How to use add_option method of Selenium.WebDriver Package

Chrome 38 does not work when running as system user in Session 0. Normally this occurs because Chrome is launched by a Windows service - in your case Jenkins which is run as a service. This is a known issue. See Selenium issues here and here.

Two solutions:

1. Downgrade Chrome to a version less than 38.
2. Download and install AlwaysUp and configure it to run your Jenkins service as a user other than default system user

The AlwaysUp solution definitely works but has a small licencing cost, or if you're not bothered about the Chrome version you can downgrade it.

gem install nokogiri

You can do the same with the other gems.

Yes, you can do it. Let' assume you to want use Firebug extension..

First download the Firebug xpi file, then use the following code:

profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile.add_extension "../path/to/firebug.xpi"
b = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile

You can use #evaluate_javascript to check this. Something along the lines of

in_view = evaluate_script("(function(el) {
  var rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
  return (
    rect.top >= 0 && rect.left >= 0 &&
    rect.bottom <= (window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight) &&
    rect.right <= (window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth)
  )
})(arguments[0]);", find('div.footer'))
# assert that in_view is true, or whatever you want.

If you use Cucumber, RSpec or Test:Unit as your Ruby test framework, then you can use parallel_test to parallelize the execution ( https://github.com/grosser/parallel_tests )

If all you need to do is press ALT+R using send keys and Ruby this is what you need to do:

require 'win32ole'
skey = WIN32OLE.new('Wscript.Shell')

skey.sendKeys('%{r}') 

Tested the above with ALT+V and selenium and it is working as intended.

Let me know if you still need further help.

Best of luck!

PS. (% stands for ALT), (^ is CTRL)

Is it an element that doesn't appear right away? If so, try:

wait.until { driver.find_element(:css => "#HPSearchInput > form > input.ch-  btn.searchBtn").displayed? }
driver.find_element(:css => "#HPSearchInput > form > input.ch-  btn.searchBtn").

The methods to set the execution speed in WebDriver were deprecated for all language bindings some time ago. It is no longer possible to modify the execution speed of the running WebDriver code.

You didn't specify what error you were getting or what you are trying to do after the click, but it is possible that the click hasn't finished before you attempt to do the next thing. You can use a sleep command to determine if there is an issue, but I highly recommend figuring out what comes next and making an explicit wait for that to occur, rather than just using a sleep statement.
