[wtr-general] ie.goto never returns. Page never loads.

[llemirtrauts]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Watir and I'm having an intermittent problem with
scripts hanging when a web page doesn't fully load.

I'm trying to run:-

Watir::IE.start(http://www.igindex.co.uk;)

This sometimes works but sometimes the the start method doesn't return
and the script simply hangs indefinitely so the rest of the script
doesn't run.

The issue with the website in question is probably due to the fact
that it maintains a permanent http connection to stream data. This may
be causing Watir to think the page hasn't fully loaded.

Is there any way to force a Watir script to continue running before it
thinks the page has fully loaded?

thanks,
Stuart

Many thanks for your reply karim.

I'm not sure that the information on this link helps.
This page indicates how to wait if Watir doesn't explicitly wait.

I want to explicitly NOT wait for a page to finish loading, because in
essence the page 'never' loads fully due to the continuous http
connection (comet).

thanks,
Stuart

I found this in a different thread.
It suggests running goto in a different thread, then sleeping for a
few seconds until its likely to have loaded. Its not ideal, but it
works:-

To: Watir General


In these cases I execute command in another thread. If anybody suggest
another usefull method I will be happy :) . Try this:

...
thr = Thread.new {
   ie.goto  javascript:OpenPage();}

sleep(3) #time to wait of javascript popup
thr.kill

puts ie.modal_dialog.html # now must gets here

 Hello All --

 I'm trying to launch a modal dialog using the following code. I
 believe I have to tell the goto to not wait for the page to finish
 loading but I cant find out how.  if it was a button, I could use
 click_no_wait. Is there a goto_no_wait or a way I can tell Watir to
 not wait.  Thanks in advance.

 ie = Watir::IE.new

 loginURL = login.aspx
 puts Opening login page (#{loginURL}) ... 
 ie.goto loginURL
 Watir::Waiter::wait_until {ie.text_field(:name, txtUser).exists?}

 ie.text_field(:name, txtUser).set username
 ie.text_field(:name, txtPassword).set password

 ie.button(:name, cmdLogin).click

 ie.goto  javascript:OpenPage();

 puts ie.modal_dialog.html # never gets here
