How to create a Watir report in a .txt file?

Question

I have a little test script to run in Watir that searches "books" on google images and then takes a screenshot of the result.

require "watir-webdriver" browser = Watir::Browser.new :ie browser.goto "http://www.google.com/" puts browser.url browser.a(:text => "Images").click puts browser.title browser.text_field(:name => "q").set "book" browser.button(:value => "Search by image").click browser.screenshot.save 'screenshots\search-results.png' browser.close

However I would also like to include a log in a .txt file of the information I am "putting" into the console.

How would I go about doing this?

The only thing i see you are putting to the console is the title of the web page and the url. Read this : stackoverflow.com/questions/2777802/… — MichaelR

Do you need the puts to go to both the console and file? Or is just going to the file sufficient? — Justin Ko

To do this I used:

require "watir-webdriver" require 'logger' $log = Logger.new('logs\search-books.log') $log.info("** TEST 1 - Search books on google images and screenshot results **") browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome browser.goto "http://www.google.com/" $log.info("** PAGE URL **") $log.info browser.url browser.a(:text => "Images").click $log.info("** PAGE TITLE **") $log.info browser.title browser.text_field(:name => "q").set "book" browser.button(:value => "Search by image").click browser.screenshot.save 'screenshots\search-results.png' browser.close

By using Logger it allows you to create a log file (.log) and insert into it as you go along the script.
