Thanks very much for the dialog on this, Justin.
I know your time must be valuable.
Well, perhaps the mystery deepens. :)
At least for me it does. Lot for me to learn here.
Indeed, this entire block (with comments) was inside my
./spec/spec_helper.rb file:
require "watir/rspec"
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.add_formatter(:progress) if config.formatters.empty?
config.add_formatter(Watir::RSpec::HtmlFormatter)
config.before :all, type: :request do
@browser = Watir::Browser.new
end
config.after :all, type: :request do
@browser.close if @browser
end
config.include Watir::RSpec::Helper, type: :request
config.include Watir::RSpec::Matchers, type: :request
end
My Terminal scroll-back indicates I ran the installer:
$ watir-rspec install
Rails application detected.
Installing watir-rspec configuration into
/Users/dks/Projects/spiker/spec/spec_helper.rb.
Can anyone elaborate on the reason why the removal of the four occurrences
of "type: :request", creates conditions where the goto appears to work
properly. Well, honestly I did not try with only two or three. I removed
all four.
In fact, the sample "google url" script on the github page appears to work
to completion on my system.
May I ask further... in the sample script, why does the second test fail? I
tried to fix it by changing the search string that presumably referenced
the CSS id of the "Google Search" and "Feeling Lucky" button. However, when
I change it to any reasonable id I discover when using GoogleChrome
Developer Inspect Tool. I get various errors, including selenium
ElementNotVisibleError, and Watir UnknownMethodException. I would not think
making the second test pass was this challenging. Ha! How to make it pass?
Many thanks.
