I'm building a Selenium/Ruby web bot that clicks on elements. The problem is, sometimes there isn't enough time for the page to load before the bot decides it can't find the element.
What's the Ruby way to get Selenium to wait before performing an action? I would prefer explicit waiting, but I'm fine with implicit waiting too.
I tried to use the wait.until method:
require "selenium-webdriver" require "nokogiri" driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome wait = Selenium::WebDriver::Wait.new(:timeout => 15) driver.navigate.to "http://google.com" driver.wait.until.find_element(:class, "gb_P").click But I'm getting the following error:
Undefined method 'wait' for <Selenium::WebDriver> I also tried:
require "watir-webdriver/wait" ... driver.find_element(:class, "gb_P").wait_until.click but that's also giving me an undefined method error:
undefined method `when_present' for #<Selenium::WebDriver...> 3 Answers

You are using wait as WebDriver function, but it isn't. Try this
element = wait.until { driver.find_element(:class => "gb_P") } element.click Answers 2
Have you tried the when present, to wait for the button (You could also make it wait for a certain div to )
require "watir-webdriver/wait" driver.button(:class => 'gb_P').when_present.click As for implicit waiting
sleep *seconds* or a better way as to not waste time
sleep *seconds* until driver.element(:id/class/etc, 'value').exists? Answers 3
A potential answer is in your stacktrace.
driver.element(:class, "gb_P").when_present.click
