The problem is that our pages have javascript validation. These
actions only result in a post if the javascript validates. We have
tests that hang because the data fails the validation. The
clickAndWait is waiting for a page load that will never happen.
Can you predict that the validation is going to fail, based on the state
of the app at that point in the test? If so, try using "click" rather
than "clickAndWait" at those points.
P.S. This is not a problem with Watir. It only has one click command
and it automatically waits when it should.
How do you get Watir to wait automatically?
It would be fantastic if we could get Selenium to wait when appropriate,
and do away with the "AndWait" hint. I actually had an implementation
of this (waiting automatically) working quite some time back, but it was
based on "onbeforeload" and "onbeforeunload" events which, while they
work in IE and Firefox, are non-standard. We figured there wasn't much
point implementing that solution when restricted Selenium's portability.
