Jessie et al:

Search and replace "EqualsArray" for "seleniumEquals" and your problems should disappear.

this is per: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SIDE-250

Additionally I've integrated Webrat + Selenium + RSpec + The IDE locally, part of that was just switching "@browser" to "selenium" so that Webrat just drops into Selenium mode and you don't need *another* format to run these tests.

It's not exactly a copy/paste situation, but we'll get there…

Will there be any sort of update? It doesn't seem to work with 1.0.2… I get "TypeError: EqualsArray.prototype is undefined"

(Apologies for delayed reaction)
Just for ease of debugging… It’s so much easier working with HTML tests that can be loaded and stepped through using the Selenium IDE.
In fact the only reason I want the rspec version is for ease of invocation via a continuous integration server such as Hudson. The spec test version is also good because it allows us to use fixtures for each individual test. To do that with HTML version we need to set up a “fixtures URL” for the HTML test to hit before starting the actual test. Unless you know of a better way to reset the data for a HTML test?
I was actually wondering if it would at all be possible to have the test invoked as rpec (taking advantage of fixtures) but have the rspec test delegate to the HTML test? ie, does the API for the Selenium browser (ruby) allow us to inject HTML test code per chance?

Can you tell me a little about why you want to do that? Can’t you just run it with Selenium RC?

How about importing an rspec selenium test into Selenium IDE? … any chance of that?
