[wtr-general] Re: Trouble testing dynamically-created HTML
I erred in asking two questions here. I'll post the second
separately.

I’ve been having a lot of trouble with stuff that Javascript builds in

counter that with extreme defensiveness.
For example, this extension to Watir::SelectList is meant to bullet-
proof SelectList#select against Javascript that’s building the options
dynamically. It waits until the desired option is included in the
select list before trying to select it, thus:
module Watir
class SelectList
# Wait for option, select it, return whether selected.
alias old_select select
def select(text)
Watir::Waiter::wait_until { self.includes?(text) }
Watir::Waiter::wait_until do
old_select(text)
self.selected?(text)
end
end
end
end
When my test executes and it tries to select, for example,
‘2009.08.03.Mon.16.09.43:Name’, it _occasionally_ causes this failure
(via RSpec):
No option with text of 2009.08.03.Mon.16.09.43:Name in this select
element
C:/test/watir_extensions.rb:93:in `select'
snipped traceback
91 Watir::Waiter::wait_until { self.includes?(text) }
92 Watir::Waiter::wait_until do
93 old_select(text)
94 self.selected?(text)
95 end
So one question is: If self.includes?(text) is true, how can
old_select fail?
Another is: How are other Watir users handling dynamically-created
HTML?
Thanks,Burdette

[wtr-general] Re: Trouble testing dynamically-created HTML
My only explanation would be that the page changes (again) after the
call to includes? returns true but before you select the item.

I just took a quick look at the Watir code (latest from trunk). I see
an include? method but not an includes? method.
