Elixir Hound wait for page to load


I'm submitting a login form and trying to capture the HTML afterwards using elixir / hound. After submitting I run page_source and get nothing. If I wait for a second (for the page to finish loading) then I get back the html.

Is there a way to make hound wait till the page is finished loading?

I'm currently doing: :timer.sleep(2000) as a work around, hoping for a better way :/


Solution

  • This is what I do:

    Create a function that repeatedly checks for a test condition every 100ms, in this case I'm waiting for particular text to appear by using visible_page_text

    @tag timeout: 6000
    test "My Test" do
      assert wait_for(fn -> Regex.match?(~r/Success/, visible_page_text()) end)
    end
    
    def wait_for(func) do
      :timer.sleep(100)
      case func.() do
        true -> true
        false -> wait_for(func)
      end
    end
