Hi,

All I want it to read this YAML as a ruby hash and place into the
below methods. Could someone help?

test: tiscali
url: http://tiscali3-test.v...
register:
first_name: aidy
surname: smith
email: 'testautomated6@googlemail.com'
password: password
registration: KJHDF123

tiscali= SmokeTest.new("Tiscali", "http://tiscali3-test.v...")
tiscali.register('aidy', 'smith, 'testautomated@googlemail.com',
'password', 'KJHDF123')

require 'yaml'

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)
data = YAML.load_file(filename)
obj = new(data['test'], data['url'])
obj.register(data['first_name'], data['surname'], data['email'],
data['password'], data['registration'])
obj
end

tiscali = SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file('tiscali.yml')

Brilliant thanks.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for you help but I am having trouble losing the hash value when
calling the method

one.rb

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)
data = YAML.load_file(filename)
obj = new(data['test'], data['url'])
obj.register(data['first_name'], data['surname'], data['email'],
data['password'], data['registration'])
end

SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file('C:\test.yaml')

two.rb

def register_an_account(first_name, last_name, email, password,
registration_code)
enter_first_name(first_name)

..........
end

def enter_first_name(first_name)
$browser.text_field(:id, /firstname/).set(first_name)
$test_log.test_results "comment", "first name entered of:
#{first_name}"
end

Cheers

Aidy

I don't know what you mean by that.

This is incorrect. You are missing the last line from the method I
originally wrote, which is just obj. If you don't have that, the
create_from_yaml method returns whatever obj.register returns, rather than
the created object itself. This may be the problem you are having.

Hi,

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)
data = YAML.load_file(filename)
obj = new(data['test'], data['url'])
obj.register(data['first_name'], data['surname'], data['email'],
data['password'], data['registration'])
obj
end

SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file('C:\tiscali.yml')

When I get to obj.register(data['first_name'], I get a nil object.

My yaml is

test: tiscali
url: http://tiscali3-test.v...
register:
first_name: aidy
surname: smith
email: 'testautomated6@googlemail.com'
password: password
registration: KJHDF123

Thanks

Aidy

The problem is I am trying to use nested mapping. I have commented out
register.

Ah, yes, that would do it. Sorry, I missed that.

There are two things I do not undersand

1) why you have added a method to this class:

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)

2. And how can you get away with instantiating here.

obj = new(data['test'], data['url'])

Well, it's sort of a constructor built on top of the standard constructor
(new). It certainly belongs to the class, since it is building an object of
that class, and because it is a method of that class object, it can call
new without fully qualifying it (i.e. SmokeTest.new).

Remember that there is nothing terribly special about the new method. I
believe it does nothing more than call alloc (to get an uninitialized
object of the class) then call initialize on that object. (I'm sure I will
be corrected if there is more to it than that.) Likewise, there
is nothing special about the initialize function. By convention (and
default implementation), it is called by the class new method, but it's
just a method like any other.

All I did was write a new constructor for your class, wrapping the default
constructor.

Hi All (greg)

I just can't get the code to iterate through both docs.

def SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file(filename)
require 'yaml'
log = File.open(filename)
#yp = YAML::load_documents(log) { |data|
YAML::each_document(log) { |data|
obj = new(data['test'], data['url'])
obj.register(data['first_name'], data['surname'], data['email'],
data['password'], data['registration'])
obj.login_to_site(data['email'], data['password'])
obj.search_for_film(data['search_term'],
data['expected_search_result'])
obj
}
end

SmokeTest.create_from_yaml_file('C:\tiscali.yaml')

test: tiscali
url: http://tiscali3-test.v...
first_name: aidy
surname: lewis
email: testautomated6@googlemail.com
password: password
registration: KJHDF123
search_term: Alien
expected_search_result: Alien 3

test: Vizumi
url: http://vizumi3-test.v...
first_name: aidy
surname: lewis
email: testautomated6@googlemail.com
password: password
registration: KJHDF123
search_term: Alien
expected_search_result: Alien 3
