This happens due to the fact, that Watir::IE#exists? does just @ie.name =~ /Internet Explorer/, which returns nil or a number.
But, since in Ruby everything except nil or false will be treated as true, then you can still use it as regularly like this: if $browser.exists? # do this else # do that end Jarmo On May 1, 7:24 pm, [email protected] wrote: > I'm curretly attempting to assert whether a browser window is open > before I do anything.
