Question

Firewatir: firewatir returns undefined method error in eclipse

Answer 1

A:

As far as I know, Watir does not work with Ruby 1.9. Install Ruby 1.8.

Zeljko, thank you for your suggestion. I was using Ruby 1.9 and you were correct, it did go over so well. Currently trying the Ruby 1.8 version right now.

There are versions of watir that work with ruby 1.9, but I did not want to get you confused.

Answer 2

+1 A:

I solved this by:

gem uninstall activesupport
gem install activesupport --version '=2.3.8'

To allow Watir to run on ruby 1.9.2
install devkit and follow procedures listed here : Ruby Installer at GitHub

gem uninstall win32-api
gem install win32-api --platform=ruby

I tried to create an account to open a bug on Jira twice. Found a bug with Jira, I guess. I'll try again later. Thanks for your attention to this in any case!

http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-454opened ticket WTR-454 per Charley's request.

Cliff 2010-09-01 20:08:47

Cliff, thank you for your reply. Adding require 'active_support'/inflector seem to work with eclipse. I was unaware of the uninstall function in ruby so thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

+1 A:

This appears to be a problem with the latest version of ActiveRecord - 3.0.0. I'd thought that we removed that as a dependency, apparently not. Please file a ticket in Jira and I'll take a look at it.

Charley, thank you for your reply. I'll definitely file a ticket on this matter if it helps.

Answer 4

+1 A:

No need to uninstall activesupport-3.0.0, solved this by specifying required activesupport e.g:

require 'rubygems'    
gem "activesupport","=2.3.8"
require "firewatir"

Answer 5

A:

Cliff's solution above worked for me with Watir 1.6.5, Ruby 1.9.1. I was trying to get get latest version of Watir, 1.6.5, working with any version of Ruby 1.8.7.x to 1.9.1.x and just could not get it working. Cliff's solution was the only thing that worked.

Thanks.

Environment: Windows 7.
