Running Selenium

Installing webrat and selenium-client

gem install webrat -v0.7.0 gem install selenium-client

Webrat includes a fairly recent Selenium jar (2.0 alpha 1).

Firefox 3.5.7

There are issues with 3.6.x, which may or may not be resolved with the latest Selenium jar (2.0 alpha 2), which isn’t included in Webrat yet anyway.
