Babu,
I can see why you are confused as the value returned from the method
Watir::IE::VERSION does not match the version of the gem.
Watir::IE::VERSION gives you the version of the IE Browser.
Watir::VERSION gives you the version of Watir.
That said, here are some things to check:
1. What versions of the gem are installed? You can have multiple
versions.
2. Cleanup any unneeded version
3. See what is reported using Watir::IE:VERSION
4. See what is reported using Watir::VERSION
Lets start with step 1.
Use the gem list command to see what versions are installed. For
example:
C:\Users\Joe\workspace>gem list watir
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
watir (1.9.2, 1.6.5)
watir-webdriver (0.3.5, 0.3.2)
Notice that it reports on any gem that contaisn "watir" in its name.
Step 2.
Now use the gem cleanup command to remove the old version.
C:\Users\Joe\workspace>gem cleanup watir
Cleaning up installed gems...
Attempting to uninstall watir-1.6.5
Successfully uninstalled watir-1.6.5
Clean Up Complete
Recheck the versions
C:\Users\Joe\workspace>gem list watir
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
watir (1.9.2)
watir-webdriver (0.3.5, 0.3.2)
watirworks (0.1.4)
Step 3.
Now that we know that only the Watir (1.9.2) em is installed lets look
at what Watir::IE::VERSION returns.
C:\Users\Joe\workspace>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'watir'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Watir::IE::VERSION
(irb):3: warning: toplevel constant VERSION referenced by
Watir::IE::VERSION
=> "1.8.7"
Hey that's the version of IE I have installed. Cool!
So now lets get the version of Watir:
C:\Users\Joe\workspace>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'watir'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> Watir::VERSION
=> "1.9.2"
And of course that matches the version of the installed gem!
