Merging Three hashes and getting this resultant hash - ruby

Question

I have read the xls and have formed these three hashes
hash1=[{'name'=>'Firstname',
'Locator'=>'id=xxx',
'Action'=>'TypeAndWait'},
{'name'=>'Password',
'Locator'=>'id=yyy',
'Action'=>'TypeAndTab'}]
Second Hash
hash2=[{'Test Name'=>'Example',
'TestNumber'=>'Test1'},
{'Test Name'=>'Example',
'TestNumber'=>'Test2'}]
My Thrid Hash
hash3=[{'name'=>'Firstname',
'Test1'=>'four',
'Test2'=>'Five',
'Test3'=>'Six'},
{'name'=>'Password',
'Test1'=>'Vicky',
'Test2'=>'Sujin',
'Test3'=>'Sivaram'}]
Now my resultant hash is
result={"Example"=>
{"Test1"=>
{'Firstname'=>
["id=xxx","four", "TypeAndWait"],
'Password'=>
["id=yyy","Vicky", "TypeAndTab"]},
"Test2"=>
{'Firstname'=>
["id=xxx","Five", "TypeAndWait"],
'Password'=>
["id=yyy","Sujin", "TypeAndTab"]}}}
I have gotten this result, but I had to write 60 lines of code in my program, but I don't think I have to write such a long program when I use Ruby, I strongly believe some easy way to achieve this. Can some one help me?
The second hash determines the which testcase has to be read, for an example, test3 is not present in the second testcase so resultant hash doesn't have test3.

We are given three arrays, which I've renamed arr1, arr2 and arr3. (hash1, hash2 and hash3 are not especially good names for arrays. :-))
arr1 = [{'name'=>'Firstname', 'Locator'=>'id=xxx', 'Action'=>'TypeAndWait'},
{'name'=>'Password', 'Locator'=>'id=yyy', 'Action'=>'TypeAndTab'}]
arr2 = [{'Test Name'=>'Example', 'TestNumber'=>'Test1'},
{'Test Name'=>'Example', 'TestNumber'=>'Test2'}]
arr3=[{'name'=>'Firstname', 'Test1'=>'four', 'Test2'=>'Five', 'Test3'=>'Six'},
{'name'=>'Password', 'Test1'=>'Vicky', 'Test2'=>'Sujin', 'Test3'=>'Sivaram'}]
The drivers are the values "Test1" and "Test2" in the hashes that are elements of arr2. Nothing else in that array is needed, so let's extract those values (of which there could be any number, but here there are just two).
a2 = arr2.map { |h| h['TestNumber'] }
#=> ["Test1", "Test2"]
Next we need to rearrange the information in arr3 by creating a hash whose keys are the elements of a2.
h3 = a2.each_with_object({}) { |test,h|
h[test] = arr3.each_with_object({}) { |f,g| g[f['name']] = f[test] } }
#=> {"Test1"=>{"Firstname"=>"four", "Password"=>"Vicky"},
# "Test2"=>{"Firstname"=>"Five", "Password"=>"Sujin"}}
Next we need to rearrange the content of arr1 by creating a hash whose keys match the keys of values of h3.
h1 = arr1.each_with_object({}) { |g,h| h[g['name']] = g.reject { |k,_| k == 'name' } }
#=> {"Firstname"=>{"Locator"=>"id=xxx", "Action"=>"TypeAndWait"},
# "Password"=>{"Locator"=>"id=yyy", "Action"=>"TypeAndTab"}}
It is now a simple matter of extracting information from these three objects.
{ 'Example'=>
a2.each_with_object({}) do |test,h|
h[test] = h3[test].each_with_object({}) do |(k,v),g|
f = h1[k]
g[k] = [f['Locator'], v, f['Action']]
end
end
}
#=> {"Example"=>
# {"Test1"=>{"Firstname"=>["id=xxx", "four", "TypeAndWait"],
# "Password"=>["id=yyy", "Vicky", "TypeAndTab"]},
# "Test2"=>{"Firstname"=>["id=xxx", "Five", "TypeAndWait"],
# "Password"=>["id=yyy", "Sujin", "TypeAndTab"]}}}

What do you call hash{1-2-3} are arrays in the first place. Also, I am pretty sure you have mistyped hash1#Locator and/or hash3#name. The code below works for this exact data, but it should not be hard to update it to reflect any changes.
hash2.
map(&:values).
group_by(&:shift).
map do |k, v|
[k, v.flatten.map do |k, v|
[k, hash3.map do |h3|
# lookup a hash from hash1
h1 = hash1.find do |h1|
h3['name'].start_with?(h1['Locator'])
end
# can it be nil btw?
[
h1['name'],
[
h3['name'][/.*(?=-id)/],
h3[k],
h1['Action']
]
]
end.to_h]
end.to_h]
end.to_h
