Hi Angrez,
I tried the steps in your July 8 post, using the XPI for Windows that
you posted on July 3, and got the following results when I tried to
run Firewatir:
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.2/lib/firewatir/
firefox.rb:271:in `set_defaults': Unable to connect to machine :
127.0.0.1 on port 9997. Make sure
that JSSh is properly installed and Firefox is running with '-jssh'
option (Watir::Exception::UnableToStartJSShException)
from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.2/lib/
firewatir/firefox.rb:161:in `initialize'
from benchmark.rb:11:in `new'
from benchmark.rb:11
Also, I couldn't telnet to port 9997. I don't have a development
environment with which to build Firefox, so I'm stuck.
Please help!
Thanks,
Al B.
