Problem with timout - doesn´t work

Hallo,
the hole timout functionallity will not work. I test an application, that takes time to load pages. Sometimes 1 minute or longer.
So i tried to change the global timeout from 30000 to 60000.
I get [error] Timed out after 30000ms
Then i tried to add command 'setTimeout' and set it to 90000.
I get [error] Timed out after 30000ms again.
So, what can i do?
Thank you for help!

hi

If you know that some click will load new page and take lot of time use this command instead of click:

clickAndWait(locator)
Generated from click(locator)
Arguments:

* locator - an element locator

Clicks on a link, button, checkbox or radio button. If the click action causes a new page to load (like a link usually does), call waitForPageToLoad.

Hope this will help you. Best of luck.

Bye

I tried in couple ways, but nothing worked.
I had already clickAndWait. After that command i inserted the waitForPageToLoad, but Selenium runs further and want to change elements, there are still not there.
I tried pause command, but there is no pause.Then i tried the waitForTextPresent, but Selenium run´s further.
Very strange! No command for check and wait seems like work correct. Perhaps the error is somewhere else?

Hello? No answer?

Are the commands

- setTimout
- waitForPageToLoad
- waitForTextPresent

working by you???

When yes, what´s you environment? OS, FF Version? Perhaps it depend on this.

Hi Jochen,

In those case you can try waitForElementPresent("provide any element name or text that will be displayed on ewpage");

Have you tried Selenium RC? It gives much more flexibility.

It seems like SE don´t work.
Now i tried waitForElementPresent. In value is standing the text. Now SE wait till wrong timeout, shows the error and go further.
SE is not practible. I will try the hint for using RC.

RC is very time-consuming.
So, IDE will be the easier an fast effective way to test simple forward sites.
But no wait commands are working. I thought it depends on ff version. So i deinstalled ff 3 completely and install version 2. The same effect. Timout and wait commands do nothing. What a pitty. Selenium is not the right tool, because it´s really not working.

Why do you say RC is very time-consuming? Do you mean it is taking a lot of time to set-up?
I'm using Selenium and it works fine for me. Occasionally the waitforpage does not seem to work (as in the page loads but we still need to wait for some AJAX calls to get completed by using waitfortext or waitForElement).

The problem you are facing seems to be about the timeout value not working. I'm not sure but it does sound like a bug to me. You could log it in http://jira.openqa.org.

But aside from this problem you had selenium works great (on firefox). Its easy to write/read the code for this and it works fast.

Hi Jochen,

Could you tell me steps exactly where u r failing.
If after clicking button new page is opening . try to provide element locator id in waitForElementPresent();
Specify some text appearig in that page.

Hi

You can use 'pause' command which will work fine. I used puase command with various timings
