Hi, This is my first post, I wanted to ask a quick question about "Bad Form" -- rather, am I doing something with Mechanise I shouldn''t be doing? Here''s the long and short of it - I am using Mechanize with Cucumber and RSpec to test a *ahem* Perl XML web service.. talk about technology soup, but I have it working quite well. I have an example project on GitHub that

hi, i''m just starting to work with this incredible tool... but i got a first problem with the login process i''m logging on my app like this : ------ @agent = WWW::Mechanize.new { |a| a.log = Logger.new("mech.log") } @agent.user_agent_alias = ''Mac Safari'' @page = @agent.get("http://myappAdress/") @form = @page.forms.first

I''m trying to use mechanize against a site that has four fields in the form. However, those four fields have to be filled in order. So putting something in field one, populates the second field drop down. So I''m thinking that I''ll probably have to call the page multiple times? What sort of things should I be doing to figure out how to interact with this page.

Hi, I''m working to scrape and save some ebooks. Mechanize has been wonderful so far. The link I''m having trouble with is this one. http://www.webscription.net/SendZip.aspx?SKU=0671578499&ProductID=379&format=H When I click that in the browser it saves it to a file named H_1632.zip. How do I get that name from the page. I suspect to save this to a file I would just do

Hello, when trying to access a certain HTML-frame, I get: "in `request'': Unhandled response (WWW::Mechanize::ResponseCodeError)" and the page returns: "400 Bad Request" * Why? * How to solve this? With browser, it works. In the logs below, I marked 4 lines with "***", where I see possible differences in the URI. But I don''t know, if this is

I''m working through an idea for a db-backed cache for Mechanize#get(). The idea is to use a Mechanize::Agent#post_connect_hook to cached any fetch data, and create a subclass of Mechanize::Agent#get() that checks the cache before calling super. I want to store the un-parsed (raw) page in the db, and call Mechanize#parse when there''s a cache hit, something along these lines:

I''ve been trying to get a couple of web automation tools going today and having a hard time. Seems like everything I try is outdated and won''t run on my environment. Mechanize seemed like a good one but it doesn''t want to run: require ''rubygems'' require ''open-uri'' require ''mechanize'' agent = Mechanize.new

Trying to submit a form is resulting in the following error: >> page = agent.submit(f, f.buttons.first) query: "action=start&quick=Y&clientApp=0&clientID=MCO" Net::HTTP::Post: /dealerApply/controller.jsp using cookie: JSESSIONID=GJ4NCvGJDTlrvrKsLw17hZ3FnlXFdVkvB5hh1jLkHKcH4Tn27371!-538794652 request-header: accept-language => en-us,en;q0.5 request-header: connection

Hello, I am using Mechanize to post a form to a website. When I do this by hand in my browser the response takes about 35s to come back (it''s a long page full of tables and graphics). When I do this with Mechanize, the server starts to respond and then appears to hang. The obvious conclusion is that my code is wrong but I am reasonably sure that I haven''t altered it

I''m new to rspec and looking for way to test a validation I added to a model. The test checks to see that if field1 has a value then field2 must be nil and vice versa. ------------------------------- When I did the rspec_scaffold it generated one test which worked before :each do @valid_attributes = { :field1 = "value for field1" :field2 = "value for

Hello all, I have a syntax question. How does one refer to a field brought in via a has_one/belongs_to relationship in a form helper? Basically, I have two models: class Resource < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :other_thing end class OtherThing < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :resource end It has the normal id-resource_id foreign key relationship. OtherThing has two fields, plus the

Hi all, My current project brought forth the snippet below, which modifies in each row of a data frame a certain field depending on another field in the same row. Dealing with data of some 30000 entries this works, but is horribly slow. Can anyone show this newbie how to do this properly (faster ;0)? for (i in 1:nrow(dataframe)){ if

Hi, How can I use a substring match as a condition in a subset command? Sth like this: subset(input, field1=="blah1" & field2=="blah2") # but now with substring match in field2 subset(input, field1=="blah1" & field3 *substringmatch* "blah3") I've tried with gsub, but it won't work: subset(input, field1=="blah1" &

Hello, I have a question for you. In my application, I want to make sure that the database doesn''t have any NULLs in fields. I can''t use validates_presence_of, because it will puke if there''s an empty string ("") So... is there an EASY way to check if a list of fields is null? Right now, I''m doing: def validate() [...]

Hi, I''ve got an interesting one here :) I have a form with three fields : serial_number initial surname now, if serial_number is entered, it must be between 1 and 64000. If it''s filled in, the other two fields must be blank. If serial_number is left blank then the other two boxes must be filled. Any suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
