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

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

Hi John, So I tried using require 'watir/browser' in my script and set watir_browser=ie from command prompt and everything is OK. IE is opened and the scripts runs fine. But when I type set watir_browser=firefox from command prompt and run the script, IE is still used. Firefox is not launched.

: 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

Thanks for the reply and explanation. The Watir::Browser.default = 'ie' and Watir::Browser.default = 'firefox' lines in my Ruby script worked fine. Will try the set lines also. On Dec 10, 7:40 pm, marekj [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: set watir_browser=ie lines are 'environment variables' you
