This is what I did to the goto method:
File Name: watir_mixin.rb
*****************************
module WatirMixin
def goto_no_wait(url)
# These are the contents of the Watir::goto method, without the "wait" call
@ie.navigate(url)
# I also left of the explicit return value because I don't use it
end
end
*****************************
Then, in my test case:
*****************************
require '../../watir_mixin.rb'
require 'watir'
include Watir
class IE
include WatirMixin
end
class Watir::Frame
include WatirMixin
end
ie = Watir::IE.new
ie.goto_no_wait("http://site_with_popup_during_load.com";)
****************************
I think you can do almost the same thing with a mixin module for the
SelectList class:
Find the class in the watir.rb file. Find the select(item) method
(which calls another method, to complicate things). Copy the contents
of the method with the guts of select(item).
In your mixin module, define a new method called select_no_wait(item)
or something similar. Paste in the contents from the previous
paragraph. Delete the @container.wait line. And you should be good
to go.
Past results are no guarantee of future performance, etc. Also, using
mixins like this, I believe you run a risk of getting stepped on by
methods added to future releases of Watir that happen to have the same
name as methods you have defined in mixins.
Questions for the list:
1) Is there an easier way to do this?
2) If not, what with the growing popularity of javascript events
triggered by such things as list selection, button clicking, etc,
would it be a popular idea to start defining a framework for alternate
behaviors like "no_wait" of action methods like click, goto, select,
etc?
One suggestion: All action methods take an optional hash as a
parameter, allowing for click(:no_wait => true) to have the same
behavior as click_no_wait. In Akash's case, he could use select(item,
:no_wait => true). I'd be happy to contribute some test cases if this
sounds like a decent approach.
