Hey Akshay,

Regarding your previous comment:

As I know time.sleep is not a good idea and I am new to feature test and in
> learning phase, can someone correct/suggest the way to fix those issues.

Although the feature tests already have some sleeps, it’s generally not a
best practice for browser automation. The better way is to use Waits that
the selenium API provides, mainly because they can accept a condition to
poll until fulfilled for rather than blocking the main thread of execution.
http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/waits.html#explicit-waits. With
regards to the  "fe_sendauth" password error . I’d probably would have done
it like so (I haven’t tested this):

WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10)\
    .until(EC.text_to_be_present_in_element(
        (By.NAME, 'password', server_config['db_password']))
)

In general, I ran the tests with the Firefox option and am seeing more
failures than I usually would with Chrome. I don’t feel particularly
strongly about the patch since our team mostly likely won’t be running it
over the course of our development. But I still couldn’t *run* the tests
without modify the code so that the server is up and running before the
browser automation starts. I think that this should be addressed.

Any thing in particular that I can help with regarding this, please let me
know! 😀

Anthony
