Jarmo Pertman commented on WTR-464:
-----------------------------------
I'm not sure that you can uninstall some gem and it's dependencies. And
remember that commonwatir is a dependency for firewatir and watir and not vice
versa.
Same thing is with RSpec 2 for example - you'd have to uninstall every
component of RSpec separately if you'd like to do that.
By the way, you can load specific version of a gem if needed:
{noformat}
C:\Users\jarmo>gem list | grep watir
commonwatir (1.6.7, 1.6.6)
firewatir (1.6.7, 1.6.6)
watir (1.6.7, 1.6.6)
C:\Users\jarmo>irb
irb(main):001:0> gem "watir", "1.6.6"
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require "watir"
=> true
irb(main):003:0> Gem.loaded_specs["watir"].version.to_s
=> "1.6.6"
{noformat}
I think that this is more of a bug/feature request to RubyGems instead than
Watir. In this light closing the issue.
