I gave a talk on Acceptance Testing at RailsConf yesterday, showcasing Watir, Selenium, and Sahi. Since I have a MacBook Pro (and I hadn't installed Parallels/WinXP yet), I wanted to show off FireWatir. Alas, it appears that the JSSH XPI that FireWatir relies upon doesn't work on Mac Firefox. Dave Liebreich from Mozilla was able to get me a Firefox + JSSH build and Chris McMahon was able to get me the latest Watir source built into a gem (can't do that w/o Windows currently), and then I had to comment out any win32 stuff that Watir does when it is require'd, and voila, FireWatir on the Mac. It still suffers from insanely slow performace, but it's a start.
Dave is still working on getting the JSSH XPI for the Mac working, but until then, he has graciously hosted an Intel-only Firefox+JSSH binary here: http://people.mozilla.org/~davel/jssh/ More info here: http://www.daveliebreich.com/blog/?page_id=6 Once he gets the XPI working, he will likely take down the Firefox binary. Thank you everyone working on (Fire)Watir, it's a great tool, and I hope that more work can be done to bring it onto the other browsers.
