why not just create a class and pass the instance of the browser to that
class or something like that its been a while since i have written ruby
###Somewhere
Before do
@browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox
end
###login.rb
class Login
def initialize(browser)
@browser = browser
end
def open_browser_at(destination="www.google.com")
@browser.goto destination
end
end
### Usage
login = Login.new(@browser)
login.open_browser_at
