Reporter: fourchette
if you try to run the example provided on watir example page using firefox and
cygwin it just does not work
#!/usr/bin/ruby
# Here we see a very simple WATIR script to drive to google and validate a page
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir' # use watir gem
test_site = 'http://www.google.com' # set a variable
Watir::Browser.default = 'firefox'
b = Watir::Browser.new # open the IE browser
b.goto(test_site) # load url, go to site
b.text_field(:name, "q").set("pickaxe") # load text "pickaxe" into search field
named "q"
b.button(:name, "btnG").click # "btnG" is the name of the Search
button, click it
if b.text.include?("Programming Ruby")
puts "Test Passed. Found the test string: 'Programming Ruby'."
else
puts "Test Failed! Could not find: 'Programming Ruby'"
end

$ ruby watir_test.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/firefox.rb:1010:in
`current_os': undefined local variable or method `plateform' for
#<FireWatir::Firefox:0x7fc9ce60> (NameError)
from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/firefox.rb:124:in
`initialize'
from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/commonwatir-1.6.5/lib/watir/browser.rb:65:in `new'
from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/commonwatir-1.6.5/lib/watir/browser.rb:65:in `new'
from watir_test.rb:8
$
the reason for that is because around line 1000 in
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/firefox.rb
the variable platform == 'i386-cygwin', so it can't get caught by select/case
right below.
all you need to change is
at firefox.rb:1000
from
when /mingw32|mswin|windows/i
to
when /mingw32|mswin|windows|cygwin/i
and that's it. nothing else.
$ ruby watir_test.rb
sh: C:Program: command not found
Test Failed! Could not find: 'Programming Ruby'
$
(actually the example fails because i have google in french, but it does work
i dont know what the
sh: C:Program: command not found
is doing in the output (and no the -w is not active, it vomits ugly things
otherwise :))
it would be great to push this change in the next firewatir release so that it
actually supports cywin
