Hey gang, I developed a very robust framework for a company in 2009-2011 using watir and converted to watir-webdriver in late 2011- early 2012. During the conversion I had to make many horrible compromises (inserting retry statements, wait statements, etc.), and watir-webdriver still gave false negatives very consistently. It worked so poorly that I no longer trusted the failed test results at all. The app was a normal, relatively small web app, nothing fancy.
In March 2012 I quit and have not looked at watir until this week. I talked with someone today who had similar bad experiences with watir-webdriver and said that it has made great strides in the past 12 months. So my questions are (forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere): Is it true that watir-webdriver has improved significantly in the past 12 months? Watir-webdriver was considered watir 2.0, so when I saw watir-classic, it made me think that maybe it had been created in response to negative feedback on watir-webdriver...? Now it sounds like watir-classic is just an update to watir that makes the syntax more similar to watir-webdriver...? I am curious how anyone else feels about watir-webdriver 12 months ago and watir-webdriver now and if anyone knows the true motivation for watir-classic. I am not asking for a long reply, just quick thoughts... thanks. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.
