I downloaded iwebDriver project and installed it in ipad. The server starts on "http://10.10.10.55:3001/wd/hub". And I want to hit "www.google.com" on it, but I get errors. I am pasting code below and the stacktrace as well.

Note : It works perfectly on iOS simulator but fails on ipad. My iPad version 4.3.3, XCode version is 4.2 and iOS SDK is 5.1

require 'selenium-webdriver'

browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for :remote, :url => "http://10.10.10.55:3001/wd/hub", :desired_capabilities => "ipad"
browser.get "http://www.google.com"

and i am getting error:-

And when I used "https" , I see the following-

The ip that you have in code 10.10.10.55:3001 is your ipad ip address? Are you able to see IWebDriverReady message when you access 10.10.10.55:3001/wd/hub outside ipad? – A.J
Hey, Thanks A.J for looking at it. Yes 10.10.10.55:300/wd/hub is accessible for me outside ipad. 10.10.10.55:3001 is my ipad IP address. I can see there "iWebDriver Ready" message. Works perfectly on iphone actual device also , but not ipad. – rohitkadam19
Hmm..When you installed the iWebDriver in ipad, did you make sure to change the configuration in XCode to "ipad" from "iphone"? – A.J
Yes, I made changes in configuration of Xcode to "ipad" from "iphone". Is the selenium webdriver works for ipad actual device? – rohitkadam19
Yes. It works fine for me.I connect it to a grid and run the tests in grid mode. Only problem is ipad drops wifi connection after a while. Thats a known issue with ipad – A.J

Why selenium-webdriver was not working on ipad :-

  1. My ipad2 version is 4.3.3 and I installed iWebDriver project on same ipad2.
  2. Tried to run simple ruby code, written in question.
  3. Code was giving error, stack trace also pasted in question.

How selenium-webdriver started working on ipad :-

  1. I installed iWebdriver project on 'New ipad' ios version 5.1. also it works on iphone 4S whose version is 5.0

  2. And then ran simple ruby code

    ruby 'selenium-webdriver' driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :remote, :url => "http://10.10.10.88:3001/wd/hub", :desired_capabilities => :ipad

  3. desired_capabilities does not matter, you can give anything :iphone or :ipad

  4. Above ruby code returned me the object and I can do:-

    driver.get "http://www.google.com"

  5. And it worked.
  6. I observed, there is iOS version dependency for selenium-webdriver to work on.

So, the questions are why selenium-webdriver does not work on iOS version below than 5.0 like 4.3.3, 4.3.1 etc.

Thanks everyone who helped me.
