the release is here with instructions: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds

 If you have a chance to take a look at it, let us know. There have been a few changes since the last release candidate, most of those are bug fixes for installation and additional fixes for tables, you can view the git history here: http://github.com/bret/watir/commits/master/  I'll be updating the release notes for the recent changes before the final release. Please let us know what you think and any troubles you might have.

Cheers,

Charley

After upgrading I am getting the error:

Can you share the code that is failing? Specifically the code on and
around line 7 of
/Users/shlomit/workspaces/trunk/ff_c2p_watir/ff_c2p_test_issues_2_menus_dev.rb

[Shlomit Gazit]

require 'rubygems'
require 'firewatir/container' <-- the problematic line
require 'watir/browser'

[Shlomit Gazit]

Any idea?

I don't know why you are doing "require 'firewatir/container'".

After I installed the gems according to the instructions, the Chinese
characters getting from and posting to web pages are messed up.

[Charley Baker]

Are you still seeing this problem? Is that happening in Firefox or IE?

-c

[jnxgn]

In IE, maybe it is not the problem of watir itself, but something
else.

There is a change in this version for UTF-8: http://github.com/bret/watir/commit/466332be758a43c6045374c6c6ca03827688e151  I'm honestly not sure if that's throwing you off or not. Let me know, I was hoping to release today.

Could you open up a ticket on Jira for this? You can attach images there.
http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR

[jnxgn]

I do not know how to open up a ticket there, so I would not try it.

Since 1.6.5 appears dont deal with chinese characters properly, I
uninstalled it by gem uninstall watir -v 1.6.5, but the watir scripts
would not work. I removed ruby186-27 and reinstalled the ruby 186-27,
when I tried to gem install watir -v 1.6.2, the puter did not let me
go.
Then I installed watir 1.6.5 by gem install watir and gem install
watir -v 1.6.2, rename the folder of watir-1.6.5 to another folder,
and rename the folder of watir-1.6.2 to watir-1.6.5. the watir scripts
worked fine.

It means that something is wrong within watir 1.6.5

It is really not that hard:

Let me know if you you need further help.

I believe that you have a problem, but we'll need more details if would
you would like us to look into it.

[jnxgn]

By saving .rb file as UTF-8, I can put the following code into
function, as per http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Adding+UTF-8+characters+to+text+fields

require 'watir'

ENV["watir_browser"] = "ie"

browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto "www.google.cn"
browser.text_field(:name,'q').value = "考"

But when dealing with file read and write and screen output, Chinese
characters still cannot be handled properly.
