硒黄瓜哈希（红宝石）

Question

I am writing some testing features, I started with a table, then I changed data in the table and got a copy and wanted to start population a form from the hash, here is my code :

 Given /^I start with this table$/ do |table|
  @hashes = []
  table.hashes.each do |hash|
  Faker::Config.locale = 'en-US'
    hash['fname'] = "Joe"
  hash['lname'] = "Doe"

    @hashes << hash
  end
end

and the code that will populate the data form from the hash :

Then /^I can populate full name from the transformed data$/ do
  @hashes.each do |hash|
    puts hash
  end

  fname = $driver.find_element(:id,"applicant_first_name")
  fname.send_keys(@hashes['fname'])   <-- LINE 55

  lname = $driver.find_element(:id,"applicant_last_name")
  lname.send_keys(@hashes['lname'])

end

But I got this error :

no implicit conversion of String into Integer (TypeError) ./features/step_definitions/custom_steps.rb:55:in []' ./features/step_definitions/custom_steps.rb:55:in /^I can populate full name from the transformed data$/' features/brc_epic03_emp_F_bulk_pp.feature:23:in `Then I can populate full name from the transformed data'

Thanks,

It would be much easier to see the cause of the problem if you narrow it down to a Minimal , Complete and Verifiable example.

The problem is that you are defining:

@hashes = [
  # ...
  { 
    # ...
    'fname' => "Joe",
    # ...
  },
  # ...
]

and then trying to access the value "Joe" via:

@hashes['fname']

This does not work, because @hashes is actually an Array . The error message:

no implicit conversion of String into Integer (TypeError) 

is saying that you can only look up an array element by its Integer index.

There are various ways you could fix this, such as explicitly using the first hash of user properties in your list. (I'd also recommend using a more descriptive variable name than @hashes , but that's a separate issue!)

Then /^I can populate full name from the transformed data$/ do
  @hashes.each do |hash|
    puts hash
  end

  fname = $driver.find_element(:id,"applicant_first_name")
  fname.send_keys(@hashes.first['fname']) # <-- !!!

  lname = $driver.find_element(:id,"applicant_last_name")
  lname.send_keys(@hashes.first['lname']) # <-- !!!
end
