watir-webdriver dependency in mac?

Question

I have a mac and am using the IDE Ruby Mine. I've tried to install watir-webdriver via the terminal with the code sudo gem install watir-webdriver

Terminal returns: With the release of Watir 6.0, the watir-webdriver gem has changed its name to watir. Update your dependencies to use "watir", "~> 6.0"

Successfully installed watir-webdriver-0.9.9 Parsing documentation for watir-webdriver-0.9.9 Done installing documentation for watir-webdriver after 1 seconds 1 gem installed

If it's an issue with updating my dependencies how do I do that, I cannot find any information online.

In my gems folder I don't see watir installed. I installed cucumber successfully, i see that folder in there but not watir.

My version of ruby is ruby 2.4.0p0

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

You don't have to install watir-webdriver now, Simply install watir which includes watir-webdriver. Currently they have included waiting arragement for each element which is available to you If you install watir, this will not be available to you If you install watir-webdriver separately.

If you write

b.text_field.set 'Hi'

With the installation watir, the above statement will automatically converted to

b.text_field.when_present.set 'Hi'

With the installation of Watir-webdriver, the above statement remains the same.

Note: This recent watir is not a meta gem which chooses between watir-webdriver and watir-classic, this completely lies on watir-webdriver.
