ruby cucumber tests on multiple browsers

I am using windows 10 32 bit ruby version 233, I am facing these issues with running the tests on a ie 11 browser and the chrome browser for the tests(using page object) that are already running on firefox browser,

ISSUE with IE: Watir::Exception::NoMatchingWindowFoundException: browser window was closed (eval):1:in `process_watir_call'

ISSUE with Chrome: Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Failed to open TCP connection to 127.0.0.1:9515 (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. - connect(2) for "127.0.0.1" port 9515)

i have used the following hooks for ie and chrome:

Before do case $browser when 'mozilla' @browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox @browser.window.maximize when 'chrome' @browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :profile => "default" when 'ie' @browser = Watir::Browser.new :ie # @browser.window.maximize # @browser.visible = true else @browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox @browser.window.maximize end

# @browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox # @browser.window.maximize # this file contains test data that needs to be changed if tests are being executed in a different environment $test_data = YAML.load_file('features/support/input_data/data/login_information.yml') # this file contains base URL that needs to be changed if tests are being executed in a different environment FigNewton.load('default.yml') end

I was able to run a small sample test on a separate project from ruby mine with Watir gem. Is there any way to make it work on the existing firefox tests. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks, Sai
