Initial steps to get up and running with Selenium RC and tests written in Ruby?

Can someone tell me the exact steps (be specific) to test (write tests and then execute them) a website through Firefox using Selenium RC and the Ruby programming开发者_如何学C language?

I'm new to this and have only done it with Java, Eclipse, and JUnit 4 (and Selenium RC + IDE of course). I'm looking for steps similar to what it took for me to get it up and running with Java.

To get up and running with Java I did the following:

1. Created new Java project in Eclipse.
2. To this projected I added selenium-java-client-driver.jar, selenium-server.jar, and Junit4 Library.
3. Using Selenium IDE I created a test and exported it in the Java language.
4. I created a class in my Java project (in Eclipse) and imported this code; which needed some tweeking.
5. I then click on the "Run " in eclipse and it works great.

Can someone give me comparable steps to get up and running with Ruby and any IDE?

Thank you

I'm going to start from the beginning:

1. Install Ruby - If you're on windows, you can go to rubyinstaller.org and download an installer.. For other OS's, you may already have it installed or have some form of method to install. I don't know those methods, unfortunately.
2. Install Selenium. If you're starting with a new project, use Selenium 2, which is still in beta, but which has a new interface that avoid some of the problems in Selenium 1 (like no cross-domain testing). To do this, go to a terminal shell or a command prompt and type 'gem install selenium-webdriver'.

3. Start a test - you can record it in IDE and convert to Ruby (though that will still be Selenium 1's interface) or code it directly in a text file or an IDE (I use NetBeans Ruby for my tests). The basic code you want is:

   require 'selenium-webdriver'

   @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox ' or :ie or :chrome or any of the other browsers @driver.navigate.to 'http://www.google.com'

   element = @driver.find_element :name, 'q' 'Not sure of this syntax - I have this wrapped in my code element.send_keys "Selenium"

Okay, figured it out.

1. Install ruby.
2. Install selenium ide on FF
3. DL and run the selenium server
4. record a test in the selenium IDE for FF and export it as a ruby file
5. open command line with ruby (confirm by typing "ruby -v") and navigate to this newly exported ruby file
6. run "gem install selenium-client"
7. "ruby your_file_name.rb". And that's it!
