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.

Having Problems?
Running on Windows XP and Internet Explorer prevents you from running the unit tests? If you are using Windows XP with Service Pack 2, you may not be able to run the tests unless you enable active content.
If the website you are testing has active content, the IE browser will block the content. To enable active content perform the following:
- 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
.
Warning! Allowing active content to run in files on your computer is a security risk. You only need that enabled for running unit tests. Do not forget to disable it after unit tests are finished.
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.
