Getting a List of Links Using the Ruby Sahi Driver
Clifton
Members
I would like to get a list of links on a page using the Sahi driver for Ruby. If possible, I would like to do this -without- having to change the code on the page, as done in post #1028. I would reference it, but I can't post links since I am a new user.
Background: I am trying to implement a set of test cases using Cucumber, and one of them requires that I select a random link (matching a specific set of rules) from the page, and then test that page for the presence of certain fields.
I was hoping I could use Sahi and Ruby to do this, yet I don't see how.
Yes, there are ways to access specific links, but it doesn't look like there is a way to get a list of elements matching a certain criterion (CSS rules?). I know this information should be available to Sahi when I am writing Cucumber test cases, I just don't know how to access it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

With that said, I am experimenting with setBrowserJS()
So far, I haven't gotten this working yet, either.
Onwards...
def getElements(cssRule)
js = <<JS
$$('#{cssRule}').findAll(function(el) {
if (el.href.match(/\\/activities.cfm\\?mode=edit/))
return 1
}).toArray()
JS
return (at)browser.fetch(js)
end
Now what this returns is a list of matching HREFs in a comma delimited string, not an array of Objects as I would expect. I could conceivably finish off the functionality I am looking to implement with this, however I to wonder...is there a way to get a list of DOM objects using either fetch() or set() (or whatever the Sahi equivalent is)?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
PS - This is my third post to these forums. Can I PLEASE ask that you lift whatever limitation on special symbols so I can properly get support? I can't enter an "(at)" character, so I am forced to use imprecise aliases like "(at)"!
