Waiting for page load using Watir

[ranjith kumar]

Hello Team,

 

I want my script to wait till a page loads completely or till i find a link/text/object in the page using watir

 

 

Could you please provide me some sample examples for that.

 

Exa:--

Navigate to www.google.co.in...

I want my sctipt to wait til i could see done status in the status bar of my IE.

The same way for waiting till i find the button "search"

 

Please help.

 

Regards,

Ranjith

You can use something like the following to wait until a page element is displayed.

browser.link(:id,"mylink").wait_until_present

this will wait until the element is on the page but will time out if it doesn't appear within 60 seconds.

Ranjith,

If you just want to check that the Status bar text is "Done"
then this loop will work, since Watir can read the Status text
in IE of Firefox.

# Loop until the status bar text is "Done"
while(browser.status != "Done") do
sleep(1)
end
