How to check Ruby version on TW?

[Old Grantonian]

I use Ruby 2.1.3-x64 and 64 bit DevKit.

The following code works OK:

browser.span(:text => "vListNum").when_present.click

The following code fails:

browser.span(text: "vListNum").when_present.click

The error is:

syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ')'

On stackOverflow, they suspect that my Ruby is not up to date. How do I check that?

ruby -v says:

ruby 2.1.3p242 (2014-09-19 revision 47630) [x64-mingw32]

The Ruby version included in TestWise is 1.8, just as you found out, 

    :text => "vListNum" 

works, the new Ruby syntax for hashes

    text:"vListNum" 

doesn't. 

You don't have to upgrade Ruby in terms of developing automated test scripts, as long as using the first Hash syntax.  The test scripts work fine on Ruby 1.9, 2.0, 2.1 as well.  That's how our typical Test Automation + CI set up.

TestWise IDE for developing tests.

CI Server (e.g. BuildWise, Jenkins) runs Ruby 2.1 to execute all test suite multiple times a day (and do cross-browser testing).
