Watir Development Gem 1.5.1.1192 Released
Last Changed by Bret Pettichord, May 24, 2007 16:18

A new gem is ready for download, this is the latest pull from Subversion source, tagged at 1.5.1.1192. This gem has a new install process, due to a new dependency on other gems.

After download the gem, execute the following commands in the same directory as the gem:

> gem install win32-process --include-dependencies
> gem install watir

Changes in this release include:

  • Migrated IE.new_process from watir/contrib and improved its reliability. We now recommend IE.new_process over IE.new as a way to avoid numerous errors detailed in http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-150.
  • Added IE.start_process. This works like IE.start, but uses the new_process mechanism to start IE.
  • Added IE.new_window and IE.start_window. This are synonyms for IE.new and IE.start.
  • Added dependency on the win32-process gem.
  • Rdoc updates from Jeff Fry
  • Added IE.each, which iterates through the various IE windows currently open.
  • Updated WindowHelper and watir/dialog to work with IE7
