[wtr-general] Re: Organization and execution of test cases.
Thank you everyone for your comments. I've gotten watircraft working for me quite well, especially now that new documentation for it has been posted. I don't mind short answers to my questions, as long as people don't mind me asking following up questions if I don't understand what something is. Jarkelen's post was, in fast, the first I had heard of Rake, but a quick google search and it was easy to find documentation for it. So far I have found that this group is -very- friendly to new users, something that I took for granted before making a post or two in a couple other technical sites this week and getting not so friendly responses. So thanks all for your kind help, this group has been an extremely useful resource for me! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.

Although I should have phrased that better. I can see how it might have read as being critical of JArkelen, which what wasn't what I intended when I .started. the response, but after a few edits it obviously ended up that way. My intent had been to provide a little more value to the newer folks who might not be familiar with Rake..Especially since the OP indicated they were 'just getting into watir', I thought a little more detail might be helpful.

And I also believe in the curiosity of people to find things out themselves instead of just telling them exactly how to do it. That's the way I want to learn and find out things myself anyway :-) Cheers, John On Apr 7, 8:29 pm, Bret Pettichord wrote: > Chuck van der Linden wrote: > > > On Apr 7, 6:13 am, JArkelen wrote: > > >> In most cases I use Rake to execute mulitple tests. > > > Which is great advice, but might as well be speaking greek to someone > > just starting work with Watir and Ruby. > > > If you are a programmer type I can probably tell you "Rake is Ruby's > > version of a MAKE file" > > and you'll be able to proceed from that point. > > > If you're a tester like me and never used a make file, you'll probably > > want to do some googling on phrases like 'how to use ruby rake" or > > "ruby rake tutorial" in order for that advice to make sense to you > > Calm down.

The Wiki on that site is being worked on as well, at the moment.

If you are a programmer type I can probably tell you "Rake is Ruby's version of a MAKE file" and you'll be able to proceed from that point.

[wtr-general] Re: Organization and execution of test cases.
Thanks! Is there any documentation available for this anywhere? What's on that site is pretty slim, and there's some questions I don't have answers for (for instance, I can see how to configure it for different environments, but how do I choose which environment I run in?) Anyways, I'm wondering if there is more complete documentation rather than the short "Getting Started" blurb and the short (and incomplete) "Browser Configuration" blurb on that site.

In most cases I use Rake to execute mulitple tests.
