[wtr-general] Re: Please Explain core_tests.rb
Please do not that although you can't run these tests from the gem, you
*can* run them if you pull the development source.
A great way to learn what this code does is to run it and then start
changing lines and see what happens. I do it all the time.

Subject: [wtr-general] Please Explain core_tests.rb
Hello,
my Watir fanatic brethren...
I have been an avid Watir user for more than two years now.
But I've mostly been helping with small web applications,
with consequently small test bases, on and off.
I have a basic question to ask of you experts out there.
I'd like someone to explain to me, each line, each method that is used
in the core_tests.rb file.
I realize it doesn't work anymore after FireWatir integration. But it
seems like a good way to run
Watir scripts when you have a whole suite of them with you.
I mean, I know $HIDE_IE does. I think though that that is the extent
of it.
I'm not really sure what .join does or .unshift does or generally how
the whole script is intended to work together.
Any comments are duly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vivek.
