I've got this code below. What I'd like it to do is launch each of the search queries I've specified into browser windows, instead of listing the search results as it's currently written to do. But I'm a beginner and having a difficult time finding documentation on this. Is it possible?
The issue is the actual list of search_criteria I will be using is actually 40 terms long and I need to do it for dozens and dozens of cities - which is why I was looking to automate the search process.
If it's not possible to launch each query as a browser window (or better tabs in a browser window) is there a way to specify each URL that results in some systematic way so as to be called by Ruby from command prompt to launch as a browser window?
require "google-search"
search_criteria = ["makers", "makerspaces", "fablabs", "smartlabs"]
#City name
search_1 = search_criteria.map do |noun|
"#{noun} new york city"
end
#City acronym 1
search_2 = search_criteria.map do |noun|
"#{noun} new york"
end
#City acronym 2
search_3 = search_criteria.map do |noun|
"#{noun} nyc"
end
#Replace "search_1" for other acronyms
search_1.each do |query|
puts "Just one moment please! I am searching for #{query}"
Google::Search::Web.new do |search|
search.query = query
search.size = :large
end.each { |item| puts item.title }
end
search_criteria = ["makers", "makerspaces", "fablabs", "smartlabs"]
names = ["new+york+city", "new+york", "nyc"]
query_strings = names.map do |name|
"#{name}+#{search_criteria.join('+')}"
end
urls = query_strings.map do |q|
"google.com/search?q=" + q
end
cmd_line = urls.join(' ')
Then you pass cmd_line to the Google Chrom executable via the system() call. On Mac OS X it would be like this:
system("/Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome --url #{cmd_line}")
Chrome will then open each url in the string passed to it in it's own tab in a new window.
If you are using Windows you will have to find where the chrome.exe executable is buried, and in Linux you would just find the chrome binary to call it. Everything before the last part of ...Chrome --url #{cmd_line}") is just the path to the executable, which is buried inside the "Google Chrome.app" container on OS X.

I'm doing an automation in Ruby and Appium on mobile, and I need to access a card that is out of range, and I'm using all possible methods and it just happens error ... Does anyone have a solution? I need to down the Recycler view all the way down
Edit:
code
class AuditoriaController
def initialize
#util = UtilMethods.new
#objects = PageAuditoria.new
main = MenuPrincipal.new
#menus = main.menus
#tela_principal = main.tela_principal
#objects_auditoria = #objects.tela_auditoria
end
def acessar_auditoria
data_sync = find_element(:xpath, #tela_principal[:msg_sincronizacao]).text
data_sync.slice!("Última atualização: ")
t = Time.now
while(t.strftime("%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S") != data_sync)
btn_sync = find_element(:xpath, #tela_principal[:view_sync])
btn_sync.click
break;
end
list = find_element(:xpath, #tela_principal[:lista])
list.scrollIntoView()
#menu_auditoria = find_element(:xpath, #menus[:menu_auditoria])
#if(menu_auditoria)
# #util.logger("ACHEI AUDITORIA")
#end
end
First get the element(that is card)
Then add the below code
browser.execute_script('arguments[0].scrollIntoView();', card);
Hope it will help you. If you need any more information just comment here
EDIT:
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.execute_script('arguments[0].scrollIntoView();', card)
Here driver is the driver you are using for automation that is appium driver. Here card is the element that you want to get and scroll upto it.
In ruby:
def scroll_to_element(element)
#driverAppium.execute_script('mobile: scroll', name: element.name)
end
This will scroll to the element which you are looking for even if it is offscreen. You should be able to modify for use with Java.
scroll_to_exact(elementname) should do the job for you! This will scroll to through the elements until the specified is visible. This is in Appium_lib for ruby
I'm struggling to use the Google Cloud Speech Api with the ruby client (v0.22.2).
I can execute long running jobs and can get results if I use
job.wait_until_done!
but this locks up a server for what can be a long period of time.
According to the API docs, all I really need is the operation name(id).
Is there any way of creating a job object from the operation name and retrieving it that way?
I can't seem to create a functional new job object such as to use the id from #grpc_op
What I want to do is something like:
speech = Google::Cloud::Speech.new(auth_credentials)
job = speech.recognize_job file, options
saved_job = job.to_json #Or some element of that object such that I can retrieve it.
Later, I want to do something like....
job_object = Google::Cloud::Speech::Job.new(saved_job)
job.reload!
job.done?
job.results
Really hoping that makes sense to somebody.
Struggling quite a bit with google's ruby clients on the basis that everything seems to be translated into objects which are much more complex than the ones required to use the API.
Is there some trick that I'm missing here?
You can monkey-patch this functionality to the version you are using, but I would advise upgrading to google-cloud-speech 0.24.0 or later. With those more current versions you can use Operation#id and Project#operation to accomplish this.
require "google/cloud/speech"
speech = Google::Cloud::Speech.new
audio = speech.audio "path/to/audio.raw",
encoding: :linear16,
language: "en-US",
sample_rate: 16000
op = audio.process
# get the operation's id
id = op.id #=> "1234567890"
# construct a new operation object from the id
op2 = speech.operation id
# verify the jobs are the same
op.id == op2.id #=> true
op2.done? #=> false
op2.wait_until_done!
op2.done? #=> true
results = op2.results
Update Since you can't upgrade, you can monkey-patch this functionality to an older-version using the workaround described in GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-ruby#1214:
require "google/cloud/speech"
# Add monkey-patches
module Google
Module Cloud
Module Speech
class Job
def id
#grpc.name
end
end
class Project
def job id
Job.from_grpc(OpenStruct.new(name: id), speech.service).refresh!
end
end
end
end
end
# Use the new monkey-patched methods
speech = Google::Cloud::Speech.new
audio = speech.audio "path/to/audio.raw",
encoding: :linear16,
language: "en-US",
sample_rate: 16000
job = audio.recognize_job
# get the job's id
id = job.id #=> "1234567890"
# construct a new operation object from the id
job2 = speech.job id
# verify the jobs are the same
job.id == job2.id #=> true
job2.done? #=> false
job2.wait_until_done!
job2.done? #=> true
results = job2.results
Ok. Have a very ugly way of solving the issue.
Get the id of the Operation from the job object
operation_id = job.grpc.grpc_op.name
Get an access token to manually use the RestAPI
json_key_io = StringIO.new(ENV["GOOGLE_CLOUD_SPEECH_JSON_KEY"])
authorisation = Google::Auth::ServiceAccountCredentials.make_creds(
json_key_io:json_key_io,
scope:"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"
)
token = authorisation.fetch_access_token!
Make an api call to retrieve the operation details.
This will return with a "done" => true parameter, once results are in and will display the results. If "done" => true isn't there then you'll have to poll again later until it is.
HTTParty.get(
"https://speech.googleapis.com/v1/operations/#{operation_id}",
headers: {"Authorization" => "Bearer #{token['access_token']}"}
)
There must be a better way of doing that. Seems such an obvious use case for the speech API.
Anyone from google in the house who can explain a much simpler/cleaner way of doing it?
I've made a small CLI script in ruby to manage a small shop for a friend, but then he wanted me to make a GUI for him, so I looked around and found shoes4.
So, I went and download it, created a small test, and run:
./bin/shoes -p swt:jar ./path/to/app.rb
and left it to create the package, then I got a warning from system that I'm running low on disc space, so I went to check the jar file, and it was over 1.5GB and still not done packaging... and the code is very small and basic:
require 'yaml'
Shoes.app do
button "Add client" do
filename = ask_open_file
para File.read(filename)
clients = YAML.load_file(filename)
id = clients[clients.length - 1][0].to_i + 1
name = ask("Enter the client's full name: ")
items = ask("Enter list of items.")
patients[id] = ["ID = "+ id.to_s,"Name = "+ pname,"list of items:\n"+ items]
File.open(filename, 'w') { |f| YAML.dump(clients, f) }
alert ("Added new patient.")
end
button "Exit" do
exit()
end
end
any idea why this small app is more than 1.5GB?? or did I try to package it wrong way??
The packager will include everything in the directory of your shoes script and below.
I have a script, VBS or Ruby, that saves a Word document as 'Filtered HTML', but the encoding parameter is ignored. The HTML file is always encoded in Windows-1252. I'm using Word 2007 SP3 on Windows 7 SP1.
Ruby Example:
require 'win32ole'
word = WIN32OLE.new('Word.Application')
word.visible = false
word_document = word.documents.open('C:\whatever.doc')
word_document.saveas({'FileName' => 'C:\whatever.html', 'FileFormat' => 10, 'Encoding' => 65001})
word_document.close()
word.quit
VBS Example:
Option Explicit
Dim MyWord
Dim MyDoc
Set MyWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
MyWord.Visible = False
Set MyDoc = MyWord.Documents.Open("C:\whatever.doc")
MyDoc.SaveAs "C:\whatever2.html", 10, , , , , , , , , , 65001
MyDoc.Close
MyWord.Quit
Set MyDoc = Nothing
Set MyWord = Nothing
Documentation:
Document.SaveAs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb221597.aspx
msoEncoding values: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa432511(v=office.12).aspx
Any suggestions, how to make Word save the HTML file in UTF-8?
Hi Bo Frederiksen and kardeiz,
I also encountered the problem of "Word Document.SaveAs ignores encoding" today in my "Word 2003 (11.8411.8202) SP3" version.
Luckily I managed to make msoEncodingUTF8(namely, 65001) work in VBA code. However, I have to change the Word document's settings first. Steps are:
1) From Word's 'Tools' menu, choose 'Options'.
2) Then click 'General'.
3) Press the 'Web Options' button.
4) In the popping-up 'Web Options' dialogue, click 'Encoding'.
5) You can find a combobox, now you can change the encoding, for example, from 'GB2312' to 'Unicode (UTF-8)'.
6) Save the changes and try to rerun the VBA code.
I hope my answer can help you. Below is my code.
Public Sub convert2html()
With ActiveDocument.WebOptions
.Encoding = msoEncodingUTF8
End With
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=ActiveDocument.Path & "\" & "file_name.html", FileFormat:=wdFormatFilteredHTML, Encoding:=msoEncodingUTF8
End Sub
Word can't do this as far as I know.
However, you could add the following lines to the end of your Ruby script
text_as_utf8 = File.read('C:\whatever.html').encode('UTF-8')
File.open('C:\whatever.html','wb') {|f| f.print text_as_utf8}
If you have an older version of Ruby, you may need to use Iconv. If you have special characters in 'C:\whatever.html', you'll want to look into your invalid/undefined replacement options.
You'll also probably want to update the charset in the HTML meta tag:
text_as_utf8.gsub!('charset=windows-1252', 'charset=UTF-8')
before you write to the file.
My solution was to open the HTML file using the same character set, as Word used to save it.
I also added a whitelist filter (Sanitize), to clean up the HTML. Further cleaning is done using Nokogiri, which Sanitize also rely on.
require 'sanitize'
# ... add some code converting a Word file to HTML.
# Post export cleanup.
html_file = File.open(html_file_name, "r:windows-1252:utf-8")
html = '<!DOCTYPE html>' + html_file.read()
html_document = Nokogiri::HTML::Document.parse(html)
Sanitize.new(Sanitize::Config::RESTRICTED).clean_node!(html_document)
html_document.css('html').first['lang'] = 'en-US'
html_document.css('meta[name="Generator"]').first.remove()
# ... add more cleaning up of Words HTML noise.
sanitized_html = html_document.to_html({:encoding => 'utf-8', :indent => 0})
# writing output to (new) file
sanitized_html_file_name = word_file_name.sub(/(.*)\..*$/, '\1.html')
File.open(sanitized_html_file_name, 'w:UTF-8') do |f|
f.write sanitized_html
end

In Word 2010 there is a new method, SaveAs2: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff836084(v=office.14).aspx
I haven't tested SaveAs2, since I don't have Word 2010.
I've written a program that measures my typing speed. As part of this, I need it to count how many characters I've typed. I did that with
text = gets.chomp
puts text.length.to_s
Unfortunately, I can't get this working for a long string.
In the SciTE editor, .length doesn't work properly, so instead of giving me the length of the string, it gives me the character count of everything I've typed, including corrected mistakes - if I typo "Hrello" and correct it to "Hello", it'll still return 6 instead of 5.
I googled this, and the suggested fix was to run the program from the command prompt instead. In the command prompt, .length works fine, but it turned out that I can't type in more than 264 characters.
So I tried to put a GUI on the program with Shoes:
Shoes.app :width => 300, :height => 300 do
button "Start." do
text = ask "Type here."
para text.length.to_s
end
end
and discovered that Shoes' input box has an even shorter character limit.
I'm running Windows 7, Ruby 1.9.2, SciTe version 2.29 and Shoes Policeman Revision 1514.
How can I run this program so it'll correctly measure the length of a really long string? I'd be happy with any solution that fixes the command prompt or Shoes character limit, the SciTE bug, or just a suggestion for a different way to execute ruby programs where this will work.
I'd be happy with [...] a suggestion for a different way to execute ruby programs where this will work.
What about a simple web app? Here is a simple Sinatra app that accomplishes exactly what you have asked with a very large character limit.
require 'sinatra'
get '/' do
%{<html>
<body>
<form method="post">
<textarea name="typed"></textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
}
end
post '/' do
"You typed #{params['typed'].length} characters."
end
To run the app you can use something as simple as ruby sinatra_example.rb to use a built-in web server. Or, you can deploy this app using any of several web servers.
If you need timers this should be easy to accomplish through javascript and include in the form submit.
Ok, your question is not accurately titled, but lets see:
There is a very broad number of options of using command prompt, and you should consider running a simple script in ruby on it.
On command line from windows, try typing ruby C:/path_to_folder_program/program.rb
If it won`t execute, you can find on ruby folder some executable called ruby and should, from command prompt on that path, run it like above.
But let me ask you, why ruby? Other more accessible and user-friendly programming languages, like javascript would behave better and would be easier to make your program accessible.
- EDIT -
Seems shoes can handle more chars, use edit_box instead of ask:
In Shoes:
Shoes.app do
#txt = edit_box
button("How many"){ alert(#txt.text.size) }
end
Anyway, before trying shoes I did the exercise with that I knew, here it is:
In javascript:
<script>
function start_stop(){
var txt = document.getElementById('txt');
var btn = document.getElementById('btn');
if( txt.disabled ){
txt.value = '';
txt.disabled = false;
btn.value = 'Stop';
txt.focus();
startTime = new Date().getSeconds();
} else {
txt.disabled = true;
btn.value = 'Start again';
timeNow = new Date().getSeconds();
alert(txt.value.length + " characters in " + (timeNow - startTime) + " seconds.");
}
}
</script>
<input type='button' id='btn' onclick='start_stop()' value='Start'>
<textarea id='txt' rows='8' cols='80' disabled></textarea>
In Ruby using Qt: (replicating the same idea as in the javascript one)
require 'Qt'
class MyWidget < Qt::Widget
slots :start_stop
def initialize
super
setFixedSize(400, 120)
#btn = Qt::PushButton.new("Start")
#txt = Qt::TextEdit.new ; #txt.readOnly = true
vbox = Qt::VBoxLayout.new
vbox.addWidget #btn
vbox.addWidget #txt
setLayout vbox
connect(#btn, SIGNAL("clicked()"), self, SLOT(:start_stop))
end
def start_stop
if #txt.readOnly
#txt.plainText = ''
#txt.readOnly = false
#btn.text = "Stop"
#txt.setFocus
#startTime = Time.now
else
#txt.readOnly = true
#btn.text = "Start again (#{#txt.plainText.size} chars #{(Time.now - #startTime).to_i} in seconds)"
end
end
end
app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
widget = MyWidget.new
widget.show
app.exec
