getting firewatir to run on mac osx: jssh problems
- by z3cko
I am trying to get firewatir to run on Mac OSX Leopard. I have Firefox 3.6rc2 installed but running the most simple script does not work:
require 'rubygems'
require 'firewatir'
ff=FireWatir::Firefox.new
ff.goto("http://mail.yahoo.com")
i am getting the following error
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/firefox.rb:237:in `set_defaults': Unable to connect to machine : 127.0.0.1 on port 9997. Make sure that JSSh is properly installed and Firefox is running with '-jssh' option (Watir::Exception::UnableToStartJSShException)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/firefox.rb:131:in `initialize'
from ./watir-test.rb:12:in `new'
from ./watir-test.rb:12
even when I am trying to start Firefox with the -jssh option, I get an error (although another one)
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -jssh
the error output in that case:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/firefox.rb:125:in `initialize': Firefox is running without -jssh (RuntimeError)
is there any tutorial or hnt to get firewatir actually running on Mac OSX?
