So my question is: How do I get Ruby or Watir to wait around until an object is in a desired state before it can continue?

A secondary question is: How can I tell my Ruby or Watir script that if it waits too long, it should probably just give up and stop the test there?

Here is one way (this does both):

  def until_with_timeout(timeout) # block
    start_time = Time.now
    until yield or Time.now - start_time > timeout do
      sleep 0.05
    end
  end

This is how you use it:

  until_with_timeout(30) do
    is_biztalk_object_ready?
  end

I'm just adding this method to Watir, since watir also has to do this kind of thing sometimes.

You may also want to look at the Ruby Timeout library.
