[wtr-general] Fwd: Retiring OpenQA
The only thing that we still have at openqa is wiki[1]. In the next few weeks and months I will move it to github[2]. Since my time is limited I will move only pages that I think are still relevant. If you want to make sure a page is moved to github please let me know. Or even better, move it yourself. If you need help with moving the page(s), let me know. Željko -- [1] http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR [2] https://github.com/watir/watir/wiki -- Forwarded message -- From: Patrick Lightbody * * You are receiving an email because you have some or all of a project hosted with OpenQA. After almost 10 years, it's time to shut down OpenQA. The main project in OpenQA has always been Selenium, which now runs under it's own infrastructure and brand. Unfortunately, OpenQA's traffic and interest has dwindled to the point where maintaing the website and keeping it up is causing more harm than good. Some of the projects have been inactive for years. Others have already moved on to other places, like GitHub and Google Code. *I have a request*: could you please let me know if you are OK with turning off all services (wiki, website, etc) hosted at OpenQA for your project? Or, if you aren't, let's work on a transition plan for you. My goal is to have the services shut down in the next few months. Thanks for all your effort and I'm sorry OpenQA didn't end up where I had hoped. At the time there weren't great services like GitHub and Google Code, so a combined home for development services (bug tracker, wiki, etc) + like-minded projects made a lot of sense. But today it's much less important due to all these great tools for building software and social networks to promote it. So, reluctantly, it's time to say goodbye to OpenQA :) I appreciate your help in resolving this final matter and putting OpenQA to bed once and for all.

Actually this statement isn't correct either.
b.text_field(:name => "q").exists?
is actually same as:
b.text_field({:name => "q"}).exists?
In other words - it is a method invocation with one argument (a Hash).
On the other hand, this syntax:
b.text_field(:name,"q").exists?
Is a method call with two separate arguments (a Symbol and a String).
Watir supports both syntaxes and converts into Hash one internally for
backward compatibility. This is done in watir-classic in format_specifiers
method
at
https://github.com/watir/watir-classic/blob/master/lib/watir-classic/supported_elements.rb#L184-L191.
There is some similar solution in watir-webdriver too.
Using always a Hash syntax is a recommended way.
Answering the original question, watir is a meta-gem, which will install
and load the gem which works on your platform (watir-classic on Windows and
watir-webdriver on unix systems by default).
So, install Watir and then start using watir-webdriver or watir-classic
depending of your OS and needs.
