HELP Watir-Webdriver/Cucumber with Rufus/Lua
Usman Hussain
Sorry to disturbe you,
But I came across Rufus/Lua and have been having some trouble with it.
Due to there not being alot of information available about Lua ont he
net I thought I would drop you an email.
I am currently using watir-webdriver with Cucumber in Ruby.
So I have created a framework based around these. But One of the tests
that is becoming more needed at my work place is the need to Automate
Flash/Flex.
I have managed this by using Lua.
BUT I am now having trouble integrating it into my framework.
Is there anyway I can get this to work along with Watir? So I can just
paste in my Lua script into my Ruby script and it will run the test?
Any help would be much appreciated. If you need any more information
regarding the tools I am using then please do not hesitate to ask me.
Sorry I might also add that I am using a MAC and have follwed all the
instructions on:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2006-09/msg00894.html
In my env.rb file I am requiring the following:
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir-webdriver'
require 'rspec'
require 'rufus/lua'
and am still not getting anywhere.
I keep on getting the following error:
no library specified (LoadError)

Hello Usman,
I don't know, I've never used Watir.

What do
find /usr -name liblua*
and
find /opt -name liblua*
yield on your system ?
Where is your liblua.dylib ?
Did you follow the instructions at
https://github.com/jmettraux/rufus-lua/blob/master/README.rdoc
?
---8<---
make
make macosx # or make linux ...
make -C src liblua.dylib
sudo cp src/liblua.dylib /usr/local/lib/
sudo make macosx install

Hello Usman,
does it throw an error or does it throw the same error your reported in your initial email ?

I am repeating myself, but :
what do
� find /usr -name liblua*
and
� find /opt -name liblua*
yield on your system ?
Where is your liblua.dylib ?
Did you follow the instructions at
�https://github.com/jmettraux/rufus-lua/blob/master/README.rdoc

Hello Usman,
try to do
export LUA_LIB=/Users/usman.hussain/Desktop/ruby-lua/lua-5.1.4/src/liblua.dylib
before running your ruby program.
I hope it will help.
