waits.forPageLoad does not work in some cases

[rgonzomatic]

I have a web page that comes up after a login/password is entered. This is an ssl page. I put an assert in the page that comes up afterward. It just blows by the waits.forPageLoad even though the page is not loaded. So I added a waits.sleep 15000, but this was not enough, its slow for some reason. The waits.sleep is a hack. waits.forPageLoad should work and eliminate the need for the sleep hack.

1.2 is almost out the door, we're not taking bugs at this point in to this release that are not regressions.

If you feel up to it, could you modify the integer 500 in windmill/html/js/waits.js to something higher? I think what is probably happen is that its taking just long enough to start the load that the forPageLoad doesn't have a chance to kick in. Knowing how high the number has to go before it starts working will help me to build a more dynamic fix for this.

Sorry I forgot to add the line number: 231

I can get around it by using waitForElement. What release should I be submitting tickets against?

[mikeal]

Don't worry about logging in the proper release, as long as the bugs are getting logged we don't mind moving them around.

[rgonzomatic]

I made the 500 into 1500 (1.5s) and it worked. (in wait.js)

waits.forPageLoad uses whether 'document.body.style' exists to determine a page load done. I find that in some case this method can not work correctly. While a image doesnot load successfully, wait.forPageLoad fires and returns in advance.

[weiliang.lin]

Does anyone have any idea to solve this problem?

[mikeal]

waits.forPageLoad is basically "as good as it can be". Any and all reliable methods for figuring out an event when a page is really done loading are fudged by browsers in order to gain better performance on page load.

The best thing to do is wait for the element you want to interact with, or with the last element that needs to be loaded on the page. It's much more reliable than waiting for page load.

[weiliang.lin]

Is there any method to capture the onload event of the testwin?

[mikeal]

There is but it won't help you, onload fires long before the page is actually done rendering.

[weiliang.lin]

Now, primarily I need a mechanism which can work on firefox 3.5, not to consider various browser. Do you konw how to do it?

[mikeal]

Firefox *definitely* fires onload before all the rendering is complete.

You can't just wait for a specific element on the page?

[weiliang.lin]

I have many Pages which i need to wait for his load. When i use waits.forPageLoad, I find that it can not work as its name. If I go to wait for the last element, I need to find out manually which element is the last one and hard-code the element's id in the windmill's test script.

[mikeal]

Instead of trying to wait for the *last* element to load, wait for the element that you're going to need to interact with. That's the most reliable method.

It's not as simple as waiting for onload and we've been working on this for years, the Browser vendors make this incredibly difficult.

[weiliang.lin]

I have tried to wait for the element. But it also can not work. It returns before a picture is fully loaded, although it waits for the image element. Now the only work way is to modify the web application that I need to add a 'onload' event listener. when the page triggers the onload event, my event handler sets a flag, such as document.body.ready='done'. Then i poll this flag value on windmill's waits.forPageLoad function.If the value exists, I return true of waits.forPageLoad. This method can work correctly on firefox and it returns until the image is fully loaded. But the problem is that I need to modify the web application.

[adam]

I have just added a new method called: waits.forImageLoaded, this is in the master trunk source on github. This takes a locator and a timeout, instead of waiting for the page to load, you can wait for this image to load and give it as long a timeout as you would like.

Instead of trying to wait for the *last* element to load, wait for the element that you're going to need to interact with. That's the most reliable method.  Dissertations  Essays  Research Papers  Term Papers  Theses
