Chapter 52b: Watir-Webdriver Journey

Testing on Different Platforms (TEST ONLY)

• Set up Test Env.
  

1. Ran the following to set up my WatirSpec test environment on Vista and Cygwin.

• git clone git://github.com/jarib/watir-webdriver.git
• cd watir-webdriver/
• git submodule init
• git submodule update

1. Then ran "rake --trace" and got this:

• $ rake --trace

• (in C:/Documents and Settings/jasnow/gitlocalrepo/watir-webdriver)
• ** Invoke default (first_time)
• ** Invoke spec (first_time)
• ** Invoke check_dependencies (first_time)
• ** Execute check_dependencies
• Missing some dependencies. Install them with the following commands:
• gem install webidl --version ">= 0"
• Run the specified gem commands before trying to run this again: /cygdrive/c/deepdiv
• e/InstantRails-2.0-win/ruby/bin/rake

1. So I ran this: 'gem install webidl --version ">= 0"'
2. and then "rake" to run the tests. Here is the results: http://pastie.org/823752
3. It finished in 128.062 seconds with 807 examples, 59 failures. (356 lines of output)
   
4. Going to study the pre-reqs for original Watir Unit Tests.
5. Try turning off Pop-Up Blocker on Firefox by going to Tools/Options/Content and unclick on "Block Pop-up Windows".
6. Then I tried going into watirspec directory and running "git checkout watir2" to move to branch, but got the same number of failures. So I printed out the Rakefile and the output and will study them.
7. After studying them, I undid step 5 and 6 above.
8. Chapter 11 blog
9. Found I was running watir-webdriver-0.0.1.dev3, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it ("gem install selenium-webdriver") and got 0.0.1.dev5. Also uninstall all selenium-webdriver and reinstall it and got 0.0.17. Still 356 lines of output.
   
10. Which platform do you run this testsuite on?
    Probably tests and gem is out of sync.
