There is no need to use= both “require” and “include” for the class Watir.

http://r= uby.about.com/b/2008/10/23/a-quick-peek-at-ruby-include-vs-require.htm

Also,=

Why do you define ̶= 0;ie” as Global Variable? (using $)

Seems to me it’s= not necessary and you can omit the ‘$’.

Last thing,=

It would be better prac= tice to use:

assert_equal(“Pro= gramming Ruby” , $ie.text)

rather than

assert($ie.contai= ns_text("Programming Ruby") )

Hey all,

I am novice into the world of ruby and trying to do a= simple search with the below program, but I am unable to run and no error i= s thrown. Can somebody help me where I am going wrong?

require 'watir'

include Watir

require 'test/unit'

class Test_google_Search < Test::Unit::TestCase

def search

    test_site =3D 'http://www.google.com'

         = ;

         = ;       $ie =3D IE.new

         = ;

         = ;       $ie.goto(test_site)

         = ;

         = ;       $ie.text_field(:name, "q").s= et("pickaxe")

         = ;       $ie.button(:name, "btnG").cl= ick

         = ;

         = ;       assert($ie.contains_text("Program= ming Ruby") )

         = ;

end

end

you just defined a class, no operation= is performed here.
In this special case, it's a child of Test::Unit, so you could run it with
ruby this_file.rb
or
ruby this_file.rb --name=3Dtest_search

if you rename search to test_search
