I know this may be a little bit of extra
work but here is what we do and it works fine. We use CruiseControl.Net which is a
service that runs on our build machine and runs at timed intervals or we can force
it as well. But then from CruiseControl we have a Nant build kickoff that
executes our build scripts which one of the things that is done in that is to
execute our WATIR scripts. Hope this helps. But as you can see it can
be done and with minimal setup really. CruiseControl and Nant are both very
easy to setup and get running. Sergio From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

anyone know how to set up Watir to run unattended? I’m having
troubles trying to do this using a Scheduled Task. Requirements: 1)
Execute a Watir script without having to have a user login to the computer to
execute it (e.g via a Service or Scheduled task). 2)
Have the script notify the developers when testing fails (via email or updating
a web page). I’m
trying to set up a Watir script to serve as a “heart
beat” of sorts for my web site. The idea is that I have a watir
script constantly running that tests a website and notifies our
development team (via email or a status web page) when the scripts fail.
I thought I would do it by creating a Windows Scheduled task that would
periodically call my Watir Script. I’m getting an error when I
execute
this scheduled task, however. The error is: Failed to create WIN32OLE object from
`InternetExplorer.Application' HRESULT error code:0x80070005 Access is denied. The
script runs fine when I execute it via a command prompt. The user the
Scheduled Task is running under is an admin account, so that should be fine
too. The only thing I’m doing in the script is calling IE.new();
that’s where the error occurs. I’m wondering if the problem is due
to IE being a GUI app and scheduled tasks don’t display
GUI’s. I tested this by creating a Scheduled Task to simply
instantiate an instance of IE; it worked without errors. Here’s
the test I’m running: require 'watir' require 'test/unit' require 'ftools' class TC_MyCompany < Test::Unit::TestCase include Watir def test_hello_world @ie = IE.new() #BOOM!! Error happens here. @ie.close() t = Time.now time_stamp = t.strftime("Printed on %m/%d/%Y at
%I:%M%p") File.open('E:\Watir\hello.txt', "w+") { |msg_file| msg_file.write("successfully
opened IE at #{time_stamp}") } rescue File.open('E:\Watir\hello.txt', "w+") {
|msg_file| msg_file.write($!) } end end Thanks for any help you can offer! John |
