I am currently in the process of automating a workflow that involves generating a report. Each time the report is generated, it takes a varying amount of time (for example, anywhere from 10 to 50 seconds). I am facing difficulty in finding an effective way for the driver to wait until the report has been generated and then continue if the ExpectedCondition does not occur. Presently, although I can intentionally fail the test by instructing the driver to look for the expected condition "Your Report is complete," the issue is that the code does not proceed to the try-catch block after this line. It appears to be the final line executed.
Workflow: Starting from the main page where the report generation is initiated -> Pop-up window for the report generator (with a maximum wait time of 50 seconds) -> TWO POSSIBLE SCENARIOS: 1. "Another report is running, please try again later." 2. "Your Report is complete"
My selenium code:
//explicit wait
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 50);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'" + "Your Report is complete" + "')]")));
try{
Assert.assertTrue(driver.getPageSource().contains("Your Report is complete."));
log.info("Your report was successfully generated.");
}
catch(AssertionError ex){
log.error("Your report was not generated.");
throw ex;
}
finally {
driver.close();
// change focus back to old tab
driver.switchTo().window(oldTab);
Thread.sleep(3000);
}
