[wtr-general] Re: Capturing data within an xml

[winstan]

Hi Guys,

Another question for you bunch as you seem to be the most helpful out
there (have posted on the comp.lang.ruby group with no response).

I have been trying to make requests to the webserver via SOAP adapting
an example i had found on another site. Am i looking at the right
thing for what i want?

This is what i am trying to complete
1: Making requests and receiving responses from 4 different web
services (v1, v2, v3, v4)
2: v2 & v4 web services require a client certificate
3: Phase one I want to make a series of requests to different methods
and do a diff on the response and an xml saved locally to ensure the
structure hasn’t changed and if it has, what’s different.

Am I going down the right path using SOAP? As I said I have already
started using an example that I found on the net… if you care to take
a look at the issues I have been having with that please take a look
at the post on the comp.lang.ruby group I made:
http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_thread/thread/ad39567636611a6a?hl=en#

Thanks again guys!

[wtr-general] Re: Capturing data within an xml

[Bret Pettichord]

I was testing an rss feed and used Mechanize + Hpricot to do so. I got 
the url from the application using Watir and then passed it to Mechanize 
to get the page and then used Hpricot to validate it.

Hi,

Its been quite some time, since i've started using Watir. Its awesome. I've
used Hpricot to test xmls. It worked out well for me. Please refer:

Hi Bret,

No i havent used Mechanize. Nor have i heard of it to be honest.
Before i jump into it and start playing around with it, i would like
to ask have you used it in the means in which im trying to access the
xml defined above?

Have you considered using Mechanize instead of Watir? That's what I've 
used when I've had to test XML.

[wtr-general] Re: Capturing data within an xml

[Richard Lawrence]

My guess at what's going on is that View Source gives you the source
XML, but IE#html gives you the XML transformed into HTML for pretty
viewing in the browser. Not sure how you get at the untransformed XML
with Watir. Perhaps someone knows of a way to get IE not to transform
the XML (or to replace the built-in XSL with your own, which could be
an identify transformation). Sorry I can't be more help.

[wtr-general] Re: Capturing data within an xml

[winstan]

Hello Again,

After playing around with rexml with some of the URL’s provided in
this thread and other sites I have found I have established that you
are in fact correct and that rexml would be the way to go. However, I
am still making requests and receiving responses to and from the WS
via the UI, and as such I am in need of a little more help/advice with
this.

After making the request with specific attributes a response is served
up from the WS and is opened in another IE window. I can attach to the
new window with out a problem but from that point on I am unsure as to
how to proceed with the use of rexml. Bellow is an example of some
thing I tried but I assume because I am making the.

it 'Attaching to the new window and confirming that there was a VALID
response from the web server' do
  @b2 = Watir::IE.attach(:url, ‘http://privateurl.asmx/
wsresponse')
  @b2.maximize
xml = @b2.html
  doc = REXML::Document.new(xml)
  WID = REXML::XPath.first(doc.root, '//WID/text()')
  WID == (data['WIDTestField'])

The reason I attempted “xml = @b2.html” is because when I view the
source of the window that contains the response from the WS, it just
shows the XML. Needless to say that didn’t work, and I didn’t really
expect it to however I thought I would give it a shot. I then went to
irb on the command line and had a look at what �...@b2.html” actually
looked like. I was expecting to see the xml without formatting however
there was a lot more to it than what the page source showed. This
would explain the error message in my respec results.html:

[wtr-general] Re: Capturing data within an xml

[Richard Lawrence]

You really don't want to be reinventing XML parsing (badly) with
string substitution or regular expressions. Given a string with your
XML in it, the REXML code to get the values you want would look
something like the following. You'll have to use something like
Net::Http to actually make the web service call to get the XML string.
There are some decent examples here:
http://rubylearning.com/blog/2008/04/25/yahoo-web-services-in-ruby/.

As Alex recommended, play around in irb with this to get a feel for it.


require 'rexml/document'

xml = 'FooBar'

doc = REXML::Document.new(xml)

firstName = REXML::XPath.first(doc.root, '//firstName/text()')
lastName = REXML::XPath.first(doc.root, '//lastName/text()')

[wtr-general] Re: Capturing data within an xml

[Alex Collins]

A useful general principle if you are wondering if something will work  
is to try it. In Ruby, start IRB (type irb at the command line) then  
type your ruby code. Irb will show you the results after each line.  
You do not need $ signs (ruby global variable) but you must certainly  
quote your strings. However your code will not work as there is no -  
method for a string.

Instead, you could use the sub or gsub methods:

a = "aba"
a.gsub 'a', 'c'
=> "cbc"

In the simple case, it sounds like you want to use a regular  
expression (regexp) to do pattern recognition. Results of matching are  
stores in MatchData objects. Something like:

re = /(.*)<\pattern/>/
matchdata = string.match(re)
puts matchdata.captures

However, if you want to do more than this you would be better using  
REXML  as Richard suggested. Alternatively, use a tool designed for  
testing XML webservices eg SOAPUI. Watir is designed for testing  
websites.

You might want to read a ruby tutorial though to get a better idea of  
how to use ruby.

Hope this helps.

[winstan]

Would i be able to do some thing like this:

$a = TESTA
$b = 
$c = 
$d = a - b
$e = d - c

which in turn would make $e "TESTA"?

[wtr-general] Re: Capturing data within an xml

[winstan]

Hi Richard,

To be quite honest with you here I am not entirely sure as to why the
business wants automation around the accessing the WS with a browser.
I’m relatively new here and have been set the task in my early days to
spike various automation tools and from what I have read and heard
ruby/watir is the way to go. So here I am.

None the less, no matter in which process I decide to go down
(retrieving the XML via the GUI or REXML) I will still need to
establish a way to identify the line from the XML I require removing
the XML tags from the line and storing the data as a variable. I have
been looking around all over the net but I'm unsure of what the words
are that I need to Google on, so I’m going around in circles.

>From my limited understanding I would assume it be possible for me to
identify the line in which I wish to set a variable to, but removing
the  &  from that line so that the variable is
just set to TESTA... am I wrong?

Thanks for your help

[wtr-general] Re: Capturing data within an xml

[Richard Lawrence]

Why are you accessing the web service using Watir and IE? Will end
users of the web service access it with a browser? If not, and if
you're just using the web service to get data to use in other GUI
tests, you might find something like Net::Http and REXML to be more
appropriate for this part of your script.

Richard
