[wtr-general] Re: installing watir behind a firewall on Windows
location like : C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\cache is where gem command copies gems to when it is installing them. I am not sure if there may be a conflict there. (just being paranoid) I would put all your *.gem files you pulled form machine1 to c:\tempgem\*.gem location first and I would not touch rugby\1.8\cache dir. let gem command manage that so, then open cmd.exe in that temp location and run from that dir. c:\tempgem install watir --local this should install watir and all dependencies (provided you have them in tha FileList) and then gem command will copy the gem to the c:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\cache for its own keeping. look at 'gem help commands' command to look at other options. notice that 1) gem pristine command uses the gems\1.8\cache dir for reinstalling gems 2) if you are behind firewall and you can keep all the gems on a local server box. and then do gem install -source URL 3) look at 'gem help mirror' command. you can move the gems around from machine to machine as a bootstrapping option 4) When installing a gem check for dependency gem dependency gemname it should give you a list from gemspec files. 5) as a last resort just do 'gem install gemname --force to ditch dependency but you will have to resolve them manually (warning: not fun) HTH marekj Watirloo: Semantic Page Objects in UseCases http://github.com/marekj/watirloo/ On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 3:24 PM, MatchBook jeffrey.fl...@gmail.com wrote: I played with using the --local option on a computer that has watir already installed.

[wtr-general] Re: installing watir behind a firewall on Windows
Bret, I do believe that all of the necessary gems were copied over; it seems to me that I cannot find the right options to the gem install command to get it to see the gems in the cache directory. I like your all- out method of copying the entire ruby directory, but I may have some trouble since that zip file will contain .exe files. I would be really interested in learning what the proper gem install command would be, in any case (and where the copied gem cache should reside for it to work).

This number is rapidly increasing. To me this is not a practical option. Better would be just to install on a machine with network access and then copy the entire ruby directory.
