Description jim_matt 2007-09-24 20:06:42 UTC 
I use Ruby to write test scripts using the Watir gem.  The gem manager shows that Watir is installed, but when I try 
to use autocomplete on a Watir method, none of the Watir methods show up.  When your project "requires" a Ruby gem, 
the gem methods etc. should be included in the autocomplete list.

Hi Jim,
Did you restart the IDE after installing the Watir gem? There's a known problem with just-installed gems not showing up
in code completion until you restart the IDE. 

Assuming code completion still doesn't work after restart, can you show exactly what you were trying to complete? (That
class, the method, and what the immediate code around completion looked like).
Comment 2 jim_matt 2007-09-24 21:49:32 UTC 
Yes, I did restart the IDE.  I have the Watir v 1.5.1.1230 gem installed.

The following code sample should display the problem:

require 'watir'

  $br = Watir::IE.new_process
  $br.goto("http://www.google.com/")
  

Both the new_process or the goto should show up under completion.

I use Netbeans to write watir tests as well, I have the same issues on all machines I use (3 machines, winxp sp2)
I noticed that if I create a new file inside the installed watir gem:
example
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\watir-1.5.3\new_file.rb
the autocompletion works when invoked from that file.
I get a list of methods when I write Watir::IE.

I would really appreciate it being fixed since Netbeans is my main tool for Watir. 
Thanks

code completion -> reassigning to editor
