  Hey Si,

  Thanks for the ticket. I agree.

  I worked on this a little this week and wanted to let you know it's a priority. If you checkout the latest code, it should fall back to Hpricot for parsing and searching if nokogiri doesn't load. I haven't tested it under JRuby yet though, so there might still be some issues.

  Cheers,

  -Bryan

  Yes, I just upgraded on my linux box and didn't have nokogiri either and I got the same issue, so the failover isn't yet working.

  Unfortunatly I just threw nokogiri on all of my machines so to test it you're going to have to remove the nokogiri method or mock out require :).

  I believe I've resolved the issues with Webrat on JRuby.

  Si -- Nokogiri doesn't distribute the CSS part of the library separately, but there is a Nokogiri gem for JRuby. At the moment, it's good for using the CSS part of the library (which works on JRuby), but not the main Nokogiri stuff (which only works on MRI). nokogiri/css is not (or at least shouldn't be) dependent on the nokogiri core.

  So Webrat requires Nokogiri when run on either MRI or JRuby. On MRI, it uses Nokogiri for everything. On JRuby it uses Nokogiri's CSS support, and then Hpricot + REXML for XML parsing and searching. The hope is that Nokogiri will support JRuby fully soon, and then we can stop using Hpricot and REXML entirely.

  Here's how the code looks now:

  
  if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /java/
    # We need Nokogiri's CSS to XPath support, even if using REXML and Hpricot for parsing and searching
    require "nokogiri/css"
    require "hpricot"
    require "rexml/document"
  else
    require "nokogiri"
    require "webrat/core/nokogiri"
  end
  

  Let me know if you run into any further issues with this. Also, please keep me posted on your use of Webrat with Celerity. If it's workable, I'd like to get it into Webrat proper.

  Cheers,

  -Bryan

  Haven't seen or heard of that issue before. It would be best to open a ticket on the Nokogiri ticket tracker, as they'd be better able to help with the install issue:
