Having an issue with a particular webpage using withWindow and
withNewWindow. I can't post the sites because they are internal sites, but
what is happening on one particular link is it opens a new tab and it takes
about 3 seconds for the page to load and it looks like there is a redirect
happening. I thought I could just bypass the redirect and using a waitFor
and waiting for the URL of the final page.
def "click 'wellness articles and videos' link"(){
> given:
> at HomePage
>
> when:
> withNewWindow({ click(page.wellnessArticlesLink)},wait: true ) {
> waitFor {currentUrl.contains("url-here")}
> }
>
> then:
> at HomePage
> }
>

What is happening is it clicks the link and opens a new tab and then the
page stops loading after about 2 seconds, as if I am sending some kind of
stop command. It then sits there for about 5 minutes until the test
fails. I noticed if I only put a println statement in the withNewWindow
block instead of a waitFor or an assert then it works. So it seems like
the driver switching to the new tab is actually stopping the loading
somehow. The same thing happens when I use withWindow.
Right now I have to resort to this:
> def "click 'wellness articles and videos' link"(){
> given:
> page = at HomePage
>
> when:
> withNewWindow({ click(page.wellnessArticlesLink)},wait: true ) {
> sleep(3000)
> assert currentUrl.contains("url-here")
> }
>
> then:
> at HomePage
> }
>

That 3 second hard sleep prevents this issue from happening. I HATE using
hard sleeps though so this is not my preferred way. I haven't had any
issue with the withNewWindow function until now and in fact I am using it
in about 6 other tests just fine, but those sites don't seem to have a
redirect or anything.
Any help is appreciated.
