in principle - there is no reason that is should not work. except if depends on the mocks and stubs you are using for your testing.
you need the full (ulr_for) resolution url name for the browser.goto as you need the mongral server running to generate the page in the browser, i am not so sure that it makes a lot of sense to mix up the two test areas. in the rails environment you are (or should be) testing your program with mocks and stubs which is entirely independant of an application server running or not. if you want to test the "realworld output to the browser" I would do that outside of rails, afterall it does not really matter what application generates the pages the you want to test. hope that is food for thought. jason On 17 Jun., 07:59, Macsig <sigbac...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello guys, > I'm new to watir: I have just discovered it through "Cucumber and > Watir 101" screencast (http://vimeo.com/2871256). > Right now I'm trying to use it with Cucumber and Rails (as Dave shows > in the screencast).
