Selenium webdriver ruby: Unable to read text value some times

Scenario:

  1. There is a text in my webpage

  2. I am using xpath to locate it

    myxpath=//table[@id='table44']/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/span[2]

  3. I am trying to get it value using

    value=driver.find_element(:xpath, myxpath).text

But problem is :sometimes it gets value & sometime it doesn't & i am not able to understand the cause of this problem

Any alternative that i can try ?

You can write using explicit wait.

my_xpath = "//table[@id='table44']/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/span[2]"
wait = Selenium::WebDriver::Wait.new(:timeout => 10)
element = wait.until { driver.find_element(:xpath, my_xpath) }
puts element.text
