Ruby

Hi,

First and foremost I must admint that, I am completely new to watir and
to ruby. I am trying to take my first steps in attempting to automate
one our our testing application. And i am stuck with the error as I
execute the script. can some one help…

I am using follow
D:>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32]
D:>gem -v
0.9.2
when executing
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘watir’
puts Watir::IE::VERSION

ruby watir_version.rb
1.4.1
Exit code: 0

require ‘rubygems’ # the watir controller
require ‘watir’ # the watir controller
require ‘win32ole’ # the watir controller

set a variable

$test_site = ‘http://portaltest/’

open the IE browser

$ie = Watir::IE.new

print some comments

puts “#Beginning of test: Test Portal”
puts "Step 1: go to the test site: " + $test_site
$ie.goto($test_site)

output:
#Beginning of test: Test Portal
Step 1: go to the test site: http://portaltest/

and some time with different script am getting following error

Hi Balabaskaran,

it is really hard to tell because I don’t use windows, but here are
some steps you can take:

  • Did you try to ask your question on the Watir google group ? They
    maybe have a better idea of what is happening. See
    http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general

  • Try upgrading ruby. http://rubyinstaller.org/ is a really wonderful
    windows package. Maybe stick with 1.8.7 if you already have some code
    base. These kind of errors appear either because you passed the wrong
    type of argument or method, or because the API is not compatible with
    your current version of ruby.

Hope this help,
zimbatm
