Re: [wtr-general] Firewatir Doesn't Wait when Page is Cached

I've fixed a lot of Firewatir issues in my fork, Vapir-Firefox. I think I have improved the #wait method to work more reliably. You can give vapir a try; for more information see http://vapir.org/ and see the wiki at http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/ -Ethan On Fri, Jul 16, 2010 at

Re: [wtr-general] NoMethodError: undefined method `>' for nil:NilClass when closing base browser on new window pop-up

It does look like a bug in firewatir. You can open a ticket and wait for it to be fixed, maybe. You can try Vapir-Firefox, which is my much-improved fork of firewatir - see http://vapir.org/ and the wiki at http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/ There's also watir-webdriver, which may be worth a try.

Re: [wtr-general] Watir on Windows, how is it done anymore?

It's compatible with IE on windows, and Firefox on basically any operating system that runs both firefox and ruby. More info at: http://wiki.github.com/vapir/vapir/versions On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 15:27, Nathan Lane wrote: > Thank you Ethan. Is Vapir compatible with as many browsers

Watir has been locked to a very old version of ruby for a long time. Vapir, an updated fork of watir, runs on any recent version of ruby. On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 15:18, Željko Filipin wrote: > On Monday, July 12, 2010, Nathan Lane wrote: > > from (irb):9from C

Actually, on second thought, this looks more like a different issue. Are you running on windows vista or 7? If so, you should run ruby as administrator. On Sun, Jul 11, 2010 at 00:44, Ethan wrote: > Make sure you have checked "Allow active content to run in files on my > compute

Make sure you have checked "Allow active content to run in files on my computer". Go to 'Internet Options' (under Tools in IE) -> Advanced -> scroll down to 'Security' heading. On Sat, Jul 10, 2010 at 19:18, joedio wrote: > # > # Watir fails to get url for a file on the local file system, but no

Re: [wtr-general] Firefox and TinyMCE

firewatir's execute_script executes in the context of the very top level exposed by jssh, which is different than the top level that's available to the web page. in jssh you can control the browser itself to a much greater extent than is possible through a page (which is how firewatir works). a top

Not at all easily. There's been discussion of this before. There's some code floating around, but the code is not easy to understand. I don't know if the author would provide any support for the code; I don't think anybody else is in a position to do so. Previous discussion: http://rubyforge.org/p

Vapir-Firefox is a more featureful and stable fork of Firewatir. The API is the same, with a few exceptions. You might have a look at it. Its homepage is at http://vapir.org/ On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 06:34, Liberty1776 wrote: > Update: > This seems to happen after I close one of Firefox windows.

Run the ruby process as administrator. You can do this by launching the parent cmd window as administrator, or, if you're using a shortcut, modifying the shortcut to launch the process as administrator. On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 12:07, Zach Hayes wrote: > Windows 7 > Internet Explorer 8 > Ruby 1.8

Re: [wtr-general] Running Watir in silent mode

@ie.visible can be set to false, there is some sort of options interface for setting this through watir with which I'm not very familiar. However, if the remote machine is linux, you can't run IE at all. No such option exists for firefox/firewatir as far as I know. Charley may be right; celerity so
