[wtr-general] Re: Weirdness when working with multiple Firefox windows - using Watir::Browser
I think this is a known issue in the trunk code (and older). FireWatir
currently only lets you interact with one browser window at a time, so once
you've attached to a new Firefox browser, you have to close it down before
you can interact with your first browser again.
I think there was some more info on this in posts to the Watir dev list a
few months ago...can't find it at the moment though.
Still, I would also say this is worth an enhancement request if there isn't
one already.
Thanks
Bill

It appears that my browser windows are getting their wires crossed
somehow. I’m attaching code that should show the problem.
What I see:
Browser A goes to a page and clicks on a link to open a print friendly
view of the page.
Browser C should attach to the new window.
Somehow Browser A now thinks that it’s the same thing as Browser C?
What I expected:
Browser A and Browser C remain separate.
Code to use in IRB
#watir_browser is set to FF - using v 3.0.0.10 on my local machine.
require 'Watir'

a.goto(

)
a.image(:alt,PRINT).click
# wait_until(30) { c=Watir::Browser.attach(:url,/printthis/) } # this line
is not working yet.
sleep 10 # attach will throw exception if the window does not appear in
time.
c=Watir::Browser.attach(:url,/printthis/) # if the window does not appear
in time.
a.url # returns the URL from c!
I’m thinking that I should probably log this in JIRA, but I figured that
I’d open the discussion 1st.

I think it is more like a problem with 'attach'.
There is known issue with attaching to Firefox.
