It is expected for now. selenium-webdriver ruby gem raises the message.

As backwards compatibility, appium ruby gem also has the TimeOutError error to support lower selenium-webdriver version. I'm planning to remove it in switching it to selenium 4 base.
(Or I can remove the message with stopping to support lower selenium-webdriver version.)

appium/ruby_lib_core#175 (Selenium 4 update issue)

[hardik-plume]

i do not plan to switch to selenium4 @KazuCocoa

[KazuCocoa]

You can specify the lower selenium-webdriver version to prevent the message.
Maybe 3.14.1 has no it.

Is there a fix for this problem other than Selenium::WebDriver.logger.level = :error or changing selenium-webdriver version?

[KazuCocoa]

No, so far.

Bump minimal selenium-webdriver version and remove https://github.com/appium/ruby_lib_core/blob/fc7149cbaa199c5bd460d7af49efa2ef09b04243/lib/appium_lib_core/common/base/search_context.rb#L138-L139 is another way.

I checked again. Probably appium/ruby_lib_core#267 prevents the timeout error warning without updating selenium-webdriver dependencies. (I tested a bit on my local)
Could you try it when you have a change?

[KazuCocoa]

I've pushed appium/ruby_lib_core#267 as appium_lib_core (3.10.0)
