I'm trying to execute Selenium-webdriver code written in Ruby for firefox.
I'm using firefox 45.0.1
because I use ruby 2.1.10
and Selenium-WEbdriver-2.53.4
When I execute Selenium opens firefox, enters address and enters username and password and hits login button. But after that It stays there with loading symbol near login and also browser says
Transferring data from 34.23.23.2
Selenium is stuck here for 5 minutes and then exists saying timeout and gives below error.
**1.1) Failure/Error:**
@browser.span(:text=>'Login').wait_while_present(10000)
Net::ReadTimeout:
Net::ReadTimeout
When I manually open firefox new tab when selenium opens the firefox and try to login manually, I see the same issue. But When I open firefox manually from desktop and login it works. Please tell me what I'm I missing here.
I suspect that some websites detect when a automated test is running and behave differently, also when selenium starts up it uses a default profile and when you open it manualy your profile is loaded. Cant say for sure that's your problem.
