#tableish(row_selector, column_selectors) ⇒ Object

This method returns an Array of Array of String, using CSS3 selectors. This is particularly handy when using Cucumber’s Table#diff! method.

The row_selector argument must be a String, and picks out all the rows from the web page’s DOM. If the number of cells in each row differs, it will be constrained by (or padded with) the number of cells in the first row

The column_selectors argument must be a String or a Proc, picking out cells from each row. If you pass a Proc, it will be yielded an instance of Nokogiri::HTML::Element.

Example with a table

<table id="tools">
  <tr>
    <th>tool</th>
    <th>dude</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>webrat</td>
    <td>bryan</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>cucumber</td>
    <td>aslak</td>
  </tr>
</table>

t = tableish('table#tools tr', 'td,th')

Example with a dl

<dl id="tools">
  <dt>webrat</dt>
  <dd>bryan</dd>
  <dt>cucumber</dt>
  <dd>aslak</dd>
</dl>

t = tableish('dl#tools dt', lambda{|dt| [dt, dt.next.next]})
