• DBI stands for Database independent interface for Ruby
• DBI provides an abstraction layer between the Ruby code and the underlying database.
• You can use databases like Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL.
• DBI defines set of methods, variables, and conventions that provide a consistent database interface, independent of the actual database being used.
• From cmd (or terminal)
–  sudo gem install dbi
• This will install the DBI module

MySQL driver installation
• Ruby DBI uses two layers
– The database interface layer
• Database independent layer
– The database driver layer
• Database dependent layer
• Install MySQL database driver
– gem install dbd-mysql (Ignore any Documentation errors)

Initialization:

require “mysql”
Connect to
mysql = Mysql.init()
database
mysql.connect(‘localhost’,'root’,'port’)
mysql.select_db(‘qa_Info’)

Next,

Define the table fields using Ruby Access Database:

mysql.query(“CREATE TABLE
Execute Query to
`qa_info`.`test_results` (`test_id` INTEGER  create a table
UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`result` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`total_Time` INTEGER(4) UNSIGNED NOT
NULL, `total_test_num` INTEGER(4)
Select the
UNSIGNED NOT NULL,  `test_pass_num`  database Schema
INTEGER(4) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`command_pass_num` INTEGER(4)
UNSIGNED NOT NULL, `command_fail_num`
INTEGER(4) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`command_error_num` INTEGER(4)
UNSIGNED NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY
(`test_id`) )”)

Still with me?

Let’s insert a few rows to begin.

mysql.query(‘insert into test_results
values(1,”passed”,73,2,2,0,5,0)’)
mysql.query(‘insert into test_results
values(2,”failed”,73,2,2,0,5,0)’)
mysql.query(‘insert into test_results
values(3,”failed”,73,2,2,0,5,0)’)

res = mysql.query(“select test_id,result
from test_results”)

Now, Let’s make an array.

while row = res.fetch_hash do
printf “%s, %s\n”, row["test_id"],
row["result"]
end
puts “Number of rows returned:
#{res.num_rows}”
res.free
mysql.close()

Finally, Execute Result_table.rb to see the results.

Python:

defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakDefaultLanguage F23DB5B2-7D08-11D9-A709-000D93B6E43C

user_pref(“extensions.checkCompatibility”, false);
user_pref(“extensions.checkUpdateSecurity”, false);

Initially my problem was that I did not allow enough for the page to load before using JS to enter info in to the box. To rectify this, I used time.sleep(5).

Next the issue arose that enterring characters via JS did not register with the character counting mechanism. Since i’m on a time based budget, I can’t spend too much time on this but I figure using os (python) or keypress/keydown in JS will do the trick.

This is the code to use when encountering a TinyMCE box.

First use mceFocus to get the id of the text field you wish to alter, in this case id=”body”:

Next, set the text by using mceInsertContent:

In Selenium IDE:

So ‘body text’ will be inserted into the textarea with id ‘body’.

In Python:

sel.run_script(“tinyMCE.execCommand(‘mceFocus’,false,’body’);tinyMCE.execCommand(‘mceInsertContent’, false, ‘body text’);”)
