    <p>I'm playing with watir for the first time, using <a href="http://www.layeredthoughts.com/automation/how-to-write-your-first-ruby-web-bot-in-watir-scraping-weather-com" rel="nofollow">this site</a> as a guideline. I'm getting an error on a simple program (below) - it fails on the first non-require line as shown.</p> <p>If, instead of running what's shown below, I remove that line, it opens an empty Firefox browser but doesn't follow any other instructions. It never completes, and when I abort it I get a different error.</p> <p>I'd appreciate suggestions on how to proceed, and will be responsive to asks for more information. I'm on a 64-bit Mac. Thanks!</p> <hr> <p>Simple program </p> <pre><code>require 'rubygems' require 'watir' Watir::Browser.default = 'firefox' browser = Watir::Browser.new browser.goto("http://www.weather.com") sleep 5 browser.close </code></pre> <p>Attempt to run program</p> <pre><code>matt$ ruby watir_weather.rb /Users/matt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p385/gems/watir-4.0.2/lib/watir/loader.rb:64: stack level too deep (SystemStackError) </code></pre> <p>Attempt in IRB</p> <pre><code>matt$ irb 1.9.3-p385 :001 &gt; require 'watir' =&gt; true 1.9.3-p385 :002 &gt; Watir::Browser.default = 'firefox' SystemStackError: stack level too deep from /Users/matt/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p385/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/workspace.rb:80 Maybe IRB bug!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
