Hi ! I need tour help!

I use a code used to be working but with all changes it looks like is no
longer working.

I try to goole but I haven't find the answer.

I use testgen framework and really doesn't mateer. It looks like I cannot
resize the browser window to different sizez or even to maximize.

Please can one tell me what has been changed and what I should update. I
have no idea where the driver resides now.

I use this

require 'watir'
require "rubygems"

Before do
@browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
puts "................................................."
#have to find out how to maximize the browser - it looks like the old way
no longer working
#@browser.window.maximize #this used to be working

@browser.driver.manage().window().maximize # no longer working
@browser.driver.manage.window.resize_to(900,900) # not working

end

I believe that the problem comes for what package should I require.

I use only
require "watir"

I get an error where the window is not defined.

Do you know what other packages should I require?

A few years ago we used to use:
require 'watir-webdriver'

I am still confused about changes.

hi,

The below code is working for me in Firefox!

@browser.driver.manage.window.maximize
@browser.driver.manage.window.resize_to(900,900)

require 'watir' is enough now, require 'watir-webdriver' is not necessary
now. The recent watir is not a meta gem which doesn't choose betwen
watir-classic and watir-webdriver, it's lies on selenium-webdriver
completely.

Do you know if the ruby version matter?

ruby 2.3.3p22 (2016-11-21 revision 56859) [x64-mingw32]

Please can you double check what ruby version you have.

you don't have use

@browser.driver.manage.window.maximize

because you are invoking the driver to write selenium code but watir giving
you another syntax which will automatically invokes the above code

@browser.window.maximize

The definition of maximize includes the above code, you can see here

def maximize
use { @driver.manage.window.maximize }
end

This is the wrong coding

Right one is below

@browser.driver.manage.window.maximize
@browser.driver.manage.window.resize_to(900,900)
