Description

« Hide

wait will fail on redirected page.
the command I used was clickAndWait.
the link will popuplate a page (PageA) which will be redirected to another page(PageB) using response.sendRedirect(in JSP).
I think the reason why it will fail is that the browser will send onload event when PageA is loaded. But we should wait for PageB's onload event for wait loop to end.

you can try it using a PageB that last for some delay (1 second).

testcase will be like this:
home has a link pointing to PageA named linkToA
home.html: <a href="PageA" id="linkToA">link</a>
PageA.jsp: <%response.sendRedirect("PageB.html");%>
PageB.html: <body>some text</body>

open home
clickAndWait linkToA
verifyTextPresent some text

I suspect that we will never get this working in any simple manner.
What we should be able to support is a waitForLocation, waitForTitle, waitForText, etc. any of which you could use to have Selenium wait for something that indicates that you have reached the expected page.

This looks very similar to Issue 42.
