I wanted to add that I have always used the Watir gems for installation, and did the 'gem uninstall watir' before installing the new version. However, between the time that the script worked and then ceased to work -- the Ruby and Watir versions were not changed.
Thanks again, Adam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Reed Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 1:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Wtr-general] Script failing today, but worked yesterday? This happens from time to time, but never lasted long enough for me to post a topic about it. I have a script that formats an XML file for easier parsing, and then visits each URL listed in this file and ensures that the page is not dead. This scipt has remained unchanged for around two weeks, and has completed successfully each time it has run. Today, I come into the office and attempt to run it, and am receiving an error about 5 seconds after the script is launched (below). I have not had any new Windows or IE updates, nor have I upgraded Watir or Ruby. I also have a compiled .exe version of this script from ruby2exe that obviously cannot be any different than it was yesterday, and it fails with the same errors. I am running IE7 on Windows XP Pro, Watir 1.5.1.1192 (upgraded today from 1145 to troubleshoot -- error occurs with both), and Ruby 1.8.6-25. I don't believe the code I'm using matters, as the errors I'm getting appear to come from watir itself, but I will post the code if you think it would help. Any ideas?

Think of it like this: Watir is a set of instructions in Ruby for manipulating Windows OLE and COM interfaces. FireWatir removes the OLE/COM stuff and replaces it with the jssh (javascript shell) Firefox extension. SafariWatir removes the OLE/COM stuff and replaces it with Applescript. In practice, this means that some methods available on one platform won't be available on another platform. Also, since these are all separate projects started at different times and growing at different rates, some features that might be shared, won't be shared. For instance, Watir has a built-in page-load timer, but FireWatir does not. These feature-mismatches are something that Bret, Angrez, and others would like to improve. If you were to use Watir and FireWatir in a serious manner and report discrepancies between them here and on OpenQA/Rubyforge, that would be a big incentive to make the projects share more code and more features. _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
