Re: [Wtr-general] Watir, file_field, dojo and VMware
John,Thanks for the update.

Re: [Wtr-general] Watir, file_field, dojo and VMware
I have used VMware with Watir successfully. I've got a WinXP Pro SP2 VMware session that has IE7 Beta 2. On it, I have Ruby 1.8.4 and Watir 1.4.1.I just ran the UnitTest filefield_test.rb and it executed without error. I can't say I really understand what the problem described below is, so I can't offer any suggestions right now.Paul.On 26/07/06, Bret Pettichord [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What is a ruby attach dialog?I'd be surprised if vmWare itself is the source of your problem.
