Yaml

Hi,

All I want it to read this YAML as a ruby hash and place into the
below methods. Could someone help?

test: tiscali
url: http://tiscali3-test.vizumi.com/
register:
first_name: aidy
surname: smith
email: ‘[email protected]’
password: password
registration: KJHDF123

tiscali= SmokeTest.new(“Tiscali”, “http://tiscali3-test.vizumi.com/”)
tiscali.register(‘aidy’, 'smith, ‘[email protected]’,
‘password’, ‘KJHDF123’)

Hi Greg,

Thanks for you help but I am having trouble losing the hash value when
calling the method

one.rb

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)
data = YAML.load_file(filename)
obj = new(data[‘test’], data[‘url’])
obj.register(data[‘first_name’], data[‘surname’], data[‘email’],
data[‘password’], data[‘registration’])
end

SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(‘C:\test.yaml’)

two.rb

def register_an_account(first_name, last_name, email, password,
registration_code)
enter_first_name(first_name)

 ..........

end

def enter_first_name(first_name)
$browser.text_field(:id, /firstname/).set(first_name)
$test_log.test_results “comment”, “first name entered of:
#{first_name}”
end

Cheers

Aidy

I don’t know what you mean by that.

one.rb

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)
data = YAML.load_file(filename)
obj = new(data[‘test’], data[‘url’])
obj.register(data[‘first_name’], data[‘surname’], data[‘email’],
data[‘password’], data[‘registration’])
end
[…]

This is incorrect. You are missing the last line from the method I
originally wrote, which is just obj. If you don’t have that, the
create_from_yaml method returns whatever obj.register returns, rather
than
the created object itself. This may be the problem you are having.

Hi,

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)
data = YAML.load_file(filename)
obj = new(data[‘test’], data[‘url’])
obj.register(data[‘first_name’], data[‘surname’], data[‘email’],
data[‘password’], data[‘registration’])
obj
end

SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(‘C:\tiscali.yml’)

When I get to obj.register(data[‘first_name’], I get a nil object.

My yaml is

test: tiscali
url: http://tiscali3-test.vizumi.com/
register:
first_name: aidy
surname: smith
email: ‘[email protected]’
password: password
registration: KJHDF123

Thanks

Ah, yes, that would do it. Sorry, I missed that.

There are two things I do not undersand

why you have added a method to this class:

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)

And how can you get away with instantiating here.

obj = new(data[‘test’], data[‘url’])

Hi All (greg)

I just can’t get the code to iterate through both docs.

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)
require ‘yaml’
log = File.open(filename)
#yp = YAML::load_documents(log) { |data|
YAML::each_document(log) { |data|
obj = new(data[‘test’], data[‘url’])
obj.register(data[‘first_name’], data[‘surname’], data[‘email’],
data[‘password’], data[‘registration’])
obj.login_to_site(data[‘email’], data[‘password’])
obj.search_for_film(data[‘search_term’],
data[‘expected_search_result’])
obj
}
end

SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(‘C:\tiscali.yaml’)

test: tiscali
url: http://tiscali3-test.vizumi.com/
first_name: aidy
surname: lewis
email: [email protected]
password: password
registration: KJHDF123
search_term: Alien
expected_search_result: Alien 3

test: Vizumi

Well, it’s sort of a constructor built on top of the standard
constructor
(new). It certainly belongs to the class, since it is building an object
of
that class, and because it is a method of that class object, it can call
new without fully qualifying it (i.e. SmokeTest.new).

Remember that there is nothing terribly special about the new method. I
believe it does nothing more than call alloc (to get an uninitialized
object of the class) then call initialize on that object. (I’m sure I
will
be corrected if there is more to it than that.) Likewise, there
is nothing special about the initialize function. By convention (and
default implementation), it is called by the class new method, but it’s
just a method like any other.

All I did was write a new constructor for your class, wrapping the
default
constructor.

I am insufficiently familiar with multi-document YAML to help you here.
Sorry. Perhaps someone else will be able to help.

Thanks for the help. Not much documention on YAML. Just feel it is
right for testing. Doing this and just one iteration running (

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)
require ‘yaml’
File.open(filename) do |yf|
YAML.each_document(yf) do |data|
obj = new(data[‘test’], data[‘url’])
obj.register(data[‘first_name’], data[‘surname’], data[‘email’],
data[‘password’], data[‘registration’])
obj.login_to_site(data[‘email’], data[‘password’])
obj.search_for_film(data[‘search_term’],
data[‘expected_search_result’])
obj
end
end
end

SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(‘C:\tiscali.yaml’)

(one file)
test: tiscali
url: http://tiscali3-test.vizumi.com/
first_name: aidy
surname: smith
email: ‘[email protected]’
password: password
registration: KJHDF123

test: vizumi

Hi, question: do you have a document separator between each YAML
document?
It’s three dashes.

docs = <<END

Document 1

Document 2
END
=> “- Document 1\n—\n- Document 2\n”

YAML.each_document(docs) { |doc| p doc }
[“Document 1”]
[“Document 2”]
=> nil
