Cucumber: How to compare table with colspan using table diff - ruby-on-rails

Hi Im writing a cucumber feature to verify a table using capybara finder(not tableish). I followed dennisreimann tutorial and it works fine when there is no td colspan. It thrown IndexError when td has colspan. Has anyone managed to overcome this problem?I guess colspan breaks the 2d array structure that is passed into the diff! function. Any suggestion or hint would be much appreciated. Thanks
Example of table:
<table id="mytable">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>header</th>
<td colspan="5">Value1</td>
...
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Code example from tutorial:
rows = find("table#mytable").all('tr')
table = rows.map { |r| r.all('th,td').map { |c| c.text.strip } }
expected_table.diff!(table)

Ok So I found the confirmation that it's not working here. The assumption is the number of cell in each row is the same hence colspan breaks it

having problems with ng-repeat

I am working on a Rails 3.2.11 app using angular 1.0.5.
Currently, a user will select a Cycle from a dropdown, and that will return a bunch of JSON from my controller using ng-resource.
Here is the method
$scope.update = function(cycleId) {
Cycle.get({action: cycleId}, function(resource) {
$scope.selectedCycle = resource;
$scope.tasks = resource.tasks;
$scope.newTask = {cycle_id: resource.cycle.id};
});
};
Here is an example of what json my controller is returning, which is 'resource' in above function: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/01ffe5a37e370661f6fb
Basically I am needing to use ng-repeat twice (one of them nested) using angulars ng-repeat, so that I can get the task_type_name in there as a header. I'm getting some weird interesting results. See the shorted code in my view below and the full thing here
<section ng-repeat="(task_type_name,task_type) in tasks ">
<h2>{{task_type_name}}</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Task Name</th>
</tr>
<section id="task-edit">
<tr ng-repeat="task in task_type">
<td>
<%= link_to "{{task.name}}", '', "ng-click"=>"toggleShowHistory(task.id)" %>
</td>
</tr>
</section
</table>
So my is occuring at this part here
<section id="task-edit">
<tr ng-repeat="task in task_type">
If I try to combine that section and tr, OR change tr to ANYTHING but a tr, {{task}} no longer becomes available.
<section class="task-edit" ng-repeat="task in task_type">
{{task}} is available right here
<tr>
{{task}} is not available right here
<td>
{{task}} is not avaiable right here
</td>
</tr>
</section>
I tested the same concept on the first loop, and it seems to be fine on that loop just not the second, nested loop.
I'm assuming it has something to do with the scope. But i'm just not getting it.
Also, if you have any tips, i'm very new to angular and would love them.
I created a demo, and I am not seeing any issue. Please check your data source and make sure you plug in the tasks value of the json.
You need to change the nested section to tbody.

parsing the id value by giving a known td?

With the help of firePath, I got this:
.//*[#id='#table-row-51535240d7037e70b9000062']/td[1]
Parot of My HTML looks like this:
<table class="table table-bordered table-striped">
<tbody>
<tr>
<tr>
<tr id="#table-row-51535240d7037e70b9000062"> #this is the id that i want to get
<td> 54 </td> #this is the td that i know
<td>
<td>
<td>Open</td>
<td/>
What i really want to do here is, by giving the td value (54), I want to be able to get the id (parse the id), any hints how can i achieve that?
Thanks in advance.
PS: sorry for my English, and for my lack of knowledge :)
First of all your HTML is invalid (because it contains nested <tr> nodes). Nokogiri may be able to parse it, but if you can you should fix it before that.
You can fetch that id by the following ruby code:
doc.at_xpath("//td[contains(text(), '54')]/..")['id']
//td[contains(text(), '54')] will grab all the <td> nodes which contain 54, /.. will go to their parents.
Document#at_xpath will fetch only the first matching item
['id'] will get the attribute of the matching node.
Using jquery
$(function(){
// (i dont know if you have id for that td or not, it will be more easy if u do have id for that td)
console.log($('table tbody tr td:first').closest('tr').attr('id')); // you can remove :first if you want to.
});
Oops, I misread your question, and one more thing, there is a problem in your tr tag.

Hpple XPath query issue on IOS

I have the following HTML snippet:
<divv id="items">
<trr>
<td>
<p>Cars</p>
<a>Toyota</a>
<a>Opel</a>
<a>Audi</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Planes</p>
<a>A320</a>
<a>B787</a>
<a>B767</a>
</td>
</tr>
<div/>
What I want is to create a XPath query so I can retrieve only the Cars.
Currently I am using this: //div[#id='items']/tr/td. But with this I get also the Plane items. I do not know how to test for the 'p' tag.
Anyone can help me ?
Thanks.
//div[#id='items']/tr/td[p='Cars']
The last predicate tests the existence of a <p> child element with Cars text content and thus filters out the <td> with <p>Planes</p>.
If picking the first group is enough, then you can use:
//div[#id='items']/tr/td[1]

jQuery selector for finding the <th> elements from _Layout

I have the following table structure inside a view which gets displayed in the _Layout view in place of #RenderBody
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>first</th>
<th>second</th>
<th>third</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1st</td>
<td>2nd</td>
<td>3rd</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
In my _Layout page, I want to apply the contextMenu event to the th elements, however, being a beginner, I'm having a hard time figuring the selector for the same.
Some combinations that I've tried -
I have a reference to my table in a variable called oTable
oTable.$('tr th').contextMenu ....
oTable.$('thead tr th').contextMenu ....
$('table.tableID th').contextMenu ....
None of them are working. Any suggestions?
If you simply want to select ALL of your th elements then you don't need anything more complicated than this:
$('th').contextMenu ....
If your table has an id associated to it then the following will allow you to target just that table:
$('#yourid th')

What's the Razor syntax to create a table in VB?

This should not be as hard as it seems to be, but I can't for the life of me create a table in VB using Razor syntax. The following does not work (despite what some examples would lead me to believe):
<table>
#Code
For Each item in Model
#<tr>
#<td>#item.DocumentType</td>
</tr>
Next
End Code
</table>
This gives me the following error:
Parser Error Message: "<" is not valid at the start of a code block.
Only identifiers, keywords, comments, and "(" are valid.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Try removing the # before the <td>:
<table>
#Code
For Each item in Model
#<tr>
<td>#item.DocumentType</td>
</tr>
Next
End Code
</table>
or a bit shorter:
<table>
#For Each item in Model
#<tr>
<td>#item.DocumentType</td>
</tr>
Next
</table>
Once again you must remove the # before the <td>.
<table>
#For Each item in Model
#<tr><td>#item.DocumentType</td></tr>
Next
</table>
See if this code snippet does what you need it to do. This example was taken from the ASP Forums. I think the #<tr> may be what is throwing the loop off, but I have not written VB Razor (only the ASPX version of VB). Also, I just found some additional looping examples on MSDN
