There are several reasons why tests can pass locally but fail remotely. Sometimes the code is run at a different resolution. The debugging process is going to be the same. Read the error message to see what specifically is failing, and look at the full stack trace (use `--backtrace`) to see the exact spot of failure. Create a screenshot at the point of failure to see if anything is obvious (on the wrong page, element is covered by another element, element isn't loaded, etc, etc). If it might be an issue with the driver or the waiting logic, you can turn on the Selenium or Watir logging.
I notice that your version of Chromedriver is not compatible with your version of Chrome (https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.41/notes.txt). As for clearing up the waiting confusion, let's start with, you should never need to use Watir::Wait directly. I'm curious where you are seeing examples for the code you are using because it will not work. This code is waiting for the element after it is already attempting to use the element. Watir::Wait.until {el}.click if el.attribute('title').include? "#{color}" This is probably the code you want: element.wait_until { |el| el.title.include? color } On Mon, Aug 6, 2018 at 6:23 AM NaviHan <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks Titus > > The script again failed in Jenkins box but it passed in local machine.
