Execution Delay

[Talal]

Hi there,

I am checking for element in the screen not exist, I used "Wait element not exist", the element in the screen was exist, I expect this test should fail, but the check is pass, but when I add Execution Delay "Wait for '500' " before the checking, the test for element not exist is fail as expected. My questions are, how I know I need to add exection delay? and do I used the wright command for checking on element does not exist?   

Your help and support is much appreciated

Hello Talal,

I can confirm you are using the right approach. The only reason I can think of to explain why adding a 500ms delay would make a difference is if the element was being added at the time your wait for element not exist was executing. For example:

Step 14 click a button which causes the UI to change, adding the element that step 15 will check
Step 15 Wait for element exists not

Step 15 may unexpectedly pass because it's easy for the test script to outrun the application you're testing. In this case adding the 500ms delay is the right thing to do.

Kind regards,

Thanks Cody for you explanation, in the example I mentioned even the 500ms delay some times not working I have to increasd to 1000ms, my question is how much the suitable ms delay we have to add, is any standerd things we need to follow or just "try and error"

Hello Talal,

Unfortunately every application is unique. As a result there is no such thing as a standard delay you can use. I'd like to better understand the problem you are running into. Is there any way I can access your application directly so i can see the problem you're running into first hand? Can you give me specific repro steps for me to follow?

All the best,
