For IE Controller:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=241
* Added fix for the RPC intermittent bug that would occur of an instance
of ie/iec was created too soon after a previous one was killed.
Code change to def initialize():
# creating a new IE instance immediately after quiting a previous one
# causes intermittent RPC unavailable errors and other weirdness.
# Make sure to wait 1 second after eating before swimming...
until (Time.now - @@closed_last) > 1; sleep 0.1; end if @@closed_last
immediate preceeds:
@ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')
Any reason we shouldn't add this code to Watir?
-----
I remember complaining about this problem to Chris Morris when i was just a
user of his IE Controller. I think he fixed it. Someone want to check the
history of that project. Chris?
Maybe the answer is to avoid shutting down the COM server until you are
done running tests.
One way would be to reuse the same client with your tests. That is what we
do with the Watir unit tests. Another would be create an invisible ie at
the beginning and not shut it down in the end. If we have one client
reference, closing other ie instances won't also shutdown the server.
