OperaWatir v0.4.1 is finally out and official! You can try it out using
RubyGems:
% jruby -S gem install operawatir
If you're using an earlier version of OperaWatir, it's highly recommended
that you
upgrade.
This version contains the latest OperaDriver and a great deal of fixes
compared to
the earlier version. The reason it's taken to long to get out is a lot of
compliance
work to get it working properly with Opera's internal testing framework,
SPARTAN.
The full changelog can be seen here:
<URI:https://github.com/operasoftware/operawatir/blob/master/CHANGES>
Among the most interesting features, I'd like to highlight:
* Increased performance on GNU/Linux by about 5-6 times
* (Almost) full compliance with the Selenium test suite
* Full compliance with OperaWatir v0.2.18, which is running on SPARTAN
* Preferences implementation, native access to preferences in
opera:config
* Complete spec suites for internal core and desktop features
* Switch for turning Opera Idle on (--opera-idle)
* Automatic launching of Opera Desktop if no path is given (you can still
use operawatir --manual to bypass)
* Many new APIs, among these: Key API, spatnav API
* Compliance with latest RSpec version
Known issues:
* On Windows, you may have problems running operawatir with the latest
JRuby,
consider downgrading to 1.5.6 or earlier if it's not working
* Long XPath expressions have a tendency to hang
* Issues typing on Opera Mobile
* Incompatibility with Opera SDK builds, consider using the --manual
switch
As always, when you find a bug, please report them to the WTR project in
Opera's
internal BTS or use Github's issue tracker. I'm also on the #watir
channel on IRC
if you need support.
We plan to have more frequent releases in the future. We will announce
patch
releases only on operawatir-users@, but major and minor versions on other
internal
mailing lists as well.
If you prefer using Java, OperaDriver can also be downloaded from Github:
<URI:https://github.com/operasoftware/operadriver/downloads>
(P.S! Keep in mind that operawatir-users@ and wtr-development@ are public
mailing
lists.)
