[wtr-general] Re: set watir_browser=ie is not working
HI marekj, Thanks for the pointers. I think in a way I was using two command prompts. One to set the browser, and then I ran the script fromt SciTE (by pressing F5). So I guess that's why it was not working. When I used just one command prompt (to set browser and run the script, everything is OK), the script works fine with both IE and FF. Thank you everyone for the all the replies.

[wtr-general] Re: set watir_browser=ie is not working
The set option is a nice way to be able to run the very same script against both browsers without having to edit the script itself. e.g. run in one system set for IE, and it uses IE, run it on another system set for firefox, and it uses firefox.. but speaking of that, if both are used, which takes precidence? If you try to use (or accidentially end up using) both the environment variable and the inscript .default= at the same time, which one wins? (or do we file that under 'bad ideas' along with crossing the streams or sneaking up on a piersons puppeteer from behind and suprising them)?

[wtr-general] Re: set watir_browser=ie is not working
Sorry, missed that part. I haven't tried it the way that the example describes. The following works for me: require 'watir/browser' Watir::Browser.default = 'firefox' b = Watir::Browser.new I basically have a test runner that takes a command line option for the browser type. When it starts it sets the browser type as described above and doesn't touch it after that. If you do something like this in the script: require 'watir/browser' Watir::Browser.default = ARGV[0] b = Watir::Browser.new and then call the script this way from DOS you won't have to keep changing back and forth: script.rb firefox I've stayed away from calling Watir::Browser.default more than once (i.e., changing the value in irb or in a script once it has been initially set). --- On Thu, 12/11/08, Margam nk.mar...@gmail.com wrote: From: Margam nk.mar...@gmail.com Subject: [wtr-general] Re: set watir_browser=ie is not working To: Watir General watir-general@googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, December 11, 2008, 4:14 PM Hi John, So I tried using require 'watir/browser' in my script and set watir_browser=ie from command prompt and everything is OK.
