Is there a known solution to perform Eval (Javascript execution) in Webdriver, Ruby bindings?
The equivalent of the following example in Java.
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id( "foo" ));
String name = (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(
"return arguments[0].tagName" , element)
The equivalent Ruby would be:
name = driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].tagName" , element)
(to get the tag name you could also just call element.tag_name)
Thank you for posting this answer. It helped me a lot. I was googling the whole day to figure out how to execute JavaScript code within Ruby.
@driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element )
By doing so, I was able to scroll into the specific element before click event. This might help others a bit.
I had to use JavaScript alternative because for some reason this wasn't: working for me element.location_once_scrolled_into_view
Thanks.
Selenium::WebDriver::Element to include this on elements, but I couldn't find a way to access the driver w/o passing it in as a required parameter.
