Mismatch between actual load time and time which Sahi shows

vineet.arora3

Hi,

I need to calculate the loadtime for a page and am using this script:

//Find time before navigating to a page
var $starttime = new Date().getTime();
_navigateTo("http://www.abc.com";

var $finishtime = new Date().getTime();
//Just before setting value in a textbox, I am calculating time.
_setValue(_textbox("q"), "vineet");

var $loadTime = $finishtime - $starttime;
_log("load time = " + $loadTime + " ms");

This time which is $loadtime is very less as compared to the time calculated manually for the same page load. Why there is so much difference of about 6-7 seconds?

Do I need to change something in Sahi configuration file?

Thanks

Hi Vineet,

_navigateTo considers itself done when the command has been issued to the browser.
It is the next command (_setValue(_textbox("q"), "vineet");) that waits till the page loads.
Add a simple statement using a browser action API before the end time:

//Find time before navigating to a page
var $starttime = new Date().getTime();
_navigateTo("http://www.abc.com");
//Dummy statement which helps wait till page load 
_assertExists(_title()); 
var $finishtime = new Date().getTime();
//Just before setting value in a textbox, I am calculating time.
_setValue(_textbox("q"), "vineet");
var $loadTime  = $finishtime  - $starttime;
_log("load time = " + $loadTime + " ms");
