Subject: Accessing global variable in Unit Tests

Hi,

I'm having problems using a global variable defined in the my test
class, which then is referenced in the libraries file. I'm using Ruby
1.9.3p392 and test-unit 2.5.4

Here is the code that runs the tests:

require 'rubygems'
gem 'test-unit'
require 'test/unit'
require 'ci/reporter/rake/test_unit_loader'
load '../lib/functions.rb'
require 'watir'

class Test_002 < Test::Unit::TestCase

  include Functions

  class << self
   def startup
      @browser = Watir::Browser.new :ie
      @browser.speed = :fast
    end

    def shutdown
      @browser.close
    end
  end

  def test_001_login
    login('some_url', 'some_user', 'some_passw')
  end
end


And this is part of the library that contains the login function:

require 'rubygems'

 module Functions

  def login(url, user, passw)
    @browser.goto(url)
    ...
  end
end


This is the output:
Started
E
===============================================================================
Error: test_001_login(Test_002)
  NoMethodError: undefined method `goto' for nil:NilClass
(...)
     23:   end
     24:
     25:   def test_001_login
  => 26:     login('some_url', 'some_user', 'some_passw')
     27:   end
     28:
     29: end
===============================================================================
