Since we obviously can't see line numbers, are you sure that rescue is at line 146? Do double check. Something else to try, is to rescue all exceptions and check the class of the exception without the retry.     begin       ..     rescue Exception =\> e       puts "Exception #{e.class} : #{e}"       raise e     end Incidently, just putting retry inside rescue could result in an infinite loop. Best to bound it with a counter. > **···** > > Love U Ruby \ wrote: ---

I am getting the exact same error randomly in my test. I am using selenium-webdriver and cucumber. I am trying to tackle this problem and I have not seen any fix for it yet. > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). ---

It's supposed to stop after a certain amount of time. Otherwise you'll end up with a program which waits indefinitely. If you want to extend the amount of time before a failure: driver.manage.timeouts.page\_load = 300 # 5 minutes > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). ---

Thank you! I will try and look up what other timeouts there are and extend all of them. I am still getting the error but it has not occurred yet for navigating to a page since trying you solution > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). ---

I also added driver.manage.timeouts.read\_timeout = 500 I will update later but after executing my test suite 3 times I haven't seen the error yet. If/When it appears again I will update this. > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). ---

This is also in combination with Joels answer. This is what my timeouts look like driver.manage.timeouts.implicit\_wait = 30 driver.manage.timeouts.script\_timeout = 30 driver.manage.timeouts.read\_timeout = 500 driver.manage.timeouts.page\_load = 60 > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/).
