Cucumber and Capybara , How to Submit a Form Without a Button


Sometimes We run into  a problem where we need to submit a form after entering data but there is no specific button or link available on which we can perform operation to submit the form.so I am going to suggest few solutions today for these situations in few different ways so that any one can use the solution depending on his specific situation.
Where we can hit "Enter" to submit the form:

 We can access the selenium send_keys method to invoke a return event like
 find_field('field2').native.send_key(:enter)

 Using  java script:
 When /^I submit the form$/ do
  page.evaluate_script("document.forms[0].submit()")
end

 Without Using java Script:
     we can handle this directly using Racktest(Capybara's default driver)
  When /^I submit the "([^\"]*)" form$/ do |form_id|
    element = find_by_id(form_id)
    Capybara::RackTest::Form.new(page.driver, element.native).submit :name => nil
  end

Where we cannot hit "Enter" to submit :
  We can click on an element via Capybara::Element.click.  by adding the following code   to click on the divs.
 When /^(?:|I )click within "([^"]*)"$/ do |selector|
  find(selector).click
end

SoapUI Settings     In SoapUI, choose File > Preferences, then select "Proxy Settings". Enter Host "localhost" and port "8081".     Use SoapUI as normal. It will s

How to Uncheck All checkboxes Using Cucumber/Capybara

Sometimes while automating we need to have  all checkboxes unchecked as a precondition or baseline state in a given page.We can do that in Cucumber/Capybara using following code: all ( 'input[type=checkbox]' ). each do | checkbox | if checkbox . checked ? then checkbox . click end end Similar logic can be developed for other types of objects if required or better object type and locator detail can be passed as parameters to achieve higher level of abstraction which will work for any type of objects.
