Finding text and using its location in Marathon Testing Tool/JRuby

Question

Using Marathon to test a java application, I have a handful of rows and I want to commit some operations on a specific row that has certain text in one of its fields.

How would I go about searching for it and then selecting it to use it in Marathon or JRuby?

For example, I want to find the text "HERE" in a row, right click that row, and click one of the options provided.

Answer 1

There are two ways you can do this.

1. You can fall back to WebDriver interfaces and use find_elements.

   table = get_component('oscarTable')
   cells = table.find_elements(:css, '.::all-cells[text="102 Dalmatians"]')
   cells.each { |c| puts c.text }
   

2. Use text property and access the cell directly

   cell = get_component('oscarTable', { :text => '102 Dalmatians' })
   puts cell.text
   

In (2) you can use select instead of get_component to set the value of the cell (if the cell is editable etc.)
