Testing dynamically added content with Geb

[Antony Jones]

Hi All,

Just thought I'd post another gist in my series of testing Asynchronous front-ends with Geb, as the last gist was far more popular than I had imagined.

The following Gist is an example of how to make assertions on content which is added to the page AFTER your initial page render. For instance an angular-bootstrap modal - it doesn't exist on the page until you trigger it, yet I have a reference to it (with required: false) in my page model. The problem is that once you fire the modal and start asserting, Geb has already decided that it doesn't exist.

Luckily, there is a way to get Geb to refresh its cache of the page once the triggering button has clicked, using the (to:) DSL functionality.

See the gist here:

Cheers,

Antony

Nice, Antony!

Did you ever try this?

modal(wait: true, cache: false) { $('.my-modal').module(ModalDialogModule) }

Kito, cache: false is the default, no meed to specify it explicitly. 

I met with Antony today and explained a flaw in his gist. He promised to post an update here so that everybody can benefit. I will only say that you're on the right track with using waiting on the module here, Kito.

It looks like the updates have not been published.

Marcin, could you share your thoughts / recommended approach on above?
