I installed watir-webdriver gem.
When i ran the script, i am getting an “Extension error” pop up and chrome browser opens indicating chromeDriver server started..

But it is not navigating to the desired web page.

Env:
Windows xp
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]

Sample script which i ran:
#require “rubygems”
require “watir-webdriver”

browser = Watir::Browser.new(:chrome)
browser.goto “http://google.com”
browser.text_field(:name, ‘q’).set “watir-webdriver”

“watir-webdriver”
its giving error some xtension not loaded
when i tried in irb..its not loaded

On the one hand, there's the known overhead of using RubyGems, which may or may not lock another developer into a specific configuration. On the other hand, there's the *unknown* overhead of dealing with versioning issues. You can figure that out, but it is difficult to track down, and costs time. It's a lot of yak shaving, in other words. You trade the ease of use of RubyGems for overhead, and you trade the overhead of keeping track of version conflicts for a smaller memory and CPU footprint. Me, I'd rather incur RubyGems' overhead than the hassle of maintaining my own repository of foreign sources (and quite likely different coding styles from my own, which adds another layer of complexity entirely).
