I am a member of a QA/testing team for a software company in NYC. We
have decided recently to begin the development of scripting tools to
automate repetitive tasks used during our testing cycles. We have
decided to use Ruby. Although we have admired Ruby from afar for some
time now we have yet to actually make use of it.
So far we are coding simple scripts to create user accounts for testing;
this activity always absorbs incredible amounts of time and interrupts
our testing procedures, hence the need for automation.
What we have created in Ruby the last few days has been very exciting
and it convinces us of the power and beauty of this language.
Working remotely from home today on this project I have been attempting
to access the backend Admin controls for the company/site, that is, I'm
developing a script to automate this process in order for "users" to be
created for our upcoming testing cycle purposes.
This process is straight-foward: logging in via a two-step process to
ensure security. The script is simple and works up unto the point that
I must actually select a link to continue further (after log-in).
The following code is an anonymous version of the actual code I am using
(real links, passwords, etc altered:
----------------
Line 14 of the above code is where I am stuck; I have tried many
variations of activating the link ('OA Management' being the string
available in the code I'm referencing). I have researched the different
methods all day but with no results.
----------------
The following snippet is source code indicating the link(last <li>
line):

Thank-you in advance for any help or hints.

Matty D.
