= watirgrid

WatirGrid allows for distributed testing across a grid network using Watir.

Basic instructions are:

Pick a server to host the 'controller' for the ring server and execute the following:
  $ controller -l INFO

This should find your external facing IP and start the corresponding DRb and Ring Servers:
  DRb server started on : druby://192.168.1.105:11235
  Ring server started on: druby://192.168.1.105:12358

On each client PC, host the 'provider' for the distributed (DRb) Watir objects
  $  provider -l INFO

This should find the recently started Ring Server and register a tuple for the Watir object:
  DRb server started on : druby://192.168.1.105:64864
  New tuple registered  : druby://192.168.1.105:12358

You will now be able to execute commands across remote browsers on your grid network.

Check the watirgid_spec.rb for some examples ...

e.g.
  browsers = Watir::Grid.new(:ring_server_port => 12351)
	browsers.start(:quantity => 2, :read_all => true)
	browsers.size.should == 2
	browsers.each do |browser, browser_id|
    browser.goto("http://www.google.com")
    browser.text_field(:name, 'q').set("watirgrid")
    browser.button(:name, "btnI").click
  end

For more help see:

  $  ./provider -h
  Usage: provider [options]
  Specific options:
    -r, --ring-server-port PORT      Specify Ring Server port to broadcast on
    -b, --browser-type TYPE          Specify browser type to register {ie|firefox|safari}
