NoMethodError: undefined method `strip' for nil:NilClass about capybara-webkit HOT 6 CLOSED

I have gotten this too, intermittently, but while running through Spork. What happens is that rspec seems to hang, and when I look at the Spork output the last thing is an Installed StopSafariZoomInputManager line (which always appears for me, b/c I have that installed). When I kill the rspec process, then I get this "undefined method 'strip'" error.

I have had bad luck today with this error, having gotten it three times in a row on our CI box. I think maybe the issue is that when the Ruby side tries to hit the webkit server it's getting a nil response? I wonder if the response just isn't coming back fast enough, and whether it would be a good idea, every time the socket is read from, to wait + retry if the response is nil.

Darn. Nevermind... the retry logic I added above in 597b83f doesn't fix the problem after all.

@cmeiklejohn has worked through this with #108, but I'm having issues with getting his tests passing. It's still unclear why this happens sometimes.

This was generally caused by the webkit_server crashing. We've fixed a number of causes of this. If anybody runs into this again, please open a new issue and include debugging output from the :webkit_debug driver.
