There's a few funny things about your script. You really only need to require watir or watir-webdriver. If you're using the watir gem it'll either load the watir-classic gem, if you ask it for ie, or watir-webdriver gem if you ask it for chrome or firefox.
Secondly, your syntax for starting a browser is incorrect. It should be .new not .start. browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome As far as handling the alert, you can do something like this after you click on whatever element that causes the spinner to popup. This below will just wait until the dialog goes away. browser.alert.wait_while_present It's nice to see that you're using the wait methods. It seems lots of people who are just starting out end up using sleeps which is bad practice. You can actually collapse two lines into one like below as well. browser.link(:text, "Manage Members").when_present.click On Saturday, April 20, 2013 5:56:08 AM UTC-4, Christian Scheid wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm just starting to use Waitir and have the following issue: The Waitir > script is supposed to execute a search on a KendoUI Grid element which in > turn displays a modal spinner when performing an ajax call to retrieve the > search results.
