Attach should wait a reasonable amount of time for a new window to appear.
It should attach to the window when it appears, or else fail after a
reasonable amount of time has passed.
(BTW, IE#wait should also fail after a reasonable amount of time has
passed. Right now it waits forever.)
What is reasonable? The default should probably be about 5 seconds. It
should be set as a configurable option.
To date, we have attached these kinds of configurable options to a
particular IE object. That approach won't work here, because the IE object
doesn't exist until IE#attach has returned.
(I've been wanting to set up configuration options as a separate object for
a while. This situation should be taken into account.)

I have the same problem, but I have not found the solution yet.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Sleep statements and Attach
The code below, for example, is a typical thing that I have to do in our
application.
1) Click on an icon to launch the Select Portfolio window
2) The problem is that it may take the Select Portfolio window a
little while to load,
so I have to add a Sleep parameter otherwise, the attach
statement will fail because it can t find the title
3) Is there a way to do this without using the Sleep statements?
4) Also once I am done with this Select Portfolio, I close it, and
need to reconnect back to the main window of the application to continue
with the script and there again I have to put a Sleep statement.
5) Any help/suggestion you have to handle this is appreciated
ie.frame(main).frame(:name, context_bar).image(:src,
/icon_open.gif/).click
sleep 3
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, Select Portfolio)
#Reconnect back to main frame
sleep 3
ie = Watir::IE.attach(:url, https://test.com/araneae/app;)
