I have to admit I hadn’t used FireWatir up until this afternoon. I haven’t really had a need and I have had some hesitation due to the separate code repositories.
Bret Pettichord announced recently FireWatir 1.2.1 where FireWatir has been reintegrated with (vanilla) Watir.
I have been meaning to try a flavour of Watir on my new favourite operating system for some time, so I thought this afternoon was an ideal time. I created a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 VirtualBox machine to use.
Running the FireWatir unit tests
Overall I am very impressed. The tests ran a bit slow, especially entering text into text boxes. I had to run a lot of commands using sudo. I’m not sure if it should be this way.
I documented the steps taken to get FireWatir up and running on a fresh Ubuntu image. I also have transferred all the content from the old FireWatir wiki to the Watir wiki now that it has been reintegrated.
I also recorded the results of the unit-tests. I will follow up the few failures when I get time.
Update: Bret pointed out two of the failures were due to pop-up blocking. Fixed now and reran: new results.
Hi , Alister Scott
Is it a place to ask ?
I ‘m looking for automate test tool on FLEX and
firewatir and FunFx seem to fit.
i am followed Installing the FireWatir on http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FireWatir Installation and create testcase like “http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FireWatir Example Script”
but when i run test case i said “undefined method `flex_app’ for # (NoMethodError)”
does you have any idea why?
Please ask this question on the Watir Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general
