NoMethodError: undefinied method 'goto' for # <Watir::IE:0x3294480>

[ab.ost...@gmail.com]

Hi there!

def setup
@browser = Wayn::BrowserFactory.create
@user = Wayn::User.new(@browser)
@user.login('tomcio', 'haslo')
end

where

class BrowserFactory
def BrowserFactory.create
browser = Watir::Browser.new

begin
browser.speed = :zippy
browser.bring_to_front
rescue NoMethodError
end

browser
end
end
end

I have installed:
Ruby Version 1.8.6
Installer Version 186-27
firewatir 1.6.2
commonwatir 1.6.2

I have following error:
No method error: undefinied method 'goto' for # <Watir::IE:0x3294480>

I run the same script on another machine and it works therefore I dont
know whats cousing this error.
Thanks in advance

What is the purpose of the BrowserFactory class? Has not Watir got its
own 'factory' in Common Watir?

And your class also shows leakage:

Pushing a free flowing language (e.g. English) - in my opinion - is
also a bad move.

Have a look at this:

If anyone wants to use Rspec Cucumber, I will gladly guide them
through it on this list.

#How about this

require 'watir'

class Browser

def initialize
@browser ||= Watir::IE.new
@browser.speed = :zippy
@browser.bring_to_front
@browser.maximize
end

def close
@browser.close
puts "we have closed the browser"
end

#watir methods not in Browser fall into here
def method_missing(method_name,*args)
@browser.send(method_name, *args)
end

end

browser ||= Browser.new
browser.goto('www.fsf.org')
browser.close

There is require 'watir'

require 'watir'

class BrowserFactory
def BrowserFactory.create
browser = Watir::Browser.new

begin
browser.speed = :zippy
browser.bring_to_front
rescue NoMethodError
end

browser
end
end
end

Not sure. I did notice that you have some other method calls to the
browser where you are trapping the NoMethodError. Why are you doing that?

Also, it might help us if you could create a simple script that
reproduces this problem. I personally don't have issues with the
framework you've developed, but I think it is distracting some people
and keeping them from helping you with your problem.

Can you isolate the problem to a short procedure that doesn't use your
framework (open-coding).

This has helped:
gem update --system
gem install windows-pr
gem install watir
Thanks.

I have the following problem:

Script:

require 'rubygems'
require 'watir'

brow = Watir::Browser.new
site = 'http://www.tulugar.com'
brow.goto(site)

Displays the following error:

"undefined method 'goto' <Watir::IE0X2c3b368> for # (NoMethodError)"

The environment variable is watir_browser = ie
Watir 1.6

I appreciate your help

I have the same problem: I have 2 vmware images with the exact same
setup. I try to run this test:

require 'rubygems'
require 'watir'

Watir.options_file = 'c:\\temp\\options.yml'
browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto "http://www.cnn.com"
browser.close

It works on one image, the other image says "undefined method 'goto'

<Watir::IE0X2c3b368> for # (NoMethodError)"

I also tried to install this:

gem update --system
gem install windows-pr
gem install watir

But to no effect unfortunately. Any help would be great!

Cheers,
John

I solved the problem by doing a "gem uninstall win32-api" first, and
then to install it again with "gem install win32-api".
What I noticed was that there were 2 versions of win32-api installed.
I removed them both.
