Hi Lisa, I haven't worked with Vista and IE7, I'm trying to get a box set up with that now. Your report gave me a nudge to set it up. The rpc server errors you're seeing are due to closing the browser, which unfortunately doesn't give a good indication of what's going wrong. I don't think the problem is with Vista and IE7.
The fact that it's working in irb and not in the scripts, points to a possible problem with the scripts. Can you send some snippets of code from the failing scripts or more information? Even though you haven't gotten this far: Watir 1.4.1 won't work with modal dialogs, you'd need to use the latest development gem for 1.5.1: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds And Ruby 1.8.2 to work with the modified version of win32ole.so. -Charley On 12/5/06, Lisa Crispin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I've searched the mailing list for this error but I'm not finding much that helps me. Admittedly, I am over my head with this. We have customers using IE7 so we'd like to run Watir tests on IE7. We set up a machine with Windows Vista and IE7 (Why Windows Vista? Just because it was there, I guess). I installed Ruby 1.8.5 with the one click installer and used gem to install Watir 1.4.1. I can attach to an IE window fine with irb and click buttons and so on in irb. However, the scripts fail with errors like the ones below. They invoke the site URL fine, but then another window seems to be trying to open, just hanging. When I close it, I get the errors below. We tried turning off the tabs in IE7, that didn't help. I tried some troubleshooting I found for older versions of windows with the RPC Server error but nothing helps. I can manually use the app just fine from this machine with IE7. We have other Windows machines set up the same way as this one network-wise but they are XP. Is anyone else using Windows Vista? The only problem I've seen on this mailing list for IE7 is the modal dialog popup title being different. We are not getting anywhere close to our modal dialog popups! The scripts can't seem to click anything once they invoke the site (although I can do it with irb).
