Axe Test Automation Platform

I have added the 'wait' action into my workbook and when I click on 'build' the following error appears in the Output:

*ERROR*: Cannot map action 'Wait5000' (object = 'Refresh') (class = 'WebElement')

It seems to expect the 'wait' command to have an object mapped.

I have mapped the 'Refresh' and successfully built and run tests but am now attempting to add a five second wait after Refresh by using the following:

Refresh    
action    data
Wait5000

Hi Paul,

As a general guide, you should really try and avoid hard-coded delays/waits in your automated tests. However, if you really need to do this then you have a few different options, based on the example you provided:

1. Remove the class entry from the action map. Then the wait action will apply to any object type.
2. Pass the time as a parameter e.g. Wait(5000)
3. Pass the time as data e.g. action=Wait data=5000

See the Axe Technician Guide for more information on creating custom actions, including adding parameters to actions.
