Getting protractor to click button in rapid succession WITHOUT waiting
This is pretty ironic because every single answer I came across while looking for the solution is explicitly trying to accomplish the exact reverse.
I'm trying to write a test case to ensure that my button that fires off a POST request doesn't respond to clicks beyond the first one in case someone has a habit of doubleclicking buttons. I have ignoreSynchronization set to true but the clicks apparently wait for the page load, so by the time the second click triggers, the button can no longer be found because the application advanced to the next page. I have also tried to trigger the click outside of protractor itself, but because the mechanism I'm using to disable the button is CSS-based (pointer-events: none), clicks triggered via javascript ignore the attribute and trigger the event anyway.
I have tried:
- Using browser.actions to do doubleclicks
- Calling
element.click()twice - Using
browser.executeScriptto trigger the click event. - Busywaiting on the mouse click handler so that protractor can get in the clicks
- Introducing delay on the mockjax response so that protractor can get in the clicks
Any help would be appreciated.
Note: My application doesn't actually use angular :X
