How to use add_backtrace method of Selenium.WebDriver.Remote Package

File inputs are often hidden for styling reasons, which makes them non-interactable. Because of that capybara'sattach_file has an option to make it easier to temporarily make the file input visible/interactable

page.attach_file field, file_path, make_visible: true

That will temporarily apply CSS { opacity: 1, display: 'block', visibility: 'visible' } to the file input element. If that CSS won't make the input visible you can set make_visible to a hash that will rather than true

In this case you should try to perform click using .execute_script as below :-

element = driver.find_element(:xpath, "//li/a[contains(text(), 'Click me')]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

Hope it will help you...:)

use isEnabled(), which will check whether given WebElement is enabled or not :

boolean enabled = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//xpath of the checkbox")).isEnabled();

if you want to check whether the checkbox is checked/selected or not, use isSelected() method as:

boolean checked = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//xpath of the checkbox")).isSelected();

This should work:

require "selenium-webdriver"

profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Profile.new 
profile["intl.accept_languages"] = "de"

caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome(
  platform: "Linux", 
  version: "", 
  'chrome.profile' => profile.as_json['zip']
)

Selenium::WebDriver.for(:remote, 
  url: "http://...@ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub", 
  desired_capabilities: caps
)

You need to use #text method.

browser.find_element(:css,"#total > tbody > tr > td:nth-child(4) > span").text

attribute method is used to get the value of attributes of HTML elements. In your case, there is no attribute called 'value' in span element, thus the method returns nil. For more information read the documentation I linked.

Another option to use RSpec::Retry which adds a retry option for intermittently failing specs.

require 'rspec/retry'

RSpec.configure do |config|
  # show retry status in spec process
  config.verbose_retry = true
  # Try twice (retry once)
  config.default_retry_count = 2
  # Only retry when Selenium raises Net::ReadTimeout
  config.exceptions_to_retry = [Net::ReadTimeout]
end

First, you don't have elements of class div, you have elements of type div. Terminology matters when discussing these things since class is something different in HTML. Second, you mention first row, and first column but only show one html element which makes it very difficult to work out exactly what you're dealing with and trying to actually do.

When you use each to loop through the results of all, text is referencing a single div element. Therefore expect(text).to_have 'Goku'[0] will raise an exception if any div on the page doesn't have the letter 'G' in it (not really sure why you have the [0] there.

Really you have

page.all(:css, 'div').each do |div_element|
    expect(div_element).to_have('Goku'[0])
end

which will never pass because there are going to be hundreds (at least) of div elements on the page which don't include that text (or the letter G)

If what you're really trying to find is elements that are the first child of some other element and contain exactly the text Goku then you could do something like

page.all('* > div:first-child', exact_text: 'Goku')

to find them. If that's not what you're trying to do then please update the question to make it clearer.

You can try using something like this:

data_width = find_element(css: 'div > div > div').attribute("style")

The outcome of that will be width: 50%. To get just the numbers you can use regex:

data_width.gsub(/[^\d]/, '')

And this will just give you 50

A few possible issues:

• First, you mention that you are on WSL2, but the Chrome error you are receiving leads me to believe that you might be on WSL1. I see the same error if I run google-chrome on WSL1, but not on WSL2.

  Double-check that with wsl.exe -l -v. You may need to convert the instance to WSL2 with wsl --set-version <distro> 2.

• Second, running google-chrome like that, even on WSL2, will require an X server. WSL in Windows 10 does not support GUI applications, so you would need to install and configure an X server in Windows. You'll find other questions and answers on that topic, so I won't spend much time on it here, since your real question is about running Chrome headless.

• As long as you are running WSL2 you should be able to run Chrome headless with Watir. It looks like the main thing you are missing is not calling Watir with the headless: true option for Chrome per this doc.

  Here are the steps I took with Watir and Chromedriver. Note that the first line is a fixed version of the directions you linked to, since it requires sudo apt-key add rather than sudo curl:

  curl -sS -o - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add
  sudo bash -c "echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list"
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install -y google-chrome-stable
  google-chrome --version # To check the Chromedriver version to download
  cd ~
  wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/102.0.5005.61/chromedriver_linux64.zip
  
  unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip
  mv chromedriver ~/.local/bin # A directory on your path
  
  gem install --user-install watir 
  
  irb
  

  In irb:

  require 'watir'
  browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, headless: true
  browser.goto 'https://stackoverflow.com/q/72432711/11810933'
  puts browser.title
  

  Which returns the title of your question here.

  It's also possible to use the headless package, as noted on this page.

  Add the following:

  sudo apt install xvfb
  gem install --user-install headless
  

  Then in irb:

  require 'watir'
  require 'headless'
  
  headless = Headless.new
  headless.start
  
  browser = Watir::Browser.new(:chrome)
  browser.goto 'https://stackoverflow.com/q/72432711/11810933'
  puts browser.title
  
  headless.destroy
