I have a Watir script that works against one of my sample sites. I'll
provide that below. There's one part where I have to put a `sleep`
statement. I'm curious how Watir can be used to handle this without the
sleep statement. All of these will not work:
browser.element(:id, "navlist").wait_until(&:visible?).click
browser.element(:id, "navlist").wait_until(&:present?).click
browser.element(:id, "navlist").wait_until(&:enabled?).click
Here is the script:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rspec/expectations'
include RSpec::Matchers
require 'watir'
browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.window.move_to 0, 0
width = browser.execute_script("return screen.width;")
height = browser.execute_script("return screen.height;")
browser.window.resize_to(width, height)
browser.goto 'https://veilus.herokuapp.com'
expect(browser.title).to match 'Veilus'
expect(browser.img(:id, "site-image").exists?).to be_truthy
browser.element(:id, "open").click
browser.text_field(:id, "username").set! "admin"
browser.text_field(:id, "password").set! "admin"
browser.input(:id, "login-button").click
login_text = browser.div(:class, "notice").text
expect(login_text).to eq("You are now logged in as admin.")
sleep 2
browser.element(:id, "navlist").click
browser.link(:id, "stardate").click
expect(browser.title).to match 'Stardate Calculator'
expect(browser.url).to match 'stardate'
expect(browser.img(:id, "stardate-logo").exists?).to be_truthy
browser.quit
You can see the sleep statement there before the navlist is clicked. If you
take out the sleep, the script will fail. As mentioned, the waiting until
aspects do not work because it's never the case that the element isn't
there nor that it isn't visible. It's just that a put a little JavaScript
in place that makes the element pop out after a brief delay.
I'm just curious regarding what the idiomatic Watir solution for this would
be.
