Found elements can't be found (Ruby)

[enfrique]

So I'm using this code:

@links = []

       

       @links << @driver.find_elements(:tag_name => "a")

       

       puts @links

and it returns values like this:

#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x0000010225ec18>

#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x0000010225eb28>

#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x0000010225ea88>

#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x0000010225e998>

#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x0000010225e920>

#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x0000010225e858>

#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x0000010225e7b8>

#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x0000010225e6a0>

#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x0000010225e5d8>

So when the script continues and runs this:

@links.each do |link|

      value = @driver.find_element(:link => link) 

      puts value

I get results like this:

Error: test_cec_top_nav(CecTopNav)

  Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchElementError: Unable to locate element: {"method":"link text","selector":"[#<Selenium::WebDriver::Element:0x..fc06799e5bd009338 id=\"{37c39184-4a46-6940-a3d5-d866310145c7}\">

I was expecting/hoping to get plain-text hrefs that I could refer back to in the remainder of the script, and getting the hex values is fine, but it looks like webDriver can't read it's own handwriting.

What am I missing here?

I would suggest you spend some time learning ruby. 

your error states that you are trying to locate an element using link text and the value you are passing it is a webdriver element...

another thing you are doing is putting a collection inside of an array.
