If you are using jbehave-web and its Selenium integration - please make sure you are using Selenium's Wait functionality.

For other asynchronous processing, I prefer to have a polling step, much like Mauro described but I'd use it to refer to what results you are polling for.

 

When the user makes asynchronous call
And the call completes (within 5 seconds)
Then ...

 

Replacing that with what the "call completes" actually means.  You will typically implement that step with a polling method.

Hello,

no, there is nothing built-in for this, as users can implement (typically in the step executing the call or in a separate step) their own sleep patterns using the standard JDK TimeUnit functionality.

Implementing a separate step is more readable and communicative, thus preferable.   E.g.

When the user makes asynchronous call
And the users waits for 5 seconds
Then ...

Cheers

Hello people,

 

I have this scenario in my mind where one of the step makes an asynchronous call at the

GUI (this call is supposed to persist some data in to the database ) and then executes the 

next step present in the scenario which actually makes some DB call over the data that 

has been just changed by the previous asych. call .

 

In such a case we would like to implicitly wait for next step to begin execution or wait till some

event happens . Do we have such a feature built in our JBehave to take care of such a situation ? 

 

 

Thanks,
