Execution controlling

Retry sequences

Usually, every action is capsuled by a retry sequence.

So when you have a text element

from paf.uielement import UiElement

text_element: UiElement

the assertion is performed multiple times as defined in env variable PAF_SEQUENCE_RETRY_COUNT.

text_element.expect.count.be(1)

But if you want to perform multiple actions in a retry sequence, you can use the following code.

from paf.control import retry

retry(lambda: text_element.expect.count.be(1))

If you want to perform an action when the conditions failed, use the following construct.

This will refresh the page until the text element is present.

retry(lambda: text_element.expect.count.be(1), lambda e: text_element.webdriver.refresh())

You can also tweak the execution a bit, by overriding timings for the sequence.

from paf.control import change

with change(retry_count=3, wait_after_fail=0):
    retry(lambda: text_element.expect.count.be(1), lambda e: text_element.webdriver.refresh())

Execution speed (experimental)

You can change the execution speed of several actions like:

from paf.control import change, ExecutionSpeed

with change(execution_speed=ExecutionSpeed.fast):
    element.type("Hello World")
    element.click()
