Tom,
If you try to execute each line of your script through irb, what kind of
results are you seeing? I was able to execute your script without issue on
my machine here (Windows 7, Ruby 1.8.6, Watir 1.6.5). Part of me is
wondering if what you're running into is some sort of permissions issue.
Here's a copy of my irb session (note: I was also able to run things in a
script without issue):
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\jasonirb
irb(main):001:0 require watir
= true
irb(main):002:0 browser = Watir::Browser.new
= #Watir::IE:0x3ae81a4 url=about:blank title=
irb(main):003:0 browser.goto(http://202.36.68.44/;)
= 1.683
irb(main):004:0 puts browser.url
http://202.36.68.44/
= nil
irb(main):005:0

Subject: [wtr-general] method_missing due to bad html?
Sorry if this is a repeat, but I did search for this issue and didn't
find it. I'm a novice at both Ruby and Watir, as well.
I have a very simple script (part of a much larger script that I'm
trying to resurrect):
require watir
browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto(http://202.36.68.44/;)
puts browser.url
that results in
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.5/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:
465:in `method_missing': unknown property or method
`LocationURL' (WIN32OLERuntimeError)
HRESULT error code:0x800706b5
The interface is unknown. from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
watir-1.6.5/lib/watir/ie-class.rb:465:in `url'
from mytest.rb:6
Originally I thought there was a compatability issue with IE8. But
after removing/reinstalling both Ruby and Watir, I still get this
error. I suspect the html is at issue, as this script obviously will
work with other sites (tested by going to google). But the HTML
validates (so I'm told by the developer). Can anybody provide at
least a direction if not an answer?
Cheers,
Tom
