The following is the code that I am using to select one particular option from a select tag:

       select = driver.find_element(:id, "lang")
       wait = Selenium::WebDriver::Wait.new(:timeout => 20)
       begin
         all_options = wait.until { driver.find_elements(:tag_name => "option") }
       end
       all_options.each do |option|
             if (option.attribute("value")=="11")
                 option.click
             end
       end

I am using jruby. When I execute the commands line by line in the IRB, there is no problem. But, when I run the whole code together, it gives me an error of unexpected End-of-File encountered. Why am I getting this error? Why does it work when executed command by command and not when it is executed as a whole? How do I overcome this?

The error is as follows-

    You have too many ends:

     begin <--- remove this
     all_options = wait.until { driver.find_elements(:tag_name => "option") }
   end <--- remove this
   all_options.each do |option|
         if (option.attribute("value")=="11")
             option.click
         end
   end

    Or, if you need a rescue:

     begin
     all_options = wait.until { driver.find_elements(:tag_name => "option") }
  rescue
     do someting
  end 
   all_options.each do |option|
         if (option.attribute("value")=="11")
             option.click
         end
   end
