> watir-console broken on Ruby 1.8.7
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: WTR-467
> URL: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-467
> Project: Watir
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Other
> Affects Versions: 1.6.7
> Environment: win 7 running ruby 1.8.7
> Reporter: Alan Baird
>
> When running watir-console with Ruby 1.8.7, I get the following error message:
> {code}
> C:\Users\Alan>watir-console
> C:/ruby/Ruby-187-p302/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.7/lib/watir/irb-history.rb:3:TypeError:
> History is not a module
> {code}
> For some reason, it seems that in 1.8.7, the Readline module has a class
> History inserted in it which is throwing the error message you see (in ruby
> you can't define a Module with the same name as an existing class). I tried
> to see if I could fix this. One fix seemed to be to change line 3 in
> irb-history.rb to use a Class instead of a Module. This doesn't give me the
> error message, but the functionality suggests that it should write my
> commands to 'console.log' - which it doesn't.
> Oddly enough, I couldn't get output to console.log to work at all in 1.8.6.
> I've mainly tested this with Watir 1.6.7 and ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16
> patchlevel 302) [i386-mingw32]. I have no reason to believe that this would
> be any different for previous versions of Watir since the conflict is in
> irb-history.
> WORKAROUND: A very simple/hacky fix is to remove "-r watir/irb-history" from
> the last line (line 7) of watir-console, however, this will disable sending
> irb commands to 'console.log'.
> BTW - I've found Pik to be really useful in testing this behavior on Windows.
