Hi all,

I am trying to get my Watir scripts running under IronRuby, but am  
encountering the following error:

:0:in `require’: no such file to load – dl (LoadError)  
from C:/ironruby-0.9.0/lib/ruby/1.8/dl/import.rb:3  
from ./watir/winClicker.rb:53  
from ./watir.rb:42

Any help gratefully appreciated!

Ok, so after hacking watir.rb, I managed to get IE to open and navigate  
to the URL, but then using the following basic script:

require ‘watir’ # use watir gem  
test\_site = ‘[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)’ # set a variable  
b = Watir::IE.new # open the IE browser  
b.goto(test\_site) # load url, go to site  
b.text\_field(:name, “q”).set(“pickaxe”) # load text “pickaxe” into  
search field named “q”  
b.button(:name, “btnG”).click # “btnG” is the name of the  
Search button, click it

if b.text.include?(“Programming Ruby”)  
puts “Test Passed. Found the test string: ‘Programming Ruby’.”  
else  
puts “Test Failed! Could not find: ‘Programming Ruby’”  
end

I now get the following error:

./watir/element.rb:54:in `assert_exists': Unable to locate element, using :name, "q" (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException) from ./watir/element.rb:288:in `enabled?’  
from ./watir/element.rb:60:in `assert_enabled' from ./watir/input_elements.rb:328:in `set’  
from Simplewatirscript.rb:6
