Those are good points, we should move this conversation into Watir-dev. I'd love to see more general people on IRC, that goes doubly for anyone who's working on Watir code. I find it much easier to discuss things there at times, this being one. :) Cheers, Charley Baker Lead Developer, Watir,

I need to get a decent windows machine which I haven't had for a while. I'm basically limited to mac only at this point with a horribly limping WinXP image. I'm trying to get something doable in the long term, but aside from being otherwise occupied, this is causing a slowdown in how much I can

My understanding was that the issue with quoting system arguments (which is a ruby bug on everything since 1.8.6p111) came up with the mingw32 releases for launching things in a new ruby process, which watir does for click_no_wait and other no_wait stuff. Did you test no_wait stuff? On Mon, Aug

That's a good point, the modal dialog stuff also likely won't work. Jarmo's pull request for click_no_wait might help in that scenario. If anyone wants to run a quick test for either of those issues, that would be helpful. Charley Baker Lead Developer, Watir, http://watir.com On Mon, Aug 9,

That's the basic idea. There are a lot of changes, some in api between the implementations. Obviously there are several fixes that we'd like to take in, but the core contributors been busy lately with daily work. :) Speaking for myself, this past week has been the first entire week I've been home
