I am creating a series of scripts that use Ruby and Watir. Some of them use gems.
One particular gem I use is "numbers and words" which lets you change the value of "5" to "five" or change "1,000,000" to "One Million" etc.
I am experiencing my first conflict of gems and have not been able to sort out if I can make these gems work together or if I will have to give up and use one or the other.
I'm doing this on a Mac Airbook with Yosemite, but have seen the same issue on Mavericks.
Here are my initial local gems when I started.
Initial list of gems:
- ruby 2.2.0p0 (2014-12-25 revision 49005) [x86_64-darwin14]
- bigdecimal (1.2.6)
- bundler (1.7.9)
- bundler-unload (1.0.2)
- executable-hooks (1.3.2)
- gem-wrappers (1.2.7)
- io-console (0.4.3)
- json (1.8.1)
- minitest (5.4.3)
- power_assert (0.2.2)
- psych (2.0.8)
- rake (10.4.2)
- rdoc (4.2.0)
- rubygems-bundler (1.4.4)
- rvm (1.11.3.9)
- test-unit (3.0.8)
I added the gem: watir-webdriver (watir-webdriver-0.6.11)
which also installed:
- websocket-1.2.1
- ffi-1.9.6
- childprocess-0.5.5
- rubyzip-1.1.6
- multi_json-1.10.1
- selenium-webdriver-2.44.0
I also installed the gem: numbers_and_words (numbers_and_words-0.10.0)
which also installed:
- i18n-0.7.0
- thread_safe-0.3.4
- tzinfo-1.2.2
- activesupport-4.2.0
The error only happens in scripts that require "numbers and words", if I take that out and remove code that calls it, all works fine.
Here is some ruby code that will set off the error:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'watir-webdriver'
require 'numbers_and_words'
account_num = 12
last_name = "Smith"
account_num_in_words = account_num.to_i.to_words
last_name = "#{last_name}, #{account_num_in_words}"
@browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
@browser.goto ("https://github.com/kslazarev/numbers_and_words")
When I try to run this I get the following: (note, I've tried this both with and without rvm and with different gem sets.)

This specifically fails at the line that tries to create a new browser.
if I remove references to "numbers and words" it all works fine, but as soon as I require it, code that calls a new Web-driver browser fails.
I'm new enough to where the errors to not immediately point me to how to solve the issue and would appreciate help in finding a solution to keep both gems (though I will also consider alternative gems).
If I remove all code related to numbers_and_words but retain the "require numbers and words" the error will still happen. So just requiring it will prevent me from making a new browser window.
Currently I'll be looking for how to do without it, but hope someone can show me how I can resolve the differences and make it work. Take care and thanks in advance.
