In the early days of watir development, we regularly tested
it with both
Native Windows and Cygwin. If you look at the setup.rb in
the unit
tests, you will see one small function that ensured that the
file://
paths we used in the unit testing framework would be correct
in either
environment. You can use either the Windows Ruby or the
cygwin ruby from
within the cygwin environment. It's really just a matter of
the path you
use to access ruby.exe.
Over time, we may have added a few dependencies on Native
Windows in a
few of the Watir methods, but if you run the unit tests,
they should
help you track down any possible problems. Let us know how
it works for you.
I consider Cygwin a supported environment and am happy to
accept bug
reports and patches for it if you turn up any issues.
