I use appscript to quit Firefox like this:
in browserfactory.rb
---
require 'firewatir'
require 'appscript'
class BrowserFactory
def get_new_browser
# close Firefox if it's running
if Appscript.app('System Events').processes['Firefox'].exists()
Appscript.app('Firefox').quit
end
FireWatir::Firefox.new(:profile => 'firewatir')
end
def quit_browser
Appscript.app('Firefox').quit
end
end
in some_cucumber_steps.rb, which requires browserfactory (implicitly,
thanks to cucumber)
---
Before do
@browser_factory = BrowserFactory.new
@b = @browser_factory.get_new_browser
end
After do
@browser_factory.quit_browser
end
...
It would be nice if the APIs matched for the different flavors of
Watir, but for my current app, I'm only testing with FF on Mac, so
this works for me.
