So Watir-craft was a venture that BretP tried which did not end up working
out for him. The framework was a part of that, and has not been worked on
by anyone since the LLC folded up shop. I was one of the early users of
that framework, but have not used it for a few years. The framework is
open source, so you have a few options open to you:
1. Fork the watircraft project, start debugging and fix things up
yourself. Publish your updates, any other watircraft users will probably
thank you for your efforts. This would likely require the lowest amount of
work re-writing your tests. Potentially the easiest route but potentially
a bit of ruby learning required depending on how much skill you have beyond
basic scripting.
2. Move to a similar framework such as TAZA, which as I understand
things was the basis for a lot of what is in the watircraft framework. I
would tell you more about Taza but I don't know that much about it
3. Move to an entirely different framework that is known to be cucumber
friendly, of which I would suggest two potential candidates
1. Test-factory <http://rubygems.org/gems/test-factory> gem This is
a lightweight Page Object and Data Object framework, designed for Watir.
It plays very well with Cucumber but could be used with Rspec or another
test framework. It is actively being developed by Abe Heward of rSmart
(where I used to work) and I am using it at Climate.com as well. I like
it
a lot, it's simple, does what I need and feels very natural with watir.
2. Page-Objects <http://rubygems.org/gems/page-object> This is a
Page Object framework developed by Jeff 'Cheezy' Morgan at Leandog. It
is
a little heavier and IMHO not as direct, but it also supports Selenium2
in
addition to Watir. It also works well with cucumber.
