Selenium Webdriver Zoom with Ruby for Chrome

Question

I am executing automated tests with cucumber and the selenium webdriver connected to Google Chrome and I need to change the zoom at the browser to avoid errors at some automated tests.

The zoom can be changed by pressing the keys Control + '-' or Control + '-' .

In order to simulate the pressing of theese keys I have added a Hook with this code:

Before ('@ChangeBrowserZoom') do
      page = Capybara::page
      page.find("html").send_keys(:control , '+')
      page.find("body").native.send_keys(:control , '+')
end

The hook is been called but it is not working.

Answer 1

Selenium send_keys method call args one by one in your code. For calling it together use square brackets:

Before ('@ChangeBrowserZoom') do
  page = Capybara::page
  page.find("html").send_keys([:control , :add])
end
