Setting Ruby/Watir Environment - Chapter 3

Reinstall Watir

1. The steps below are on Vista/64 on Cygwin window and running as administrator.
2. Ran "gem update --system" and got "Nothing to update". (OK)
3. Ran "gem install watir" and got 3 successfully installed lines (common, fire, watir) all 1.6.2, so "3 gems installed" and 3 ri documentations installed and 3 RDoc documentation installed.
4. Tried "two-minutes.rb" again and it worked both as administrator and later as just me.
5. Found the "Running Unit Tests in Development" and started reading it.
6. Create $HOME/WATIR and then did this: svn checkout http://svn.openqa.org/svn/watir/trunk
7. Got version 1685 of the source code.
8. Also check "gem list user-choices" and found I had 1.1.6. (OK)
9. Copied options.yml.example to options.yml in same directory (trunk/watir/unittest).
10. So I ran the Watir Unit Tests and got this: $ ruby core_tests.rb

    eval):1:in `klass': uninitialized constant Watir::IE (NameError)

11. Googled for "klass': uninitialized constant Watir::IE" and found email from Bret that said to add "require 'watir/ie" to core_tests.rb, so I did and it started to work.
12. Run Summary was: "285 tests, 1135 assertions, 21 failures, 37 errors". I will attach log file if possible.
