Please be more specific. The instructions are already pretty detailed.

I think I have similar problems with multiple Ruby installations on Mac OS X, leading to strange issues with RubyGems (http://www.railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=23018) and Aptana RadRails (http://forums.aptana.com/viewtopic.php?p=21960).

What is best practice here? To:
1. Delete the OS X files (in /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby)
2. Delete the MacPorts files (in /opt/local/bin/ruby). If so, should I overwrite the OS X files when new versions are released?
3. Keep both but change the path somehow?

Any input would be most helpful.

Thanks,

Tom.

I forgot to say that I already had Leopard installed when I did this and it worked fine. No need to downgrade or reinstall Leopard. It can all be done from the command line using your instructions.

I followed your correct instructions (remove all my gems first) and it worked a treat. Thanks. There were some things left over though so I also had to do the following commands before running the ‘hash -r’:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/gem
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/gem_mirror
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/gem_server
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/gemlock
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/gemri
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/gemwhich
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/update_rubygems
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/rails
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/rake
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails

I tried following your instructions, and the rake task complained like this:

** Invoke selenium:test_with_server_started (first_time)
** Execute selenium:test_with_server_started
rake aborted!
Since Selenium spawns an internal app server, we need ActiveRecord to be multi-threaded. Please set ‘ActiveRecord::Base.allow_concurrency = true’ in your environment file (e.g. test.rb).

Sure enough, I got past the error by adding the suggested line to config/environments/test.rb

The next problem that I ran into was that the selenium server was looking for a binary called “firefox-bin” in my path. I’m running firefox 3 on linux, and it’s binary is just called “firefox”. I fixed the problem by making a symbolic link: /usr/local/bin/firefox-bin -> /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/firefox

After that my test ran fine.

Has anybody found a good way to configure selenium-rc_fu to use specified firefox profiles? I would like to have some tests that check how my app behaves in a browser with javascript enabled, and other tests that verify that the app gracefully degrades without javascript support (e.g. use a firefox profile with javascript disabled.)
