Question

On the web page you can filter what applications are displayed based on the status (Active, Inactive, or Deleted).

When the “Show All” is selected, then applications with a status of Active, Inactive, or Deleted should be displayed.

I’ve got it to loop through the text of the cells using this code:

     $ie.table.each do | row | 
          row.each do | cell | 
            puts cell.text() 
             # Passes if the text is either Active, Inactive or Deleted.
           end 
         end

If the text for the the rows it loops through is either Active, Inactive, or Deleted the test should pass.

Answer 1

It isn’t clear by your example what is the cells and where the information is for the status. Since that is the case I will assume you can access the status in row[0] and the filter text is in a var called filter and you intend to skip displaying the whole row.

So with that assumption, in my head your data looks like:

Status   | Name
--------------------
Active   | Foo App
Inactive | Bar App
Active   | Baz App
Deleted  | Blam App

And if that be the case:

$ie.table.each do | row |
  if filter == 'All'
    next unless %w(Active Inactive Deleted).include?(row[0])
  else
    next unless row[0] == filter
  end

  row.each do | cell | 
    puts cell.text()
  end 
end

And if the assumption is made that there can be no status other than (Active Inactive Deleted) then we can simplify it:

$ie.table.each do | row |
  unless filter == 'All'
    next unless row[0] == filter
  end

  row.each do | cell | 
    puts cell.text()
  end 
end
