each cell element will have text set to value what

is visible in browser and it will be matter of locating that particular

element.

 

Any ideas.

Please let me know if you need more info.

Thanks and Regards,

Manish
