Charley Baker commented on WTR-129:
-----------------------------------

This seems like an issue that's already handled by "frameworks" - Taza, Watircraft. I'd recommend closing.

>             Project: Watir
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>            Reporter: Bret Pettichord
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: Future

> Simple test case
>   class MyTest < Watir::TestCase
>     def my_test
>       goto('http://www.google.com')
>       text_field(:name, 'q').set 'ruby'
>       button(:name, 'btnG').click
>       assert(text.include? 'pickaxe')
>     end
>   end
> Putting it all together
> test1.rb:
>       goto('http://www.google.com')
>       text_field(:name, 'q').set 'ruby'
>       button(:name, 'btnG').click
>       assert(text.include? 'pickaxe')
> test2.rb:
>       goto('http://www.google.com')
>       text_field(:name, 'q').set 'watir'
>       button(:name, 'btnG').click
>       assert(text.include? 'Holy Grail')
> From the command line:
>   > watir -t test*.rb
> This would automatically run the tests, creating a testcase wrapper for each test and then executing the combined suite.
> Reusing browsers between tests
> The "automatic" test suites will reuse a browser between tests, blanking the window, and recreate it if necessary. This is really the best way to use Watir. 
> * Possibly provide option to close and reopen between tests, but this is hard to make reliable!
