Watir- opinions

[Dana Ucaed]

Hello,

Someone has used Watir for automate testing of web applications?

I want to know opinions because I am disappointed about Selenium.

[Tim Cooke]

No. But I have used Geb and found it to be much more pleasant than Selenium.

Can you share what you didn't like about Selenium? That way you don't get comments/opinions about those same issues in other tools.

Here is the log of a test case:

[09:38:37.950] - Listening on http://localhost:33161/

May 26, 2017 9:38:42 AM org.openqa.selenium.remote.ProtocolHandshake createSession

The statement that would be executed is:

driver.getPageSource())

This message 'The server did not provide any stacktrace information' can't help.
the message don't say the line where is the error.

I want to do debug and to find what is the real issue.

'No such element' it has nothing to do with  

driver.getPageSource())

.

I ask to EdgeTeam and I suggested to use logging.

Thanks Tim.  I will try Geb.

Does Geb support video recording of test cases?

Selenium is not a mature tool, because some selectors goes for some browsers.

For example, cssSelector goes for IE and Edge.(I read other opinions.)

When I run a program in Java, I can receive a runtime exception where it says the line of code where is the exception.

In Selenium I don't know where is the issue.
