Is exact duration of a test action available in sahi?

grigorio

Hi,

consider sahi script fragment:

...
_setValue(_textarea("wysiwygcontent"), $request_name);
// here I need start a timer
_click(_submit("Save"));
// here I need stop a timer and output EXACT duration of '_click(_submit("Save"));' in test log
...

Can I measure exact time duration of a '_click(_submit("Save"));' action in the example above?

I suppose, I have to use Javascript's getDate ().getTime () method and have to calculate time difference in milliseconds.

But, as I refer to sahi's settings file, 'sahi.properties', I found a parameter in it:

#Time (in milliseconds) delay between steps
script.time_between_steps=200

so, will these 200 milliseconds be included in time difference obtained by Javascript's getDate ().getTime ()? or not?

or, general question,

can I measure exact time duration of an arbitrary test action (_click, _setSelected, etc.)? if corresponding DOM elements have event handlers, can I get their spent time too, in total duration? can I ommit any sahi's dalays between steps in the calculation?

Sahi executes steps only after a delay. That behaviour is necessary for automatic waits.

For your purpose, you could wrap your _click inside another function, take the time diff, log it and then proceed.

<browser>
function mySahiClickFunction(obj){
  var d = new Date();
  _click(obj);
  var diff = new Date() - d;
  _log("diff = " + diff);
}
</browser>

_call(mySahiClickFunction(_button("id")));

Would that work for you?
