[rb] - `#all_cookies` Using invalid bitness on IEDriver can return an Error string. Causes NME "A string cannot be mapped"

🐛 Bug Report

This may be an issue with the Driver specifically. The error is informative, but then causes a different error down the toolchain.

To Reproduce

I ran on browserstack Windows 10 IE11 (Which is what generates the problem). However in essence it’s running IE11 tests on a x64 system when it probably only should be running on x32 (Like a nice old Windows 7 or earlier).

Simply call driver.browser.manage.all_cookies

Expected behavior

StandardError “Cannot obtain cookies due to a bitness mismatch”

Actual result

0> cookie_manager.all_cookies
=> undefined method `map' for #<String:0x0000556cb2f5f130>

@bridge.cookies
=> "Could not retrieve cookies. The most common cause of this error is a mismatch in the bitness between the driver and browser. In particular, be sure you are not attempting to use a 64-bit IEDriverServer.exe against IE 10 or 11, even on 64-bit Windows."

Wanting you not to do what exactly? Use the 32 bit driver?

Yep but then that raises a whole new kettle of fish sadly. They’re wanting me not to do that (Long story). I didn’t realise the pi version wasn’t the latest I’ll try a later version
