#selenium

Greetings, in need of some help please. I have a test that is failing consistently but only in 1 environment...I am guessing because the page takes over 30 secs. to load in that particular environment

ortho: so set the explicit timeouts to something that works reliably

no?

I had the PageLoadTimeout set to 30 secs. but uppping it to 60 secs isn't making a difference

here's the kicker...the code for navigating...I am not using URLs to navigate, but the code for navigating to to that page isn't specific to that page, I've refactored it out to be generic

I am using page objects...but the navigation is abstracted out into its own classes...the code successfully clicks on the subMenu element and then it jus waits...and the next line of code which is a wait for the Title to be "X"...doesn't get hit

allegedgly it's the .Click line that throws the exception but the click action does happen

ortho: which bit is timing out? Are you using implicit or explicit timeouts?

wait.Until(d => d.FindElement(By.LinkText(subMenuText))).Click() this does actually fire off the action

using explicit waits

the exception message says Timed out waiting for page to load...

thanks for the help simonstewart

ortho: how is the timeout configured? sounds like you need to just bump that up for this particular click

g'day all!

howdy jimevans

here's hoping i don't have to play social justice warrior in the channel today...\

<llaskin> wait what happened yesterday that u had to?

check the log, llaskin.

:log

<llaskin> :log

from last night.

I've both enabled and disabled usage of the SetPageLoadTimeout webdriver property but it doesn't really make a difference...upped it to 60 secs....but still not a difference...so I'm guessing that particular property is irrelevant here

hmn, gonna try some'n else

g’day jimevans!

ohai, simonstewart!

<llaskin> the Xtor chat?

About to bump the version of OS X on this laptop, so may disappear for a bit

no, the ElChico/Hello123321 one.

jimevans: the “gay” one?

that'd be the one, yes.

*sigh*

of course, the attitude of "i know better, regardless of how much experience you might have with this library that i'm only starting to work with" didn't help my attitude either.

Also *sigh*

<llaskin> wow he went all out with the gay thing…and then went racist…horrible.

indeed.

the most irritating thing for me was his bloody text colour

thankfully, my client doesn't render stuff like that.

I wondered what that 2.0 stuff was about

it's a shame it renders slurs

We’ve all been young and stupid before

(biab)

for me, it wasn't so much the original comment, it was more when i brought it up, the whole "but that's not offensive" attempt at excusing it really set me off.

good lord

oops

i just read through all that crap

im pretty sure I am actually less intelligent now

yeaaaah

sounded like he was from brazil

or peru

they both do "jajajaj"

he was an ill mannered douchebag thats for sure.

i had him pegged as somewhere in central or south america

jimevans: im sorry you had to go through that

you were a lot more patient than I would have been

And back

So, finishing the thought

We’ve all been young and stupid before. jimevans did the right thing in calling it out

Because we want a community that’s inclusive and welcoming

And because it sometimes takes a mistake for us to learn.

<titusfortner> that's very... optimistic :)

:log

<llaskin> that guy didn’t want to learn IMO

<titusfortner> but jimevans handled it better than I would. I saw the conversation and was ready to kick him

back now.\

WhereIsMySpoon: my patience came at a cost. i had a pretty severe migraine overnight.

<titusfortner> :(

Is there some conversation between se-slack and titusfortner that the rest of us can’t see?

that is titusfortner talking, I believe

on the slack channel

se-slack is a slack-to-irc bridge, i believe.

se-slack is the integration bot thing

you can blame @titusfortner for it ;)

<titusfortner> The bots repeat everything in each channel to the other

<titusfortner> it's my fault

-_-

g'day simonstewart looks like you had a nice trip :)

Oh! Slack! The centrally managed, single point of failure, IRC-with-GIFS thing?

indeed

Belgium was a good trip
