Specifying exactly what that "complaint" is would help people help
you, but ...

It helps to pay attention to what's actually returned by the method
you're calling. Try using this:

  def by_id
     begin
       @driver.find_element(:id, 'gbqfbax')
    rescue => err
       puts 'Did not find element with Id: gbqfba'
       puts "because of #{err} (#{err.class})"
    end
 end

HTH,
