Running Tests With the Browser Not Visible:

my_test.rb –b

 

$HIDE_IE =true

ie = Watir::IE.new()

 

How do I get the version numbers of Ruby and Watir?

Go to command prompt.

ruby version: ruby –v

watir version: ruby –e ‘require “watir”; puts Watir::IE::VERSION’

 

How to keep command prompt window open after tests are finished?

Do not run your Watir script by double clicking it. Instead, open command prompt, navigate to folder where script is located and execute the script from there.
