installation failes

[marcoa]

I am a newbie to this tool. I have installed ruby (ruby182-15.exe) and
then ran the watir install (gem install watir). I then went to run a
simple example which I downloaded and it crashes. The reason I used
182-15 is that I read it was the only version which supports web modal
dialog pages see http://wtr.rubyforge.org/install.html

..."However, if you wish to use Watir’s support for the IE
showModalDialog then you must use Ruby 1.8.2-15 (or 1.8.2-14) and not
a more recent version. This dialog is the one that is posted with the
showModalDialog() JavaScript command and is supported with Watir’s
ie.modal_dialog command.."


Below is the crash dump. Now if someone else can suggest a better
alternative I am happy to try it.

Thanks

Marco

What version of Windows are you using?

 

Thanks

Last week I set up a new environment using these instructions.

 

http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Setting+up+Eclipse+for+Ruby

 

The only change needed for this document is the line for eclipse is missing the executable portion for start eclipse.

 

After installation I ran the all_tests.rb.  Over 1500 assertions passed, there were 7 fails, and I think 2 errors.  I believe the fails and errors are documented as open issues or concerns.  The unit tests in my opinion are the best indicator that your environment is set up correctly.

 

I have found in the past that I had issues installing under the programs files directory.

 

Perhaps uninstall and follow the instructions above, installing to an apps folder.

 

Good luck!

 

Carl

I notice the instructions are for watir 1.4 but when I perform a gem
install of watir (gem install watir) it installs 1.5.x. Could my
problem be related to the watir version?

Thanks
Marco

I have WATIR installed in two different environments.  Here are the specifics:

 

Windows XP Professional - version 2002 - SP 2

Ruby 1.8.2 2004-12-25 [i386-mswin32]

WATIR 1.3.1 (This interesting since I thought I had installed 1.4 stable release)

 

Windows 2000 5.0.0.2195 SP4

Ruby 185-24

WATIR-1[1].5.1.1230.gem

 

Perhaps a comparison to your environments will shed some light.

 

Cheers,

 

Carl

Marcoa - why aren't you using Ruby 1.8.5?

To append why I am asking - you get dialog handling support in Watir 1.5 and Ruby 1.8.5 that is very good.

[marcoa]

Hi Nathan

Well I was going by what they said on the watir web site

..."However, if you wish to use Watir’s support for the IE
showModalDialog then you must use Ruby 1.8.2-15 (or 1.8.2-14) and not
a more recent version. This dialog is the one that is posted with the
showModalDialog() JavaScript command and is supported with Watir’s
ie.modal_dialog command.."

And in particular I need showModalDialog() support.

Are you saying show modal is supported in ruby 1.8.5 with watir 1.5.x
