Re: [Wtr-general] hi, Is there a GOTO function for watir

No. Read this important article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_code Please rethink how you structure your code. I *highly* recommend taking a course on Programming Concepts and Design if you haven't done any formal structured programming/scripting in a *long* time. GOTO's bad.

Re: [Wtr-general] Can we use as many variable names without worrying about memory wastage

The number of variables is not going to be a problem. But watch out if you have for instance several arrays with 50,000 elements in each. Those can eat up some memory. Ruby has what's called a garbage collector that handles removing things that the script is done with. -Chris On 3/28/07, vijay

Re: [Wtr-general] watir execution from webserver

areed, I have noticed that paths in ruby are relative to file that is being executed ( i think ). This has caused a couple of head scratching moments on my part while i wonder they files will no longer load using relative paths. I'm not sure this is related to your problem, hope it helps.

Re: [Wtr-general] watir execution from webserver

No I agree, I think it may be related. With this specific application it seems like it should be calling the same path (the app tells me that the path is where I thought it should be), and I've attempted to set the load path in the script as well -- that's why I'm still confused! -Original
