Use of find elements in Selenium using Ruby - ruby

Can anyone please help me find how can I write find elements method in Ruby and click on first element ? I tried this but did not work.
sl=driver.find_elements(:xpath, "//*[#title='Women']")
sl[0].click
The error given is as follows
undefined method `click' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

You can use find with css selector:
driver.page.find('[title="Women"]').click

how to call clear method on the element object

In my project I have located the text_Field via some other element(via label), something like
element.following_sibling(tag_name: 'input').send_keys 'something'
But now it's typing into the text_field without any problem but I am missing clear method of text_field as it combines both clear and type together. Now I have to call clear method on element.following_sibling(tag_name: 'input') but since it's returning element object, I couldn't do that. Is there any way I can call clear method here? Or can I pass this object by some way to the text_field() method? Any help appreciated.
I know it can be called by converting the watir element into selenium element as given below
element.following_sibling(tag_name: 'input').wd.clear
But here I am missing WATIR waiting time for an element.
This appears to be a limitation in Watir's adjacent methods:
klass = if !plural && opt[:tag_name]
Watir.element_class_for(opt[:tag_name])
elsif !plural
HTMLElement
elsif opt[:tag_name]
Object.const_get("#{Watir.element_class_for(opt[:tag_name])}Collection")
else
HTMLElementCollection
end
Notice that only the :tag_name is used for determining the element's class. For input elements, we need to also consider the type attribute so that we can the right sub-class.
We should fix this in Watir (logged as Issue 878), but in the mean time, you can manually correct the class (ie Watir::TextField) using #to_subtype:
element.following_sibling(tag_name: 'input').to_subtype.clear
I got an answer to my question now.
Here is the answer.
b.text_field(element: element.following_sibling(tag_name: 'input').wd).set 'something'
If anybody has any better idea, please write your answer.Thanks.

How to fix "Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined" trying to get the location using Protractor?

I'm trying to get an element's location using the Protractor (v6.0.0) method call getLocation(), however I'm getting the following exception:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined
at <Jasmine>
at actionFn (/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/built/element.js:95:44)
at <Jasmine>
at actionResults.getWebElements.then(/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/built/element.js:468:44)
at <Jasmine>
at ElementArrayFinder.applyAction_(/usr/lib/node_modules/protractor/built/element.js:466:29)
Any clue how to resolve the issue?
Actually my code is really simple.
it('should compare login page with a baseline', async () => {
let input = element(by.id('mat-input-1'));
await input.getLocation();
});
I expect the coordinates of the input which has id mat-input-1, but unfortunately I'm getting that exception.
Protractor's CHANGELOG.md has a link to the selenium-webdriver CHANGELOG, it lists:
Changes for W3C WebDriver Spec Compliance
Replaced WebElement.getSize() and WebElement.getLocation() with a
single method, WebElement.getRect().
So it looks like you should use .getRect().
Now for Protractor 6 itself, this is clearly an issue with documentation. We recommend using 5.4.2 for now.

Ruby .include? method is not accepted as a valid method

I have this Ruby code in a script:
$dev_input=gets.chomp.downcase!
if $dev_input.include? "/"
check_developer_commands()
else
puts ">>Invalid Command<<"
continuing_dev_mode()
end
The problem is, whenever I try and run the script containing this, I get an error spat back at me that says :
dev_continue_main.rb:3:in 'continuing_dev_mode': undefined method 'include?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
Any idea what this error might be? I'm pretty sure that this is the proper way to use the .include? method. I've done some research, looked at tutorialspoint.com and some other sites, but they agree that this is the proper way to use this method.
I checked the error message and it confirmed that the third line in this script/my example is the source of the problem, so it's not some other instance of this method throwing an error.
Any thoughts? Please Help!
The problem is that $dev_input is nil. That stems from applying downcase! in defining $dev_input. I don't know why you want to possibly assign nil to $dev_input, and at the same time claim that calling include? on it is the right way. I don't get your intention for doing that, but if you instead had $dev_input = gets.chomp.downcase, then it wouldn't cause such error.

Ruby no method error with HTTParty

I am trying to make a post request in Ruby and I am getting inconsistent behaviour. I am currently using ruby-2.0.0-p598 on OSX.
When using PRY and I type the following post command:
HTTParty.post(#base_uri + '/method/?argument1&api_key=' + #api_key)
I get a successful respond from the API. However when I run it through my specs or inside the class I get:
undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass
I know it has to do with the plus sign, but I find it weird that I am getting a different behaviour. Can you please suggest what is the correct way of doing this?
Thanks in advance.
Good day
Behavior correct - some variable = nil.
You have check variables, or (in this case it is better not to do) call to_s:
HTTParty.post(#base_uri.to_s + '/method/?argument1&api_key=' + #api_key.to_s)
It looks like #base_uri and/or #api_key is null. Please double check if they are initialized with valid strings or not. Then try
HTTParty.post("#{#base_uri}/method/?argument1&api_key=#{#api_key}")
In this case, ruby will automatically try to convert #base_uri and #api_key to string so no need to call to_s method explicitly.

Rally API using Ruby: How do I reference the testcase method (Automated/Manual)?

I am using Ruby to work with the Rally API. I am trying to reference the testcase method. The method being Manual or Automated, but I always get an error. I am using Ruby, so I don’t know if method is a reserved word in Ruby, or what is happening. Could you please let me know how to reference the test case method?
I am able to do:
testcase.objective
testcase.priority
etc.
But I can’t do
testcase.method
I always get this error.
‘method’: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) (ArgumentError)
Are you using rally_rest_api or rally_api?
If you are using rally_rest_api - Charles is correct. try testcase.elements[:method]
(fieldname downcased and underscored as a symbol)
If you are using rally_api - http://rubygems.org/gems/rally_api -
Getting fields can just be:
testcase["FieldName"]
Hope that helps.
You just need to capitalize the names when trying to access built-in fields (i.e. fields that are not custom). I came across this problem myself and using tc.Method instead of tc.method fixed it.
The reason this error shows up can be seen in the docs for Object#method which, as you've likely figured out by now, causes your code to call the method method instead of access the field named method.
