Are you seeing two instances of the same browser, or two different
browsers? Is there somewhere else in you code that creates a browser?
maybe the issue is not in the stuff you have below but in some other piece
of code, perhaps elsewhere in env.rb or another file in the support
directory. Do a global search of all your code for "Watir::Browser.new"
and see if you find another one somewhere you forgot about or forgot to
remove.
BTW a potential problem I see with your stuff is that you could have env
variables defining more than one browser type and more than one test env,
and if you do you are at the mercy of the order of your ifs as to what gets
used. Even if you set the BETA variable, if the TEST variable already
existed on that system for some reason, it's the one that would get used.
I'd recommend looking for TWO env variables only. I'd call them BROWSER
and TEST_ENV. That way if one already exists, your new one defined at
runtime would override the old one.
Set BROWSER to either "firefox" "chrome" or "phantomjs
Set TEST_ENV to either "dev" "test" or "beta"
Then in env.rb do something like this
$BROWSER_TYPE = ENV['BROWSER']
browser = Watir::Browser.new $ROWSER_TYPE.to_sym
$TEST_ENVIRONMENT = ENV["TEST_ENV"]
case $TEST_ENVIRONMENT
when "test"
$env_dtm = "http://xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq/";
$env_webstore = "http://xxx1.yyy1.zzz1.qqq1/";
when "dev"
$env_dtm = "http://xxx2.yyy2.zzz2.qqq2/";
$env_webstore = "http://xxx3.yyy3.zzz3.qqq3/";
when "beta"
$env_dtm = "http://xxx4.yyy4.zzz4.qqq4/"; or
$env_webstore = "http://xxx5.yyy5.zzz5.qqq5/";
else raise "I don't understand the test environment setting of
#{$TEST_ENVIRONMENT}"
end
I'm creating constants above because sometimes you may need other logic in
code that is conditional based on the browser in use, or the test
environment, so it may be useful to have access to that info inside of
steps, helper methods, data objects, etc If for example there is a test
that must never be run against production, you can guard inside an
appropriate step to make sure that does not take place. (usually that's
controlled by tags, but you can't count on someone executing tests manually
to remember to include the proper exclude tags)
(Note to other readers: some of the above discussion (env.rb, support
directlry, tags, steps) is specific to cucumber, which I gather the OP is
using. If those parts lost you, that's why. in Cucumber the env.rb file
is run first before anything else, so is used to setup test environment,
configuration settings, etc, it's also where most of us using Cukes create
our browser object. )
