i am attempting to create a testing page on a webserver. this testing page will display the results of various tests performed by watir against different websites.
for example, lets say a user wants to run a test on www.example.com. they will navigate to the watir testing page, select the site they want to test and then a watir script will execute on the box running the webserver which will in turn update a file that the testing page will read and display the results. i work within a group of people, all of whom are in various locations and all of whom will need to run healthchecks against different websites. instead of everyone installing ruby and watir on their machines (in some cases not possible, b/c windows is not used) i would like to create one centralized location where everyone can go to execute the healthchecks. i really hope this makes sense. anyway, the problem i am sure you can imagine is that whenever the watir script is executed remotely it hangs b/c it cannot create an instance of internet explorer (at least that is what i am assuming). any one have any ideas how this can be accomplished? i just recently learned of [PsExec|http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/PsExec.mspx], but i have no clue if that will even do me any good. i will begin researching it while i wait for a response to this post. thank you in advance for your help. _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
