 | The unit tests don't work with the Watir 1.6 gem, as described below. Sorry.
You will need a development environment (Get the source code and unit tests from SVN) to run them. See Running Unit Tests in Development for current procedures. |
 | Unit Tests If you are following the Quick Start Guide, this section is not necessary to get up and running |
Running the Unit Tests
After you have installed Ruby and Watir, you can run the unit tests to verify the installation.
To run the unit tests:
- If you have installed Ruby in its default folder of "C:\Ruby" then in "SciTE" goto:
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir-1.5.x\unittests\core_tests.rb
And press "F5"
- The tests should all run and pass.
- If you receive any errors, try updating your gems with:
gem update
Having Problems?
If you are using Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003, several tests will fail unless you enable active content. To fix this:
- From the browser, select Tools > Internet Options
- Select the Advanced tab
- Under Security, check Allow active content to run in files on My Computer
- Click OK
There is more information on allowing active content.
Additional Problems
- If you have the google toolbar installed, you will need to turn off the popup blocker.
- If you are installing on a new system, you will get a dialog asking about auto-complete. You will have to answer this question before you can run the unit tests.
- The following gems must be installed. (These are installed when you install the watir gem.)
- activesupport
- user-choices
