> Watir doesn't work on Cygwin [patch]
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: WTR-282
> URL: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-282
> Project: Watir
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Modal Web Dialog
> Affects Versions: 1.6.2
> Environment: WinXP / Cygwin
> Reporter: andyl
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: Soon
>
>
> On Cygwin, I ran into two separate problems that prevented Watir 1.6.2 from
> working.
> First, the 'win32ole.so' file that ships with Watir appears to be
> incompatible with the version that is installed with my copy of Cygwin-
> ruby. (see http://pastie.org/374756)
> An error message 'bad file permissions' was generated when trying to run 'x
> = Watir::IE.new' from within IRB.
> My workaround was to copy the 'ruby' version of win32ole.so into the 'watir'
> directories. (see http://pastie.org/374865)
> Once this was done, another error occured - relating to modal dialogs. (see
> http://pastie.org/374865)
> This was fixed by commenting out 2 lines in the Watir source code:
> File - modal_dialog.rb Line - 65 GetUnknown.call ...
> File - win32.rb Line - 6 GetUnknown = Win32API.new(...
> Once these lines were commented out, watir worked.
> Ideas for fixes:
> - Fix the modal dialog issue with conditional execution:
> GetUnknown.call (...) unless RUBY_PLATFORM == 'i386-cygwin'
> GetUnknown=Win32APUI.new(... unless RUBY_PLATFORM =='i386-cygwin'
>
> - Fix the win32ole issue by not bundling this file in the gem (Brett thinks
> maybe it is not needed??)
> - Cygwin support: run regression tests on cygwin!!
