Thanks for your reply Titus, unfortunately that didn't quite work
require 'watir'
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Capabilities.chrome(chrome_options: {detach:
true})
@b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, desired_capabilities: caps
@b.goto('www.google.co.uk')
:in `<main>': uninitialized constant Selenium::WebDriver::Capabilities
(NameError)
but knowing that it's controlled by the chromedriver has given me an option
to run scripts in firefox which doesn't close, thanks again, G
