Watir-webdriver issue with options.yml file

Question

I have been using firewatir for quite some time but thinking of switching to watir-webdriver. I was playing with my existing script and getting an error in the IRB when i use watir-webdriver

Here is my code from existing script

require 'rubygems'
require 'watir-webdriver' 
Watir.options_file = 'classes/options.yml'

I am getting a following error

"undefined method `options_file=' for Watir:Module (NoMethodError)"

Can someone point me to the right direction since I am lost on this for couple of days.

Thanks

Answer 1

Watir != Watir-Webdriver. Watir-Webdriver does not support options.yml using options_file, or most likely the options you're setting in it (browser.speed, etc).

You can find a list of available methods, as well as a comparison list of the two here: http://jarib.github.com/watir-webdriver/doc/ .

If you post the options you are setting in that file we can help you determine if they're available in Watir-Webdriver, or how else you use them.

Thanks
