Page-Object introduces its own couple of waits
(https://github.com/cheezy/page-object/blob/master/lib/page-object.rb#L87-L113):
- default_page_wait which has a default of 30 and
- default_element_wait which has a default of 5
The default_element_wait will impact the Element methods #check_exists,
#check_visible, #when_present, #when_not_present and #wait_until. Also
impacts some of accessors for waiting for a page to load.
Setting Page-Object's default_element_wait only sometimes overrides Watir's
in-built waiting. For example:
- Watir does not do any waiting before checking if an element exists,
where as Page-Object's #check_exists wraps the call in a wait (using
default_element_wait).
- In most cases, using #when_present will be overriding - eg
element.when_present.click. Page-Object's #when_present wait effectively
takes precedence over Watir's in-built one. That said, I would argue you
should be removing the #when_present calls (they are a relic from before
Watir had the in-built waiting).
Unfortunately not a black-and-white answer. Though again more evidence that
we need to re-visit what Page-Object is doing given how much Watir has
evolved.
