There has been a lot of this at my company (Convio). Much of this happened before I arrived. Some extensions fix bugs, some support weird application-specific behavior. Some add methods that people thought should be added to Watir.

That's great. I'd like to get these changes merged in before changing class names. We have a backlog of pull requests and code submissions in Jira that I'd live to tackle first.

I know that this has happened a lot at my company (Convio). Sometimes it is to fix a bug -- I'm working to merge these changes back in. Sometimes it is to handle an odd application-specific problem.

Thanks for your help with this. If we change the class names, it not only causes compatibility problems, but it also makes it nearly impossible to accept these kinds of fixes. We have a backlog of submitted fixes in pull requests and jira, and it seems like the right thing to do would be to process these submissions before changing the class names.

[wtr-general] Re: [Wtr-development] Vapir
The biggest change in Vapir is that class names have been systematically changed. We've been reluctant to make these changes in Watir because it would lead to a lot of compatibility problems for people who have extended the existing Watir classes. I'm happy to reconsider if there really is a demand for this kind of change. If I was starting from scratch and didn't have any legacy users, I'd probably propose making most of the changes that Ethan made. But I have found that Watir users have very little stomach for introducing incompatible changes. If there is stuff you like in Vapir that is compatible, please let us know.

One thing you might try, in order to track things down, would be to try running your tests with with Watir 1.6.2. If you do this, you should manually install firewatir 1.6.2 also (gem install firewatir -v 1.6.2). And then uninstall any newer watir gems (if any).

[wtr-general] Re: Trouble installing Watir on a Closed Network
Quick tip for all. If you need to download gems so that you can install them on a system not connected to an internet, you can use the "gem fetch" command, then you can install the gems locally. This command works for all gems, not just watir gems.

[wtr-general] Re: Where to download gem watir 1.5.1.1100 ?
This will be hard to build. We've updated our build instructions to match the current code in developement. Back then we were using SVN and I think you would need to pull from our old SVN repository on OpenQA to build this. The "1100" was the SVN revision number of the source it was built from. It's also possible that the Wayback machine could be used to recover old gems.

[wtr-general] Re: Delete cookies in Firewatir
I suggest that this conversation move to the watir-development list.
We need need to ensure that Jari and the developers for other Watir
implementations are in the loop, and I'm not sure that they watch
everything here.

[wtr-general] Re: Answering incomplete requests
I guess for now, I would say that people should be told that they can post questions in either location. There are very few people actually answering watir questions on stackoverflow right now. Basically it is just you Zeljko, although I did see Mark A make an appearance. I would like to revise the tone of our support page to be more like the cucumber page. I haven't really had the time for this, but maybe a couple of people could work on this. I guess the place to start would be what would you write in an email to a friend who was new to watir?

[wtr-general] Grace counts
If you are here asking for people to help you with a problem, please take the time and effort to let others know that appreciate their help and don't take it for granted. Sometimes I see posts that say "urgent help needed" or "help needed asap", and this tone usually puts me in a mindset not to help. I always ignore posts with a subject of "help needed", especially if it is all capital letters. If you need help, you should take the time to isolate your problem and provide us with a clear and complete description. And take the time to provide a descriptive header. This is both the polite thing to do and the smart thing to do: because it actually helps others get you the help you need. Thanks!

[wtr-general] Testing Email
Hi there. I've been away for a while, but am now back. I would like to automate email testing. Mainly make sure the right emails were sent. I guess what I want is to set up an email server in our lab, configure our app to send emails to it, and then my scripts can access it to make sure that the right email was delivered. I've done this before with Rails, and with that you can just put the email sender in test mode and validate it against directly. It works great, but is not an option for me right now. Is any one else doing something like this? What are you using? Is there an open-source testing-email-server I could use? Obviously, I want to be able to access it from Ruby.
