Try this:
require
'watir'
ie =
Watir::IE.start('http://whatever.com/')
ie.maximize
ie.maximize
or
even
ie =
Watir::IE.start('http://whatever.com/').maximize

Subject: [Wtr-general] maximize() question
I've just started evaluating Watir as a possible automation solution to our
company, however have run into a somewhat embarassing problem right out of the
gate. What happens, is when I run the test script the browser window doesn't pop
up in a maximized state. I did some reading, and noticed that there's a maximize
method I can use to bring it to the proper state before I progress with
automation, however I don't seem to be able to incorporate it properly. Below is
a simplified copy of the code I'm trying to run it on (it should look familiar).
How would I implement the maximize() method to get this working properly. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
#includes:
require 'watir' # the watir controller
include Watir
site = 'http://whatever.com/test.jsp'
def logInMethod(site)
#open the IE browser
ie =
IE.new
puts "## Beginning of test: Text Check"
puts " "
puts "Step 1: go to the test site: " +
site
ie.goto(site)
puts "Action: entered " +
site + "in the address bar."
end
logInMethod(site)
