Robotframework wait until page is fully loaded-CodePudding

I would like to automate a log in process in Robotframework. Unfortunately I don't know that the current user has a soft token or not. If the user doesn't have any, will get an SMS immediately. If the user has one or more soft tokens, he/she has to click on a link, to get the SMS.

The process: the login process

The code:

Input Text  ${userNameField}  ${User}
Click element  ${nextButton}

${present}=  Run Keyword And Return Status    Element Should Be Visible   ${getSMSCodeButton}
Run Keyword If    ${present}    Click element   ${getSMSCodeButton}
Wait Until Element Is Visible  ${passwordField}
Input Text  ${passwordField}  Password1

The main problem, after I click on the next button, the ${present} variable will be always False, because the next page doesn't loaded yet. If I add some implicit wait (3 sec) after "Click element ${nextButton}", the code works like charm, but I don't want to use the Sleep keyword, rather I would like to wait for to load the page fully.

How should I solve it, with explicit wait?

CodePudding user response：

You can control better the implicit wait and timeouts when importing the library. See the section Importing.

But by replacing Element Should Be Visible by [Wait Until Element is Visible][2] you will get what you need. Below is you test code, using new recommended IF:

*** Settings ***
Library      SeleniumLibrary    15    5

(...)

Input Text  ${userNameField}  ${User}
Click element  ${nextButton}

${present}=  Run Keyword And Return Status    Wait Until Element Is Visible 
   ${getSMSCodeButton}
IF    ${present}
    Click Element   ${getSMSCodeButton}
END
Wait Until Element Is Visible  ${passwordField}
Input Text  ${passwordField}  Password1

CodePudding user response：

There is alternate kw present too, try to use Waits until the element locator appears on the current page.

Wait Until Page Contains Element <locator>
