As you can probably tell, I’m a noob. I’m working with a program called
Watir written in ruby. I’m trying to use two txt documents to populate
two different text fields. I’m able to create the arrays, but having
trouble populating the text fields properly before Submitting. The first
field ‘Width’ populates correctly by placing one line at a time. But the
second places all values in the array into the field. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Hi Eric,
Here’s what I have:
def size_entry
size_array = IO.readlines(“OneOffSizes1.txt”)
size_array2 = IO.readlines(“OneOffSizes2.txt”)
So far so good. (Assuming the arrays are the same size). You might try
more descriptive names, too.
size_array.each_with_index do |size_array,i|
Here is where you start having problems. size_array.each_with_index
passes in two variables, the /object/ and its /index./ You are using the
same variable for the object as the array. Try something else like:
size_array.each_with_index do |width, index|
$ie.textField(:name, “width”).set("#{size_array}")
$ie.textField(:name, “height”).set("#{size_array2}")
The reason why it works for ‘width’ is because you are iterating over
size_array on the outside, but on the inside you are using the
individual values. But for size_array2 you are using the entire array!
What I think you are trying to do here is iterate through both arrays in
parallel.
Try something like:
$ie.textField(:name, "width").set("#{width}")
$ie.textField(:name,
“height”).set("#{size_array2[index]}")
$ie.button(:value, “Submit”).click
end
end #size_entry
So the whole thing would look like:
def size_entry
width_array = IO.readlines("OneOffSizes1.txt")
height_array2 = IO.readlines("OneOffSizes2.txt")
width_array.each_with_index do |width, index|
$ie.textField(:name, "width").set("#{width}")
$ie.textField(:name, "height").set("#{height_array[index]}")
$ie.button(:value, "Submit").click
end
end
end #size_entry
Hope that helps.
