Just heard of this great browser simulator, and couldn't wait to try it out. My ruby version is 1.8.7, firefox version is 3.5.7, has FireBug 1.5.0 installed. Installation of 'firewatir' gem went well, and now I'm starting the irb to follow some tutorial:
Here's the whole process of having the problem (very short): p...@ubuntu:~/development/ruby/projects$ irb >> require 'watir' => true >> Watir::Browser.default="firefox" => "firefox" >> l = >> "http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=shrek&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g6g-s1g3"; => "http://images.google.com/images? hl=en&source=hp&q=shrek&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g6g-s1g3" >> b = Watir::Browser.start(l) # Now the problem begins. It stays in this state for 5 minutes, and shows no sign of getting to anywhere. I had to CTRL-C to stop the process. And here's the error dump: ^CIRB::Abort: abort then interrupt!! from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:81:in `irb_abort' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:247:in `signal_handle' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:66:in `start' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.5/lib/ active_support/core_ext/string/output_safety.rb:25:in `call' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.5/lib/ active_support/core_ext/string/output_safety.rb:25:in `+' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/ jssh_socket.rb:52:in `read_socket' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/ jssh_socket.rb:47:in `each' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/ jssh_socket.rb:47:in `read_socket' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/ jssh_socket.rb:6:in `js_eval' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/ firefox.rb:175:in `get_window_number' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/ firefox.rb:132:in `initialize' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/ firefox.rb:163:in `new' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/ firefox.rb:163:in `start' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/commonwatir-1.6.5/lib/watir/ browser.rb:71:in `start' from (irb):4 >> quit I initially thought maybe the program cannot be started from irb shell, so I put all the 3 lines of code into a separate ruby script, and tried to run it independently. Same problem happens again. Any ideas? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
