I installed the new gem 1.5.1.1100 and wanted to test creating separate IE processes.
I took the googleSearch.rb script and added the require statement for the new capabilities as well as changing the Watir:IE.new line to Watir:IE.new_process, and adding an ie.kill at the end.
What happpened was that a new browser window appears and the script stops at the new_process line.
The debug line prints a process id which I cannot find as a running process on my system.
I can only regain control of my command line by hitting CTRL-C and then I get the following stack trace:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Watir Project\1.5.1.bonus\examples>ruby googleSearch_newprocess.rb
Process ID: 7480
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1100/./watir/contrib/ie-new-process.rb:44:in `window': Interrupt
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1100/./watir/contrib/ie-new-process.rb:43:in `window'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1100/./watir/contrib/ie-new-process.rb:67:in `new_process'
from googleSearch_newprocess.rb:23
Seems as if the system is trying to attach to a process that is no longer there and so hangs.
I am on WinXP and running IE 6.0.2900.2180.on SP2.
Am I doing something incorrectly?
Is this a defect that needs to be investigated?

# demo test for the WATIR controller
#
# Simple Google test written by Jonathan Kohl 10/10/04
# Purpose: to demonstrate the following WATIR functionality:
# * entering text into a text field
# * clicking a button
# * checking to see if a page contains text.
# Test will search Google for the "pickaxe" Ruby book
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

# set a variable

# open the IE browser
# ie = Watir::IE.new
ie = Watir::IE.new_process
# print some comments

puts " Action: clicked the Google Search button."

puts "Actual Result: Check that the 'Programming Ruby' link appears on the results page "
if ie.text.include?("Programming Ruby")
puts "Test Passed. Found the test string: 'Programming Ruby'. Actual Results match Expected Results."
else
puts "Test Failed! Could not find: 'Programming Ruby'"
end

puts "## End of test: Google search"
