How can I save a web page in Watir?

Using Ruby and Watir, can I save a web page the same way as doing a right mouse-click and " save page with name "?

I need to save the current web page from a script.

Yes, you can do it with watir. Just open a page and save the browser.html to any destination you want:

b = Watir::Browser.new :phantomjs    # I am using phantomjs for scripted browsing
b.goto 'http://google.com'
File.open('/tmp/google', 'w') {|f| f.write b.html }

I don't know about watir, but I know the way to do it using Selenium Web Driver is using the page source method. Check out the docs for that here: http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/rb/Selenium/WebDriver/Driver.html#page_source-instance_method

using this, you should get the whole source.

You can now save the source, by just creating a new file. I haven't tried this but you can check it out.

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:firefox)
driver.get(URL_of_page_to_save)
file = File.new(filename, "w")
file.puts(driver.page_source)
file.close

Not sure if this saves all elements of the page.

Hope this helped a bit!
