ruby - Why am I getting Timeout Error instead of element not present?

Question

I'm testing a web application using page-object gem with selenium Webdriver.

In the home page [Start page] I have a few RSpec verifications. But I'm getting the following error instead of the RSpec exception:

>Timeout::Error (Timeout::Error)
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:146:in `rescue in rbuf_fill'
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:140:in `rbuf_fill'

Does anyone facing this issue?

我对 ruby​​ 不熟悉，没有代码很难回答。但这是我的猜测：

当您尝试访问 DOM 元素时，Selenium 使用显式和隐式等待的概念。所以我猜你在有问题的元素上使用了某种选择器，然后 selenium 尝试找到它。它似乎不存在，因此引发了超时。该行为是预期的。
