[wtr-general] Re: Handling a MAC Pro book File Upload window.
Another thing I noticed. Due to the path ending with \criptDataFile.xls It appers that the backslash followed by the two characters cr is being interpeted as a Carridge Return. You can see this in the error message: No such file or directory - Users/josephfleck/Documents/Download Docs/ iptDataFile.xls (Errno::ENOENT) ^ Notice the space instead of the characterscr indicating that \cr was interpreted as a Carriage Return, not the first two characters in the file name criptDataFile.xls So try all these: 1. Use a full pathname, not a relative path (as previously mentioned) Unless Ruby is running with the Root level of your Mac as it working directory, (which I'm pretty sure its not), then the Users directory will not be a valid relative path.) 2. Remove the backslashes. They are not necessary on Mac/Linus OS, (as previously mentioned), and may cause issues (e.g. \cr) 3. Always a good idea (as previously mentioned), to upgrade to the latest version of the gems, (and Ruby if possible) If you are also running safariWatir you may not be able to upgrade to Ruby 1.9.x. I don't recall if safariWatir supports 1.9.x yet. 4. The space in the directory name should not be an issue, since the full path is quoted, but whenever possible using directory and file names without spaces is always safer.

[wtr-general] Re: Will Watir 1.8.0 run on JRuby 1.5.0?
No, it will not work because is can not be installed.
JRuby does not support native extensions or the `mkmf' library
As a part of the installation process Watir (as with many gems)
needs to complile native extensions. Neither JRuby (Ruby on Java)
nor IronRuby (Ruby on .NET) support that ability.
Thus until either JRuby or IronRuby support that
need, or Watir is re-designed to install without the need
for that compilation step, you can't install it and thus it would run.
And since Java is platform independent (while Internet Explorer
is Windows only) So even if Watir could install on JRuby
it would still only work within JRuby on Windows.
However both commonwatir, and firewatir (1.9.x),
as well as watir-webdriver (0.3.2, 0.3.1) do not require the
compilation
of the native libraries, and thus do install.
Here's proof that they (and some other gems) can be installed in
JRuby:

But will it require a huge change in the commands that access page elements, doing some actions etc. We will be using multiple browsers along with it different versions. Answer: Yes, but you will need to account for the differences between Watir and Watir-WebDriver. The majority of methods are supported on either, but some do differ, or only exist in one or the other. For a script to run with either put them inside if statements so that the correct block of code, (specific to one or the other), is executed based on which one is being used. 2. Our Dev env's are user/password based while Test is certificate based. Is it really possible to use some tools like autoit to navigate through certificate list and select one.
