We recently noticed issues with Chrome 75+ when having the w3c
option enabled within the Selenium webdriver. It looks like recent Selenium versions don't have any issues with the w3c interface anymore. And starting with Chrome 91 this fix might cause unexpected issues, so you should try to enabled this option again or just remove the following line from you configuration:
options.add_option('w3c', false)
Background: Setting the w3c
option to false will enforce a
legacy mode
Show archive.org snapshot
in Chrome starting with version 91. This results in a different value of input.value
and input.text
(nil
instead of empty string) and will cause unexpected errors with Selenium. You will see errors in your integration tests like below if you are affected by the issue:
The field's content "" did not match "some-text" (RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)
Issue with headless Chrome
After removing the line above in the configuration it could happen that the tests are no longer running in headless mode. Updating the selenium-webdriver
gem to >= 3.13.0
fixed the problem.
Issue with old Capybaras
You may also need to upgrade your Capybara version.
