Recently I came across open source testing tools used for automating web browsers. The tools I used were Watir and Cucumber.
After running basic installation steps from respective sites, I ran into several issues. I’m just posting the work around for that problems.
Problem 1: After running rake if you see "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" Solution: Don't install Ruby where directory name has spaces in it. Problem 2: no such file to load spec/expectations*,* failed to load features/support/env.rb Solution: If you see something like this, then update/install rspec Problem 3: uninitialized constant Windows::API::Error (NameError) Solution: Happens due to older version of windows-pr gem uninstall windows-pr gem install windows-pr
This method will get all the file/folder names from a windows folder to a text file
the key command here is “>” symbol, which means “create a new file with the screen output”
The syntax is :
C:\>folderpath> dir > filename.txt
Example:
Goto the command prompt from windows
C:\>
C:\>cd foldername or folderpath
C:\foldername>
C:\foldername> dir > filelist.txt
The filelist.txt will be created in the same folder of which the list of files is requested.
To change the location of the txt file
C:\foldername> dir > D:filelist.txt (now it will be created in the D drive)

I ran into weird issue on Mac OS X with Eclipse
My environment:
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.5
Eclipse: 3.4
JDK: 1.6
I changed my default JDK from 1.5 to 1.6 under (/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions).
Then I tried to open Eclipse & threw the following error
NSAddLibrary failed for /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Libraries/libjvm.dylib
Finally I found the solution:
Somehow JDK 1.6 is not supported in Apple’s native format for Java. To resolve this issue
Edit the eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist;
Uncomment the line which points to -vm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java. And you are done
Enable Colors in Mac OS X Terminal:
By default Mac OS X Terminal doesn’t have color support enabled for differentiating file types. If you are coming from Linux background this is really frustrating thing.
In general Unix system support ls –color option to enable console colors. But I found out that the underlying BSD system for Mac OS X doesn’t support this option. Instead of the color they have -G option.
Finally you can fix this color issue by using following command in the terminal
alias ls=’ls -G’
