Hi Titus You said "when_present" and 'wait_until(&:present?)" does the same thing, which is Waits for element to be present, the former is deprecated and latter is recommended.
Why is that if bot does the same thing Im trying to understand if "wait_until(&:present?)" is in any ways different from "when_present" eventhough its deprecated. Justin also mentioned on version 6.0 of Watir you made changes to automatically wait for elements before taking actions which let us do away ith "when_present". So I still do not understand why we should ever use wait_until(&:present?) at all. Sorry if I sound stupid, becasue there is so much cinfusion around waits :-( Cheers Navi On Tuesday, 11 September 2018 14:52:33 UTC+10, NaviHan wrote: > > This is something that keeps me a bit sceptic when I write and read the > automation code in my project. > This used PageObjects. > > I have seen extensive use of element referces, for example > > button(:add_to_bag, :css => '#add-to-cart') > add_to_bag.element.when_present.click > > > > instead of > > add_to_bag > > which directly clicks the element > > I have also seen extensive use of referencing elements using > <element>.when_present, <element>.wait_until_present etc > > Im confused where we should draw the line when deciding to reference the > element and actually using it(as in directly calling "add_o_bag" in the above > example to click the element. > > Any thoughts? > > > -- -- Before posting, please read https://github.com/watir/watir_meta/wiki/Guidelines-for-Posting-to-Watir-General-Google-Group.
