Can a watir browser object be re-used in a later Ruby process?

Question

So let\'s say pretty often a script runs that opens a browser and does web things:

require \'watir-webdriver\'

$browser = Watir::Browser.new(:firefox, :prof         


        

Answer 1

You can use DRb like this:
browsers pool:

require 'drb'
require 'watir'

browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
DRb.start_service 'druby://127.0.0.1:9395', browser

gets

and then from test script use this browser:

require 'drb'
browser = DRbObject.new_with_uri 'druby://127.0.0.1:9395'
browser.goto 'stackoverflow.com'
