OK the putting that in 'brackets' (sorry still think of those as
parenthesis, and [] as brackets..) eliminated that error and got me a
new one.. (heh isn't this fun)
Now the problem is on line 1078 column 39 of firefox.rb another
unexpected token, this time a comma..
So I went and looked, here's the code in that area
--=-=-=-=- snip -=-=-=-=
# 5/16/08 Derek Berner
# Wrapper method to send JS commands concisely,
# and propagate errors
def js_eval(str)
#puts "JS Eval: #{str}"
$jssh_socket.send("#{str};\n",0)
value = read_socket()
if md=/^(\w+)Error:(.*)$/.match(value)
eval "class JS#{md[1]}Error\nend"
raise (eval "JS#{md[1]}Error"), md[2]
end
#puts "Value: #{value}"
value
end
--=-=-=-=-=- snip -=-=-=-
The problem is on the 'raise' line, it doesn't like the comma after
the closing backet, before "md[2]" any ideas? do I need to wrap
everything after 'raise' in another set of brackets? so it reads
like
raise ((eval "JS#{md[1]}Error"), md[2])
??
(and if these things get stuff working, do I need to raise a jira
issue for this so we make sure to make these changes in the watir
source? (point me at instructions for this if they exist, so I do it
'right' I'm used to using Jira at work, but in my experience every
group has their own standards for how they want bugs filed)
