Just use -d webdriver_performance when starting the providers and it should load/expose the relevant gem/methods when executed via the controller.  Let me know how u go.  -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.

The short answer is that tools like watir are great for UI automation and validating end user experience under load. I sometimes use watirgrid to help drive multiple browsers fom different locations. But to generate significant load in terms of things like concurrency/throughput it's much

The headless (ala xvfb) options are tempting, but you're still process bound. In my experiments I've managed to get 3 to 5 headless browsers running before performance suffers on the client side (obviously dependent on size of desktop/VM you're doing this on)... So you still need alot of VMs

Well it appears from the OP error that the return object of Browser#execute_script is a WebDriver::Element.. hence my code is failing as it expects a hash. I'm not sure why this is doing it on Win2K8 R2 with IE9, as I don't have that development platform... but it was tested on Win2K3 with IE9

Hi George, Each grid provider has a hostname attribute e.g. grid = Watir::Grid.new(:controller_uri = 'druby://124.180.42.243:11235') grid.start grid.browsers = [{:name=:WatirGrid, :class=:WatirProvider, :object=#Watir::Provider:0x007ffaf38973d0, :description=A watir provider,

Hi George, it doesn't matter about ruby versions. Your code is incorrect, *browser* doesn't have an array of attributes, browser is the actual browser! To get the grid browsers attributes, you need to call the *browsers* method of the *grid* object. So show me the about of the following in

Essentially what Željko said. Most people that email me about it seem to be using watirgrid to distribute tests over a small amount (less than 10) remote machines. Sometimes in order to speed up tests (manually carved up and distributed) or to run the same test but in different browsers at the

To be honest I'm a little bit sad this has happened! But on the positive side I would like to send out a tremendous THANK YOU to you both for getting Watir to where it is now. That includes integration with firewatir and a solid framework from which to further develop. I feel guilty using
