I didn’t think it would be this easy, but it’s working. I can now run a basic WatiN test on mac os x using mono.

The code is here http://code.google.com/p/mcwatin/. All credit to the WatiN guys, all I did was remove stuff

Here’s what you need to get this running

Mono 2.4 and MonoDevelop preview for mac os x from here
The source code from http://code.google.com/p/mcwatin/
Firefox 3 with JSSH installed.

start firefox up with the following command line

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -jssh

Then run the test. It will work but fail as exceptions are being thrown in the dispose method.

1. Get a subset of WatiN to compile with no PInvokes done

2. Get McWatiN to successfully start firefox. done

3. get McWatiN to run a basic test. done

4. Replace all the windows and IE stuff that was removed with code from Watir.
