MONKEY PATCH: Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnhandledError (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)

gistfile1.rb

# File: spec/support/capybara_patch.rb
#
# This patch attempts to fix a race condition in the selenium web driver
# Reference: https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=2099

class Capybara::Selenium::Driver
  def find(selector)
    browser.find_elements(:xpath, selector).map { |node| Capybara::Selenium::Node.new(self, node) }
  rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnhandledError => e
    e.message =~ /nsIDOMXPathEvaluator.createNSResolver/ ? retry : raise
  end
end

I still seem to have this issue with this patch :(

I noticed the latest selenium driver version changed the error to Selenium::WebDriver::Error::InvalidSelectorError

Hrrmmm... still working for us. I'l try out the latest driver and report back

Sorry for the really newbie question, but trying this patch with cucumber and getting this error:

Can you help? :(

@khelal I haven't tried this patch with cucumber, only selenium based integration specs. Hopefully this will be fixed upstream soon!

@skiz thx for fast reply and I hope so too. in the meantime, did you have to add a require anywhere in rspec to get it to load or was it automatic? i'm assuming (hoping) it must be the same thing with cucumber..

@khelal, I added it to spec/support which is automatically loaded when using rspec.

@skiz: cool. just had a thought though. cucumber uses rspec right? so if i put it in rspec, it should also work for cucumber no? again, sorry if these are really stupid questions. that's what happens when a non-developer tries to fix something :(
