Ruby to get the value from HTML table which has same elements - ruby

Question

I have a HTML file code which is shown below:
<table id="plans" class="brand-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="domain">Plans</th>
<th class="basic">Basic</th>
<th class="plus">Plus</th>
<th class="prime">Prime</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="even">
<td>
www.test.com
</td>
<td>
<input name="upgrade" type="radio">
//this span element is hidden
<span class="plan_status"></span>
</td>
<td>
<input name="upgrade" value="plus www.test.com" type="radio">
//this span element is hidden
<span class="plan_status"></span>
</td>
<td>
<input name="upgrade" value="prime www.test.com" checked="" type="radio">
<span class="plan_status">current</span>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I want to check which plan is the current plan in the page through Ruby Watir. Below is the script:
require 'watir'
browser = Watir::Browser.new(:chrome)
browser.goto('file:///C:/Users/Ashwin/Desktop/new.html')
browser.table(:id, 'plans').tds.each do |table_row|
if table_row.input(:value, 'plus www.test.com').text =~ /current/i
p 'current plan status is plus'
elsif table_row.input(:value, 'prime www.test.com').text =~ /current/i
p 'current plan status is prime'
else
p 'current plan status is basic'
end
end
But I am getting the output as:
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.6.11/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:513:in `assert_exists': unable to locate element, using {:value=>"plus www.test.com", :tag_name=>"input"} (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)

from C:/Users/Name/Documents/NetBeansProjects/RubyApplication6/lib/new_main15.rb:7:in `<main>'
But I want the output to be as:
current plan status is prime
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance

Instead of checking which td element has the "current" text, I would suggest checking which radio has the checked attribute. This reduces the number of elements you have to worry about interacting with.
You can find the selected radio using:
table_row.radios.find(&:set?).value
You can then check the value of the radio to see if it starts with the word "plus" or "prime":
# Note that we scope to the tbody to ignore the header row.
# Also make sure you do `trs` not `tds` for the rows.
table_rows = browser.table(id: 'plans').tbody.trs
# Iterate through the rows and check the checked radio button
table_rows.each do |table_row|
case table_row.radios.find(&:set?).value
when /^plus/
p 'current plan status is plus'
when /^prime/
p 'current plan status is prime'
else
p 'current plan status is basic'
end
end
Note that for older versions of Ruby (ie v1.9), you will need to find the selected radio using:
table_row.radios.find { |r| r.set? }.value
