Comment on page-object 0.5.4 released by cheezy

Here’s an example that demonstrates what you want:

class MyPage include PageObject


  NAME = 0

  AMOUNT = 1
  table(:accounts, :id => 'account_id')
  def find_amount_for(account_name)

    row = accounts_element.find {|row| row[NAME].text == account_name}

    row[AMOUNT]

  end

end

In the find_amount_for method I’m looking through each row attempting to match the first column’s text with the provided value. This returns the row. Once I have the row I simply return the second column which has the amount.

Let me know if this is not clear.

Do you happen to have any examples of how to use tables? I did see your feature files but none of those really cover how someone would actually use a table when you don’t know the exact rows and columns you will have. For example, I would want to do something like this:

Given I am on the results page
When the results table exists
And the row for “Offshort Accounts” is found
Then the column “Valuation” should be “$2,410,905.00″

In other words, I’d want to cycle through the rows of a table to find one that had “Offshore Accounts” in its Name column. Then I would check the column “Valuation” in that same row for a specific value. It’s not clear to me how to do that.

I looked through the source but it’s not clear to me how the TableCell, TableRow and Table elements can be used together.

Scratch that, it is an element:

my_workspace.my_workspace_information_options_element.exist?

I just now updated to 0.6, so maybe this will go away.

Also, can I get a “.disabled?” for checking if a field is read only?

That’s odd because I keep getting the deprecation warning for .exist?

It’s hard to tell (since I’m not yet sure what line in my code is throwing the warning) , but maybe it’s not an Element I’ve put that method on…

I will be adding methods that have been requested. I think you will find that nearly everything is there already. For example, .exist? is a method on Element.

Is it safe to assume you’re going to be adding methods like “.exist?” and “.present?” before you make the switch over?

Abe,

I’ll look into this. It should be that hard. In the mean while, would you mind going to the github site and opening up an issue?

Thanks

Comment on Playing the waiting game by Abe Heward

Hey Cheezy,

Any chance you could add a generic “wait_for_ajax” method to your code, a la what’s discussed here:

http://agilesoftwaretesting.com/?p=111
and here:
http://tanin.nanakorn.com/watir/wait_for_ajax

Currently I’ve added a kludge to the Watir::Browser class that looks like this:

def wait_for_ajax(timeout=30) while !(self.execute_script("return jQuery.active == 0"));end self.wait(timeout) end

But I have no doubt that you’ll be able to write something much better.

I find that writing custom wait statements all over the place is tedious and sometimes very complicated. Also, I generally find I can’t use the stuff that you’ve written because your framework model often doesn’t fit into how and when I need to wait for stuff.

Comment on Those pesky frames and iframes by cheezy

Steve, There are actually two public in_frame methods. The one in accessors.rb is the one that is available at a class level. It is used to declare that elements will be found in a frame when you call the generated methods for the element. The method in page_object is an instance level method that can be used to identify items found in the frame at runtime. The second one can also be used with the Javascript popups if they are attached to a DOM from a frame. Hope this helps. -Cheezy

I’m trying to understand how this in_frame stuff works since I have a series of issues with it. In your code base, you have in_frame declared in four places:

The two page_object.rb files (under watir_webdriver and selenium_webdriver) make sense. Those are the specific implementations of how frames are recognized for each driver.

But you have what appear to be identical methods called in_frame. One is in page_object.rb (the main one in the lib directory) and the others is in the accessors.rb file. The former makes sense: it’s calling the platform-specific ones mentioned above. So when is the one in accessors.rb called?
