watir 1.5.6 and ruby 1.8.6-26
On one of my Vista machines I just reinstalled ruby using 1.8.6-26 (one click installer) and watir 1.5.6
Of course I will need to reinstall all other gems because they perished when I uninstalled ruby 1.8.4-25 (yes, sometimes it’s nice to clean up and start again.)
So Ruby 1.8.9-26 bundles gem 0.9.4. I did not update the gem system (I am not sure if I should or not) and then I did ‘gem install watir’. Here is what we get at the prompt.

I am just not sure what activesupport is needed for here. which gem needs it? (I will look at gemspecs)
So to summarize - to install watir 1.5.6 I also needed to install 4 more gems: windows-pr-0.8.6, windows-api-0.2.3, win32-api-1.1.0 (x86-mswin32-60) and activesupport-2.1.0
we’ll dig deeper to make sure installation went great.
next unit tests.

We recently started using ActiveSupport in Watir itself. The others are all required by Windows-PR.

One more thing. You won’t get that question about the win32api platform if you do a “gem update –system” before “gem install watir”.

Thanks Bret, So do you recommend updating the gem system 1.1.1?
(last time I updated ruby gems it broke my RMagic setup)
I also ran unit tests and I get some javascript errors and JSClicker hangs up. I will write more on that when I am at my other office.
