Xebium, fitnesse & Selenium Pause

Question

Im currently using Xebium, which is allows Selenium to be used with Fitnesse testing. In Selenium i can set a pause for 3000 milliseconds. When i look at the source code for fitnesse it has the following line :

| do | pause | on | 3000 |

However when i run this test in fitnesse it doesn't wait for 3 seconds liek i thought it would and goes on to the next line instead.

I need the pause for the screen to load a button properly. I think fitnesse has a problem with seleniums use of pause or interrupts it another way.

Answer 1

A bit late, but for future visitors: Have you tried waiting for the button to appear? Selenium documentation suggests doing this:

Many Actions can be called with the “AndWait” suffix, e.g. “clickAndWait”. This suffix tells Selenium that the action will cause the browser to make a call to the server, and that Selenium should wait for a new page to load.

Answer 2

I tried this and it worked:

ensure | do | pause | on | 3000 |

I know it's been more than two years but I hope this will help people like me who have just started working on Xebium. Cheers
