Ruby Selenium Net::ReadTimeout

Question

I'm running automated tests using Ruby/Cucumber/Capybara/Chromedriver. The automated tests are running by jenkins. Strange thing is that sometimes the browser opens up, but with a black screen and i got Net::ReadTimeout, and the browser not closing, so taking up my Memory. What i would like to achieve is, that if this occurs the browser with black screen must be closed. Any suggestions? Here's the error i got in jenkins:

make sure to start the selenium session only when the application is properly started. — phoet
We are running into this same issue. On ubuntu 14.04 with all the dependencies installed and chrome can be started up in a terminal via xvfb. But when I start it up via ruby (selenium in our case) it just times out with the same stack trace in this question. So far have not found a solution — Shyam Habarakada

Trace where, exactly, this error is coming from in your code, then

begin
    <driver execution code>
rescue Net::ReadTimeout
    @driver.quit
end

This should catch the error and close the session as you desire.

What I've done, is write a separate method to handle errors

def rescue_exceptions
    begin
        yield
    rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchElementError,
            Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError,
            Selenium::WebDriver::Error::StaleElementReferenceError,
            Selenium::WebDriver::Error::ElementNotInteractableError
        <Handle Errors Here>
    end
end

Then this method can be wrapped around other code that may cause issues

def SignIn
    rescue_exceptions {
        <Perform Actions Here>
    }
end
