Thanks Bret. Since we are still supporting 1.8.2 (esp. for modal dialog support), we should document this somewhere.
OK, readme.rb seems to be a reasonable option, unless this needs more space than we need there. Even then, perhaps the readme would point to a page on the wiki. Here's the current (relevant) text: To Install Ruby: http://ruby-lang.org Best is to use Ruby 1.8.2-14 or later. However, if you are using the Watir::IE#modal_dialog method, you must use Ruby 1.8.2-14 and not a more recent version. Watir (in general) will not work with Ruby 1.8.1-13. (This version of Ruby has a bad WIN32OLE library.) To Install Watir: Best way to install is to use the gem. From your command line: > gem install win32-process --include-dependencies > gem install watir This will download and install watir, win32-process and all dependencies. A few questions coming out of this conversation. 1. When we say "if you are using the Watir::IE#modal_dialog method, you must use Ruby 1.8.2-14 and not a more recent version." Do we really mean 1.8.2-14? It sounds like 1.8.2-15 worked correctly with --include-dependencies. Can we safely just change references from 1.8.2-14 to 1.8.2-15? 2. If not, should we change the above to: To Install Watir: Best way to install is to use the gem. From your command line: > gem install win32-process You will be prompted to install dependencies. Say yes. > gem install watir This will download and install watir, win32-process and all dependencies. One more question: Do these instructions change in any way if you have a previous version installed? If so, what should I know to add? Thoughts? Jeff -- http://testingjeff.wordpress.com
