I'll be working on it. It will take some time may be couple of days.

Thanks,

Looks like jssh finally died. "...it's not something we care about" (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586869#c3)

[Angrez Singh]

Yeah looks like ... lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best :). Need to find other way to interact with Firefox.

Webdriver?

There are a number of other plugins which do basically the same thing a jssh, which I found researching alternatives. I never got around to doing anything with any of them, but I think it's a good time for jssh to die, compiling it for every version on every platform is a huge pain. 

not that I know whether any of these still work in ff4.0, of course, but something seems bound to.

I'll try other alternatives.

[Charley Baker]

+1, this is exactly why we ended up getting involved in the webdriver project. It's a chore to compile the extension for all available platforms. In checking the alternatives, some of which Ethan mentioned, webdriver seemed the most reasonable approach.  

[Super Kevy]

OK assuming JSSH getting depreciated. I'll need to review webdriver
can you link me to that information.
I assume the site will have some simple examples for launching each
browser

Yes when JSSH fails its kind of a pain or just plain computer magic to
get it working again.

Do you have DevKit (http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/) installed?

Win2k partial resolution (reproduced hopefully without typo's)
The problem appeared to be in the rake gem remote install and ffi

1. Run Cleanup and Update
> gem cleanup
> gem update --system

2. Manually download rake-0.8.7.gem to the local machine and install
> gem install rake-0.8.7.gem
- 1 gem successfully installed
3. Manually download ffi-0.6.3.gem and try to install it (it failed)
> gem install ffi-0.6.3.gem
- Error: Failed to build gem native extension
- nmake is not recogized.....
- gem files will remain installed in c:/ruby/lib........
4. Install the webdriver

5. Test it: in firefox -- works
require "rubygems"
require "watir-webdriver"
browser=Watir::Browser.new(:firefox)
browser.goto("http://www.google.com")
sleep 3
browser.close

6. Test it in IE6 - Fail
require "rubygems"
require "watir-webdriver"
browser=Watir::Browser.new(:ie)
browser.goto("http://www.google.com")
sleep 3
browser.close

Errors are thrown about ffi-0.6.3
> nmake is not recogized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

> downloaded nmake from Microsoft and installed but I'm still
having problems with ffi. building
I'll research a little more and update the thread when I get full
success or NOT

Now for the fun, knowing the ffi error issue exists
7. Test in FF round 2 - Pass
require "rubygems"
require "watir"
Watir::Browser.default = 'firefox'
browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto("http://www.google.com")
sleep 3
browser.close

8. Test in IE6 round 2 - Pass
require "rubygems"
require "watir"
Watir::Browser.default = 'ie'
browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto("http://www.google.com")
sleep 3
browser.close


At least I have a method to run both without JSSH

Do you have devkit installed? I am not sure it is supported on windows 2000.

So, webdriver gem can drive firefox but not IE, and watir/firewatir gem can drive both firefox and IE?

Yes that is correct.

Webkit requirements says XP OS, but I went ahead and did fresh
installs of ruby/watir/webdriver and devkit in the W2k system and
retested. Here's a thread.... showing the devkit install and
subsequent launch of ie6 using watir-webdriver.
