I am using Ruby 2.0.0 with Watir-Classic 4.2.0 on Windows 7 64 bit with IE11.
I have a script that works entirely fine when working with IE8. A button is clicked, the next page loads, and the expected functionality continues until the end of the script. However, I'm running into an issue when running the same script on a machine with IE11 running with the site in compatibility mode. When I click the same button, the entire WATIR process seems to lock up. I eventually get a timeout and the script fails. Once the script fails, I attempt to maximize the window and take a screenshot. This can take anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes after the process locks up (which is not normal, it usually only take a moment to take a screenshot). While this is occurring, I also can not attach to the browser through an IRB session. The same steps can still be performed manually without issue - I can click the button just fine and the next page loads, so this is an automation only issue. Another weird part is this is NOT 100% of the time, and occurs on my machine and our webapps with about 80% repeatability. Sometimes the script continues normally, which leads me to believe this is some sort of race condition with compat mode. Even weirder is the fact that my colleague, who has the same system setup as mine, does not run into this issue - though his machine does tend to run slower than mine. Does anyone have any suggestions for working around this issue? We need to upgrade to IE11 for other scripts, but obviously cannot until we resolve this issue.
