How to wait until element present? - selenium-ide

I want my Selenium IDE case test to wait 10 secs for the element id = "successed" to appear, and fail the test if it won't happen within 10 secs
This is what I wrote;
Selenium.prototype.doWaitForElementIdToAppear = function(){
selenium.doWaitForCondition("selenium.assertElementNotPresent(\"id=successed\")", "10000");
}
...but it never fails.
Any help will be appreciated.

Solved this way, using Selenium in-build function

ignore.synchronization=true/ browser.waitforAngularEnabled(true) takes so long when compared to browser.sleep()

While executing e2e tests in protractor when we are using ignore.synchronization=true/ browser.waitforAngularEnabled(true) to handle waits is too slow when compared to browser.sleep(10000) to proceed to next step. How to address these kind of wait issues to make the script execution faster?
Difference:
ignore.synchronization=true/ browser.waitforAngularEnabled(true) are used to make protractor wait until all the angular modules are loaded.
browser.sleep(// time in ms) is raw way of stopping the protractor for the given particular ms.
Solution:
To handle wait issues:
use browser.waitforAngularEnabled(false) after getting your base url. Then you can use expected waits which makes the protractor wait until that expectation is completed.

How to make Protractor's browser.wait() more verbose?

In Protractor tests I call many times browser.wait method for example to wait once the particular element will appear on the screen or it will be clickable.
In many cases tests passes on my local machine, but does not on other.
I receive very generic information about the timeout which doesn't help me a lot to debug / find a source of issue.
Is it possible to make a browser.wait more verbose, for example:
if at least defaultTimeoutInterval will elapse when waiting for particular element, will it be possible to console.log information about the element that it tried to wait for,
take a screenshot when the timeout error occurs,
provide full call stack when timeout appears in browser.wait
If the main issue is that you don't know for which element the wait timed out, I would suggest writing a helper function for wait and use it instead of wait, something like:
wait = function(variable, variableName,waitingTime){
console.log('Waiting for ' + variableName);
browser.wait(protractor.ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(variablename),waitingTime);
console.log('Success');
}
Because protractor stops executing test after first fail, if wait timed out, console won't print success message after failing to load a certain element.
For screenshots I suggest trying out protractor-jasmine2-screenshot-reporter, it generates an easily readable html report with screenshots and debug information on failed tests (for example, in which code line the failure occured).
Look into using protractor's Expected Condition, you can specify what to wait for and how long to wait for it.
For screenshots there are npm modules out there that can take a screenshot when a test fails. This might help.
browser.wait returns a promise, so catch the error and print/throw something meaningful like:
await browser.wait(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(css), waitingTime).catch((error) =>
{
throw new CustomError(`Could not find ${css} ${error.message}`)
});

Sahi scripting wait or time delay

I was wondering if someone could help me. I want to introduce a 10 minute wait or time delay within my sahi script.
Can someone confirm the correct command to use?
Thanks in advance
Just have a look at the docs, the command you are looking for is _wait
https://sahipro.com/docs/sahi-apis/action-apis.html#Waits
Write _wait(parameter); where parameter is your the time in milli-seconds you want to introduce the delay for.
In your case try _wait(600000);
You can also use the setSpeed(parameter); API , in this case Sahi will wait for the time specified in milli-seconds as a parameter , after each task in the script. But I guess waiting 10 mins after each task is not your requirement.
You can use this method:
_wait($timeout, [$condition])
here $timeout is the duration you want to wait for. And $Condition is something that you can customize based on what condition you want to wait for.
Or you can just use the overloaded method _wait($timeout) if you want to wait for a specific duration.
You can also apply a conditional wait:
_wait(timeOut, _isVisible($element));
This will either wait till "timeOut" milliseconds, or till $element is visible. (whichever condition is satisfied earlier)

How to call the controller task on each 1 min interval

I have created task on controller and there is loop which is loading for 100 times.
Now I want to load it for 25 times and pause that loop for 1 min and after that it will execute next 25 items same for next 25.
I have checked it with sleep but its not working.
Can you please advise me if is there any way on plugin event or any other method.
Thanks
This is actually unrelated to Joomla! Since you're creating a long running process you need to start it with something else than a browser. A CRON job is a good idea here if you want to execute this operation multiple times. Otherwise it can run via command line. Make sure the max_execution time setting of PHP does not cause any trouble.
If you still need this within Joomla please have a look at the CLI documentation.

protractor what does the timeout in expected conditions stand for?

Protractor: Version 1.8.0
browser.wait(EC.presenceOf(element), 3000);
what exactly does the 3 seconds stand for? and is there an error thrown when 3 seconds have passed and element cannot be found? or does the test just continue?
I ran a test with:
element(by.id('#input')).sendKeys('foo');
browser.wait(EC.presenceOf(element(by.xpath(BAD-LOCATOR)), 3000));
element(by.id('#input')).sendKeys('bar');
BAD-LOCATOR is just a xpath referencing a element that doesn't exists. but upon evaluating this line, the test waits beyond this time until it hits the jasmine defaultTimeoutInterval timeout (I set for 25sec). Why does it not fail in 3 secs since the promise did not get resolved in 3secs? I'm expecting the wait() to fail and the 2nd sendKeys command to execute since its next in control flow.
So the above block of code will print 'foo' into the textbox and on the next command wait until the jasmine timeout to error out (Error: Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within timeout specified by jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL.). I'm expecting an error within 3secs. 'bar'never gets printed.
It's the time out, i mean after 3 seconds if the element isn't present until now it will time out.
For the jasmine error you are getting i suggest that you add the call back
describe("long asynchronous specs", function() {
beforeEach(function(done) {
done();
}, 1000);
