Hi Matt! Since you're just starting, you may want to take some time to consider what type of framework will work best for you. Most people use a Test::Unit or an RSpec framework, or a variation on one of them. I'm still using Test::Unit because I like it (I like the syntax and if a verification fails, the test will continue on its own without having to add a rescue statement). Most people, however, have moved to RSpec and find it more intuitive to work with.
You can find examples of various test frameworks here: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Examples Hope this helps! -Tiffany On Feb 11, 7:29 am, Matt <thurman_m...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Thanks! > > On Feb 10, 5:23 pm, Paul Rogers <paul.rog...@shaw.ca> wrote: > > > you use @browser.link and not $browser as youve used elsewhere in your > > testcase > > > Paul > > > On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 2:08 PM, Matt <thurman_m...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > I am receiving the following error: > > > > 1) Error: > > > test_a_order_now(TC_S001): > > > NoMethodError: undefined method `link' for nil:NilClass > > > Story001_set.rb:50:in `test_a_order_now' > > > > <Error is on the verify statement near the end> > > > > ########################################################################################### > > > > require 'watir' > > > require "watir/testcase" > > > > class TC_S001 < Watir::TestCase > > > > def test_a_order_now > > > > #variables > > > test_site = 'https://www.mysite.com' > > > > #open a browser > > > $browser = Watir::Browser.new > > > > puts '## Beginning of test: Order' > > > puts ' ' > > > > puts 'Step 1: go to the site' > > > $browser.goto(test_site) > > > puts ' Action: entered ' + test_site + ' in the address bar.' > > > > puts 'Check for Security Warning' > > > if $browser.text.include?
