Lorraine, Actually, I wrote a page object library that can do this sort of thing. Assuming that you have defined a page object for the Client page, and you are on the page for a particular client, you could just do something like this to get the client guid:
site.page.arguments[:client] Library's here and it's packaged as a gem (gem install site-object): https://github.com/jfitisoff/site-object I didn't mention it before because you said you're new to this and were looking for a simple answer. Feel free to ping me if you decide to try it and need any help. On Wednesday, June 17, 2015 at 7:20:04 AM UTC-7, johnssn wrote: > > Use a regular expression.
