Cannot read span elements - ruby

Hi since I did gem install watir watir-classic my scripts are not reading anymore the span elements. Can you please help me to fix this problem
here my example
Source
Rented
<SPAN class="displayData" style="padding-left:2px; width: 15;"><span name="tab4RateInfoForm.vehicleGroup"/>F</span></SPAN>
My code
carGroup=browser.span(:name => 'tab4RateInfoForm.vehicleGroup').text

Solution 1: Use css locator
You will have to use a css-locator (or xpath):
carGroup = browser.span(:css, 'span[name="tab4RateInfoForm.vehicleGroup"]').text
Solution 2: Monkey patch
Alternatively, if you have a lot of legacy scripts that use the name attribute, you can monkey patch Watir to have the name method for all elements (or specific element if desired).
Add the following to wherever you require watir:
Watir::IE.new(true)
module Watir
class Element
def name
return self.attribute_value('name')
end
end
end
Your original method should now work.

Looks like span elements can no longer be accessed via name attribute.
Try this (use generic element instead of span):
carGroup=browser.element(:name => 'tab4RateInfoForm.vehicleGroup').text

ArgumentError when accessing pageobject widget

class MainTabsWidget < PageObject::Elements::UnorderedList
include PageObject
include PageObject::PageFactory
link(:first_link, :text => 'First')
link(:second_link, :text => 'Second')
link(:third_link, :text => 'Third')
link(:category_link, :text => 'Category')
link(:subcat1_link, :text => 'Subcat1')
link(:subcat2_link, :text => 'Subcat2')

items = tab_item.split /\//
items.each do |item|
case item

first_link
when 'Second'
second_link
when 'Third'
third_link
when 'Category'
category_link
when 'Subcat1'
subcat1_link
when 'Subcat2'
subcat2_link
end
end
end
end
PageObject.register_widget :main_menu, MainTabsWidget , :ul
I have a page called landing page that uses the widget in the following manner....
class LandingPage
include PageObject
include PageObject::PageFactory
main_menu(:menu_tabs, :id => 'mainMenu')
def select_menu_item(item)
menu_tabs_element.go_to_tab_item item
end
end
This actually did work at one point. If you pass 'First' for select_menu_item, it will click to the page specified by first_link. If you specify 'Category/Subcat1' it will click on the category link and then subcat1.
Howerver, something changed. We are transition from watir-webdriver gem to watir (6.10) gem, and now the code gets the argument exeption
'ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1..2)'
This occurs when menu_tabs_element gets referenced in any way. I've run out of ideas to remedy this.

It is not clear to me which change in Watir would cause this issue. It seems more likely a change in Page-Object. At any rate, here are 2 solutions. Note that this was tested with Page-Object v 2.2.4.
Using Widgets
As pointed out by Alexis in Page-Object Issue 263, including page object accessor methods in widgets is not as straight forward as one would expect. In the MainTabsWidget class, instead of include PageObject, you need to do:
extend PageObject::Accessors # to get the accessor methods
attr_reader :platform # the accessor methods don't work without a platform
With this change, your page object should work.
Using Page Section
Page-Object has a page section feature that might better suit your needs. It simplifies some of the code (ie address the above issue).
You define a class to represent your main tabs section. Note that you do not need to register the section or have the multi-line setup as with Widgets.
class MainTabs
include PageObject
include PageObject::PageFactory
link(:first_link, :text => 'First')
link(:second_link, :text => 'Second')
link(:third_link, :text => 'Third')
link(:category_link, :text => 'Category')
link(:subcat1_link, :text => 'Subcat1')
link(:subcat2_link, :text => 'Subcat2')
def select_menu_item(tab_item)
items = tab_item.split /\//
items.each do |item|
case item
when 'First'
first_link
when 'Second'
second_link
when 'Third'
third_link
when 'Category'
category_link
when 'Subcat1'
subcat1_link
when 'Subcat2'
subcat2_link
end
end
end
end
The page object can simply become:
class LandingPage
include PageObject
include PageObject::PageFactory
page_section(:menu_tabs, MainTabs, :id => 'mainMenu')
end
The clicking of the menu would change to:
page.menu_tabs.select_menu_item('First')
(or you could continue to define a #select_menu_item method in LandingPage to avoid downstream changes)

Celluloid 0.17.3 giving unexpected "undefined method" error

I have started using Celluloid gem this morning for that first time. I am following this Railscasts tutorial and trying to figure things out.
I have a class called "SomeClass" and it has only one method. Here is the code:
require 'celluloid'
class SomeClass
include Celluloid
def initialize(name)
#name = name
end
def assholify()
puts "#{#name} has become an ASSHOLE."
end
end
When I create new instances of the class and call its method (with a bang i.e. "assholify!"), I am getting the undefined method 'assholify!', error. But Celluloid is supposed to trigger the method asynchronously when it is called with a bang. So here is how I am calling the method:
names = ['John', 'Tom', 'Harry']
names.each do |name|
n = SomeClass.new name
n.assholify!
end
Here is the full backtrace of the error:
I, [2016-09-09T11:28:02.488618 #3682] INFO -- : Celluloid 0.17.3 is running in BACKPORTED mode. [ http://git.io/vJf3J ]

from some_class.rb:16:in `each'

Why am I getting this error? Is it the right way to call the function? Also how do I get rid of Celluloid 0.17.3 is running in BACKPORTED mode. warning?
The undefined method error occurred because actor methods are not called with a bang in the recent versions of celluloid gem. Instead you call the method like this: n.async.assholify. So here is what the code should look like:
names = ['John', 'Tom', 'Harry']
names.each do |name|
n = SomeClass.new name
n.async.assholify # Instead of "n.assholify!"
end
For "Celluloid 0.17.0 is running in BACKPORTED mode" warning, take a look at this wiki. Backported Mode is the default, for a limited time. If you use require 'celluloid/current' instead of require 'celluloid', you should not see this warning.

How to define Ruby Test::Unit testcase with `must`

I had a test case of the following form:
require 'test/unit'
class SomeTests < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_should_do_action
assert true
end
end
and have re-written it using must as suggested in the book A Test::Unit Trick to Know About:
require 'test/unit'
class SomeTests < Test::Unit::TestCase
must "do action" do
assert true
end
end
And when I run it, I get an undefined method 'must' error shown as follows:
SomeTests.rb:3:in `<class:SomeTests>': undefined method `must' for SomeTests:Class (NoMethodError) from
SomeTests.rb:2:in `<top (required)>' from

Tasks: TOP => default => test (See full trace by running task with --trace)
I thought that must might be a part of minitest, so I required 'minitest/unit' instead, but I still get an error. I also assume that must keyword isn't part of rspec, which I'm not using yet.
How do I get this to work properly?
It looks like that method is not provided out of the box, but was developed by a third party. You need to add code described here.

Sequel gem: Handling invalid date values gracefully

I'm a ruby noob and I'm trying to process some blog posts using Sequel and the data_objects adapter:
DB = Sequel.connect('do:mysql://user:pass#localhost/database')
db[posts_query].each do |post|
puts post
end
But I get Sequel::InvalidValue exception, complaining about the date column:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/time.rb:202:in `local': ArgumentError: argument out of range (Sequel::InvalidValue)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/time.rb:202:in `make_time'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/time.rb:271:in `parse'
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/sequel-3.42.0/lib/sequel/core.rb:295:in `string_to_datetime'
I tried to catch the exception:
begin
db[posts_query].each do |post|
puts post
end
rescue Sequel::InvalidValue => e
puts e.inspect
end
but that doesn't help much.
How can I find out which row has the incorrect value?
Also, is there a way to do this iteration, such that I can catch the exception but continue to loop over the remaining rows?
Update:
I switched to the mysql2 adapter and now I can at least see the invalid date:
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/sequel-3.42.0/lib/sequel/adapters/mysql2.rb:154:in `each': Mysql2::Error: Invalid date: 2008-04-00 00:00:15 (Sequel::DatabaseError)

from wordpress_importer.rb:112:in `process'
from wordpress_importer.rb:308:in `<main>'
Can you post more of the backtrace? You need to see what is calling string_to_datetime.
Also, I would recommend against using the do/mysql adapter unless you have specific needs that require it. Use the mysql or mysql2 adapter instead. If the error is being caused by bogus datetimes in your MySQL database, then you may want to use the mysql2 adapter or use the mysql adapter and set DB.convert_invalid_date_time = nil.

Which is using the rss bit of Ruby and trying to write out the RSS file. Error comes from file write line:
...
version = "2.0"
destination = "appreviews_"+ARGV[0]+".xml"
puts destination
content = RSS::Maker.make(version) do |m|
m.items.do_sort = true
# a simple command-line presentation
software.keys.sort.each do |software_key|
m.channel.title = "App Store Reviews for ",software_key
m.channel.link = "http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=",ARGV[1],"&mt=8" # need to put in link to itunes
m.channel.description = "App Store Reviews for ",software_key
...
File.open(destination,"w") do |f|
f.write(content)
end
This is based on the iPhone app review scaper code:
link text
With some basic RSS feed stuff thrown in
link text
Thanks in advance for any tips/pointers.

The error message is about String not having a method "have_required_elements?".
According to http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9/classes/RSS/Element.html RSS::Element has a method with that name. You probably call a method with a parameter of wrong type at some point.
This line looks suspicious:
m.channel.title = "App Store Reviews for ",software_key
Are you trying to concatenate two strings? In that case you should use a plus operation instead of a comma. The comma here implicitly generates an array.
