Does any form of WATIR run on IronRuby? What I’ve seen in my searches to date doesn’t look encouraging, but that information could be out of date. If a form of WATIR can run on IronRuby, how difficult is it to build IronRuby itself completely from source? I have run into problems trying to get Ruby or JRuby entirely built from source on Windows, and that is a show-stopper for my project, so I am hoping IronRuby would work instead. Thanks! rcs ---

It’s not difficult to build IronRuby from source - you simply check out the code from github, and either compile the visual studio solution, or run a bat file from the command prompt Orion E. | Technical Leader PHONE +64 7 838 9800 | EMAIL removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid | WEB [www.gallagher.co](http://www.gallagher.co) From: “Richard S.” [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) To: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Date: 08/03/2014 01:39 a.m. Subject: [Ironruby-core] WATIR on IronRuby?

Also don’t forget there is WATIN for .NET, may be it would be an easier alternative. And Hanselman recently wrote about Canopy,[http://www.hanselman.com/blog/NuGetPackageOfTheWeekCanopyWebTestingFrameworkWithF.aspx](http://www.hanselman.com/blog/NuGetPackageOfTheWeekCanopyWebTestingFrameworkWithF.aspx), a similar thing.

Here we'll talk about how to develop a big piece of software or a really small project, we'll have discussions with some great technologists in different domains: Java, .NET, Scala, and others...
