waitsFor support?

[Ivo]

Does jasmine-webos support async testing using waits/waitsFor? My
guess is not since tests that uses these are reported as green even
though it should be failing.

What are you trying to do?

waitsFor should work.

waitsFor works just fine under webOS. Can you post the code that isn't behaving as you expect?

Thanks for the reply guys, what I am doing is straight out of the
docs, copied below:

<snip>
var encryptedPath = '/media/internal/test.xml';
var decryptedPath = '/media/internal/test.dec.xml';
var decryptionServiceProxy = new DecryptionServiceProxy(new
ServiceRequestFactory(logger), logger);
decryptionServiceProxy.decrypt(encryptedPath,
function(content) {
logger.info("Decrypted content: " + content);
decrypted = content;
}, decryptedPath);

waitsFor(function() {
return decryptionServiceProxy.isInQueue(encryptedPath);
}, "Decryption never completed", 10000);

runs(function () {
expect(decrypted).toEqual(expectedDecrypted);
});
</snip>

The test fails and in the logs I see:

<snip>

</snip>

The test fails without waiting for the 10 seconds...then a bit later:

waitsFor waits for the the function to return true; from the function name, I'd expect decryptionServiceProxy.isInQueue() to return true as soon as something is put in the queue.

Thanks Doug!

You are right, I incorrectly evaluating the waitsFor.

I see a different issue now, the test fails with a timeout and I no
longer see the log entry with the decrypted content that used to take
less than a second to complete.

I see dozens of entries with:

and never

qemux86 user.notice LunaSysMgr:
{LunaSysMgrJS}: com.hello.app: Info: Decrypted content: <enc>ThisWas
the expected encrypted content</enc> , palmInitFramework367:2569

I take that back, I added more logging and it looks like the waitsFor
message is printed on every check. Also my expectation does appear to
get run but was failing.

Thanks for the help.
