Sorry, missed that part. I haven't tried it the way that the example describes.
The following works for me:
require 'watir/browser'
Watir::Browser.default = 'firefox'
b = Watir::Browser.new
I basically have a test runner that takes a command line option for the browser
type. When it starts it sets the browser type as described above and doesn't
touch it after that. If you do something like this in the script:
require 'watir/browser'
Watir::Browser.default = ARGV[0]
b = Watir::Browser.new
and then call the script this way from DOS you won't have to keep changing back
and forth:
script.rb firefox
I've stayed away from calling Watir::Browser.default more than once (i.e.,
changing the value in irb or in a script once it has been initially set).
