Hi.

I see the issue.  you have something like this:

br = Watir::Browser.new.ff

it should be

br = Watir::Browser.new :ff

You need to remove the period infront of 'ff' and replace it with a colon.

Joe,

Thanks for answering my question however i have seen an error message .

http://screencast.com/t/4nzYJbeEKZ1N

I have 2 questions

1.Why a pop is shown after this command br = Watir::Browser.new :ff and then an instance of ff is opened.(or is this the expected behavior?)

2.Why Am I seeing an error message for this command 

browser.goto 'http://bit.ly/watir-example'

Please answer me...

Thanks for your precious time!!!!

Hi,

Sometimes you need to include the starred line below:

* require 'rubygems'

require 'watir-browser'

browser = Watir::Browser.new :ff

browser.goto  'http://bit.ly/watir-example'

In your code you do this (require 'Watir-webdriver').  I am not sure if that is causing the problem but you might change it to (require 'watir-webdriver').  

Try and keep your code to same as the examples.

What type of machine are you working on?

Hi Pri,

I am so very sorry. One of my lines is incorrect.

require 'watir-webdriver' not 'watir-browser'

* require 'rubygems'
require 'watir-webdriver'
browser = watir::Browser.new :ff
browser.goto 'http://bit.ly/watir-example'

Let me know what happens and sorry again for leading you in the wrong direction.

Yes. You will learn WATIR. :-)

It should be require 'watir-webdriver'
instead if require 'watir-browser'

Hi Pri,

Just wondering if you got this resolved.
