I am a newbie to this tool. I have installed ruby (ruby182-15.exe) and
then ran the watir install (gem install watir). I then went to run a
simple example which I downloaded and it crashes. The reason I used
182-15 is that I read it was the only version which supports web modal
dialog pages see http://wtr.rubyforge.org/install.html

 ..."However, if you wish to use Watir’s support for the IE
showModalDialog then you must use Ruby 1.8.2-15 (or 1.8.2-14) and not
a more recent version. This dialog is the one that is posted with the
showModalDialog() JavaScript command and is supported with Watir’s
ie.modal_dialog command.."

Below is the crash dump. Now if someone else can suggest a better
alternative I am happy to try it.

Thanks

Marco

Last week I set up a new environment using these instructions.

http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Setting+up+Eclipse+for+Ruby

The only change needed for this document is the line for eclipse is missing
the executable portion for start eclipse.

After installation I ran the all_tests.rb.  Over 1500 assertions passed,
there were 7 fails, and I think 2 errors.  I believe the fails and errors
are documented as open issues or concerns.  The unit tests in my opinion are
the best indicator that your environment is set up correctly.

I have found in the past that I had issues installing under the programs
files directory.

Perhaps uninstall and follow the instructions above, installing to an apps
folder.

Good luck!

Carl

I notice the instructions are for watir 1.4 but when I perform a gem
install of watir (gem install watir) it installs 1.5.x. Could my
problem be related to the watir version?

Thanks
Marco

I have WATIR installed in two different environments.  Here are the
specifics:

Windows XP Professional - version 2002 - SP 2
Ruby 1.8.2 2004-12-25 [i386-mswin32]
WATIR 1.3.1 (This interesting since I thought I had installed 1.4 stable
release)

Windows 2000 5.0.0.2195 SP4
Ruby 185-24
WATIR-1[1].5.1.1230.gem

Perhaps a comparison to your environments will shed some light.

Cheers,

Carl

To append why I am asking - you get dialog handling support in Watir 1.5 and
Ruby 1.8.5 that is very good.
