Watir / Selenium-browser.go在Chrome和Firefox上不断出现TimeOut错误

Question

Got a very annoying problem with Watir webdriver..

I have debugged a little, and found out I always get TimeOut::Error on a simple @browser.goto line, even I can visually see the page has loaded fully...

The scenario is like this: Open a browser, goto a url, click a few links, and then suddenly at one point, the script stops continue browsing, waiting about 30+ seconds and throw errors. Tried both Chrome and FF: Chrome is much worse, normally a 2nd or 3nd link clicking will trigger; for FF, sometimes takes 10+ page browsing...

Bet there is some environment or comparability issue:

jd@deskbox:~$ gem -v

jd@deskbox:~$ gem list|grep webdriver
selenium-webdriver (2.12.0)
watir-webdriver (0.5.3)

Can someone help on this? Source code here:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'watir-webdriver'
require 'pry'

class Search
    attr_accessor :browser, :company_url, :company_name

    def initialize()
        @browser = Watir::Browser.start 'http://www.google.com', :chrome
    end

    def visit_company_home_via_google(company)
        @company_name = company
        @browser.goto "http://www.google.com/search?q=#{company}"
        link = @browser.div(:id=>'ires').link
        return nil unless link.exists?
        @browser.goto link.href
        @company_url ||= @browser.url
        @company_url
    end


    def logoff()
        @browser.close if @browser
    end

end
s = Search.new
puts s.visit_company_home_via_google("github")
puts s.visit_company_home_via_google("Mashable")
puts s.visit_company_home_via_google("Barracuda Networks")
s.logoff

My result is like:

I think there's a bug in Chromedriver that doesn't return the URL correctly. I got your example to work using:

require 'watir-webdriver'

class Search
  attr_accessor :browser, :company_name

  def initialize
    @browser = Watir::Browser.start 'http://www.google.com', :chrome
  end

  def get_company_url(company, url=nil)
    @company_name = company
    @company_url = url
    @browser.goto "http://www.google.com/search?q=#{company}"
    link = @browser.div(:id=>'ires').link
    return nil unless link.exists?
    @company_url ||= @browser.driver.current_url
  end

  def logoff()
    @browser.close if @browser
  end

end

s = Search.new
puts s.get_company_url 'Barracuda Networks'
