Having at least once tried to run Watir with the wrong Ruby-version, I must declare that a crucial piece of knowledge had to be dug out from the depth of your documentation, while it should have been visible at a prominent spot of your Web-site.
PSE either make sure, that prospective users get the information beforehand or … ;-)
PSE give us a ruby-1.9.x compatible version.
Do not get me wrong. This is not urgent. It just prevented me from quickly getting an impression while I have to stick with other web-testing tools anyway.
Well, Installation page says: “We recommend using Ruby 1.8.6-26 with Watir 1.6″.
@Željko: I can see this information, when I scroll down to the Windows-section… ;-)
which I had no need for.
This is too simple to overlook, especially for people who are used to installing software under Linux. Thanks anyway.
Investigating several testing tools, i came to the Watir-webpage. Just one constructive comment: There’s no obvious, visible overview or featurelist WHAT Watir is capable to do and in which way. So if someone wants to get a very quick comparison between different program-alternatives without installing them, Watir might just be out of game as no quick-overview seems to be possible.
Hi,
Can i get the actual demo tutorial for Watir ?
What do you mean by “demo tutorial”? We have a tutorial (linked on this page).
Hi, Looks good and promising. Congrats. I was told that Watir could be used as a record and replay type of tool – for recording the testcases manually and then replay the recorded testcases. Is this possible? From my little knowledge so far I only see developing scripts to write the manual steps. Thanks.
Watir project does not have a recorder, because we think they do more harm than good. There are a few Watir recorders out there, this is the list of the ones I know about: http://www.delicious.com/zeljko.filipin/watir+recorder
