I am new to Ruby and Watir. So far, I have installed Watir-webdriver and
have been able to build a few test cases that open a browser in chrome and
fill/click a few text fields/buttons and submit a form. I am excited to
learn a lot more about Ruby/Watir, and have been catching up on the
podcasts, which I find very informative. I am wondering if all of the
functionality of the Watir gem is already included in Watir-webdriver, or
if I should also be installing Watir given the fact that I'm on Mac OS X.
When I attempt to install Watir, I get the following error: (I didn't
paste in everything as it just repeats "win32" specific messages).
>From what I've researched, Watir is specific to Windows/IE, but I'd like to
confirm whether I need Watir to get the full library. If so, any
suggestions on how to avoid this error?
Thank you, Matt
