Betsy,
One of the things to do is to gather info on the execution
environment. Perhaps somewhere during the scripts execution of the
first (working) and second (failing) attempt, something is either
trying to require or include safariwatir, or the browser type
(Watir.options[:browser]) is getting set incorrectly.
Below is code to gather a lot of that info. It prints out info on
Ruby, the O/S, the files Ruby has loaded, and each of the Global
variables defined in Ruby, at that point in the scripts execution.
Temporarily put it into your failing script, once just before the
first (working) invocation of the browser, and then again just before
the second time (the one that raises the safariwatir message). Perhaps
you can't spot a difference. Post the output back here if you wish,
and someone may be able to use it to further assist with this issue.
Also, presuming that you are using Watir1.6.5 is there a reason you
are starting the browser with:
require 'firewatir'
include FireWatir
$ie=FireWatir::Firefox.new
instead of the newer (As described in the CommonWatir Rdoc for the
class Watir::Browser):
require 'watir'
$browser = Watir::Browser.new # Of course you can still name
the global browser $ie instead if $browser if you prefer, as I switch
between IE & FF I prefer to use $browser
You might want to switch over to the newer one and see if that has any
bearing on the issue.
Here's the code I was mentioning:
# Collect information on the execution environment
# Ruby & Browser
puts("RUBY_VERSION: " + RUBY_VERSION)
puts("RUBY_PLATFORM: " + RUBY_PLATFORM)
puts("Browser: " + Watir.options[:browser])
# O/S
puts("\nOS ENV Variables: ")
ENV.each do |key, value| # Loop through the O/S Env variables
puts(" #{key} = #{value}") # Display each variable and its setting
end # End of O/S loop
# Loaded Files
puts("\nRuby Loaded files: ")
$LOADED_FEATURES.each do |value| # Loop through the files
puts(" #{value}") # Display each file
end # End of Files loop
# Global Variables
puts("\nRuby Global Variables: ")
aRubyGlobalVars = global_variables() # Populate array with the Ruby
Global variables
aRubyGlobalVars.each do |key, value| # Loop through the Ruby Global
variables
puts(" #{key} = #{value}") # Display each variable and its
setting
end # End of Variables loop
