JS-rich login scripts not working on Linux/Ubuntu

I have verified Arachni is working well for a test application (http://zero.webappsecurity.com) on Mac and Ubuntu, for Arachni v1.4 and the nightly from 28 Dec 2016.

However when I run a login script for a JavaScript-rich application, it only works using the nightly on my Mac. Below is the error message using the nightly on Ubuntu. Please let me know whether further information is needed.

Can I see the logins script please?
There shouldn't be any difference across operating systems.

Cheers

Hi Tasos. Here is a summary:

Expected (works on Mac)

Navigate to landing/login page for various app's
App's are listed in dropdown
User selects app from dropdown
Username field and "Next" button appear
User enters username and clicks "Next"
Password field appears
User enters password and signs in

Actual (on Ubuntu)

Navigates to login page (HTML loads but not displayed in screenshot)
Appropriate dropdown option selected (dropdown items not in screenshot but in HTML)
Arachni attempts to locate username text field, but it does not load (not even in the HTML)

Below are the login script and snippet of HTML for the dropdown item that is clicked.

browser.goto 'https://my.site.com/login.html'
sleep 15
browser.screenshot.save ("arachni_goto.png")
# The next dropdown contains a list of web applications that the user wants to log into
browser.button(:id => "id-dropdown").wait_until_present(30)
# The next two screenshots show the dropdown element present, but items in the dropdown list do not load
# However, the dropdown items are present in an html dump (puts browser.html)
browser.screenshot.save ("arachni_dropdown_found.png")
browser.button(:id => "id-dropdown").click
sleep 5
browser.screenshot.save ("arachni_show_dropdown.png")
#  Clicking dropdown option is supposed to load text field for username but does not load text field
browser.label(:id => 'dropdown_option2').click
#browser.div(:id => 'option2').click  # Also tried clicking this element
sleep 5
browser.screenshot.save ("arachni_select.png")
puts browser.html  #  HTML dump shows dropdown elements but no username text field
browser.text_field(id: 'id-username').wait_until_present(30) # <------ Fails at this next step; 

browser.text_field(id: 'id-username').set 'myuserid'
browser.button(id: 'id-continue').click
browser.img(:id => 'id-image').click
browser.screenshot.save ("arachni_click_image.png")
browser.text_field(id: 'id-password').set 'password'
browser.send_keys :enter
browser.a(:id => "my-accounts").wait_until_present(25)
framework.options.session.check_url = 'https://my.site.com/account-summary'
framework.options.session.check_pattern = ""

The following shows the HTML for the dropdown item that is clicked, and is supposed to load the username field:

<div id="option2" tabindex="-1" role="option" class="item-list" ng-click="itemSelected('languageJsonProps.xxxx.xxxx.text', 'App #2')">                   
    <label id="dropdown_option2" class="item-list-label ng-scope" style="float:left; margin-right:5px;" translate-default="App #2" translate="languageJsonProps.xxxx.xxxx.text">App #2</label>                            
</div>

Any chance I can be given access to the webapp?
