[Wtr-general] Watir on Rails

[David Schmidt]

Dave,

Very nice!

I notice that your example at http://watir-on-rails.rubyforge.org/ tests 
the URL for the local development Rails app on the default port 
(http://localhost:3000/).  Does your plugin start the web server when 
you do the "rake test:watir" or do you have to ensure that the web 
server is already running?
