Watir and Rails 3.0.X incompatible
----------------------------------
Key: WTR-474
URL: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-474
Project: Watir
Issue Type: Bug
Components: FireWatir
Affects Versions: 1.7.1
Environment: Fedora Core 13, Rails 3.0.5, commonwatir 1.8.0, firewatir
1.8.0
Reporter: Eric Kolve
When creating a new Rails 3.0 project and including firewatir and commonwatir
in the list of gems an error is thrown when accessing a controller. Here are
the repro steps:
gem install rails
gem install firewatir
gem install commonwatir
> rails new testrails
> cd testrails
> echo 'gem "commonwatir"' >> Gemfile
> echo 'gem "firewatir"' >> Gemfile
> bundle install --deployment
> rails generate controller Pages home
> rails server
>From a web browser request the page http://localhost.local:3000/pages/home
The following error is thrown: NoMethodError: undefined method `cache' for
:active_support:Symbol
I tracked this down to this file:
commonwatir-1.8.0/lib/watir/core_ext.rb
def underscore
gsub(/\B[A-Z][^A-Z]/, '_\&').downcase.gsub(' ', '_')
end
The underscore method is added/redefined in the core String class, which Rails
also redefines using ActiveSupport::Inflector, but the underscore methods are
incompatible. If that method is commented out, the above error is no longer
thrown. I'm not sure of a good solution to this. Either rename the method and
refactor all the watir code or depend ActiveSupport.
