I’m trying to build a HTML page that has a table with rows of information (test cases, failed, warning, total # of tests)
I want each row in the Test Cases column to be a link to another page.
As you see in the image below, my goal is for Test 1 to be a link.
Below is the code that I wrote to build what you see in the image.
Thanks.
import bs4
f = open("practice.html", 'w')
html = """<html>
<body>
<table class="details" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2" style="width:95%">
</table>
</body>
</html>"""
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")
table = soup.find('table')
tr = bs4.Tag(table, name='tr')
HTMLColumns = ["Test Cases", "Failed", "Warning", "Total number of tests"]
for title in HTMLColumns: # Add titles to each column
td = bs4.Tag(tr, name='td')
td.insert(0, title)
td.attrs['style'] = 'background-color: #D6FCE9; font-weight: bold;'
tr.append(td)
table.append(tr)
results = ["Test 1", str(5), str(3), str(6)]
tr = bs4.Tag(table, name='tr')
for index, r in enumerate(results): # loop through whole list of issue tuples, and create rows
td = bs4.Tag(tr, name='td')
td.attrs['style'] = 'background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold;'
td.string = str(r)
tr.append(td)
table.append(tr)
f.write(soup.prettify())
f.close()
Below is code for creating a link that I took from BeautifulSoup documentation:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup("<b></b>", "lxml")
original_tag = soup.b
new_tag = soup.new_tag("a", href="http://www.example.com")
original_tag.append(new_tag)
original_tag
# <b><a href="http://www.example.com"></a></b>
new_tag.string = "Link text."
original_tag
# <b><a href="http://www.example.com">Link text.</a></b>
f = open("practice.html", 'w')
f.write(soup.prettify())
f.close()

Answer
# This is updated code
# You just need to add: a = bs4.Tag(td, name='a') to you'r code
# Then you need to fill it:
# if index == 0:
# a.attrs[''] = 'a href="http://www.yahoo.com"'
# a.string = r
# td.append(a)
