Another thing I noticed. Due to the path ending with
\criptDataFile.xls
It appers that the backslash followed by the two characters "cr"
is being interpeted as a Carridge Return. You can see this
in the error message:
No such file or directory - Users/josephfleck/Documents/Download
Docs/ iptDataFile.xls (Errno::ENOENT)
^
Notice the space instead of the characters"cr" indicating
that \cr was interpreted as a Carriage Return, not the first
two characters in the file name "criptDataFile.xls"
So try all these:
1. Use a full pathname, not a relative path (as previously mentioned)
Unless Ruby is running with the Root level of your Mac as it
working
directory, (which I'm pretty sure its not), then the Users
directory will not be a valid relative path.)
2. Remove the backslashes. They are not necessary on Mac/Linus OS,
(as previously mentioned), and may cause issues (e.g. \cr)
3. Always a good idea (as previously mentioned), to upgrade to the
latest version of the gems, (and Ruby if possible)
If you are also running safariWatir you may not be able to upgrade
to Ruby 1.9.x. I don't recall if safariWatir supports 1.9.x yet.
4. The space in the directory name should not be an issue, since the
full path is quoted, but whenever possible using directory
and file names without spaces is always safer.
