Running Lebowski on IE9

[Santhakumar]

Hi,

I am using Windows 7 OS with IE9 browser. I want to test my
application in IE9, Below is the set up that I have done for the same:

Installed ruby-1.9.2p0 and all gems required for lebowski.

In test_script.rb file:
App = MainApplication.new \
:app_root_path => "demo/beta",
:app_server_host => "162.12.25.36",
:app_server_port => "4020",
:app_name => "DemoApp",
:browser => :iexploreproxy

Step-1: lebowski-start-server -forcedBrowserMode *iexploreproxy
Step-2: lebowski-spec -f n test_script.rb

Here I get the application is loaded but the test cases are not
getting executed. Also I am getting an error in command prompt on
executing the test script that says "`rescue in start': Error
connecting to selenium server:"

Any idea on what I am doing wrong here. Kindly share your thoughts.

Thanks in advance,
Santhakumar

Is there any more information when the error is displayed?

I admit I haven't yet tried Lebowski against IE9, just IE7 and IE8. If
you can provide me some more details I can take a deeper look in the
issue your running into.

Hi,

I have a similar issue when I am trying to test my application on IE9.
Following are the details:
OS: Windows 7
Browser: IE9

test_script.rb file:
App = MainApplication.new \
:app_root_path => "demo/beta",
:app_server_host => "162.12.25.36",
:app_server_port => "4020",
:app_name => "DemoApp",
:browser => :iexploreproxy

Step1: lebowski-start-server -forcedBrowserMode *iexploreproxy
Step2: lebowski-spec -f n test_script.rb

The App is getting loaded but no tests are getting performed.

After around four mins, an error is shown in the command prompt as
follows:

On trying to run the script again, a similar error is shown, as
follows:

Please suggest a solution for the same.

Based on the feedback about IE 9, I'm going to look into this.
Apologies to everyone who are currently trying to run Lebowski against
IE 9 and have been running into this issue.

I finally had a chance to look into the issue with Lebowski and IE9.
Basically the problem boils down to the Selenium driver itself.
Lebowski currently make use of the Selenium server v1.0.3, which
doesn't support IE9 or Firefox 4. In addition, v1.0.3 is no longer
being supported or worked on. The new Selenium 2 project that is
currently in a beta cycle does support both IE9 and Firefox 4. This
means that I will need to dedicate some time updating Lebowski in
order to take advantage of Selenium 2, which I have now started to
look into doing.
