[🐛 Bug]: Documentation for Remote WebDriver is at odds with deprecation warning.

[v-kumar]

What happened?

Using ruby, for remote driver, the following example gives deprecation warning.

URL: https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/drivers/remote_webdriver/

However, it is not clear how to use Options only instead.

What browsers and operating systems are you seeing the problem on?

ruby selenium web-driver, v 4.8.x

Yes, that code example is very much out of date.

As to the deprecation warning, instead of working with:

options = Remote::WebDriver::Capabilities.chrome

work with:

options = Options.chrome

The object has attribute accessors for each of the things you can change (#browser_version= & #platform_name=), so it should be more straightforward

It's not still clear how to configure the remote browser based on the above information. Is just passing browser: :remote, good enough?

  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new app, browser: :remote, options: options,

I'm not a capybara expert, but this is the example code I have that works: https://github.com/saucelabs-training/demo-ruby/blob/main/selenium-examples/capybara-rspec/spec/spec_helper.rb#L16-L41
