Bret, That's excellent, as Alister mentioned, that's a great transition point to watir-webdriver. I've been using the latest 1.8.6.p111, p287 and the latest along with the latest version of 1.8.7 all managed by pik. [1] I think the only thing holding back from fully recommending the latest of these is showModalDialog, otherwise everything else appears to work fine.
There are at least two things I want to take a look at for the next release - removing the ActiveSupport dependency and seeing if there is a different way of getting the IE showModalDialogs without having to use our custom version of win32ole.so. Also there are a lot of open issues, which we need to go through. Volunteers are welcome. :) [1]: http://github.com/vertiginous/pik Charley Baker Lead Developer, Watir, http://watir.com On Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 3:17 AM, Jarmo <[email protected]> wrote: > One of the goals for next version could be the removal of > activesupport dependency.
