Re: screen_capture filename

Hi Charley,

 

Thanks for that.

 

Regarding the omission of curly braces, I didn’;t think they were required when referencing a global or instance variable.

According to the ruby pickaxe book anyway ;)

 

Cheers,

Matt

 

 

This is probably some code that needs to be yanked out and put in contrib. I haven't used it and have yet to hear anyone else using it although I'm sure there are some. You might take a look at Aslak Hellesoy's screenshot library. http://blog.aslakhellesoy.com/2006/12/2/getting-screenshots-from-watir
which might make sense to include in Watir vs the screen_capture library since his implementation has unit tests. You can enter a ticket for that in Jira if you'd like. As far as the current function, taking a brief look at it, you've not included curly brackets for evaluation on the time.jpg variable, you might try the following:

screen_capture("time.jpg" target="_blank"> C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\watir_tests\public\images\#{time.jpg}" , true, false)

 or this:

screen_capture("time.jpg" target="_blank"> C:/InstantRails/rails_apps/watir_tests/public/images/#{time.jpg}" , true, false)

which should get converted into the same thing.
