How to use get_device method of Selenium.WebDriver Package

Are you using a ruby version manager? It seems like it is using your default ruby, so if you installed the gem within the scope of the version manager, it won't be seen on system ruby

According to the information you provided the text you are looking for is inside a element so the xpath for this element is something like:
//a[contains(@href,'https://www')]
But since there is also i element inside it, getting the text from a element will give you both text contained in a itself and the text inside the i.
So you should get the text from i that is looking like just a (space) here and reduce it from the text you are receiving from the a.
In case you want to perform this action on all the a elements containing href and i element inside it you can use the following xpath:
//a[@href and ./i]
If there are more specific definitions about the elements you are looking for - the xpath I mentioned should be updated accordingly

describe login do -- looks like problem here

Change it to describe '#login' do

To implement something similar in Ruby, check out this page that goes over that. Thanks to lamont for letting me know in the comments.

You can start chrome using a specific Chrome profile. I am not sure what the ruby implementation would look like, but in python it looks something like:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options as ChromeOptions

options = ChromeOptions()
# more on this line here later.
options.add_experimental_option('debuggerAddress', '127.0.0.1:7878')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=otpions)

In order for this to work you need to do a few things.

manually start chrome from terminal/command prompt with these command line arguments --user-data-dir=/path/to/any/custom/directory/home/user/Desktop/Chromedir --profile-directory="Profile 1" --remote-debugging-port=7878

1. make sure "Profile 1" is already existing in the same --user-data-dir (make sure user Profile 1 has necessary chrome://components/ to run any apps that require those components)
2. you can use any free port in place of 7878 verify that http://localhost:7878 is running and returns value.

This should manually launch chrome with the "Profile 1" profile, and so long as it has logged into the site in question, it will stay logged in like a normal user so long as you follow these instructions to run the tests.

I used this to write a quick netflix bot that clicks the "continue playing" button when it pops up, and it's the only way to get DRM content to play as far as I have found. But it retains the cookies for the login, and also launches chrome with whatever components the profile is set up to have.

I have tried launching chrome with specific profiles before using different methodologies, but this was the only way to really force it to work how I wanted it to.

Edit: There are methods for saving cookie info as well although I don't know how well they work. Check out this link for more info, as my solution is probably not the best solution even if it works.

I had the same issue you had, and I tried a few things to make it runnable, so I'm just copy my answers from my question - LoadError when using Selenium: no such file to load -- spec

First I found Cucumber + Webrat + Selenium guide which is really useful

Second, I removed

require "selenium/rspec/spec_helper"
require "spec/test/unit"

And added

require 'spec_helper'

Where spec_helper is the contained in the spec folder

I also removed all the methods that is append_after

Basically now the test cases runnable, this is not the best solution, but it is what I did do so far.

P.S: need to download the Selenium server from http://seleniumhq.org/download/ and run the server with java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0b2.jar

You need to create a custom profile for Chrome, adjust its settings as desired, then direct Watir to use it by setting the Chrome switches.

args = ['--user-data-dir=/path/to/your/custom/profile']
Watir::Browser.new :chrome, options: {args: args}

This is for firefox 60+ and the new marionette/geckodriver.

After fiddling a lot, this is how I got it working with a custom profile:

$ xvfb-run firefox -CreateProfile test
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Options.new # no profile specified here
options.add_argument "--profile"
options.add_argument "/home/jenkins/.mozilla/firefox/f0jecsmr.test"
@browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, options: options, driver_opts: {marionette_port: 2828}, **capabilities

It is close to how documentation suggests to do with python. It took reading the source to figure out these driver_opts though (or I didn't find relevant documentation).

HTH somebody.

What you want is the is_visible method. Below will wait for 30 seconds to become visible

!30.times{ break if (@selenium.is_visible("locator") rescue false); sleep 1 }

The class on the select element in your html implies that it is hidden, not displayed. WebDriver will not allow you to get the attribute of the element if it is hidden. Try using Javascript to set the element visible, then get it's value.
