This is Watir - Web Application Testing In Ruby http://wtr.rubyforge.org
-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.)
+Install Ruby http://ruby-lang.org
+ First you need to install Ruby using the one-click installer for Windows. We
+ recommend Ruby 1.8.5. (Ruby 1.8.6 has problems.)
-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.
+ However, if you wish to use Watir's support for the IE showModalDialog then
+ you must use Ruby 1.8.2-15 (or 1.8.2-14) and not a more recent version. This
+ dialog is the one that is posted with the showModalDialog() JavaScript
+ command and is supported with Watir's ie.modal_dialog command.
+Install Watir
+ Watir is packaged as a gem, a Ruby library that can be installed over the
+ internet.
+
+ Watir 1.5 was released in September 2007. To install it, type this at a
+ command prompt:
+ gem install watir
+
+ Watir 1.4 was released in August 2005. If you are upgrading from it, see
+ these notes: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Development+Builds
