Upgrading to Snow Leopard

Upgrading was smooth on Mac OS X side. There were however several things I had to deal with:

MacPorts upgrade

I had to delete all ports, install newest version of MacPorts and install required ports back. In the end it was a good opportunity to cleanup stale ports

Gems Update

All gems with binary extensions required upgrading

Selenium Problems

It seems selenium is unable to start Firefox with additional parameters, it was dying with:


dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib
  Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
  Reason: Incompatible library version: Security requires version 9.0.0 or later, but libsqlite3.dylib provides version 1.0.0

I have found solution on Firefox support group. I needed to delete sqlite library from Firefox bundle and replace it with system one.

So, I solved this by changing the Selenium browser from "*firefox" to "*safari".

Works a charm.

There's also a nice how-to for selenium and 10.6 snow leopard on http://www.god-object.com/2009/10/16/user-interface-testing-on-mac-os-10-6-snow-leopard/

Safari is a nice browser - used FF for a while but Safari is definitely where it's at.
