Undefined local variable

I use watir in Radrails for testing my app. Iuse 2 classes in my test,
where is used variable @ie. Here are their code
First class:

    class Title
    def initialize(title,url,ie)
    @title = title
    @url=url
    @ie=ie
    @ie=Watir::IE.attach(:title, @title)
    rescue Watir::Exception::NoMatchingWindowFoundException
    puts ("could not find browser")
    $r.addtoReport(testReport, "check page element", "FAILED", "Page
title " + @title +" not found")
    else
    @ie=Watir::IE.attach(:url, @url)
    end
    end

Second class:

    class Text_pos
    def initialize(text, object,ie)
    @text=text
    @object=object
    @ie=ie
    if @ie.contains_text(@text)
    puts("Test for " + @object + " passed")
    $r.addtoReport($testReport, "check " + @object, "PASSED", "Test for
" + @object + " passed" )
    else
    puts("Test for " + @object + " failed")
    puts (@ie.link(:text => /Exception:/))
    h= @ie.link(:text => /Exception:/)
    $r.addtoReport($testReport, "check " + @object, "FAILED", h.text)
    end
    end
    end
After in test body i executed such commands:

    Text_pos.new("Glossary Of Terms", "login",ie)
    Title.new("Company","http://ec2-50-16-62-110.compute-1.amazonaws.com:9100/bobsworld/BPM/Mtebpm000p0001Form.do?resetFilter_action=",
ie1)
    Text_pos.new("Title", "if page is loaded", ie1)
But get error - `Test for login passed
BPM/try.rb:106:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `ie1' for
main:Object (NameError)`
If i do not use class Title this Text_pos.new("Title", "if page is
loaded", ie1) works ok.

i should first learn how ruby works before you use rails

you never defined your "ie1" variable in your code!

Also the sequence

    @ie=ie
    @ie=Watir::IE.attach(:title, @title)

in class Title is dysfunctional: Argument ie is completely superfluous
and can be removed since it is only written to @ie and @ie is
overwritten immediately afterwards.

Kind regards
