Taking a look at the WatiN::Core::IE overloaded constructors, you can
immediately see the issue:
public IE(bool createInNewProcess);
public IE(object iwebBrowser2);
public IE(string url);
public IE(Uri uri);
When calling IE.new('http://google.com'), the string is a Ruby string, which is
resolving to the object overload rather than the string overload. A work-around
currently will be to force the string to be a CLR string:
IE.new('http://google.com'.to_clr_string)
However, it's unfortunate that IronRuby's CLR overload resolution is picking
the more conservative choice, rather than seeing if the Ruby string can be
coerced into a more specific overload. JD, have you found this while testing?
Tomas, any specific reason this is the behavior, or would you call it a bug?
I'd vote it as a bug.
This will also work:
ie = IE.new
ie.go_to 'http://google.com'
Here's the C# example ported to IronRuby:
require 'Interop.SHDocVw'
require 'WatiN.Core'
include WatiN::Core
ie = IE.new
ie.go_to 'http://localhost:1879/Login.aspx'
ie.text_field('txtUserName').type_text('azamsharp')
I also verified this works from the interactive prompt, so you can use WatiN to
control the browser interactively from IronRuby.

Really I'd like to see your full C# project to see what is missing in the Ruby
script. Otherwise, I'll just go to watin's website myself and try it out, but I
can't guarantee I'll get back to you soon. I know finding bugs is frustrating,
but providing as much information as possible, including a runnable
self-contained repro, will help us reproduce the issue and get back to you with
a fix. Otherwise we're just wasting time.
For future reference, here's the info asked for when reporting bugs:

Here are the contents of ironrubywatin.rb file:
require 'WatiN.Core.dll'
require 'Interop.SHDocVw.dll'
IE = WatiN::Core::IE
i = IE.new('http://localhost:1879/Login.aspx')
There is no C# file.
I run using:
ir.exe ironrubywatin.rb
Everything is placed in the bin/Debug folder hence no path reference is
required!
Thanks,
Azam

Azam, without seeing the contents of ironrubywatin.rb, or what a correct C#
WatiN program looks like ... we can't help much. So, either send the Ruby and
C# source so we can compare, or can you package up your testing directory into
a zip file and host it somewhere online so we can try it ourselves? Please
don't attach it to this thread, as the mailing list will regect a large
attachment.

Hi,
I tried it and it did not work. Here are the details:
C:\Projects\ILoveIronRuby\ILoveIronRuby\testing\bin\Debug>ir ironrubywatin.rb
ironrubywatin.rb:8: iwebBrowser2 needs to implement shdocvw.IWebBrowser2 (Argume
ntError)
Thanks,

IronRuby start the main thread in STA mode as can be seen by this command:
c:\>rbx -e "puts System::Threading::Thread.CurrentThread.ApartmentState"
STA
However, new threads are created in MTA mode (the default).
c:\>rbx -e "Thread.new{ puts
System::Threading::Thread.CurrentThread.ApartmentState }.join"
MTA
I doubt this is the problem as the error messages would be something else. For
C#, are all dlls next to the C# application exe? Try running the IronRuby repro
out of bin\Debug to reduce the issues that could cause problems. If you cannot
get even “require ‘Microsoft.mshtml.dll’” to work, then you know its some basic
problem unrelated to Watin.

WatiN works in STA (Single Threaded Apartment). Maybe I am missing that? How
can I create STA threads in IronRuby.

You can do "igem install" against any pure-Ruby gem; only gems with native

bat file to call RubyGems with IronRuby; RubyGems for IronRuby is identical to
MRI's version.
That being said, I don't know what type of dependencies Selenium has.

I will try the Selenium Client gem. But is there any igem install
selenium-client or do I have to use the Ruby version of Selenium client.

Hi,
Since, Watir is currently not supported I want to check out WatiN with
IronRuby. Yes, I know I can use it with C# but I am interested in using
IronRuby. I am getting the following exception:
Here is the code:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/bin/Debug/WatiN.Core.dll'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/bin/Debug/Interop.SHDocVw.dll'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/bin/Debug/Microsoft.mshtml.dll'
IE = WatiN::Core::IE
i = IE.new()
