click_no_wait doesn't work when called again

[ayanami]

I'm using method click_no_wait to solve the file download case.
The problem is that the first time i use click_no_wait to click a link
then a File Download window can be showed.
but after that I do the same thing again then no File Download window
popup.It like nothing has been done.

the script is like:


ie = Watir::IE.new
ie.goto("An URL")
ie.link(:id,XXXX).click_no_wait #here is normal,with the next
sentence I successfully download a file.
file_download_method

ie.link(:id,XXXX).click_no_wait #nothing happened here...and
also no error occured.if I write "ie.link(:id,XXXX).click" instand
then a file download windows will be showed...
file_download_method

What happens if you add a sleep statement at the location indicated below?

i did this ,but have no effect.

i print some infomation to debug the programme,i found that the second click_no_wait has been executed.

but i wonder why i didn't see the FileDownload Dialog?

What happens if you change the second call to "click_no_wait" to call
"click" instead. Do you get an error? What is the error message?

i've tried.when the second call change to "click",the FileDownloadDialog appeared.
But the method i've made to deal with the FileDownloadDialog won't work,it only works when using "click_no_wait" .

and the programe looks stopped this time.i saw a page with a FileDownloadDialog for a long time.I do not get  any error  .

I understand. The suggestion was made as a way to understand the problem
better, not as a solution. The behavior you describe is correct, but i
was hoping we'd see something else which would give us a clue.

The "click_no_wait" method works by spawning a new process and clicking
the button in that process. The problem with this is that if there is
some kind of error in the click, you won't see any error message,
because the error is occuring in the disposable process.
