Hello everyone! I've been quiet for a while, but i'm back with some great news! I'm ready to release Watir 3.0 rc1 into the wild.
This release includes quite many changes trying to conform with WatirSpec causing backwards incompatible changes (that's why the version number is 3). I have ran this code against watirspec specs with Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.3 on Windows 7 having only 23 failures [1]. Most of the failures are related with #send_keys (which needs to be changed on RAutomation's end), relative xpaths (if anyone has great ideas how to solve that with nokogiri, i'd like to hear) and Table methods finding internal tables. In other words - it should be quite good to run tests with Watir and Watir-WebDriver side by side. I'd encourage you to give that rc1 a try and let me know/fix (of) the issues :) All questions are welcome. I have seen other e-mails about future plans and such. These are my recommendations about roadmap: 1) make rest of the specs pass 2) add all the missing elements support ( http://zeljkofilipin.github.com/watirbook/reference/elements.htm) 3) cleanup repository by moving commonwatir code under watir codebase 4) delete commonwatir and firewatir code 5) delete old tests, since they don't pass anyway (if anyone wants to convert some missing tests to RSpec, then they're free to do that anytime) 6) use Bundler for managing dependencies (especially for development) 7) stop using uncomfortable JIRA for issue management and use Github's issues instead 8) use github/watir/watir repository if possible That's it i guess for now. All the help is welcome of course :) [1] https://gist.github.com/1604963 Jarmo
