How can I write a Visual Studio WebAii Test that waits for a jQuery

  • 0

How can I write a Visual Studio WebAii Test that waits for a jQuery animate operation to complete before continuing?

Currently I’m just pausing for 5 seconds using a loop, but this is prone to breaking easily if the animation time changes.

I’ve tried some wait methods in the WebAii API but none of them seem to wait for that kind of thing. I think the closest I’ve come is Actions.WaitForElement(..) however the element that’s being animated is already in the DOM so this doesn’t seem to work. The wait methods also seem obscure to me.

    Can you edit the javascript in order to add a callback function to the jQuery animate() call? If so, this would allow you to put in a hook that you can more easily detect with the WebAii API. You could, for example, have the callback on the animation add an (invisible) element to the DOM and then use the WaitForElement method to detect that. Somewhat of a kludge but it would work!
