Wait on a text to be appear in SitePrism Capybara Framework

Question

I tried to wait on a text before perform any action by follows SitePrism URL https://github.com/natritmeyer/site_prism in this section>> "Methods Supporting Capybara Options".

@page.wait_until_<Element>_visible :text => "Some Text!!!"

But i am getting below error:

undefined method `zero?' for {:text=>"Some Text!!!"}:Hash (NoMethodError)

Why i am getting this error? Am i doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Looking at the site_prism code - https://github.com/natritmeyer/site_prism/blob/master/lib/site_prism/element_container.rb#L134 the generated method takes a timeout, and the options. It seems like you need to pass the timeout value if you want to pass other options

wait_until_<Element>_visible <timeout value in seconds>, text: "Some Text!!!" 

Seems like an error in the documentation, or some old defaulting behavior was removed or something

Old question

For those still hitting this SO answer, this has been remedied in v3 of the API and is no longer an issue. See: https://github.com/natritmeyer/site_prism/blob/master/UPGRADING.md#wait_until-methods

wait_for_ methods now no longer exist, and you should just implicitly wait by calling element i.e. my_button

If you want it to wait, you can modify the Capybara.default_wait_time or pass in a wait key i.e. my_button(wait: 3)
