watir-webdriver-rails

watir-webdriver-rails provides a dead-simple way to use Watir with Rails 3.

0.0.7

In your Gemfile, drop the below line

gem 'watir-webdriver-rails'

and type:

bundle install

from your command line and Rails's root folder

In your spec_helper.rb, please place the below lines: (watir-webdriver-rails uses RSpec as the testing framework)

require 'rspec/rails'
require 'watir-webdriver-rails'

WatirWebdriverRails.host = "localhost"
WatirWebdriverRails.port = 57124
WatirWebdriverRails.close_browser_after_finish = true

In your integration test file, it should look something like this:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Test something" do

	it "should go to some page and fill textbox" do
	
		browser.goto "/member"
		
		browser.text_field(:id=>"first_name").set "Tanin"
		browser.text_field(:id=>"last_name").set "Na Nakorn"
		
		browser.text_field(:id=>"first_name").value.should == "Tanin"
	end
end

browser is of type Watir::Browser. You may interact with it freely. See http://rubydoc.info/gems/watir-webdriver/0.3.2/Watir/Browser

On Mac OS X 10.6.8, I have found that if you do not close the browser from the previous test, your current test will hang because the browser is not initialized.

Please do close the browser before running a new test.
