http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html I hear good things about it. I just tried it, and was impressed that it worked when I ran the executible on the same system where I built it. That's something that I haven't been able to get the open source Perl compiler to do. But when I

Okay, sorry, I jumped the gun on rubyscript2exe. I managed to get a full Ruby 1.8.5 install on my XP Embedded box, and I'm getting intermittent segmentation faults with that too. So rubyscript2exe is just faithfully producing the same bug that's in Ruby itself. Is anyone else using Ruby on

I'm having trouble getting a script to tell me accurately when a page has finished rendering. I'm running Watir 1.4.1 with Ruby 1.8.5 on Windows XP Pro SP2. I'm clicking a link that opens a new browser window, then I attach to the window. The attach returns before the contents of the window are

My working hypothesis is that Danny's server only has Basic Auth in place for the first outer document presented to the user, while my server has Basic Auth in place for every document on the server. After exploring what's going on, I think this is likely true. I believe that the server is using

Maybe doing the GUI automation isn't such a bad solution. But let's see if IE gives us this password setting mechanism before we give up. How would we do this? I feel like i've already done this, but i'm not quite sure if you have something specific in mind. You mean GUI automation? I've

To productize it, I'd recommending adding a credentials method like Win32::IE::Mechanize uses. I don't understand the $realm argument in this API. Can you explain? Could we drop it? The realm is described here - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html. It corresponds to the AuthName

w 1. Add time delays between the ie.close and ie.new or ie.start. This will give a chance for the ie.close to really close. 2. Don't close IE -- just reuse the existing client between tests. 3. Create an additional IE. As long as this lives, the IE server will continue to live and you can

Howdy folks. I find myself on a project where I want to use a browser-based test tool to record client-side performance metrics. After playing with several such tools again, Watir again emerged as the tool that I was first able to get a working script with. But along the way, I noticed with
