Rational Functional Tester, how to dynamically identify links in an HTML table?












0















I have HTML that looks something like this:



<table summary="History of xxxxxx"><thead><tr><th>Date Started</th><th>Date Updated</th><th>Yyyyyyyy</th><th>Summary Report</th>  

<th>Full Report</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr class="odd"><td>05/29/2012</td><td>05/29/2012</td>  

<td><a href="/xxxxx/yyyyy/traversal/e3230f12-dea6-4fd9-b4ed-dd60deb65aa3">Complete  </a>  

<a href="/xxxxx/yyyyy/delete">Delete</a></td><td/><td/></tr><tr class="even"><td>05/29/2012</td>  

<td>05/29/2012</td><td/><td><a href="/xxxxx/summaryreport/view/280e30fe-f7dc-4099-b83e-28e02d64f68f">View</a>  

<a href="/xxxxx/summaryreport/save/280e30fe-f7dc-4099-b83e-28e02d64f68f">Save</a>  

<a href="/xxxxx/summaryreport/print/280e30fe-f7dc-4099-b83e-28e02d64f68f">Print</a></td><td>  

<a href="/xxxxx/fullreport/view/280e30fe-f7dc-4099-b83e-28e02d64f68f">View</a>  

<a href="/xxxxx/fullreport/save/280e30fe-f7dc-4099-b83e-28e02d64f68f">Save</a>  

<a href="/xxxxx/fullreport/print/280e30fe-f7dc-4099-b83e-28e02d64f68f">Print</a></td></tr></tbody></table>


I can print the content of the table using the following script fragment:



ITestDataTable kontents = (ITestDataTable) table_dateStartedDateUpdatedAs().getTestData("contentswithchildren");



System.out.println (table_dateStartedDateUpdatedAs().getTestDataTypes());



System.out.println ("Total Rows in table : " + kontents.getRowCount());

System.out.println ("Total Cols in table : " + kontents.getColumnCount());



for (int row=0; row < kontents.getRowCount();++row)

{

for (int col=0; col < kontents.getColumnCount();++col)

{

    System.out.println("contents("+row+","+col+")=""+kontents.getCell(row,col)+""");

}

}


But how can I get the hyperlinks into their own variables? The three hyperlinks, View Save Print, are all in one cell.

          Use the find() function.



          Take a look at the searching for test objects article in the online RFT help.



          Sample code for your table would look something like the following:



          TestObject foundSaveLinks = table_dateStartedDateUpdatedAs().find(atDescendant(".tag", "A", ".text", "Save"));
          
GuiTestObject saveLink = (GuiTestObject)foundSaveLinks[0];
          
saveLink.Click();


          You can make this more complex, for example if you need to limit the search/find to a specific table cell. My sample above will find all of the "Save" links that are descendants of the table.

          Fotorealismo

          Image
          Guerrino Boatto, Venice's St. Barnaba Church and canal Il fotorealismo è un genere di pittura basato sull'uso di una o più fotografie dalle quali l'artista prende le informazioni necessarie da utilizzare poi nel processo della creazione dell'opera, in genere ad olio o ad acrilico, al fine di avere un aspetto finale il più simile possibile alla fotografia.
