  Updating -

  Ok, going to 0.8.5 on mechanize didn't solve the problem - can close this ticket for now -

  Yeah this is because mechanize switched to nokogiri which is not entirely 100% compatible with hpricot it seems...

  didn't quite get your update though - first you said it's OK with mechanize 0.8.5, then you said it's not? ~confused~

  Anyway, this is a valid ticket, it should work with >= 0.9.0

  For me it's also working on mechanize 0.8.5 and breaks on 0.9 version.

  Hi,
  I tried the example:
  google_data = Scrubyt::Extractor.define do
  fetch 'http://www.google.com/ncr' fill_textfield 'q', 'ruby' submit
  result 'Ruby Programming Language' end
  google_data.to_xml.write($stdout, 1)
  Scrubyt::ResultDumper.print_statistics(google_data)

  And I still get the error:
  

  undefined method write' for #<String:0xb7551a88> (NoMethodError)

  My gems:
  firewatir (1.6.2)
  hpricot (0.6)
  mechanize (0.8.5)
  scrubber-scrubyt (0.4.30)

  I tried different versions of the gems, but nothing helps.

  Sorry for continuing this, but I'm not able to run the following example:

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'scrubyt'
  
  ebay_data = Scrubyt::Extractor.define do
  
    fetch 'http://www.ebay.com/'
    fill_textfield 'satitle', 'ipod'
    submit
    click_link 'Apple iPod'
  
    record do
      item_name 'APPLE NEW IPOD MINI 6GB MP3 PLAYER SILVER'
      price '$71.99'
    end
    next_page 'Next >', :limit => 5
  end
  

  Gems installed:

  
  builder (2.1.2)
  commonwatir (1.6.2)
  firewatir (1.6.2)
  hoe (2.3.3)
  hpricot (0.6.164)

  I too am still getting errors. I've tried downgrading all gems to the versions mentioned by Rathgar but it just won't work. Really sloppy...

  • Tag set to “fail”
  • Milestone order changed from “0” to “0”

  Its surprising that this ticket is almost 2 years old and the problem still persists. I tried using Scrubyt with various dependent gems as well as Ruby versions.. still no luck. I'm a Ruby noob and can't fix all the errors. Since this is such an old ticket, I'm curious to know what all the previous post authors did? Is there an alternate solution that you found that just does what Scrubyt is supposed to be doing? Any help or guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks!
