Peter Jalbert (Work Log)

09/27/2016 15:00-18:00: Set up Staff wiki page, work log page; registered for Slack, Microsoft Remote Desktop; downloaded Selenium on personal computer, read Selenium docs. Created wiki page for Moroccan Web Driver Project.

09/29/2016 15:00-18:00 Re-enroll in Microsoft Remote Desktop with proper authentication, set up Selenium environment and Komodo IDE on MRD, write program using Selenium that goes to a link and opens up the print dialog box. Developed computational recipe for a different approach to the problem.

09/30/2016 12:00-14:00 Selenium program selects view pdf option from the website, and goes to the pdf webpage. Program then switches handle to the new page. CTRL S is sent to the page to launch save dialog window. Text cannot be sent to this window. Brainstorm ways around this issue. Explored Chrome Options for saving automatically without a dialog window. Looking into other libraries besides selenium that may help.

10/2/2016 13:0- 16:00 Moroccan Web Driver projects completed for driving of the Monarchy proposed bills, the House of Representatives proposed bills, and the Ratified bills sites. Begun process of devising a naming system for the files that does not require scraping. Tinkered with naming through regular expression parsing of the URL. Structure for the oral questions and written questions drivers is set up, but need fixes due to the differences in the sites. Fixed bug on McNair wiki for women's biz team where email was plain text instead of an email link. Took a glimpse at Kuwait Parliament website, and it appears to be very different from the Moroccan setup.
