Hi All
I ma trying to call the function written in one script in other script.
But it is giving me the error.

The called script is 2.rb

require 'watir'
def test_b

$ie1 = IE.new

$ie1.text_field(:name, "q").set "pickaxe"
$ie1.button(:name, "btnG").click
#ie.showAllObjects
end

the calling script is 1.rb

require 'watir'
require '2'

class TestCase

  def test_a
  $ie = IE.new
  $ie.goto 'www.google.com'
end
test_b
  end

The error popped is as follows:

./2.rb:4: in 'test_b': uninitialized constant IE(NameError)
        from 1.rb:10

Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I've never used Watir myself, but looking at the API docs it
looks like you should replace references to IE with
Watir::IE.

HTH,

Remember that ruby is interpreted, and code is evaluated line by line

class TestCase
  def test_a
    $ie = IE.new
    $ie.goto 'www.google.com'
  end

test_a is defined but has NOT been executed

  test_b

test_ is invoked here, the code is executed
Since test_a has not been executed yet $ie has not been defined

end

I'd suggest:
class TestCase
  def test_a
    $ie = IE.new
    $ie.goto 'www.google.com'
    test_b
  end
end

Ruby is complaining that there's an uninitialized constant called IE... which means (funnily enough) that it doesn't know what IE means.

This is probably because you're trying to use a constant which is namespaced without the namespace!

also, I think that you probably used to use php, given the nomenclature you're using, and the fact that you're putting $ chars in front of all your variable names.

Don't do this. $ in front of a variable name means it's a global, and I'm fairly sure you don't want globals all through your code.

This is what you probably wanted: (from the watir example page)

ie = Watir::IE.new
