[Omaha.pm] Mojo::DOM CSS selectors sure are handy

Really enjoying the Mojo::DOM bit of Mojo, from the Mojolicious family of software, which I’ve never used before today. Drops nicely into Test::WWW::Mechanize :)

The problem: 

For a series of websites, for a series of item numbers, if there’s a “choose your item” table then make sure there are quantity_input fields too:

The solution:

my $mech = Test::WWW::Mechanize->new;
foreach my $base (@base) {
   foreach my $i (@item_nums) {
      $mech->get_ok(item_url($base, $i));
      diag("$i: " . $mech->title);
      my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new($mech->content);
      SKIP: {
         skip "has no 'choose your item' table", 1 unless
            $dom->find('table#chooseYourItem')->size;
         ok($dom->find('input.quantity_input')->size, "has grid qty inputs");
      }
   }
}

Slick! :)

Luis Roman wrote a much longer article about this, if you’re interested.
