Question

I am trying to check if the value in a data table is correct so what I do is select all the rows and check if that certain tr has_content of the object name and value i am checking for. Problem is, I can’t seem to do a return in cucumber:

Then /^I should see "([^"]*)" beside "([^"]*)"$/ do |value, name|
  all("tr").each do |tr|
    if tr.has_content?(value) && tr.has_content?(name)
      assert true and return
    end
  end
  assert false
end

I want something like that. When I find a row that has both the values, then that means it is correct and I should stop the loop and just return true(otherwise it will continue on to the assert false in the end)

How do I go about this?

Answer 1

well it seems like a dirty hack but I just used a variable to check:

Then /^I should see "([^"]*)" beside "([^"]*)"$/ do |value, name|
  has_value_and_name = false
  all("tr").each do |tr|
    if tr.has_content?(value) && tr.has_content?(name)
      has_value_and_name = true
    end
  end
  assert has_value_and_name
end

I’m not sure if it will work in all cases…but if you have better solutions please post it too. thanks!
