Using Watir-Webdriver, how can I automate the output of all the elements in an array in a totally random order. My array has 9 items which are pulled from a CMS and the items are pulled into a list which is numbered 1,2,3,4,…. but in a complete random order each time.
Unfortunately I do not have an example or screenshot to share and do not expect a full solution to my issue. If someone can just point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.
This is really more of a Ruby question that Watir-webdriver. Speaking purely to the question as answered (which frankly I think is masking a larger challenge you are facing) I would do the following
1) shuffle the array. the
.shufflemethod has been built in from at least ruby 1.8.7 onward.2) then use either
.eachor.each_with_indexto traverse the now randomized array
