[Selenium and Ruby] Script not run while condition

Hi,

My scenario is:

  1. Access menu

  2. While icon “trash” exist, remove all

  3. If icon not exist, then add a new register

My code is:

require “selenium-webdriver”

require “rspec”

require ‘rspec/expectations’

describe “Current Expense” do

before(:all) do

@driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox

@base_url = "https://mysite.com"

@driver.manage.window.maximize

end

after(:all) do

@driver.quit

end

it “Login in the system” do

@driver.get(@base_url)

@driver.find_element(:id, "user_email").send_keys "myemail@gmail.com"

@driver.find_element(:id, "user_password").send_keys "123456"

@driver.find_element(:name, "commit").click

@driver.find_element(:xpath, "//*[@href='/expenses/current']").click



wait = Selenium::WebDriver::Wait.new(:timeout => 5)

wait.until {@driver.find_element(:id => "expense_merchant")}

end

it “Remove and add new expense” do

begin

while(@driver.find_element(:xpath, “//*[@class=‘i i-trashcan icon’]”).displayed?)

__@driver.find_element(:xpath, “//*[@class=‘i i-trashcan icon’]”).click __

sleep 2

__@driver.find_element(:xpath, “//*[@class=‘btn btn-primary’]”).click __

**end **

rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchElementError 

  @driver.find_element(:id, "expense_merchant").send_keys "Taxi to work" 

  @driver.find_element(:id, "expense_amount").send_keys "50"

  @driver.find_element(:xpath, "//*[@type='submit']").click

  sleep 3

end

end

end

``

I need that work WHILE only in the block in bold in the above code, otherwise runs the rescue

My problem is that WHILE not stay in the loop, it runs only once and then run the rescue. Why?

Cheers,

Rafael
