Selenium Webdriver can't find "navigate" element in Ruby-CodePudding

I am new to this so it may be obvious, but I am struggling with getting my test to run the "navigate" element. Or Object. Whatever it is. Here is my code:

require "selenium-webdriver"
require "rspec"

# TEST: Sign up for blog
describe "Blog application" do
  describe "signup to the blog application" do
    it "confirm that a user can successfully signup" do
        driver = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox
        # Go to signup form
        driver.get "https://selenium-blog.herokuapp.com/signup"
        # Fill out and submit form
        username_field = driver.find_element(id: 'user_username')
        username_field.send_keys("user")

There's more to this test but it isn't relevant to my question. What am I missing? Do I need to install another gem or driver? I've searched everywhere for this answer and can't find it.

I've also tried running it with:

driver.navigate.go

and that fails as well. Says it cannot find the "navigate" element.

Thanks for your help!

You are missing initializing of your wanted web driver. However you didn't post your current version of selenium, so I assumed it was last version.
Here is what documentation says about Selenium::WebDriver.

.for(browser) ⇒ Driver
.for(browser, opts) ⇒ Driver

Create a new Driver instance with the correct bridge for the given browser One special argument is not passed on to the bridges, :listener. You can pass a listener for this option to get notified of WebDriver events. The passed object must respond to #call or implement the methods from AbstractEventListener.

So in your case you need to change you driver variable

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:firefox)
# ...

WebDriver docs

Here is the simple code which should help you

require 'selenium-webdriver'

driver=Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox

driver.navigate.to("https://www.google.com/")
