Re: [wtr-general] Re: Issue with running watir on cygwin`

2010-01-31 Thread marekj
aha, so at this point I don't know anyone who actually uses the cygwin
package ruby.
I use c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe which is a OneClickInstaller Ruby and I
also use git bash for invoking gem and rake commands.
Basically the git bash is the msys promp on windows, a replacement for cmd.exe.
So is there are reason you need to use the cygwin ruby? or can you
uninstall it. Then install the ruby one click installer and you can
still use cygwin prompt to run all ruby stuff anyway

 I briefly looked at that thread and it looks like he had a Ruby from
 cygwin package and not a RubyInstaller
 when you run 'which ruby' does it return /cygdrive/c/ruby/bin/ruby? or
 /usr/bin/ruby ?
 I've never executed Watir tests with Ruby installed from cygwin, only
 from RubyInstaller for Windows

  I would have responded to that thread but no reply option was

  Was Acro's issue ever addressed. I have the same issue:

  When I try using 'x = Watir::Browser.new', I get a different error
  message:
     NameError: (eval):1:in `klass': uninitialized constant Watir::IE 

  I wanted to use Git Bash but my tests require curb as well and for
  some reason I cannot install that gem via Git Bash so I went with
  Cygwin instead.

  Thanks in advance.

[wtr-general] New proposed Watir project home on the wiki

2010-01-31 Thread Alister Scott
Hi,

Now that we have the latest version of Confluence, I was thinking of
updating the project home page on the wiki.

I wanted to make it more dynamic, so I have come up with a proposal.

The current page is: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home

The new proposed page is: 
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home+%28Proposed%29

Please take a look and let me know what you think, and what you think
could be better.

Cheers,

Alister Scott

[wtr-general] Re: Ads on watir.com

2010-01-31 Thread Alister Scott
I responded on Watir-Development, but I will mirror it here for
consistency sake:

I am personally against advertisements on watir.com, because I think
it
defeats the whole purpose of creating a kick-ass open source tool, if
your
main site for it has advertisements for commercial/proprietary
automated
testing tools (wasn't watir created to avoid using vendorscripts?)

Why is this thought even being raised? Are we short of money or
something?
What are the big costs we need money for? The current web site is
hosted (by
wordpress) for free...

Even if we wanted to run ads on watir.com, we can't because we're
using
wordpress.com. We would need to migrate the blog to our own host and
then
pay hosting costs. It's a bit of a wasted effort in my honest opinion.

I look forward to hearing others thoughts on this matter.

Cheers,

Alister

I vote for the new page. It is more inviting and looks easier to navigate.
