Can Not Click The Same Element Class Using Watir - ruby

I have the following screen:
And I use the following Ruby script to click the "Add New" button:
vendorTab = driver.a id: "tab-master-tab-vendor"
vendorTab.wait_until_present
if vendorTab.exists?
vendorTab.click
end
addNewButton = driver.button class: ['btn btn-primary']
addNewButton.wait_until_present
if addNewButton.exists?
addNewButton.click
end
But, when I move to another tab and try to click the same "Add New" button, the Ruby script doesn't work.
Is there anything wrong with my Ruby code?
buildingTypeTab = driver.a id: "tab-master-tab-building"
buildingTypeTab.wait_until_present
if buildingTypeTab.exists?
buildingTypeTab.click
end
addNewButton = driver.button class: ['btn btn-primary']
addNewButton.wait_until_present
if addNewButton.exists?
addNewButton.click
end
I Appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

I guess all of these tabs are part of the same web page? I.e., all in the same HTML?
If that is the case, driver.button class: ['btn btn-primary'] is going to stop when it finds the first instance in the HTML, but that isn't the button you are looking for every time (it's the button in the first tab, where your script worked as you expected).
The best options in my mind are
find a way to uniquely identify the button in each tab (for example, use id instead of class if possible), or
pull all the buttons into a collection and click the button using its collection index after you figure out which index aligns with each tab. For example,
button_collection = browser.buttons(:class, ['btn', 'btn-primary'])
button_collection[2].click # Will click the 3rd button in the collection

After reading the suggestions from pjd,
I modified it a bit and got it working like this:
buildingTypeTab = driver.a id: "tab-master-tab-building"
buildingTypeTab.wait_until_present
if buildingTypeTab.exists?
buildingTypeTab.click
end
addNewButton = driver.button(:class => ['btn btn-primary'], :index => 2)
addNewButton.wait_until_present
if addNewButton.exists?
addNewButton.click
end
As pjd said, yes all these tabs are part of the same HTML
Thank you.

Posting data on website using Mechanize Nokogiri Selenium

I need to post data on a website through a program.
To achieve this I am using Mechanize Nokogiri and Selenium.
Here's my code :
def aeiexport
# first Mechanize is submitting the form to identify yourself on the website
agent = Mechanize.new
agent.get("https://www.glou.com")
form_login_AEI = agent.page.forms.first
form_login_AEI.util_vlogin = "42"
form_login_AEI.util_vpassword = "666"
# this is suppose to submit the form I think
page_compet_list = agent.submit(form_login_AEI, form_login_AEI.buttons.first)
#to be able to scrap the page you end up on after submitting form
body = page_compet_list.body
html_body = Nokogiri::HTML(body)
#tds give back an array of td
tds = html_body.css('.L1').xpath("//table/tbody/tr[position()>1]/td")
# Checking my array of td with some condition
tds.each do |td|
link = td.children.first # Select the first children
if link.html = "2015 32 92 0076 012"
# Only consider the html part of the link, if matched follow the previous link
previous_td = td.previous
previous_url = previous_td.children.first.href
#following the link contained in previous_url
page_selected_compet = agent.get(previous_url)
# to be able to scrap the page I end up on
body = page_selected_compet.body
html_body = Nokogiri::HTML(body)
joueur_access = html_body.search('#tabs0head2 a')
# clicking on the link
joueur_access.click
rechercher_par_numéro_de_licence = html_body.css('.L1').xpath("//table/tbody/tr/td[1]/a[1]")
pure_link_rechercher_par_numéro_de_licence = rechercher_par_numéro_de_licence['href']
#following pure_link_rechercher_par_numéro_de_licence
page_submit_licence = agent.get(pure_link_rechercher_par_numéro_de_licence)
body_submit_licence = page_submit_licence.body
html_body = Nokogiri::HTML(body_submit_licence)
#posting my data in the right field
form.field_with(:name => 'lic_cno[0]') == "9511681"
1) So far what do you think about this code, Do you think there is an error in there
2) This part is the one I am really not sure about : I have posted my data in the right field but now I need to submit it. The problem is that the button I need to click is like this:
<input type="button" class="button" onclick="dispatchAndSubmit(document.JoueurRechercheForm, 'rechercher');" value="Rechercher">
it triggers a javascript function onclick. I am triying Selenium to trigger the click event. Then I end up on another page, where I need to click a few more times.. I tried this:
driver.find_element(:value=> 'Rechercher').click
driver.find_element(:name=> 'sel').click
driver.find_element(:value=> 'Sélectionner').click
driver.find_element(:value=> 'Inscrire').click
But so far I have not succeeded in posting the data.
Could you please tell me if selenium will enable me to do what I need to do. If can I do it ?
At a glance your code can use less indentation and more white space/empty lines to separate the internal logic of AEIexport (which should be changed to aei_export since Ruby uses snake case for method names. You can find more recommendations on how to style ruby code here).
Besides the style of your code, an error I found at the beginning of your method is using an undefined variable page when defining form_login_AEI.
For your second question, I'm not familiar with Selenium; however since it does use a real web browser it can handle JavaScript. Watir is another possible solution.
An alternative would be to view the page source (i.e. in Firebug) and understand what the JavaScript on the page does. Then use Mechanize to follow the link manually.

Capybara - Determine if selector count has changed

I am writing a test to confirm that hidden (Note: not destroyed. They are hidden using a boolean DB field) items no longer show up on my page. I know with Capybara I can use the following to confirm a selector's count:
expect(page).to have_selector('input', count: 12)
Is it possible to use similar logic to determine if the count has changed upon clicking a hide link?
Thanks in advance
previous_count = page.all('input').size
click_on("Hide")
new_count = page.all('input').size
expect(new_count).to_not eq(previous_count)
or
expect do
click_on("Hide")
end.to change { page.all('input').size }

Capture selected value from list using webdriver and Ruby

I'm using selenium webdriver with ruby. I've written a script that will fill in a form. One field is a dropdown list. What I would like to do is capture the value I selected in the list.
For example: If I had a list of cars and I selected Honda I would like to capture the value in the field (Honda) and place it in a variable for me to use later.
I hope I'm making sense.
You can use below code select list items:
cars_select = driver.find_element(:id=> "cars_list")
//use id of your dropdownlist
options = cars_select.find_elements(:tag_name=>"option")
options.each do |el|
if (el.value == "Honda")
el.select()
var selected_car = el.value;
break
end
end
If you are selecting from dropdown with:
browser.select_list(id: 'some_id').option(text: 'some_value').select
Then you can store that value in a variable, like below:
var1=browser.select_list(id: 'some_id').option(text: 'some_value').value
Hope this will work. If not, then provide your dropdown part html, and explain more. I am using watir-webdriver, try if this work for selenium-webdriver.

Initiate Button click action using Watir Ruby library

Watir::Browser.default = "firefox"
ie = Watir::Browser.start("http://cars.com")
ie.select_list(:id, 'make_1').set('Chevrolet')
ie.select_list(:id, 'model_1').set('Cobalt')
ie.select_list(:id, 'pricehighnew').set('No Max')
ie.select_list(:id, 'rdnew').set('30 miles')
ie.text_field(:name, "zc").set "44109"
ie.form(:method, "GET").submit #Here is the problem...
URL: http://www.cars.com/
Can anyone help me initiate button click action searching for "New Cars" form on the top left. Seems like they are using JavaScript as well. I appreciate any help.
There's probably a way to do it with JavaScript, but taking just a minute I was able to click the button two different ways:
ie.span(:text=>"Search New").click
ie.link(:href=>"javascript:checkZipFirst(document.newForm, quickSubmitNew, document.newForm.zc.value);").click
Also any of these would work:
browser.a(:class => "button primary zc-submit").click
or
browser.link(:name => "submit").click
or
browser.a(:id => "submit", :index => n).click
where n is the index number

checking if all elements in a drop down menu are present with selenium testing using ruby?

HI
how can i check if all elements in an array i created are present in a drop down menu using selenium testing?
i have something like this but dosent seem to work
ANIMALS = ["snake","cat","dog"]
def validate_all_animals_exist(selenium)
ANIMALS.each { |animal| assert selenium.is_element_present(animal), "Expected category [#{animal}] to be present" }
end
thanks in advance
You need to use the verifySelectOptions call
verifySelectOptions(selectLocator,
pattern) Generated from
getSelectOptions(selectLocator)
Arguments:
* selectLocator - an element locator identifying a drop-down menu
Returns:
an array of all option labels in the specified select drop-down
Gets all option labels in the specified select drop-down.
So it would be
assert_equal "123123", page.get_select_options("foo").join(",")
