I am using Selenium IDE to automate a few scenarios for a Content Management System. Selenium is able to insert a table (similar to the table in MS word) but not able to click into the rows and columns to insert data. On selecting the step and clicking on "Find Target in page", the expected column is highlighted. Tried using Type and Sendkeys to pass data, neither works. Not sure how to get over this roadblock. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm using the Selenium IDE on chrome (version 3.4.4)
I want to test if clicking a button adds a new row to a table.
I thought I'd just:
count the rows of the table before clicking (store the number in a variable)
clicking the button
count the rows of the table again and store this number in a different variable
Check if the second variable is one higher than the first
How do I do this?
If there are better solutions to this problem I'll be happy to hear them.
I have a pile of tabular data I need to paste onto a Confluence web page. The usual mechanisms are NOT working properly for me.
What "usual mechanisms?"
Copy the data to Excel then copy / paste into Confluence.
Format the content using wiki markup, meaning:
double bars before / between / after the column header cells
single bars before / between / after the data cells
and paste that into the Wiki page.
The first option gets me a table, but it doesn't show the grid lines, and the sorting doesn't work.
The second option plops the markup into the page, but does nothing with it. If I go to the first line and hit <return> after the last bar, it turns the line into a table with a header row (since it has double-bars). If I go to the second line and hit <return> after the last bar, it creates A SEPARATE TABLE with the data in it. I can go to the first table (created from the header row), tell Confluence to add a row below, then copy the data from the second table into that second row and it will do it. But I will need to repeat that sequence for EACH ROW OF DATA.
I've just lived with in this in the past. When there's only a few rows, no biggie. But I'm trying to create a table with 200+ rows. That sequence just isn't acceptable for this amount of work.
Suggestions on how to get this working?
I went a circuitous route to accomplish this:
Made a text file with my information and tab-separated the fields
Pasted this data in to Google Sheets
Copied the cells from Google Sheets
Pasted them in to the a pre-made table in Confluence
It was still faster than writing each field manually.
To insert large tables with the second option you need to first hit Ctrl + Shift + D and then paste in the table in wiki markup form.
Wrap the table in any macros required if you know the macro name and parms. This can be a serious PITA to do after a table has been created in the Confluence 5 GUI.
Click Insert and the resulting table will be converted to the new wiki format into the page.
According to this link, I'd assume it's a bug with the version of Confluence, at least as far as the sorting goes.
Looking through the Confluence JIRA, there appear to have been several issues with copy/pasting from Excel over the development. At least there's a workaround:
Workaround:
Go to the editor again
Cut out the (unsortable) table
Paste it again
Mark the first row as Header
Save the page
-> Now the table is sortable
If that does not work, please install the The confluence source editor, then edit the page to:
Remove the row " "
Replace all "td" tag to "th" tag for the first row of the table. For example, the column name "Number" will need to change from "Number" to "Number".
My Excel has 10 K rows and some rows are with background color. To maintain the Cell background color I followed this steps
Saved the Excel File as HTML File
Open the HTML code, Copy the Complete TABLE (HTML CODE)
In Confluence page Insert HTML Macro
Insert your codes and see the cell color will maintain.
In ireport when clicking on preview, and you have parameters, you'll get a parameter box where you put a certain value to get specific record(s).Now i am trying to put specific values in the parameter box, so that the user would choose between it.
The same goal as in this so question : Loading promt box with parameters in iReport
However i want to do it without using Jasper Server. Is it possible to achieve this only from within IReport Designer?
You can do this,right click on the input control and select to add the local input control and provide id and name for the input control
Under the input control details select single select list of values if you have the list of values with you or if you want to add the data of a column as drill down select single select select query and extract that field.
This will help you to drill down the data.
Thanks and Regards

I'm pretty sure you can not do this in iReport preview. Have no clue what #Megha is refereeing to....
You can provide default value for your parameter through the <defaultValueExpression> tag and decide if you wan't it to prompt or not to prompt with the isForPrompting attribute.
Why can't we have select list, well I guess iReport is a tool for developers, so the preview is only to test the report. For customers jasper soft have developed the jasper report server.
And remember you can always develop your own interface (in swing or on the web)
Is there any alternative way to copy the data from Excel sheet and paste it into a table using Oracle SQL Developer!?
For now I am using (PL/SQL Developer) by writing (for update) at the end of the select statement, Ex:
Select * from ABD
for update
Then paste the columns from Excel to the table...
Regards
Adel
It's not exactly copy and paste but you can import data from Excel using Oracle SQL Developer.
Navigate to the table you want to import the data into and click on the Data tab.
After clicking on the data tab you should notice a drop down that says Actions...
Click Actions... and select the bottom option Import Data...
Then just follow the wizard to select the correct sheet, and columns that you want to import.
EDIT : To view the data tab :
Select the SCHEMA where your table is created.(Choose from the Connections tab on the left pane).
Right click on the SCHEMA and choose SCHEMA BROWSER.
Select your table from the list (by giving your schema).
Now you will see the DATA tab.
Click on Actions and Import Data...
None of these options show up for me. The way to paste data from Excel is as follows:
Add an extra column to the left of your spreadsheet data (if you
don't have row numbers showing in PL/SQL Developer you may not have
to have an extra empty column to the left).
Copy the rows of data from your spreadsheet including the empty
column.
In PL/SQL Developer, open your table in edit mode. You can
right-click the table name in the object browser and select Edit Data
or write your own select statement that includes the rowid and click
the lock icon. Be sure your columns are ordered the same as in your
spreadsheet.
Here's the part that took me forever to figure out: click on the left
side of the first empty row to highlight it. It will not work if you
don't have the first empty row highlighted.
Paste as usual using Ctrl+V or right-click Paste.
I couldn't find this info anywhere when I needed it, so I wanted to be sure to post it.
You may directly right-click on the table name - that also shows the "Import Data.." option.Then you can follow few simple steps & succeed.
Do anyone know how to import a new table with data from excel?
Click on "Tables" in "Connections" window, choose "Import data ...", follow the wizard and you will be asked for name for new table.
For PLSQL version 9.0.0.1601
From the context menu of the Table, choose "Edit Data"
Insert or edit the data
Post change
I'm working with SSRS for the first time. When adding a table to a report, is there any way to add all fields of a dataset to it at once or does it have to be done individually? Drag & drop, insert column -> right is a pain when there are a lot of fields that are being displayed.
It's a bit of a workaround, but the "Add new report" wizard automatically creates a table with the specified columns and groups from your given dataset. I don't believe there's a way to trigger this functionality from within an existing report, but you could create a "sacrificial" report to get what you're looking for - run through the wizard, generate the table, and copy / paste it into your original report. As long as your datasets are the same, it should work just fine...
Hope this helps.
I have a similar problem as the op and am new to SSRS/BIDS. And, I am updating a previously created report which (for me) is too complex to just quickly re-create using the "wizard generation" as the datasource is a web service (with code-generated web service parameters, lots of calc'd datasource fields, etc). It is faster to just copy the .rdl, delete all, and create the table manually.
I thought I would add that (only a little better than op's method, but nonetheless it is time-saving) you can just drag and drop to populate columns w/o the "right click > insert column > right". Just drag the dataset field to the place you want it in the table and BIDS/SSRS will automatically insert a new column. It also helps to drag the latter columns first (i.e. always inserting a previous column) so you don't have to scroll to the right all the time.
I was looking for the similar thing and I have figured this out. Open your report in Report Builder 3.0 which is a free BI tool by Microsoft. Go to Insert > Table wizzard. Then just follow the wizard steps to generate auto columns. Save and reopen the file in your visual studio, file will refresh itself.

#Kevin Fisher actually there is no need a workaround. There is way to do this out of the box of Report Builder 3. Open your existing favorite report template. on the tool bar, click on INSERT tab, look for TABLE icon, click on the down-ward arrow at the bottom of the TABLE icon, then choose TABLE WIZARD. Then I guess you know what to do from here. -hope this help.
I agree that there is no way to bring all of the columns over from the data set to a table easily. But I came up with a method that helped me:
Insert a blank table (this usually gives you 3 columns). Then insert columns to the right of the table (right click, Insert Column, To the Right), as many times as you need in order for it to equal the number of columns in your data set.
Once you have all the blank columns created in your table, click inside a table cell box and use the drop-down to select the field. This has the added benefit of allowing you to get the fields in the correct order, since I've noticed that the field names in the dataset don't always appear in the same order as the SQL stored proc output.
