[watir-webdriver] how to manage timeout for after click event

[Alex Shtayer]

Hi guys

 

I have next situation: When I click on one of buttons in my application, page is loading for more than two minutes and raise exception inside of watir-webdriver click method.

Obviously any waiters (like wait_until something) will not help in this situation, because exception is raised after event, not before action.

 

Code is simple:

browser.button(:type, "submit").click

or

browser.button(:type, "submit").wait_until_present.click

 

Exception:

Check this out.  Although I think waiting for a page to load for 2 minutes borders on unacceptable.

Great. Thanks Dan, I will try that solution

I agree, he must have really loyal customers if they are willing to wait that long for a page to load.

(although truth be told I'm fighting that same performance battle right now with my current employer, so I greatly empathise

[Alex Shtayer]

Solution worked like a charm.

Thanks Dan for it

Regarding delays, yes you absolutely right and I also think that is unacceptable, but I can't do anything, because I just must to run automation scripts on cheaper devices. Customers have much expensive ones:)
