Question

Using Rubygems and Watir

I’m unable to select options from a second drop down.
here is the code of the 2 drop downs

<select class="LocalUtility" name="Accounts[0][Local_Utility]" id="">
<select class="LocalUtility" name="Accounts[1][Local_Utility]" id="">

I’m able to select options from the 1st by using

browser.select_list(:class, 'LocalUtility').set ('value')

I tried to use index for the 2nd drop down (tried with 1,2)

browser.select_list(:index, 1).set ('value') 

And I cannot use the name because Ruby is throwing errors due to what I’m suspecting is that Ruby does not like the brackets [1][Local_Utility]

browser.select_list(:name 'Accounts[1][Local_Utility]').set ('value')

Is there a possible solution to this?

Answer 1

Try

browser.select_list(:class => "LocalUtility", :index => 1).select("value")

to set the value in the second select list.

I’m surprised that the name doesn’t work though. There’s a potential typo in what you’ve supplied us with

Try

browser.select_list(:name => "Accounts[1][Local_Utility]").select("value")
