HTMLUnit doesn't wait for Javascript

Question

I have a GWT based page that I would like to create an HTML snapshot for it using HtmlUnit. The page loads using Ajax/JavaScript information on a product, so for about 1 sec

Answer 1

As documentation states, waitForBackgroundJavaScript is experimental:

Experimental API: May be changed in next release and may not yet work perfectly!

The next approach has always worked for me, regardless of the BrowserVersion used:

int tries = 5;  // Amount of tries to avoid infinite loop
while (tries > 0 && aCondition) {
    tries--;
    synchronized(page) {
        page.wait(2000);  // How often to check
    }
}

Note aCondition is whatever you're checking for. EG:

page.getElementById("loading-text-element").asText().equals("Loading...")
