I am following:

timkoopmans/watirgrid/blob/master/README.rdoc

= Please Note

This project is no longer actively maintained. Recommend you look at Selenium Grid as an alternative.

= WatirGrid

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

== Getting Started
To install WatirGrid:
  gem install watirgrid

=== The Basics

WatirGrid allows a local client to control remote Watir objects in parallel, hosted by *providers* on a grid network, via a central *controller*.

==== Key Terminology
The *controller* implements a repository of tuples (tuple space) that can be accessed concurrently. The controller also hosts a *ring* *server* which advertises these tuples across a grid network making it loosely coupled. 

Typically you will host one controller on a central machine. You will normally connect to this controller via a contoller_uri. You can also find this controller by its ring server, using a UDP broadcast for the ring server port.

This is Ok:
controller

but when I run:
provider -d watir -c druby://127.0.0.1:11235

it says the following error:
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in

Can you post your gem list? Might be a version thing.

G:\Ruby\RubyTech>gem list watir

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

watir (1.6.5)

Sorry, I don’t have a version of Ruby that old. Maybe someone else will
know about this kind of problem. On the surface it looks like there’s a
file in that location in one version but not in another version.
