setSpeed in Selenium WebDriver using Ruby

Question

Is there a way to set the Selenium Webdriver execution speed in ruby.

In perl for selenium 1(RC) there was $sel->set_speed("500");

But due to some constraints of Selenium RC, I had to shift to Selenium Webdriver and had to start using Ruby, and I cannot find the function for the same.

Read somewhere the options "Slow", "Medium" and "Fast" as arguments to set speed in C# and Perl, but not in Ruby.

Note - I do have timeouts set with this @driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 30 but i am looking for execution speed.

Answer 1

The methods to set the execution speed in WebDriver were deprecated for all language bindings some time ago. It is no longer possible to modify the execution speed of the running WebDriver code.
