Yup. I'm working on multithreaded tests and that seems
to happen (not a lot, but then it doesn't have to
happen a lot to mess things up). You can use Ruby's
timeout library to set a timeout value for an action
or series of actions and then rescue the timeout
exception when it occurs. something like the example
below should work. But someone else out there may have
a simpler way of dealing with it.
----------------------------
require 'watir'
require 'timeout'
include Watir
ie = IE.new
def timeout
begin
timeout(120.0) do |timeout_length|
ie.goto("www.yoursite.com")
end
rescue Timeout::Error => e
puts e
ie.close
end
end
