Summary: Watir 1.4.1 is released with new One-Click and Gem installs
Project: Watir

The Web Testing in Ruby group is pleased to announce the release of Watir 1.4.1. Watir is a Ruby Library for automating web applications using the Internet Explorer browser.

This release includes a few minor updates and two exciting new installers. We have a slick one-click installer that conveniently installs the complete Watir package (libraries, doc, examples) to your
desktop, and we also have a gem that allows for easy remote installation of the Watir libraries.

Thanks to Kingsley Hendrickse for the one-click installer. And thanks to Alex Verhovsky for help with the gem.

Changes in 1.4.1
removed annoying warning message that sometimes appeared
corrected Element#class_name references which has been misnamed Element#style
removed IE#capture_events (didn\'t really work)
added IE#bring_to_front and IE#front?
fixed failing frame tests
remove failing test for disabled images
better rdoc

However, the unit tests would not run. I uninstalled and reinstalled in the C:\Program Files\Watir directory and all is good. I manually created the directory before starting the install.

The error is due to the fact that the install directory (C:\Program Files\Watir) does not exist. I manually created it and the installer worked.

Double clicking watir-1.4.1.exe gives "Error opening file for writing: \watir\AutoItX.chm", clicking Ignore gives same for next file, etc. Eventually, if click Ignore several times, the installation continues.

Files for which the error is shown:

\watir\AutoItX.chm
\watir\AutoItX3.dll
\watir\WindowHelper.rb
\watir\camel_case.rb
\watir\clickJSDialog.rb
\watir\cookiemanager.rb
\watir\exceptions.rb
\watir\screen_capture.rb
\watir\setFileDialog.rb
\watir\testUnitAddOns.rb
\watir\watir_simple.rb
\watir\winClicker.rb

I click "Ignore" for all of these files, after which the installation runs to completion, and gives "Setup completed successfully" message (???)

It's my personal machine.
installation folder: C:\Program Files\Watir
MS Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, SP 2

> ruby --version
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]

I'm reluctant to use this version of Watir until all files are installed correctly ... reverting to version 1.4.

Thanks,

Jeff
