How to delete specific table data from a table?

[watir webdriver]

Hi,

In my application I've a table with 40 rows.How do I delete some specific <td> named as "default","tags","city","organic" in  that table? All the deletes links are images with the same 
src name.Plz find the attachment of the table row.

My step def:
Then(/^I click on all the delete rules on the setup page$/) do
words = ["default", "tags","organic","city"]
@current_page.delete_rules(:words => words)

end

In my ruby class I've added delete_rules method as below :
        def delete_rules(words)
        image_elements(:src => "/tracker/images/skin2/bin.png").click
          end

Problem here is its deleting the first row in the table..not the rows which I've mentioned in the array.

My HTML is :
<tr>

<td>

<a href="edit.page?id=83">tags</a>

</td>

<td>

<a href="delete.page?did=83">

<img title="Delete" src="/tracker/images/skin2/bin.png">

</a>

<a href="edit.page?id=83">

<a href="activate.page?id=83">

</td>

<td> </td>
<tr>

<td>

<a href="edit.page?id=83">default</a>

</td>

<td>

<a href="delete.page?did=83">

<img title="Delete" src="/tracker/images/skin2/bin.png">

</a>

<a href="edit.page?id=83">

<a href="activate.page?id=83">

</td>

<td> </td>

<tr>

<td>

<a href="edit.page?id=83">organic</a>

</td>

<td>

<a href="delete.page?did=83">

<img title="Delete" src="/tracker/images/skin2/bin.png">

</a>

<a href="edit.page?id=83">

<a href="activate.page?id=83">

</td>

<td> </td>
<tr>

<td>

<a href="edit.page?id=83">city</a>

</td>

<td>

<a href="delete.page?did=83">

<img title="Delete" src="/tracker/images/skin2/bin.png">

</a>

<a href="edit.page?id=83">

<a href="activate.page?id=83">

</td>

<td> </td>

Your help is much more appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I think you could do this

link_href = @browser.a(:text=>'tags_rule').attribute_value("href")

link_href_arr = link_href.split("?")

@browser.a(:href=>"delete.page?#{hr_arr[hr_arr.count - 1]}")

This should work.

Thanks Joe for ur reply...but its throwing error :

Used the below code in my step defs :

link_href = @browser.a(:text=>'tags_rule').attribute_value("href")
    link_href_arr = link_href.split("?")

    @browser.a(:href=>"delete.page?#{href_arr[href_arr.count - 1]}")
Error :
      undefined local variable or method `href_arr' for #<Object:0x2a5f940> (NameError).

Thanks.

Sorry,

Typo

Replace this:

@browser.a(:href=>"delete.page?#{href_arr[href_arr.count - 1]}")

with:

@browser.a(:href=>"delete.page?#{link_href_arr[link_href_arr.count - 1]}")

After looking at what I sent you its missing something still.  Did you add a click method to the end of line '@browser.a(:href=>"delete.page?#{link_href_arr[link_href_arr.count - 1]}")'?  If not it won't do anything.

@browser.a(:href=>"delete.page?#{link_href_arr[link_href_arr.count - 1]}").click

HI Joe,

Still its not working....the href for the deletion is <a href="delete.page?did=83">
but the code which I've is looking for :href=>"delete.page?id=83"
Is there any way to to get the :href=>"delete.page?did=83"

Error :
      unable to locate element, using {:href=>"delete.page?id=83", :tag_name=>"a"} (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)

Thanks in-advance.

hi,

you could do this

Original:

@browser.a(:href=>"delete.page?#{link_href_arr[link_href_arr.count - 1]}").click

Modified:

@browser.a(:href=>"delete.page?d#{link_href_arr[link_href_arr.count - 1]}").click

I added a 'd' in the href element.

Your other options are to the developers make the href the same for edit and delete.  The other options is to use index.  Can be a lot of work.  Try the modified line above.
