I've used it with 1.9.2. Are you having a specific problem?

Hi,

 

I need to fill out a multi-page form using Mechanize and am trying to figure
out how to step through the pages to get back the final results.  

 

I've tried a few different variations, but can't get any of them to work.
This is the most recent variation.  The first submit works well, but then I
am unable to figure out how to access and submit the form on the following
page.  Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

 

 

agent.get(data) do |data|

  data.form('Page1') do |data_type|

    data_type.field("A").option_with(:value => '1').select

    # pp data_type # this verifies that the select option is selected

  end.submit

 

   # ??? The previous submit presents me with another form and I need to
select more variables and hit submit again.

  

end

 

Thanks,

Cindy

Cindy,

You should be able to pass the returned page from the form into a variable
and manipulate that:


agent.get(data) do |data|

  next_form = data.form('Page1') do |data_type|

    data_type.field("A").option_with(:value => '1').select
  end.submit

  next_form.form('Page2') ...
end

Hi, thanks so much for your reply.

I did something like that at one point in my experimentation, but got stuck
on how to submit the next form?  This is where it broke down for me.  And do
I need to do another call to agent.get with subsequent pages?

Thanks!
Cindy

Cindy,

Ah, to chain them all together:
agent.get(data) do |data|
  next_form = data.form('Page1') do |data_type|
    data_type.field("A").option_with(:value => '1').select
  end.submit
  third_form = next_form.form('Page2') do |data_type|
    data_type.field("B").option_with(:value => '2').select
  end.submit
  fourth_form = third_form.form('Page3') do |data_type|
    data_type.field("C").option_with(:value => '3').select
  end.submit
  final_page = fourth_form.form('Page4') do |data_type|
    data_type.field("D").option_with(:value => '4').select
  end.submit
  # from here on you can use final_page.methods (links, images, forms, ...)
end

Each call to submit, get, etc. returns a Mechanize::Page, which comes with
all kinds of cool methods. You can read the documentation on all of them
here: http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/mechanize/Mechanize/Page.html.

Thanks for your help.  I was really close.  It's working great now.
