All, I stumbled across this handy little debugging tool the other day when I was trying to find a tool that would display/trace the execution of my test script. This tool called "Unroller" will print out each line of code that is executed along with the values of the variable passed into and returned from methods. (optionally it will also keep track of local variables.) It is very helpful for quickly identifying exactly where your script died, and what values were causing it to choke.
http://unroller.rubyforge.org/ For some reason I had to install the win32console gem as well to get it working: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1766 Tip: when you invoke the unroller, you may want to "exclude" the common classes that you don't care about ie watir, string, array ... So that it only traces your code. For example: Unroller::trace(:max_depth => 5, :show_locals=>true,:exclude_classes =>[/Watir/,/String/,/Array/]) do # some watir test script code goes here end I hope some of you find this helpful! -David _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
