My understanding had been that we were supposed to install Rexml 3.1.3 and then hand copy these over.
Correct.
I recently updated Watir so that it modified the load_path obviating the need for the hand-copying.
Sounds great..
But now it seems that this hand copying is unnecessary. Your doc says we need Rexml 3.1.4. I thought these two files were what was need to upgrade us from Rexml 3.1.3 (which is the latest available) to 3.1.4.
The latest available version of REXML is 3.1.3. This version has some bugs that were related to XPath support in WATiR. Without fixing these bugs we were not able to fire the XPath queries correctly. The two files fix bugs that are related to XPath support in WATiR only. The next version of REXML i.e. 3.1.4 will contain these fixes as well as other fixes for some other bugs . So, these two files are just for making XPath work correctly on top of the current official REXML version, not for upgrading REXML from 3.1.3 to 3.1.4.
I'm guessing (I haven't tried this yet) that if someone were to install a development version of REXML later than 3.1.3, this should work out of the box and no additional files will then need to be used or distributed with WATiR to get XPath to work.
