How to Organize Watir Files
My Watir scripts became too big for one file, so I split them in several files. But then number of files became too big so I moved them to folders. Something like this
- conf (folder: yaml configuration files)
— builder.yml
— stager.yml
…
- file (folder: files for upload)
— file.txt
— attachment.txt
…
- lib (folder: files that contain my modules, classes, methods…)
— File.rb
— User.rb
…
- test (folder: files that contain tests)
— all_tests.rb
— core_tests.rb
— file_tests.rb
— user_tests.rb
…
And it works just fine. Just add this code at the top of files that need it (all_tests.rb, core_tests.rb…):
$:.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), “..”, “lib”)
require “file_name”
