Frame.show_frames no longer works. Since frames may contain sub-frames, the "show_frames" method (and probably other "show" methods) should be in module Container rather than class IE:
irb(main):101:0> ie.frame('Main').show_all_frames
NoMethodError: undefined method `show_all_frames' for #<Watir::Frame:0x2ec5d08>
from (irb):101
from ♥:0
After moving show methods to module Container it works fine:
irb(main):004:0> ie.frame('Main').show_frames
there are 6 frames
frame index: 1 name: navigator
frame index: 2 name: cookies
frame index: 3 name: Header
frame index: 4 name: workarea
frame index: 5 name: IFSCommArea
frame index: 6 name: toolbar

IE#Frame.show_frames doesn't work
In any case, we have stopped maintaining the various show_* methods and instead are urging use of the ElementCollections#show methods. E.g use ie.links.show instead of ie.show_links.
That means that the preferred solution is to create a collections class for Frames. This may not be able to be a simple subclass of ElementCollections like the others, however, since frames are different in many ways.
One advantage of these show methods is that they have standard interfaces for configuring their format. Also, because they use well-tested collections objects, they tend to be more reliable. (Many of our show_* methods throw exceptions under particular circumstances.)
