Jarmo Pertman commented on WTR-452:
-----------------------------------
No grudge against using a Timeout module. Although i think that then those
other changes (the ones you didn't want to discuss) should be incorporated also
into Watir. I mean if it has been working for you at Convio then it might work
for others too. But let's increase the timeout to 5 minutes and raise an
exception as it's done in Firewatir.
> adding timeout to #wait

> Key: WTR-452
> URL: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-452
> Project: Watir
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Wait
> Affects Versions: 1.6.5
> Environment: all envs
> Reporter: Jarmo Pertman
> Attachments: wait_patch.rb
>
>
> Currently it is possible that Watir will block forever in it's #wait method
> under some circumstances. There are questions once in a while in the group
> also about the timeout of Watir.
> Unfortunately currently there is no timeout!
> I have a proposal to add a timeout. And make it hardcoded - let's say 5
> minutes. Why hardcoded? Because i think that if your page is unable to load
> in 5 minutes then your page is broken and should be fixed/changed anyway.
> This would be a small indicator to the developers and testers that they
> shouldn't waste so much time of their lives for waiting some bad application
> to render a page.
> Charley proposed to create an issue and let people to vote (not downvote) it!
> So, what do you guys think about making Watir a little as an Opinionated
> Software as Rails tries to be?
> (PS, if your page loads more than 5 minutes and you cannot get yourself
> together to fix it or tell your developers to fix it and you really need to
> have longer timeouts, then you can always monkey-patch #wait. We're talking
> about Ruby where everything is possible, remember?)
