global wait before performing actions such as click or write about canopy

[lefthandedgoat]

To do this I will probably need to created a new function called element that takes in a css selector and returns a selenium IWebElement.

This will allow you to access the properties on it and check for them. Then you could write a function that checks for say visiblity to be false, and pass that into waitFor

something like this

let loadDivToDisappear () =
(element "#loadingDiv").Visible = false

the function you define will need to be of signature unit -> bool
like the one above.

waitFor would take any function with this signature and execute it until it is true.

Will this work for you?

Will also add elements to return collections

Added! Thanks for the suggestion.

You can get it with package 0.2.5 from nuget

Here are the examples that I added into the basic test project.

wip (fun _ ->
describe "define a custom wait for using any function that takes in unit and returns bool"
let pageLoaded () =
(element "#wait_for").Text = "Done!"
!^ "http://localhost:4567/waitFor"
waitFor pageLoaded
"#wait_for" == "Done!")

wip (fun _ ->
describe "define a custom wait for using any function that takes in unit and returns bool, example using lists"
let fiveNumbersShown () =
(elements ".number").Count = 5
!^ "http://localhost:4567/waitFor"
waitFor fiveNumbersShown)

Simply define any function you like that takes in unit "()" and returns bool.

Pass that to the new function that you suggested 'waitFor' and it will wait until that function resolves true or a timeout has occurred. The timeout is based off the compareTimeout which is configurable.

Enjoy!
