Cypress iterate over the table and click on the matching text passed from gherkin file

I am new to cypress and have a scenario where i need to select 'text2' from below table which is under a view, 'text2' is the value from feature file.
<table>
<tr .............>
<td ..........>
<div ....>
<input class= ' ' ..... value='text1'>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr .............>
<td ..........>
<div ....>
<input class= ' ' ..... value='text2'>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
i tried with
cy.get('table tr').find('td').contains('text2').click() its not working,
Any Suggestions would be of great help, Thanks.

Good question, this is actually a bit tricky.
If you follow this Cypress example Find the input[type='submit'] by value,
then your inputs must have the type='submit' attribute for contains() to work.
<div id="main">
<form>
<div>
<label>name</label>
<input name="name" />
</div>
<div>
<label>age</label>
<input name="age" />
</div>
<input type="submit" value="submit the form!" />
</form>
</div>
// yields input[type='submit'] element then clicks it
cy.get('form').contains('submit the form!').click()
However, type='submit' produces buttons on the web page.
If you want input boxes (type='text' which is the default if not specified), you cannot use .contains(). You can access the value of a with .invoke('val').
Sadly however, .invoke('val') does not pinpoint the exact element in the same way .contains() does. It simply gets the text value of the first input and returns the text, not the element (so you can't click it).
The best way I found is to construct a selection function inside a then()
cy.get('table tr td input')
.then($inputs => { // pass in all inputs
return Array.from($inputs) // convert to array
.find(input => input.value === 'text2') // use Array.find() to pick the element
})
.should('have.value', 'text2') // in case 'text2' does not exist
.click()

How about just select the element that contains the test:
cy.contains('text2').click();

Get variable inside certain div with jquery, when there are multiple divs with same id

I'm printing an arraylist with jsp. Each object inside of that arraylist is printed with a loop like this:
<% ArrayList <MessageObject> list = (ArrayList<MessageObject>) request.getAttribute("list"); %>
<%int index = 0;%>
<%for(MessageObject msg :list){
index++;
if(mensaje.getState().compareTo("unread") == 0){%>
<tr data-status="unread" class="unread">
<td>
<a href="javascript:;" class="star">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-star"></i>
</a>
</td>
<td>
<div class="media">
<h4 class="title">
User Identifier
</h4>
</div>
</td>
<td id="unread-id">
<div class="media">
<p class="summary"><% out.print(msg.getMessage());%></p>
<input id="index" type="text" value="<%out.print(index);%>"></input>
</div>
Some of the closing tags and other structures are not written above, in order to make my code easier to read.
Basically that prints me messages from a queue, and its index in the arraylist:
My problem is that I want to save the index value of any of my messages when I click on them.
I tried this:
<script>
$(document).on('click', '#unread-id', function () {
var index = $('#index').val();
$("#setindex").val(index);
});
So I click on any div containing a message, the script is called, but I always get the same index value, 1.
Problem is that having always the same div with the same id name, causes that my script always selects the first div with id unread-id, which is always the first one, so it returns 1.
How can I get the index of the clicked div, if all my container divs have the same id value?

Add a class to your <td id="unread-id"> like row and change your script for the following one. Your td should end up looking like <td class="row">. Also, don't use ids in your inputs, change it to a class, like row-input.
JS
$(document).on('click', '.row', function () {
var index = $(this).find('.row-input').val();
$("#setindex").val(index);
});
JSP Changes
<td id="unread-id"> to <td class="row">
<input id="index" type="text" value="<%out.print(index);%>"></input> to <input class="row-input" type="text" value="<%out.print(index);%>"></input>
Note
You are setting the same id to all your rows. An id must be unique and that is the reason you keep getting the same index.

First - id should be unique in your page. You should really fix this (and if you need some selector to work with multiple elements - you can use classname instead).
However - your code can work (might cause issues with some browsers, so I really advise you to fix this asap):
$(function() {
$(document).on('click', '#unread-id', function () {
console.log($(this).val());
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="unread-id" value="1" /><br />
<input id="unread-id" value="2" /><br />
<input id="unread-id" value="3" /><br />
<input id="unread-id" value="4" /><br />
When inside the click function - the this element is the element you just clicked. You can use that in order to get the value that you need.

Append html string as a table row (<tr>) via javascript-jquery

I'm trying to append an HTML string to
var field = '<input type="text" name="featureName" class="form-control" id="featureName" placeholder="Feature Name" value="">'
var jfield = $(field);
$('#featureContainer').append(jfield);
When the button is clicked it will crete a input field, but if I click again it creates the input in the same row.
How can I make a new row with the input in it?
The following is my HTML code
<tr>
<td id="featureContainer"></td>
</tr>
If I click the button for the second time it creates it in the same row.
I want it to create it in new row.

As we don't know wether trs are wrapped inside table or tbody, .... We have to look for the closest tr and then get its parent then append a new row to that parent.
So, you should replace this:
$('#featureContainer').append(jfield);
with:
$('#featureContainer').closest('tr').parent().append('<tr><td>' + field + '</td></tr>');
NOTE: that inside field you have a static ID which will be on all the inputs you spawn which will be wrong since IDs are unique. So you may want to assign diferent IDs for diferent inputs.

You can just add the html code into field variable, like below:
var field = "<tr><td id="featureContainer"><input type="text" name="featureName" class="form-control" id="featureName" placeholder="Feature Name" value=""></td>
</tr>"
var jfield = $(field);
Assuming there is a button with id = 'add' and a table with id='data', then you can add this after above code:
$('#add').click(function(){
$('#data').append(jfield);
});

Your on the right track. But you don't need the jfield.
this appends the value of 'field' inside the td element:
$('#featureContainer').append(field);
but what you want is to append inside the table. So give your table a id (or the tbody) and do the following:
You need to embed the field inside a <tr><td> section and append that as a whole.
var field = var field = '<tr><td><input type="text" name="featureName" class="form-control" id="featureName" placeholder="Feature Name" value=""></td></tr>';
then in the click event:
$('#tableid').append(field);

Thr issue with your code is that you are trying to append to an element using id selector. Since in a valid html there should be only a single element with an unique id, you will be appending the new element always to the same td#featureContainer.
I will suggest you to change the id to class. To select the td.featureContainer where you need to append the new element, you can check inside the clicked button element event handler and find the td.featureContainer
$(".feature").on("click", function() {
var field = '<input type="text" name="featureName" class="form-control" id="featureName" placeholder="Feature Name" value="">'
var jfield = $(field);
$(this).parent().prev(".featureContainer").append(jfield);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tr>
<td class="featureContainer"></td>
<td>
<input type="button" class="feature" value="click for row one">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="featureContainer"></td>
<td>
<input type="button" class="feature" value="click for row two">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

First the id should be unique in the same document so better to use a common classes instead, then you could use append() to add new row (including tr/td), check the example below.
Hope this helps.
$('#add-row').on('click', function(){
var field = '<input type="text" name="featureName" class="form-control" placeholder="Feature Name" value="">'
$('table').append('<tr><td>'+field+'</td></tr>');
console.log($('table tr').length+' rows');
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Default row</td>
</tr>
</table>
<button id='add-row'>Add row</button>

Javascript Add Row to HTML Table & Increment ID

This is my first post on this site so hopefully you will go easy on me. I'm trying to create an HTML / PHP form and use a small piece of Javascript to add additional rows to a table when a button is clicked and increment the ID for the two fields.
The button works in adding the rows however it doesn't seem to increment the ID, just use the same ID as the previous row. Hopefully someone could help?
$(window).load(function(){
var table = $('#productanddates')[0];
var newIDSuffix = 2;
$(table).delegate('#button2', 'click', function () {
var thisRow = $(this).closest('tr')[0];
var cloned = $(thisRow).clone();
cloned.find('input, select').each(function () {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
id = id.substring(0, id.length - 1) + newIDSuffix;
$(this).attr('id', id);
});
cloned.insertAfter(thisRow).find('input:date').val('');
newIDSuffix++;
});
});

cloned.insertAfter(thisRow).find('input:date').val('');
This line isn't correct. It will throw an invalid selector error.
You need to change it to:
cloned.insertAfter(thisRow).find('input[type="date"]').val('');
jQuery actually does support the :INPUT-TYPE format in selectors, but not the new HTML5 input types (yet): so using input[type="date"] here is the correct way for now to select an element with an HTML5 type. Please notice the quotes around the value. If you want to select an attribute with a certain value.
A selector overview of css selectors here: W3schools.
Because this line is throwing an error your newIDSuffix never gets updated, because the script halts at the line before that because of the script error.
#Charlietfl raises a valid point about learning more about classes and DOM traversal. However that will not fix this code. Or explain why your code isn't working. Nevertheless it's a good tip.

I've gone ahead an taken a stab at a cleaner version of what I think that you are trying to accomplish. I'll walk through the major updates:
Updated the button id and name from "button2" to "button1" - I assumed that you would want to keep the indices in sync across the inputs in each row.
Changing $(window).load(function() { to $("document").ready(function() { - While either will work, the former will wait until all images have finished loading, while the latter while fire once the DOM has completed building. Unless you REALLY want the images to load first, I'd recommend $("document").ready(), for faster triggering of the code.
Removing the [0] references - the primary reason to use [0] after a jQuery selector collection is to reference the DOM version of the selected jQuery element, in order to us a "vanilla" JavaScript method on it. In all cases, you were re-rwapping the variables in $(...), which just converted the DOM element back into a jQuery object, so that extra step was not needed.
Changed the .delegate() method to .on() - as Howard Renollet noted, that is the correct method to use for modern versions of jQuery. Note that the "event" and "target" parameters have swapped places in on, from where they were in delegate.
Changed the event target from #button2 to :button - this will make sure that all of the buttons in the new rows will also allow you to add additional rows, not just the first one.
Switched the clone target from the clicked row to the last row in the table - this will help keep your row numbering consistant and in ascending order. The cloned row will always be the last one, regardless of which one was clicked, and the new row will always be placed at the end, after it.
Changed the indexing to use the last row's index as the base for the new row and use a regular expression to determine it - with the table being ordered now, you can always count on the last row to have the highest index. By using the regular expression /^(.+)(\d+)$/i, you can split up the index value into "everything before the index" and "the index (i.e., on or more numbers, at the end of the value)". Then, you simply increment the index by 1 and reattach it, for the new value. Using the regex approach also allows you to easily adapt, it there ever get to be more than 9 rows (i.e., double-digit indices).
Updated both the id and name attributes for each input - I assumed that you would want the id and name attributes to be the same for each individual element, based on the initial row, and, you were only updating the id in your code, which would have caused problems when sending the data.
Changed $("input:date") to $("input[type='date']) - as Mouser pointed out, this was really the core reason why your code was failing, initially. All of the other changes will help you avoid additional issues in the future or were simply "code quality"-related changes.
So . . . those were the major updates. :) Let me know if I misunderstood what you were trying to do or if you have any questions.
$("document").ready(function() {
$('#productanddates').on('click', ':button', function () {
var lastRow = $(this).closest('table').find("tr:last-child");
var cloned = lastRow.clone();
cloned.find('input, select').each(function () {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var regIdMatch = /^(.+)(\d+)$/;
var aIdParts = id.match(regIdMatch);
var newId = aIdParts[1] + (parseInt(aIdParts[2], 10) + 1);
$(this).attr('id', newId);
$(this).attr('name', newId);
});
cloned.find("input[type='date']").val('');
cloned.insertAfter(lastRow);
});
});

jquery get next input element value in <td>

I have some piece of an html table which reads like
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" class="myclass" name="first_ele[]" value="100" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" class="anotherclass" name="secon_ele[]" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I have a piece of jquery that will get the value of the element that contains class "myclass" on keyup and I am getting the proper value.
I need to get the value of the next input element.
FYI , The table gets rows added dynamically.
My issue is I don't know how to point to the next available input element.
my jquery to get the element which has the class "myclass" is as follows.
$('.tInputd').keyup(function(){
var disc = $(this).val();
});
your help is greatly appreciated.

Try
$('.myclass').on('keyup', function () {
var disc = $(this).closest('td').next().find('input').val();
});
or
$('.myclass').on('keyup', function () {
var disc = $('.anotherclass').val();
});
