I've been setting up a VM to do testing on our product and the easiest thing for me to do is to have the automation code running on the same system were we install the product (and database etc). Hence the use of Server2008 as the platform since that is official supported (and I figured would have more longevity for me than using Server 2003)
The problem I'm encountering is that a few steps into the test scripts (done via cucumber) I'm getting errors, and then windows shuts down the whole works because it feels that it's accessing memory that it shouldn't. The relevant error displayed at the command line looks like this C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.7.1/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:516: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.7 (2010-12-23 patchlevel 330) [i386-mingw32] I can turn off DEP and that seems to get me past this (need to patch up some other issues with the scripts before I can tell) but it concerns me that I need to do that, and makes me wonder what either Watir or Ruby is doing that makes windows think it's gone 'outside of it's swim lane in the memory pool' so to speak. Anyone have any bright ideas aside from disabling DEP for ruby.exe and crossing my fingers? -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
