AngularJS - how to wait for views to change?

[Dan Baughman]

I'm using the firefox selenium ide for automated web app testing - it is just awesome.

My current app is built in angular - how do I get the firefox selenium ide to wait for views to finish rendering before issuing the next command?

I can always put a wait / sleep command, but I would much rather have it actually just wait until the view is loaded somehow and then perform the action.

Thanks in advance,

Dan B.

In Java you have - 

WebElement element = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("element_id")));

This will wait for 10 sec for the element to be visible before timing out.

That site does not appear to be up for me - it is using the wrong SSL cert name and has a place holder site.

the angular team has a wrapper around webdriver called protractor http://www.protractortest.org/#/ I would suggest giving that a shot I do not recommend using the ide. due to the dynamic behavior of angular.js you would be spending most of you time trying to find work around for behavior that is already supported in protractor

Basically, Protractor  does wait for Angular  to finish rendering the page
```
angular.element(el).injector().get('$browser').
            notifyWhenNoOutstandingRequests(callback);

```

This is a fragment of the Javascript function waitForAngular  that is basically executed in the scope of every FindElement and other methods

You can find Java ports of Protractor in
https://github.com/caarlos0/jProtractor
https://github.com/henrrich/jpagefactory
and C# in https://github.com/bbaia/protractor-net

Please feel free to ask further questions -  i am developer of the java port
