[Network] Waiting for XHR/Fetch request

[Guikingone]

Hi everyone 👋

Small question about network spy and XHR/fetch requests, is there any way to listen and wait for a request to end before executing some code? 🤔

Example:

• Given I am on the homepage and I need that a fetch request succeed to see some elements (think autocomplete/etc).

Can Panther listen network requests and use something like route (Cypress syntax here) which allows us to wait for a specific request, alias it and call some part of a test following the end of the request? 🤔

I've saw that ChromeOptions can use a enableNetwork option but I don't know if Panther can call this type of options 🤔

Try this if you're using jQuery:

$driver = $client->getWebDriver();

$driver->wait(30, 2000)->until(static function ($driver) {
    /** @var RemoteWebDriver $driver */
    return !$driver->executeScript('return (typeof jQuery !== "undefined" && jQuery.active);');
});

You could run any JavaScript Code inside executeScript. If it returns false (in this case), the driver will stop waiting. See also: https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver/wiki/How-to-work-with-AJAX-(jQuery,-Prototype,-Dojo)
