How to specify installation of Firefox to use for watir-webdriver script execution

Question

For testing purposes I have multiple Firefox installations/versions on one machine made by using Utilu FF collection.

If there`s

b = Watir::Browser.new :ff

in test script, it is automatically executed with oldest FF version which is 3.6.22 in my case. I was surprised, because I assumed that by default script will be executed in Windows default browser which is Firefox6 not Firefox 3.6.22.

How to specify which installation/version of Firefox must be used for Watir-webdriver test script execution?

Answer 1

You can specify a path to your firefox executable:

require 'watir-webdriver'
Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox.path = "/path/to/firefox.exe"
b = Watir::Browser.new :firefox

Answer 2

For those using chromedriver use:

Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome.driver_path = "path/to/chromedriver"
