I'm writing a ruby webdriver test that needs to store a dynamic value such as an order ID to use later on in the text. I think I need to extract the value from the string and then store it as a variable to call for future use.
The string looks like this and I just need to extract/store the numeric value.
<span class="receiptNum hidden-xs">Receipt #: 12303430</span>
Any tips or examples on how to extract that value and create a variable for future use would be great!
To extract the text (only numbers) out of the this element, try using the following code:
#numbers = #driver.find_element(:css=>'receiptNum').text.scan(\d+)
Currently I am saving this number in an instance variable which can be used again in the same test as it will flow around with the test object till the test finishes.
Other option include saving it in a temp txt file and reading from it when required.
Note: Fetching data now and using it later is not a good practice, try not to use this very frequently.
Hope it helps!!!

How can I get the value of important id and ValueType?
I have tried using web_save_param_regexp (but unfortunately I don't fully understand how the function works).
I have also tried using web_save_param (with the help of offset and length).
unfortunately once again I cannot get the accurate value some values change in length specially when the total amount values dynamically changes per run.
<important id=\"insertsomevalueshere\" record=\"1\" nucTotal=\"NUC609.40\"><total amount=\"68.75\" currency=\"USD\"/><total amount=\"609.40\" currency=\"USD\"/><out avgsomecost=\"540.65\" ValueType=\"insertsomevalueshere\" containsawesomeness=\"1\" Score=\"-97961\" somedatatype=\"1\" typeofData=\"VAL\" web=\"1\">
Put these lines of code before the line of code which does your web request:
web_reg_save_param_regexp("ParamName=importantid","Regexp=<important id=\\\"(.*?)\\\"",LAST);
web_reg_save_param_regexp("ParamName=ValueType","Regexp= ValueType=\\\"(.*?)\\\"",LAST);
You will then have two stored parameters 'importantid' and 'ValueType'
Dynamic number of elements to correlate? Your path for resubmission is through web_custom_request(). You will need to build the string you need dynamically with the name:value pairs for all of the data which needs to be included.
This path will place a premium on your string manipulation skills in the language of the tool. The default path is through C, but you have other language options if your skills are more refined in another language.
Been looking all over the place for a solution to this issue. I have a Yahoo Pipe (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=e5420863cfa494ee40e4c9be43f0e812) that I've created to pull back image content from the Bing Search API. The URL builder includes a $skip attribute that takes an integer and uses it to select the starting (index) point for the result set that the query returns.
My initial plan had been to use the math engine in the Wolfram Alpha API to generate a random number (randomInteger[1000]) that I could use to seed the $skip value each time that the pipe is run. I have an earlier version of the pipe where I was able to get the query / result steps working using either "XPath Fetch" and "Fetch Data". However, regardless of how I Fetch the result, the response returns as an attribute / value pair in a list item.Even when I use "Emit items as string" in XPath Fetch, I still get a list with a single item, when what I really want is the integer that I can plug into my $skip attribute.
I've tried everything in Pipes I can think of, and spent a lot of time online looking for an answer. Is there anyway to extract text (in this case, a number) from a single list item and then use the output as input to "wire" a text parameter in another Pipes block? Any suggestions / ideas welcome. In the meantime, I'm generating a sorta-random number by manipulating a timecode hash, but it just feels tacky :-)
Thanks!
All the sources are for repeated items. You can't have a source that just makes a single number.
I'm not really clear what you're trying to do. You want to put a random number into part of the URL string that gets an RSS feed?
I have been looking for a way to read out an Excel spreadsheet with keeping the dates that are in them being kept as a string. Unfortunately I can't see if this is possible or not, has anyone managed to do this or know how?
You may want to have a look at the Row class of the spreadsheet gem:
http://spreadsheet.rubyforge.org/Spreadsheet/Row.html
There's a lot that you can get there, but the Row#formatted method is probably what you want:
row = sheet.to_a[row_index] # Get row object
value = row.formatted[column_index]
The formatted method takes all the Excel formatting data for you and gives you an array of Ruby-classed objects
I think you can try row.at(col_index) method..
You can refer to this page
It's a long story, but I will try make it simple:
I generated MeterMaid XML files with SugarMMM; I chose only the Accounts module:
I converted above files to JMeter format with MeterMaid (I consolidated the tests into one file and named it "filename.xml"):
ruby GenMeter.rb --inputfile=filename.xml --outputfile=filename.jmx
I did the necessary CSV setup. All the CSV file contains is the login details (usr,pwd) for testing concurrent user logins. This part works well indeed.
When I run the test, I can see that a whole bunch of ${} variables are converted into corresponding values. Sadly, ${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1} doesn't get resolved... here's what the GET url (from View Results Tree Listener component) looks like:
http://localhost/sugarcrm/index.php?module=${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1}&action=Popup&hide_clear_button=true&mode=MultiSelect&create=true&metadata=undefined
Note that it's not the only variable that isn't resolved. The following screenshot shows the other tests that fail, all also caused by other variables not replaced by their corresponding values:
Here's how this variable is set up (which is well before the time it's used):

Verify in your CSV dataset config, all variables are declared correctly (no typos, no omissions, no spaces before variable names, etc.)
I would also suggest putting a debug sampler high in your tree, as it will show you every variable and its value and can save a lot of time.
Edit:
It looks like your regex is setup incorrectly for creating multiple groups. If you look in your Debug sampler, you have SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE=Accounts but not SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1= . This implies you don't have GROUPS setup.
In looking at your regex, the line template: $0$ is saying "only give me one group", whereas it looks like you want 4. Thus, you should try template: $1$$2$$3$$4$ the first match should be _g1 the second _g2 and so on. Check out the manual for details.
make judicious use of the ${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1} variable throughout the script after it gets defined by the Regular Expression Extractor. Verify it exists. Use it in Controller titles, test headings, at the beginning of tests, and at the end of tests.
That will help narrow it down
This way you can follow it along in the script to make sure it exists just before the moment it is used, and find where it's breaking down. Basically print statement debugging.
I don't know about sugar CRM or metermaid but for jmeter I had a similar problem with variable that were not resolve.
Check if this variable is declared somewhere or maybe you need to write a reg ex to extract that value from the previous request.
The problem I got It was that I extracted the variable from a CSV files
the variable name was CONTRACTNO, CLIENTNO
my URL : /SomeURL/bla?eventId=contractSelected&contractNoSelected=${CONTRACTNO}&applicationID=BLa
And it wasn't working so I changed the variable name in the csv file to :
CONTRACTNO,CLIENTNO (look that I removed a space)
Jmeter tend to be very picky with space in name and variable definition.
You are expecting the following values
${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1}
but you have configured the Regular Expression Extractor reference name as
"SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE"
There two options you can get the values
You have to change the ${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1} into ${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE}
You have to change the Regular Expression Extractor reference name as "SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE _g1" to "SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE"
After this your values will be replaced properly.
It looks like your regular expression isn't picking up a match, your default value is set to "Accounts" and in your debug output that's the value of the variable. You'll only get match groups if the regular expression matches.
The View Results Tree listener now has a RegExp tester, so you can go to the request that you're trying to extract the variable SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE from the result in the results tree and choose RegExp Tester from the dropdown where it says "Text".
You can then run your regular expression on the response data in the RegExp tester and probably find that it doesn't match and then hone your regular expression so that it matches and update it in your Regular Expression Extractor.
I created a GUI and used uiimport to import a dataset into matlab workspace, I would like to pass this imported data to another function in matlab...How do I pass this imported dataset into another function....I tried doing diz...but it couldnt pick diz....it doesnt pick the data on the matlab workspace....any ideas??
[file_input, pathname] = uigetfile( ...
{'*.txt', 'Text (*.txt)'; ...
'*.xls', 'Excel (*.xls)'; ...
'*.*', 'All Files (*.*)'}, ...
'Select files');
uiimport(file_input);
M = dlmread(file_input);
X = freed(M);
I think that you need to assign the result of this statement:
uiimport(file_input);
to a variable, like this
dataset = uiimport(file_input);
and then pass that to your next function:
M = dlmread(dataset);
This is a very basic feature of Matlab, which suggests to me that you would find it valuable to read some of the on-line help and some of the documentation for Matlab. When you've done that you'll probably find neater and quicker ways of doing this.
EDIT: Well, #Tim, if all else fails RTFM. So I did, and my previous answer is incorrect. What you need to pass to dlmread is the name of the file to read. So, you either use uiimport or dlmread to read the file, but not both. Which one you use depends on what you are trying to do and on the format of the input file. So, go RTFM and I'll do the same. If you are still having trouble, update your question and provide details of the contents of the file.
In your script you have three ways to read the file. Choose one on them depending on your file format. But first I would combine file name with the path:
file_input = fullfile(pathname,file_input);
I wouldn't use UIIMPORT in a script, since user can change way to read the data, and variable name depends on file name and user.
With DLMREAD you can only read numerical data from the file. You can also skip some number of rows or columns with
M = dlmread(file_input,'\t',1,1);
skipping the first row and one column on the left.
Or you can define a range in kind of Excel style. See the DLMREAD documentation for more details.
The filename you pass to DLMREAD must be a string. Don't pass a file handle or any data. You will get "Filename must be a string", if it's not a string. Easy.
FREAD reads data from a binary file. See the documentation if you really have to do it.
There are many other functions to read the data from file. If you still have problems, show us an example of your file format, so we can suggest the best way to read it.
